Michelle Rosenbalm - Kaleidoscope Counseling & Wellness
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
I believe therapy should be a space where you feel safe, heard, and truly understood. Reaching out isn't always easy, and I respect the courage it takes to begin. My style is warm, genuine, and collaborative. I create a space where you can show up as you are - without judgement, and better understand yourself, your patterns, and what you need to feel more grounded and fulfilled. I believe the relationship we build is what makes therapy meaningful. My goal is for you to feel supported, comfortable, and able to grow at your own pace.

Dr. Janelle Louis
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, ND, PMHNP-BC
Are you or your child struggling with anxiety, mood swings, depression, or lingering effects of past trauma—even though you’ve tried traditional treatment and it just hasn’t been enough? I'm Dr. Janelle Louis, and I use a unique combination of holistic interventions, medication management, and psychotherapy to help children and adults with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, or a history of traumatic experiences find lasting emotional wellness. As both a licensed naturopathic doctor (Vermont) and a psychiatric nurse practitioner (Arizona, Washington state), I bring a unique, integrative perspective to psychiatric and medical healthcare. My background includes experience supporting individuals with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, hormonal mental health disorders, autoimmune and metabolic conditions that affect mental health, and trauma-related concerns. With a foundation in holistic, root-cause medicine and hands-on experience in emergency and inpatient behavioral health settings, I provide compassionate, evidence-based psychiatric and medical care that respects my patients’ values, while addressing the full complexity of their needs. I blend evidence-based therapy—including CBT and trauma-informed approaches—with thoughtful medication management and holistic interventions to help children, teens, and adults live their healthiest and best lives.

Jason Holland
Psychologist, Ph.D.
If you have been carrying a lot on your own, therapy can be a place to slow things down, get clear about what is happening, and start moving forward in a way that feels real and meaningful. I am a licensed clinical psychologist with over 20 years of experience, and my work has included clinical practice, teaching, and published scholarship on trauma, grief, and life transitions. I bring that depth into sessions in a practical, down-to-earth way, blending evidence-based tools with thoughtful work around meaning, patterns, and direction. If you are facing stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, or a major life change and want support that is skilled and personal, I would be glad to connect.

Kourtney Bennett
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Therapy can offer a space to better understand yourself and the experiences that have shaped you. I help adults make sense of trauma, neurodivergence, burnout, identity, and life transitions by understanding their experiences within the context of their relationships, environments, and the systems they have navigated. Together, we'll build practical skills, deepen self-understanding, and create meaningful, lasting change in a compassionate, collaborative space.

Tucson's large Hispanic population — spanning both sides of the US-Mexico border — and its position as a university city anchored by the University of Arizona together define the city's therapy landscape. Bilingual Spanish-English therapists are in consistent demand, and therapists experienced with border-crossing trauma, immigration stress, and bicultural identity serve an important clinical role. The city's proximity to the Tohono O'odham Nation and other tribal communities creates demand for therapists trained in Indigenous trauma, historical loss, and culturally grounded care. Banner — University Medical Center Tucson provides institutional mental health resources alongside a growing private practice community serving the Foothills, midtown, and the university corridor.
