Amy Guido
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Being in relationship with others can uncover areas of strength as well as struggle. If you grew up in a family that didn't do much self reflection, perspective taking, emotion coaching or repair making, you may feel at a bit of a loss with how to navigate relationship struggles in helpful ways.
Perhaps you've vented to friends and family to reduce the tension of the latest disagreement. For most of us though, that doesn't get us the perspective and skills necessary to get unstuck or moving forward more productively. I help people through targeted feedback and support to gain greater relational satisfaction and results. Even if your partner or child won't attend, sometimes the power of one can make a huge difference.
Perhaps today is a good day to take a risk and reach out to see if the change you seek is more attainable than you think. I bring a wholistic, curious, light-hearted, real and down to earth approach that takes into account your unique needs and goals.
If you're ready to try something new and would like support please reach out for help. While I don't accept insurance, I do have current openings. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Ema Grant
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS LPC
So, you're looking to start therapy? You've probably held it all together for a long time, and finally reached a breaking point. Maybe you're struggling to perform at work, your relationships are really tense, friendships feel empty and shallow, or you're not able to enjoy the things you used to. It’s time to deal with that. You don't have to be miserable, and you don't have to keep hitting dead-ends trying to get what you want. Therapy can help you figure out what's not working, and learn what actually does work. You can have fulfilling relationships and a sense of meaning and purpose, you just have to be willing to show up.

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.

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.

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.
