Michael Klinkner
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Working with children and adolescents requires a holistic approach. I help clients address their attention issues from a variety of different angles. I work with the child or adolescent on their specific issues, but I will also work with the family as a whole so that the family, as a whole, can heal.

Emily Wilson
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
I provide dedicated support for children and adolescents who are facing emotional, social, or behavioral challenges—whether it’s anxiety, depression, trauma, difficulties with self-esteem, or struggles in family and peer relationships. My approach is compassionate and developmentally informed: I work alongside young clients and their families to help them understand what’s going on, build healthier ways of coping, and restore balance within the home and school environments.
Through a blend of age-appropriate methods (such as play-based interventions, storytelling, structured therapy, and family sessions) I help young people express their feelings safely, develop emotional regulation skills, and improve their interactions with others. My goal is to empower them (and you as a parent/guardian) to move beyond survival mode, build resilience, and step into a more connected, confident future.

Jocelyn Jarman
Counselor/Therapist, LMSW
Childhood is extraordinary. It's also, quietly, one of the hardest things a person goes through. Kids and teens are constantly navigating emotions they don't have words for, relationships that keep shifting, pressure that keeps building — and a sense of self that's still being written. When something's wrong, it usually doesn't look like sadness. It looks like acting out. Withdrawing. Refusing. Exploding. At Deserts Bloom Therapy, that behavior is never the whole story — it's an invitation to understand what's underneath. Children work through play, art, and sand tray, because kids speak in imagination before they speak in insight. Teens get a space that belongs entirely to them — to process, to question, to figure out who they actually are. Jocelyn's background in education and foster care gives her a rare, grounded understanding of what safety really means for a young person. Your child doesn't have to carry this alone.

Amy Guido
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Perhaps your child seems to be struggling in ways that have you concerned. As a parent, we often want the change more than the child does, which can be a block to progress. If your child or other family members won't attend, beginning with change in even one family member can change the dynamic for the better. I often work predominantly or only with the parents so that the most motivated person is skilled in ways that help stuck patterns change for the better, leading to a calmer, more connected homelife.

Kelsey Bass
Marriage and Family Therapist, MAS, LMFT
Preteens and teens face unique challenges, from navigating peer pressure and academic stress to exploring their identities and managing family dynamics. I strive to provide a safe and supportive space for young individuals to express their feelings, build self-esteem, and develop healthy coping skills. By establishing a strong therapeutic relationship, we can address issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and emotional regulation, empowering preteens and teens to navigate this critical stage of life with confidence and resilience. My goal is to help them understand their emotions, improve their relationships, and thrive during these transformative years.

Child or Adolescent Issues
Claire Karakey
Therapist, LPC, MC
Your child can worry and have anxiety over seemingly simple things or things they may not verbalize, leaving it difficult for you to know what to say or do to help them.
Children have an especially hard time identifying their emotions while trying to navigate through life. Heck, it’s even hard for ME to grasp what I’m sometimes feeling! How can we expect a youngster to know what’s going on and how to deal?
When kids don’t have a context to explore their feelings, they tend to lash out with anger, rage, down in the dirt-hurt, isolation, or other concerning behaviors.
Do you know how often we hear the word “tantrum”?

Mesa is one of the largest suburbs in the United States and part of the greater Phoenix metro, with a significant LDS (Latter-day Saint) community that shapes the social fabric and the therapy landscape — many residents seek therapists who can integrate faith values with evidence-based approaches to anxiety, relationship issues, and family dynamics. The city's car-dependent suburban sprawl and intense summer heat contribute to social isolation, and therapists here frequently address loneliness and the challenges of building genuine community in a dispersed environment. Banner Desert Medical Center provides institutional mental health resources, and many Mesa residents also access care through the broader Phoenix-metro therapy ecosystem. The city's large Latino and Mormon populations both drive demand for culturally specific therapeutic approaches.
