Is this the right thing for me?

Most people who come to us are not in crisis. They are tired. Something has been going on for a while, a few months or a few years, and it has started showing up in how they sleep, how they work, and how they are with the people they love.

You might be here because:
  • You have been anxious long enough that it feels like your normal
  • Something happened and you have not been the same since
  • You are going through a big change, a move, a loss, a divorce, a new job
  • You keep having the same fight, or the same thought, and cannot get out of it
  • Someone who cares about you suggested it

You do not need a diagnosis to start. You do not need to know what to call it. You need an hour.

You can read more about anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, OCD, grief and postpartum changes on our conditions pages.

Not sure whether to start with therapy or with a psychiatric evaluation? Say so when we call you back and we will help you choose. Many people do both.

What a session is actually like

Sixty minutes, in a private room at our Tempe office or by video from anywhere in Arizona.

A therapy room at PATH Health Services in Tempe: two leather armchairs and a small sofa around a low table, with a window along one wall

The first session is mostly you talking and your therapist listening. They will ask what brought you in, what you have already tried, and what you would want to be different. By the end you will have a sense of whether the two of you fit. If you do not, we will help you find someone who does. That happens, and it is not a failure.

After that, most people come weekly at first and less often as things settle.

How we work

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

Working with the thoughts that show up before a feeling does, and testing whether they hold.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy

Practical skills for when emotion arrives faster than you can think.

Trauma-informed therapy

Going at your pace, with nothing approached before you are ready for it.

Couples therapy

Both people in the room, working on the pattern rather than on who is right. See couples therapy

Solution-Focused Therapy

Starting from what already works and doing more of it.

There is no house method that everyone gets. Your therapist will talk with you about what is likely to help, and change course if it is not working.

See the insurance plans we accept →

Other insurance

You pay our rate and we give you a superbill, a detailed receipt, to send to your plan. Your plan may pay you back for part of it. We check your out-of-network benefits with you when we call you back. How out-of-network benefits work

Good Faith Estimate

If you are paying yourself or using out-of-network benefits, you will receive a written Good Faith Estimate of what your care will cost before your first appointment. That is your right under federal law.

Cancellations

We ask for at least 24 hours' notice to cancel or reschedule. For an individual or couples appointment, cancelling with less than 24 hours' notice is a $50 fee, and not showing up at all is a $100 fee. For group, the fee is $40. You also get a 15-minute grace period: if you have not arrived or joined by then, your clinician may mark it a no-show. Emergencies and genuinely unusual circumstances are handled case by case.

Getting started

Request an appointment online or call (480) 637-0295. We can often see you as soon as tomorrow.

We call you back. Within the hour during office hours. We find you the right provider and tell you what it will cost.

Your first session. As soon as the next day after that call.

Questions people ask

Do I need a referral?

No, with one exception: active-duty service members need a referral from their primary care manager, the military doctor in charge of their care. Everyone else can book directly. See the insurance plans we accept →

Is therapy the same as counseling?

Yes. People use the two words for the same thing. Whether you call it therapy or counseling, it is a 60-minute appointment with a licensed clinician.

Can I talk to someone before I book a session?

Yes. Request an appointment and we will call you within the hour during office hours (Monday to Saturday, 9 AM to 5 PM). We will answer your questions about care and cost, and you decide from there. You can also call (480) 637-0295.

What if I do not know what is wrong?

That is the most common reason people come. Working it out is part of therapy, not something you do beforehand.

How long will I be in therapy?

It depends. Some people come for a few months around one specific thing. Others stay longer. You decide, and you can stop whenever you want.

Is it confidential?

Yes. What you say stays between you and your therapist, with narrow legal exceptions your therapist will explain in the first session.

Can I do this by video?

Yes, anywhere in Arizona, subject to clinical appropriateness. You can also be seen in person at our Tempe office, and you can switch between the two as it suits you.

What if I do not like my therapist?

Tell us. Fit matters more than almost anything else, and if it is not right we will help you find someone who suits you better, including outside this practice. Nobody takes it personally.

Do you prescribe medication?

Therapy and medication are separate services. If medication might help, we can arrange a psychiatric evaluation.

What if I need to cancel?

Give us at least 24 hours' notice. The full policy, including the late fee and the grace period, is under What it costs above.

Is this the same as psychological testing?

No. Testing is a separate and much longer process. We do not offer formal psychological testing. If testing would help your care, your clinician will refer you to a licensed psychologist and coordinate with them.

Booking does not commit you to a course of anything.
