Narrative
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.

Narrative
Matthew Brace
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Wouldn’t it be helpful if the communication in your relationship created closeness rather than distance? You care deeply about your partner but are feeling stuck on how to change. We are often trying to figure out how to improve our relationships as we go, and certainly get frustrated when attempts fall short. This frustration can lead to wondering how your relationship got to a point where feeling disconnected is common. There are reasons for these issues, and we will uncover them and implement solutions throughout our sessions together.

Camille Larsen
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, LAC
If you are ready to get to, and resolve core, underlying issues, I may be a great fit. I bring a wealth of internal resources to help you. I engage in the therapy process and actively guide you in sessions to help advance every opportunity for change that we encounter. Together, we'll keep your goals close as we work to shift the internal blocks that keep you from what you want most.
In addition to being a Licensed Professional Counselor, I am also a Licensed Addiction Counselor, having treated addiction for over a decade in residential, group, and private, individual settings. My work is discrete and non-shaming. If you need completing DUI therapy requirements, contact me about the program I use that satisfies most state's requirements.

Narrative
Sumer Statler Aeed
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
I am a psychologist that is passionate about all of us living the fully awake and vibrant lives we are meant to. Sometimes this involves healing from the past, other times it means working towards visioning and creating the future, oftentimes both. It generally involves some insight but also a good dose of experiential tools and learning about your central nervous system and how to both understand and work with it, what we call both top down and bottom up tools. Ready for real change and willing to do the work? (yep it is work but well worth it) Let's go.

Colin Pickles
Psychologist, PsyD
I specialize in the treatment of relationship concerns, communication issues, anxiety, and depression, and the LGBTQ+ community. My goal is not just to help you feel better, but to better understand how your history and internal narratives guide your feelings and behavior. In doing so, we can find ways to adjust these narratives and can wind down sessions with applied idea to practice so that you leave with a sense of direction and confidence.

Narrative
Brie Chandler
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
You may be feeling lost, anxious, and don't know why everything that used to work to feel better isn't now. Maybe it feels like your relationships are suffering, like you've never even had a healthy one, or could never share your desires with your partner or partners. Every little thing added to your plate feels so overwhelming and it might be easier just to shut down or hide parts of yourself. You might worry you're "too much" or feel like you can't do anything right. You tell yourself "no one could ever understand or accept me," or "everyone has childhood stuff, I'm fine," ...right? One thing you’re sure of is you want to feel better, safe, and like you have direction. You’re ready to have quality relationships and leave behind old patterns. Most of all, you’re ready to feel good enough and embrace all parts of your identity.

Narrative
Claire Karakey
Therapist, LPC, MC
I'm not good enough, I can't stand this, I can't trust anyone, I should have known better! Do you ever notice yourself living with similar shame? Truth is, most of us do and as we get older, it is hard to understand that we are still operating in our relationships, jobs and daily lives with these messages. Our goal in therapy is to provide an efficient treatment plan to help clear out some of these false and dysfunctional messages and help you start seeing you're worth.
We work with people from different walks of life and we're committed to providing a compassionate and creative approach to therapy. We enjoy working with children and adults individually as well as within group, family and couple settings. My specialities lie in treating anxiety (performance anxiety, OCD, PTSD) as well as depression, life transitions, chronic pain/illness, grief/loss, and more. We have extensive training in shame and trauma and understand how these impact people's ability to function in their day-to-day lives.
We offer a strength based, client-centered approach to therapy. Every person's story is special and deserves an individualized approach. In therapy our therapists utilize Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Trauma Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy and Family Systems work.
It takes great courage to find hope. We believe in holding space for clients, hearing your stories and working together to help you live your best life. You are not alone in your journey. You will be met with enthusiasm, support, kindness and an open mind in every session.

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.
