I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health and have worked in behavioral health since 2016, with experience in both community mental health and crisis settings. I work with individuals and couples navigating trauma, relationship challenges, emotional regulation, life transitions, and complex personal experiences.
My approach is collaborative, direct, and compassionate. I draw from Narrative Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Gottman Method couples counseling, along with trauma-informed practices supported by training through the Arizona Trauma Institute and the Southern Arizona Center Against Sexual Assault.
I strive to create a space where clients feel genuinely heard without judgment. I understand that life can include painful, complicated, and deeply personal experiences, and I believe therapy should be a place where those parts of your story can be explored safely and openly.
I am Kathleen Phalen, LCSW, a licensed clinical therapist with over 28 years' experience in mental health care. I believe prioritizing mental health is key to happiness, health, and stability in life. Seeking help can be challenging, and I want to help you feel comfortable starting your work on your healing journey.
Hi, I’m Raven, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker dedicated to supporting individuals as they navigate life’s complexities and move toward healing and growth. I believe in creating a warm, genuine connection where you feel safe, understood, and supported. Through a collaborative and compassionate approach, I work alongside you to help you build insight, foster resilience, and make meaningful changes that enhance your overall well-being and quality of life.
Most of us haven’t made it through life without a few bruises. Sometimes we lose touch with ourselves along the way, shaped by what we’ve been through and the weight of those experiences.
That doesn’t mean anything is wrong with you. It means you adapted. Sometimes beautifully. Sometimes painfully. Often both.
Therapy is a space to slow down, get curious, and gently begin untangling what you’ve been carrying. Together, we can explore your story with compassion, reconnect with who you are beneath old patterns, and move toward a way of living that feels more aligned, grounded, and authentic.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Couples Therapist in Gilbert
Finding couples therapists in Gilbert starts with naming what you and your partner want to work on. Couples therapy, couples counseling, marriage counseling, and relationship counseling can support concerns like communication patterns, recurring conflict, trust after infidelity, major life changes, and parenting disagreements. Not all therapists have the same training in couples work, so look for licensed marriage and family therapists or therapists who list specific couples approaches, such as the Gottman Method or emotionally focused therapy, in their bios.
In a mid-size city like Gilbert, the right match may come down to both fit and logistics. You may want a therapist with an office near home or work, while virtual sessions can make it easier to coordinate care across two schedules. As you compare options for marriage counseling in Gilbert, AZ, review appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether a brief initial consultation is offered. A therapist’s profile can also show how they structure sessions and how they describe working with both partners.
Couples therapy in Gilbert can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs, and Headway helps you check your coverage before you book. You can enter your insurance details, see estimated out-of-pocket costs, and compare therapists who offer couples counseling in Gilbert, AZ. From there, you can review bios, check availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
