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.

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.

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.

Sliding 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.

AHCCCS

PATH is an enrolled AHCCCS provider. If you are on AHCCCS fee-for-service without a health plan, or you are with the American Indian Health Program, Tribal ALTCS or a Tribal RBHA, we can see you now. If you are in an AHCCCS Complete Care plan, our contract with that particular plan may not be active yet, so we check your plan by name on the intake call and tell you before you book. Bring your AHCCCS ID either way.

Out-of-network

We can 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. Cancelling with less than 24 hours' notice, or not showing up at all, is a $100 fee. 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. Three quick questions, about thirty seconds.

A short phone call. We confirm what you need and match you with a therapist.

Your 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.

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. Breeanna Horton sees clients by video only.

What if I do not like my therapist?

Tell us and we will switch you. Fit matters more than almost anything else here, and 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?

The hardest part is starting.
