Mental Health Psychotherapy
FOR FOLKS IN PHOENIX, ARIZONA & THROUGHOUT THE STATE
Psychotherapy is a collaborative, confidential space where you can explore what’s weighing on you—at your own pace, in your own words.
At Dear Self Trauma Therapy, our approach is client‑centered, nonjudgmental, and trauma‑informed. We believe healing happens in relationships that feel safe, respectful, and empowering.
Whether you’re navigating the impacts of trauma, feeling overwhelmed by anxiety or depression, or simply sensing that something needs to change, therapy can help you reconnect with yourself and move forward with greater clarity and resilience.
You do not need to have a clear diagnosis or a single “big” event to benefit from therapy. If something in your life feels stuck, overwhelming, or out of alignment, it’s enough to begin.
What You Can Expect
-
You are the expert on your life. The role of the therapist is to listen deeply, honor your experiences, and work alongside you without pathologizing or rushing your process.
-
Our work is guided by your goals, values, and readiness. Together, we’ll shape therapy to meet your unique needs rather than fitting you into a one‑size‑fits‑all model.
-
Trauma can affect the nervous system, relationships, and sense of self—often in ways that aren’t immediately obvious. We specialize in helping clients gently process traumatic experiences while prioritizing safety, choice, and stabilization.

Our Therapeutic Approach
We draw from evidence‑based and experiential modalities to support whole‑person healing. Our work may include talk therapy, body‑based awareness, and skills that help regulate the nervous system and build resilience. Sessions are collaborative and paced with care, especially when working with trauma.
Above all, we strive to create a therapeutic relationship rooted in trust, curiosity, and compassion—where all parts of you are welcome.
Begin Mental Health Psychotherapy
If you’ve tried therapy before and it didn’t quite feel right, or if you’re new to the process and unsure where to start, we can take the first steps together. I offer an initial consultation to answer questions, discuss your goals, and determine whether we’re a good fit. You deserve care that feels respectful, collaborative, and aligned with your healing journey.
