I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner specializing in care across the lifespan treating clients with ADHD, anxiety, bipolar disorder, depression, OCD, PTSD and sleep disorders. I am committed to delivering high-quality, compassionate care tailored to each patient’s unique needs. I am a proud veteran.
Hi, I’m Dr. Linda Wickens, a doctoral-level therapist and coach who works with individuals navigating stress, life transitions, relationship challenges, and patterns that keep them feeling stuck while preventing forward movement and growth. Many of my clients are high-functioning on the outside but feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or frustrated that change feels harder than it should.
Therapy and coaching with me are never one-size-fits-all. We work collaboratively to create a plan that is specific to you, your goals, and your capacity, adjusting pace and structure as your needs evolve. I focus on helping clients understand their patterns, build emotional awareness, and develop practical skills they can actually use in daily life.
I hold a Doctorate in Social Work and am a fully licensed clinical social worker, with over nine years of experience in the mental health field. My work integrates evidence-based therapy with a coaching-informed lens when appropriate, allowing sessions to be both supportive and goal-oriented while still making space to explore the past and its impact on the present.
Clients often describe my style as warm, direct, and collaborative. As part of my concierge model, clients work directly with me rather than an assistant, and I remain accessible to my clients outside of sessions through secure communication when needed. I believe growth happens through understanding, compassion, and honest conversation, and that progress is most sustainable when care feels personal, intentional, and consistent.
Please Note: I do not provide couples or marriage counseling. I do not treat adolescents under the age of 21. Additionally, I am not able to treat clients who are experiencing active suicidal ideation or self-harm behaviors. If these services are needed, I encourage seeking a provider who specializes in these areas or contacting appropriate crisis resources if immediate support is required.
There's a point where pushing through on your own stops being resilience and starts just being exhausting. I'm Mike, a Licensed Professional Counselor working with adults and seniors navigating anxiety, trauma, panic, depression, and the kind of mood and identity questions that are hard to untangle alone. I'm LGBTQIA+ affirming and actively work with men who are ready to take their mental health seriously. I believe you already have strengths you may not be giving yourself credit for. Clients often describe me as direct, clear, and collaborative.
I am from Lockport, Illinois and have lived in Phoenix AZ for over 25 years. I received my undergrad at Governor's state University and grad degree from Capella university. My specialty is Trauma, but I also work with many other problems. I work with children ages 10 to 18.
Welcome! I am an experienced Licensed Professional Counselor with more than 20 years of experience in mental health and behavioral health settings. My professional background includes working with individual and families, as well as experience in corrections and community-based mental health services. I earned a graduate degree in counseling from Northern Arizona University in 2012 and have been practicing as a Licensed Professional Counselor since 2017. I support adults navigating anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, grief and loss, stress, and life transitions. I provide therapy in both English and Spanish and strive to create a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where clients can feel hears, understood, and comfortable being themselves.
I specialize in addiction, ADHD and depression for all ages. Listening to clients and working together to find the right approach to their situation. I am a very goal oriented person that uses my knowledge and experience to create a treatment plan that motivates and encourages my clients on their mental health journey.

Headway makes it easier to connect with affirming therapists who understand your identity — from finding the right therapist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing an LGBTQIA Therapist in Gilbert
Finding LGBTQIA+ therapists in Gilbert starts with looking for identity-affirming care that matches your needs. A therapist with experience supporting LGBTQIA+ people may list affirmative therapy, gender-diverse experience, or WPATH training in their profile. You may also want support related to identity, anxiety, depression, relationships, family dynamics, or life transitions. Review each therapist’s listed specialties and approach to see whether their training aligns with what you want to focus on in care.
Gilbert has a steady mental health care market, and affirming therapists may vary by location, schedule, and session format. Virtual therapy can expand your options beyond nearby offices while still letting you work with a therapist licensed in Arizona. As you compare therapists, look for availability, whether they offer a free phone consultation, and whether their bio explicitly mentions LGBTQIA+ communities. A profile can also show how a therapist describes their communication style, session structure, and experience with people whose needs are similar to yours.
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 understand what you may pay before booking. Headway helps you find many therapists who accept insurance, are accepting new patients, and offer upfront cost estimates after you enter your insurance details. From there, you can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
