Lupe Macias-Hidalgo
Counselor/Therapist, License Associate Counselor, (LAC)
As a bilingual therapist, I am committed to creating a safe, affirming space where clients can explore their identities, heal from past experiences, and reconnect with their sense of worth. I believe healing begins in spaces where we feel seen, heard, and validated. My work is grounded in trauma‑informed care, cultural humility, and a deep respect for each person’s lived story. I support clients in navigating identity development, family dynamics, neurodivergence, and gender‑affirming journeys with compassion and steadiness. My intention is to meet clients exactly where they are and walk alongside them as they build clarity, confidence, and emotional resilience.

Urim Recovery, LLC
Therapist, Certified Trauma Therapist, LCSW
My approach to healing is client-centered through an attachment-based perspective to help clients attain inner calm and a sense of control. I offer supportive counseling with a keen eye for pinpointing your self-defeating patterns, strengths and solutions. What's unique about my approach is my emphasis on in-between session support and activity that empowers individuals to implement what they learn in sessions in practical ways that address their real life stuck points and triggers.
The aim is that you grow in resiliency and confidence to attain welcomed changes in your life. You are wired for healing and connection, and my job is to help you experience this. Key characteristics of my style include being genuine and direct with an emphasis on helping clients find purpose and emotional stability.

Kathleen Field
Therapist, LAC
What drives me in this work is both personal and professional. My own life experiences, and the meaningful relationships I’ve built along the way, have greatly shaped how I show up as a counselor. I’m inspired daily by the courage I see in my clients—their ability to overcome obstacles, heal from trauma, and reconnect with a sense of purpose. That transformation is what motivates me to do this work with care, dedication, and hope. I believe that we aren’t meant to navigate life’s hardest seasons alone. Whether you’re a young adult struggling with identity, purpose, or relationships—or a parent trying to break generational patterns while raising a family—therapy can be a powerful place for healing. I work with motivated individuals and families who want to create healthier patterns and more fulfilling relationships. Many of my clients are navigating low self-worth, recovering from abusive relationships, or experiencing the transitions of pregnancy, postpartum, and parenting.

Kelsi McMartin
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
My clients often say.. "you nailed it!" when I offer my sense of things. Maybe its my 20 plus years in the field, maybe its pattern recognition, or maybe its intuition... hard to say. I have a way of getting to the heart of things with my clients. In these days of so much outside noise, it can be hard to tune in to what's really important, what's really needed. I help my clients connect with this and with the unlived parts of themselves.

Phoenix's extreme summer heat and sprawling, car-dependent geography contribute to social isolation and depression, with many residents spending months in largely indoor environments with limited organic social contact. The city has grown rapidly through domestic migration, and therapists frequently work with the disconnection and loneliness that can accompany life in a place where many people lack long-established roots and community ties. Phoenix has a significant veteran population, and therapists specializing in military trauma, PTSD, and veteran family concerns are well represented. Banner Health and Dignity Health provide major institutional mental health resources, with a large private practice community serving Scottsdale, Tempe, and the East Valley.
