Amy Guido
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
It can be hard to know how to respond to a child or partner when feeling unsure or uneasy in ways that grow person rather than the anxiety. There are things we do in the short run that comfort, but don't seem to lessen anxiety in the long run.
We'll look at the role of worry collaboratively finding more effective responses that build capabilities over time so you're moving toward who and what matters most to you.

Ben Hedberg
Licensed Professional Counselor, MC, LPC, BCC
Anxiety can feel like constant overthinking, tension, or a sense that something isn’t right—even when things seem fine on the surface. I help men identify the patterns behind their anxiety and develop practical tools to manage it. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and skills-based strategies, we focus on reducing overthinking, improving emotional control, and building confidence in everyday situations.

In our work together, I provide a calm and supportive environment where we can explore what is contributing to your anxiety and develop practical strategies to help you regain a sense of stability and confidence. My goal is to help you feel more grounded, better able to manage stress, and more fully engaged in your life.

Sumer Statler Aeed
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
Fear while a fundamental human healthy response, often in our culture and times become instead something that becomes a stopper instead of a warning system in our lives. Learning to manage and use your central nervous system in ways that serve you, to respond instead of react, allow you to reduce and manage fears and allows them to go back to being a warning system instead of driving your life. We select and try on for you from a combination of CBT, somatic work, breathwork and Central Nervous System work and others. This allows you to have a unique system for you to manage fear and return to a balance of how your body's system is meant to be.

Patricia Fahmy
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC
Anxiety can feel exhausting, especially when it begins to affect your relationships, confidence, and sense of emotional security. You may find yourself overthinking conversations, worrying about how others feel about you, seeking reassurance, struggling with trust, fearing rejection, feeling overwhelmed by conflict, or pulling away when vulnerability feels uncomfortable. While these patterns can be frustrating, they often make sense in the context of past experiences and the ways you've learned to protect yourself. I help clients understand the deeper roots of their anxiety, strengthen emotional regulation, and develop healthier, more secure ways of relating to themselves and others.

Claire Karakey
Therapist, LPC, MC
Fear and anxiety can be paralyzing. In therapy, I work with people to help better explore and identify their fears so they can walk through them. I often utilize EMDR to help "clear" or "neutralize" fears that are stopping people from living their best life. I treat people dealing with all kinds of anxiety such as social, PTSD, OCD, etc.

Scottsdale's affluence and wellness-oriented culture generate consistently high demand for therapy, with a population that generally views mental health care favorably and has the financial means to engage in longer-term work — making it one of the most therapist-dense cities in Arizona. The city's luxury resort industry and reputation as a destination for high-net-worth retirees and second-home owners create a distinctive therapy clientele, with practitioners frequently addressing relationship complexity, identity in retirement, wealth-related stress, and the gap between external success and internal well-being. HonorHealth and Mayo Clinic Phoenix provide institutional mental health resources alongside one of Arizona's most established private practice communities. Scottsdale's significant recovery community — drawn by the concentration of high-end treatment centers in the surrounding Sonoran Desert — also drives substantial demand for therapists specializing in addiction aftercare and dual diagnosis work.
