Book a therapist or psychiatrist in Flagstaff, AZ covered by Aetna

I have been working in mental health for 11 years. I specialize in transitions in life, anxiety, and perfectionism.

Therapy is journey towards our better selves. Let me help you on this journey! With over 25 years of experience in Vocational Rehabilitation Counseling, identifying barriers and difficulties in employment is my specialty, but over the past few years I have expanded my modalities and practice to include working in therapeutic modalities with individuals and couples to help them address their issues with interpersonal communication and building on a strong foundation. I have also worked with those dealing with anger management, depressive and anxiety disorders, individuals on the Autism Spectrum, and those struggling with addictions.

I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who can prescribe psychiatric/mental health medications, and psychotherapy.

I became a PMHNP in 2022 after working as a registered nurse for 14 years in rural and urban settings in Arizona, Nevada, and Montana in areas of nursing including medical/surgical, emergency department, family practice, and in-patient and out patient psychiatry.

Therapy often begins after years of doing everything you can to keep going, even when daily life has started to feel overwhelming. My work goes beyond symptom relief, helping clients reconnect with their minds and bodies, understand what they've been carrying, and build something more sustainable than survival. Healing, I've learned, is something we cultivate together — not something we rush.

My approach is evidence-based and attends to the whole person. EMDR is often where I begin with clients whose trauma still reverberates through daily life — in their relationships, their nervous system, and the patterns that don't respond to insight alone. I draw on DBT and mindfulness to build practical skills for emotional steadiness, and I'm especially passionate about helping clients understand the why behind what they feel. Knowledge, I believe, turns confusion into clarity and shame into self-compassion.

When clients want to bring their spirituality into the room, I welcome it without agenda. Faith and a sense of something larger than ourselves can be powerful tools for self-discovery, and I honor all belief systems with genuine respect.

My style is warm, direct, and transparent. I work with people navigating ADHD, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, depression, and the persistent effects of trauma — helping them slow down, find steadiness, and reconnect with themselves at a level that actually shifts things.

Clients often describe me as real — someone who brings equal parts expertise and humanity into the room. I especially love working with women, teens, and neurodivergent adults learning to see their sensitivity and intensity as strengths rather than shortcomings. That reframe alone can change everything.

I am a seasoned professional who specializes in working with highly sensitive people. My varied training including Gestalt therapy, EMDR, Life Coaching and Hypnotherapy, Emotional Freedom Technique and Spiritual Response Therapy enables me to help you go deep, get to the root of an issue, and create satisfying resolutions.

I hold a Master's Degree in Counseling from Southwestern College in Santa Fe, New Mexico where a transpersonal approach was fostered, that is, taking into account the psychological as well as the spiritual aspects of our clients. I also studied at the Coaches Training Institute, EMDRIA for EMDR training, The Gestalt Institute of Santa Fe, the Hypnotherapy Academy of America in Albuquerque NM, and the Spiritual Response Association. I am also a life-long meditator and spiritual practitioner. In addition to working as a therapist for the last 21 years, I have been a marketing director, a psychic and a life coach.

Many of my clients are healers, therapists, teachers, artists, psychics and spiritual practitioners. They are seeking someone who can understand their rich inner world as well as the challenges of their outer world. They are seeking a therapist who can track intuitively and work with them respectfully to release unwanted limiting beliefs and traumas so that they can truly shine and achieve their goals.

I am currently writing a book called, "The Misfit Mystic" which addresses the issue of struggling to fit into society with psychic and spiritual sensibilities.

Erin Grover worked as the Clinical Director of WinGate Wilderness.

I'm Dean, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Arizona with clinical experience across a variety mental health, substance use, and related behaviors. I'm based near Sedona and offer telehealth sessions, making it easy to connect from wherever you are in the state. I'm currently welcoming new clients who are ready to start working toward their mental health goals in a flexible, low-pressure setting.

I believe one of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story. I want to help you achieve whatever solutions and life changes you are looking for and enjoy the process along the way. It does not have to be all bad. There are reasons why you think a certain way, do not have control over emotions or repeat mistakes. Let us get to the bottom of those reasons.

I want you to find meaning/purpose in school, work, family and friendships. Give yourself the opportunity to feel confident living life; knowing you have the awareness and skills to adjust. As a parent, I want you to be free from the pain of worrying, knowing that someone is there to help your child work through their depression/anger and anxiety/stress.

During the 15+ years, I have helped children, adolescents and young adults find healing and understanding in distressed times; a good deal of my career has focused on the needs of this unique age group specifically specializing in mood disorders, depression, anxiety-related issues, and social skill difficulties.
