I have found my own personal healing to be intimately connected to nature, and it is here that I believe that we can all begin to rediscover our intrinsic humanity and let go of those things that distract us from our higher selves. In my spare time, I work as an outdoor educator and manage my own private practice and guide Outdoor Retreats

I believe it is helpful and important to translate what is discussed in session and in telehealth meetings into lived experience and real change.

Therapist

Virtual • Arizona


I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who earned my Master of Social Work from Brigham Young University. I am the owner of Salt River Counseling, where I provide compassionate, evidence-based therapy to individuals, couples, families, and children. Over the past decade, I have worked in a variety of behavioral health settings, including residential treatment, outpatient therapy, school social work, substance use treatment, and clinical leadership. My experience has included serving as a Clinical Director, Clinical Supervisor, Family Therapist, and Admissions Director, allowing me to support clients with a wide range of mental health needs while also mentoring other clinicians and developing trauma-informed programs.

My passion is helping children, teens, adults, couples, and families navigate life's challenges with compassion and practical support. I specialize in treating trauma, anxiety, depression, ADHD, addiction, family conflict, parenting concerns, and life transitions. My approach is collaborative and individualized, drawing from evidence-based therapies including CBT, DBT, ACT, EMDR, Motivational Interviewing, and attachment-based, trauma-informed care. My goal is to create a safe, supportive environment where clients feel understood, build on their strengths, and develop the skills needed to create lasting change. I also don't want therapy to feel stale or robotic. I will meet you where you are at, and incorporate creative techniques to meet your style.

Lakesha Duncan

Lakesha Duncan

Therapist

Virtual • Phoenix, AZ


I am Lakesha Duncan, a Licensed Professional Counselor who believes that people are more than their diagnoses, addictions, past experiences, or mistakes. My purpose is to provide a safe and compassionate space where clients feel heard, respected, and supported as they work toward healing, stability, and a renewed sense of purpose.

I earned a Master’s degree in Addiction Counseling and a Master’s degree in Professional Counseling from Grand Canyon University. My education and professional background have prepared me to address both mental health and substance-use concerns, including the complex relationship between trauma, emotional distress, life experiences, and addictive behaviors.

I have extensive experience providing counseling, clinical leadership, and behavioral health services in outpatient, residential, and community-based settings. I work primarily with adults, including individuals with co-occurring mental health and substance-use disorders.

My areas of experience include trauma, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, addiction and recovery, relapse concerns, anger, relationship and family difficulties, low self-worth, and major life transitions. I also support individuals rebuilding their lives after hospitalization, incarceration, homelessness, family separation, or other significant disruptions.

I understand that beginning counseling can feel uncomfortable, especially when you have experienced loss, disappointment, judgment, or difficulty trusting others. My counseling style is warm, down-to-earth, culturally responsive, honest, and nonjudgmental. I will meet you where you are while encouraging you to recognize your strengths and move toward the life you want to create.

I believe you should not have to spend months in therapy before you begin to feel hope. My goal is for you to leave your very first session with some form of relief, a greater understanding of what you’re experiencing, and a clearer path toward healing. I specialize in trauma, attachment, and recovery, and I work with both children and adults of all ages. At the heart of my work is a deeply held belief that trauma does not have to define the rest of your life. Healing is closer than you think.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right addiction counselor for you

Headway makes it easier to find support for overcoming addiction — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Glendale

Finding addiction therapists in Glendale starts with understanding what kind of support fits your needs. Addiction care can include support for alcohol use, drug use, substance use concerns, gambling, and other behavioral patterns. Some therapists use approaches like motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, or harm reduction frameworks. Some people may also work with a prescriber as part of their care team, depending on their needs. As you compare therapists, look for training and listed specialties that match what you want to address.

Glendale offers local access to mental health care, and virtual appointments can expand your options across Arizona when nearby availability is limited. Recovery can involve changes over time, so it helps to find a therapist who describes a clear, non-judgmental approach and experience with substance abuse and counseling. You can also compare appointment times, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading bios can help you understand how each therapist talks about addiction care, communication style, and session structure before you book.

Therapy in Glendale can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower session costs and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before your first appointment. Headway helps you find addiction therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, are accepting new patients, and offer direct booking. You can browse therapists, review bios, compare virtual and in-person options, and book when you are ready.

If you or someone you know is experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms — especially from alcohol or benzodiazepines — talk to a medical provider or seek emergency care before starting outpatient therapy. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction or substance use and is in a crisis, immediately reach out to:

* 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — call or text 988 * SAMHSA National Helpline — 1-800-662-HELP (4357), free, confidential, 24/7 * Crisis Text Line — text HOME to 741741
