Lynda Griffin Bull
Counselor/Therapist, MC, LPC
Depression can make life feel heavy, isolating, and difficult to navigate. You may feel stuck, unmotivated, or disconnected from the people and activities that once mattered to you. In therapy, I provide a safe, compassionate space where we can explore the experiences and patterns contributing to these feelings. Many people discover that unresolved stress, loss, or trauma can play a role in depression. Together we will work toward greater understanding, emotional balance, and renewed hope so that life can begin to feel more manageable and meaningful again.

Claire Karakey
Therapist, LPC, MC
I know you've probably already heard of depression as a "black hole." My job is to climb down there with you to let you know you are not alone. Through skill building, talk therapy and use of EMDR, I will help you to tackle the darkness and find the light.

Ben Hedberg
Licensed Professional Counselor, MC, LPC, BCC
Depression doesn’t always look like sadness—it often shows up as low motivation, irritability, lack of direction, or feeling disconnected. I work with men to understand what’s contributing to these patterns and help them regain structure, purpose, and momentum. Sessions are focused on practical steps, accountability, and building habits that support long-term improvement.

Our approach is compassionate, collaborative, and focused on helping clients move beyond simply “getting through the day.” Together, we work to understand the emotional and behavioral patterns contributing to depression while creating practical, sustainable ways to reconnect with meaning, motivation, and self-worth.

Dr. Amanda Malak
Psychologist, Clinical Psychologist
I specialize in supporting individuals struggling with depression by helping them understand and manage their symptoms. Through evidence-based approaches like CBT, mindfulness, and behavioral activation, I help people challenge negative thought patterns, improve their mood, and develop healthy coping strategies. My goal is to support individuals in finding ways to increase their motivation, reconnect with activities they enjoy, and build a stronger sense of well-being. Referrals for medication management, if desired, are made to local prescribing providers. Treatment resistant depression, although rare, is referred to transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), ketamine therapy, and/or other psychedelic psychotherapy options if locally available.

Samantha Kingma
Marriage and Family Therapist, MS, LMFT
Overthinking, overanalyzing, ruminating, future-tripping, or analysis paralysis—whatever you call it, it can really keep you stuck. If you've been lying awake at night thinking through all the things you said today (or last year), if you've made 8 different to-do lists for the same task, or if you're always running late because it's difficult to organize your thoughts, let's chat. Anxiety, OCD, perfectionism, and burnout can significantly impact the way your brain handles the stress of day-to-day life. But there is hope – you don’t have to stay stuck. I'd love to talk to you about how you can begin to feel like yourself again. It is possible to feel like yourself again, and I'd love to talk to you about how you can get there. I provide specialized support for individuals and couples dealing with anxiety, OCD, trauma, and relationship difficulties. I will work with you to find the patterns in your life that may be causing problems and then collaborate with you to find new options and restorative solutions. You don’t have to walk through this difficulty alone, and I’d be honored to support you as you move toward healing. Visit my website or fill out the contact form to schedule a free phone consultation, and we can chat about what you’re looking for and whether I might be the right fit for you.

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 wellbeing. 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.
