Sandplay Therapists in Phoenix, AZ

Lifeline is a team of counselors/therapists with the education and experience to help with most any issue that can bring a person to counseling. We offer a wide variety of programs and approaches that are designed for you. With our large team of providers we are able to find a good fit for you.

If you are here, it’s probably because something’s just not right - you're feeling anxious, depressed or having problems with relationships, school, or work. If you are feeling stuck or disconnected from your relationship with others or yourself, you are in the right place to begin healing. I provide support, accountability, and specific tools to navigate difficult situations. I am passionate about helping teens and adults manage difficult emotions, process relationship stressors, and overcome trauma. I have current availability for in person or online therapy and would love to chat with you to see if working together feels like it could be a good fit.

At Arroyo Psychological Services, we believe that therapy is a collaborative journey built on trust, respect, and genuine human connection. We are a team of compassionate clinicians dedicated to creating a safe and supportive environment where individuals, couples, and families can explore challenges, build resilience, and discover meaningful growth. Our approach is rooted in empathy and evidence-based practice. We meet each client where they are—honoring their unique experiences, values, and goals—while helping them develop the tools and insight needed to create lasting change. Whether addressing anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, life transitions, or personal development, we aim to guide our clients toward greater clarity, balance, and well-being. We take pride in being a diverse and collaborative team united by a shared mission: to make high-quality mental health care accessible, personalized, and grounded in authentic connection. At Arroyo Psychological Services, we don’t just provide therapy—we partner with our clients in creating meaningful, lasting transformation.

I'm Sheana, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a Certified Functional Medicine and Trauma Specialist. I have experience working with children, teens, and their families, as well as adults seeking connection, healing, and hope. Whether you're ready to address a history of trauma or want to manage current stressors, I offer a safe space to work toward your goals. I believe in the integration of mental, physical, and social health, and my approach to your care will be personalized, well-rounded, and responsive to your needs.

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.
