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.
What a session is actually like
Sixty minutes, in a private room at our Tempe office or by video from anywhere in Arizona.
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.

What it costs
Individual therapy
Per 60-minute session. We confirm your exact rate on the call.$75 to $150Group therapy
Per session.$40Reduced-rate session
Availability varies.$75Sliding scale
We offer sliding-scale rates for patients experiencing financial hardship. Eligibility and the reduced rate are worked out case by case, based on your circumstances. Call and ask; you do not need to explain yourself in writing first.
Commercial insurance
We are not in network with commercial insurance plans. You can pay yourself at the rates above, and we provide a superbill on request, which you may submit to your insurer for possible out-of-network reimbursement. Whether you are reimbursed, and how much, depends on your own benefits and is not guaranteed.
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. If you are paying yourself, cancelling with less than 24 hours' notice, or not showing up at all, is a $100 fee for an individual or couples appointment ($75 if that is your session rate), or $40 for a group session. 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
1Request an appointment online, or call. It takes a few minutes.
2A short phone call within one business day. We find you the right provider and tell you what it will cost.
3Your first session. Usually within 3 to 5 business days of that call.
Questions people ask
Do I need a referral?
No. You can book directly.
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.
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.
Booking does not commit you to a course of anything.
Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm · Saturday, 9am to 2pm
