Welcome, I am Amanda! You don’t have to wait for a crisis to want something to change. Therapy can be a space to reconnect with yourself, get clarity, and actually feel better, not just survive the day.
I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with over a decade of experience helping people untangle the stress, self-doubt, and the "what now?" moments that come with being human. Whether you're overwhelmed, burnt out, stuck in your own head, or going through a major life shift, you don’t have to figure it out alone.
Diagnosed Late. Understood, Finally. I’m Dr. Stephanie Reynolds, a licensed psychologist with 25 years of experience helping
adults, couples, and families navigate emotional and relational challenges. I specialize in
neurodivergent adults, including those receiving a later-in-life autism or ADHD diagnosis.
My approach is trauma-informed, relational, and individualized, helping clients better
understand themselves, strengthen relationships, and develop practical tools that fit who
they are. My goal is to provide a space where you feel understood, accepted, and
supported.
I’ve provided professional counseling to individuals, couples, and families for over 15 years — helping people navigate relationship struggles, anxiety and trauma, grief and loss, anger and impulsivity, ADHD, parenting challenges, and more. In addition to general mental health care, I specialize in working with adults and couples addressing relational concerns, anxiety, trauma, men’s issues, helping professionals, cultural and spiritual identity, and gender / sexuality.
I provide individual therapy services for adults experiencing general mental health concerns such as depression, anxiety, stress, health issues, relational issues, grief, life transitions, trauma, and/or abuse. My degrees include a BA in Psychology from UCSB, a Masters of Education in Counselor Education from ASU, and a PhD in Counseling Psychology from ASU. I completed an APA-Accredited Doctoral Internship in Psychology and a Postdoctoral Psychology Residency with at UC Davis.
I believe healing happens when you feel truly seen, heard, and accepted exactly as you are. Therapy doesn’t have to feel cold or clinical—it can be genuine, collaborative, and even include moments of laughter along the way.
I earned my Bachelor of Social Work from Western Illinois University and my Master of Social Work from Arizona State University. I’ve been practicing as a master’s-level social worker since 2010 and have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) for the past three years. I’m also certified in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a highly effective, evidence-based therapy that helps people heal from trauma and distressing life experiences.
I'm a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner who supports teens, young adults, and families working through constant worry, big emotions, focus challenges, and the impact of difficult life experiences. Before specializing in psychiatry five years ago, I spent 13 yeas in emergency medicine, where I learned how deeply people need to feel seen and supported during overwhelming moments. That experience shaped my approach today: blending medical expertise with genuine curiosity, compassion, and respect for YOUR story. My goal is to create a space where you feel, safe, understood, and able to explore what you are going through with clarity and confidence.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an LGBTQIA+ Therapist in Glendale
Finding LGBTQIA+ therapists in Glendale starts with choosing someone who offers identity-affirming care. You may want support related to gender identity, sexuality, family relationships, stress, anxiety, depression, or life changes. Look for a therapist whose profile lists experience with LGBTQIA+ populations, affirmative therapy, gender-diverse care, or World Professional Association for Transgender Health training. The right fit goes beyond credentials — a therapist’s bio can show how they talk about identity, respect, and what to expect in sessions.
In a mid-size city like Glendale, local options may give you a mix of in-person and virtual choices, while virtual therapy can expand access to LGBTQ affirming therapy in Glendale and nearby Arizona communities. As you compare therapists, consider appointment availability, whether they offer a free phone consultation, and whether their background or approach matches what you want from care. Provider profiles can also help you spot clear fit signals, such as experience with therapy for gender identity in Glendale, LGBTQ counseling, or support for queer and transgender people.
Therapy in Glendale can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs, and Headway helps make that part clearer before you book. You can enter your insurance details to see estimated out-of-pocket costs, compare LGBTQ friendly therapists in Glendale, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
