Phoenix Center for Experiential Trauma Therapy
Treatment Center, DSW, LCSW, BCD, CGP, FAAETS, TEP
We are a trauma therapy practice specializing in alternatives to traditional talk therapy for PTSD, grief/loss, and addiction. We offer various different treatments including EMDR, IFS, psychodrama, gestalt, expressive arts therapies, and more. The Phoenix Center for Experiential Trauma Therapy is named after the legendary figure of the phoenix that dies and is reborn from its own ashes – it is a symbol of transformation and resilience. The phenomenon of growing after experiencing trauma has been labeled “Post-Traumatic Growth”. While we cannot change the past, we can change how past experiences live within us.
We also offer low-cost options with our graduate interns.

Jennifer Barker
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA ATR-BC LPC
I believe therapy is a collaborative process, and that you are the expert on your own life. My approach is person-centered and trauma-informed, with an emphasis on creating a safe, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard and supported. I strive to meet each person where they are and work alongside you at a pace that feels comfortable and meaningful.

Starlain Saldana
Psychologist, PhD, LP
I bring my relational and authentic self to my identity as a psychologist - wanting you to experience me as both human and professional. I bring curiosity and engagement to our discussions, and will be an active participant in the process of walking alongside you as we explore your life. I am casual in my approach and strive to create a space where you can come to trust me and allow me a window into your whole self.

Alisia Ives at Status Therapy
Counselor/Therapist, MS, LPC
What you want to achieve is our goal. I am attentive and straightforward, as well as caring. In twenty years of practice, I am grateful that many clients have told me that our work together was really helpful. Some return as needed, often for a shorter period when something new comes up they want help to handle.
When we meet, you will tell me a bit about your life, what is causing dis-ease in your life, and how you want your life to be. We will brainstorm together about how you can begin working toward that goal. This means regardless of which treatment modality (therapy style) is used, I am aware and attending to your vocalized goals, your patterns of behavior, your feelings in relationships - including the one with yourself - and much more.
It is true that we are affected by our experiences and upbringing and that may or may not be affecting you in the present. There is much that goes into satisfying daily life: self-discipline, self-awareness, boundaries, how you talk to yourself and others, your relationships, money and work.
I am happy to talk with you on the phone for a few minutes. The cost of an appointment is listed with payment. If you would like to come in and financial circumstances are such that the regular cost makes therapy out of reach, I take on some clients at a lower rate. Please don't hesitate to ask if you are in need this way.

CHRISTIE BAUR PSYCHOTHERAPY
Counselor/Therapist, MS, LPC
Are you an ambitious, high-achieving teen or adult who can’t seem to quiet the relentless inner battles? You push yourself and show up for everyone, but still find yourself caught in spirals of self-doubt and the nagging sense that you’re never quite good enough. The racing thoughts and constant pressure to hold it all together are exhausting, and you’re tired of anxiety stealing yet another moment of your life?
I get it—I’ve been there.
If you’re ready to slow your thoughts, feel grounded and confident, and finally quiet the noise, I’m here to help you get there.
My goal is to provide a protected, collaborative space—one where you can exhale, explore, and work through things at a pace that feels right for you. You can bring your whole self—your challenges, questions, and hopes—and know you’ll be met with curiosity, compassion, and respect. Therapy with me isn’t about judgment or “fixing” anyone—you don’t need to be fixed—it’s about building insight, practical tools, and confidence so you can live a fuller, freer life. Together, we’ll navigate anxiety, self-doubt, life transitions, and more, using evidence-based strategies with empathy and support—so you can feel empowered, resilient, and connected to yourself.
