Dr. Alisha Desai
Psychologist, PhD
I am a firm believer that we are all capable of change. At the same time, I understand how difficult and scary change can be - even if it's what we want most. My goal is to help others build the confidence to see themselves fully and move through life based on their own inner compass.
My approach is collaborative, practical, and grounded in evidence-based practices. I aim to create a space where you can be honest about what you’re experiencing, without judgment, while developing concrete tools to navigate challenges, build resilience, and live a life that feels more meaningful and aligned with your values.

Desert to Peaks Psychology
Psychologist, Ph.D., LP
Our mission at Desert to Peaks Psychology is to support you through the peaks and valleys of life by providing collaborative, holistic, and evidence-based psychology and counseling services. Our therapists are person-centered, action-oriented, and grounded in authentic connection. We believe growth happens when our clients feel both deeply supported and gently challenged. We focus on creating space to process experiences while simultaneously helping our clients build new perspectives and take practical steps toward lasting change. Our team specializes in supporting adults who appear strong on the outside but are quietly carrying the weight of competing demands, high expectations, self-doubt, stress, burnout, or the persistent feeling that they should be doing more. Our team is well versed in working with anxiety, life transitions, demanding and high-stress careers, disordered eating and body image concerns, relational concerns, depression, and athletes looking for sports psychology services.

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.

Dr Todd Giardina
Psychologist, PhD, Counseling Psychology
Have you felt "stuck" and unable to make that change you so desire? Do you hear from people that you're "not living up to your potential" or "you're so great," but you just don't feel it? Are your relationships plagued by anxiety or distress? These are the things I am expert in managing. I focus largely on work with women, being that I can "speak" the male and female language and navigate relationship issues. I also take a feminist, empowerment focus in our work - we build on your specific strengths, and take into account your objective limitations. Everyone can find happiness, let's find yours, together!
