Hi, I’m Bianca Chavez, a Licensed Professional Counselor and founder of Untamed Rose Therapy. I have over 10 years of experience in community mental health, intensive outpatient therapy, and group practice. I currently provide virtual therapy for adults throughout Arizona.

I’ve had the opportunity to work with people from many different backgrounds and through a wide range of life experiences. I’ve worked with adults facing anxiety, relationship challenges, major life changes, and the everyday pressures that can make it difficult to feel like yourself. These experiences have shaped how I see therapy and the importance of meeting each person as an individual.

I’m also someone who believes therapy doesn’t have to be overly formal or intimidating. You don’t need to have everything figured out or know exactly where to start. Sometimes knowing that you want something to feel different is enough.

Sessions are available in English and Spanish.

Si te sientes más cómodo/a hablando en español, este puede ser un espacio para hablar de tu vida, tus experiencias y lo que necesitas con respeto por tu cultura, tus valores y tu historia.

Julie A. Armstrong

Julie A. Armstrong

Therapist

Virtual • Arizona


I have extensive experience working with families—including both birth and foster families—involved in DCS care, as well as individuals navigating substance use and mental health challenges such as depression, anxiety, and grief. Through this work, I have supported clients in managing complex family dynamics, coping with loss and transition, and building skills to support long-term stability and well-being.

Most recently, I worked in a primary care setting, where I gained a deeper understanding of the connection between physical and mental health. This experience has strengthened my awareness of how chronic health conditions can impact emotional well-being, stress levels, and overall quality of life. I integrate this perspective into my work, helping clients address both the emotional and practical aspects of living with ongoing health challenges.

I'm Anissa, a Board Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner specializing in the evaluation and treatment of ADHD and other co-existing conditions.

When you work with me you get care that is calm, attentive, and centered on you.

Who I Work With:

I support individuals who are struggling with poor performance at work/school, anxious thoughts, panic attacks, depressed mood, occupational burnout, and other related conditions.

You're in the right place if:

✓ You're constantly overwhelmed or stressed about upcoming events or tasks needing to be completed

✓ You've been working harder to keep up but you feel like you're failing and burning out

✓ You suspect you have ADHD and need an evaluation, or you've been told you don't have ADHD and would like a second opinion

✓ You need help getting school or workplace accommodations or a leave of absence due to mental stress

✓ Past providers rushed you or didn't listen to your concerns

Therapist

Virtual • Arizona


Hi there—I’m so glad you’re here. Life has thrown me my share of curveballs: childhood trauma, family struggles with addiction, deep losses, and the constant upheaval of moves and changing homes. Those experiences taught me what it feels like to question your worth—and how powerful it is to reclaim it.

Since 2022, I’ve been walking alongside people who are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, or simply trying to make sense of being human in a complicated world. As an EMDR-certified and EFT-trained therapist, I love helping clients uncover the roots of their pain and build the skills to heal and thrive. My approach is trauma-informed, attachment-focused, and always centered on you—your story, your goals, your pace.

I work with teens and adults specializing in complex PTSD, anxiety, depression, and other trauma related mental health issues. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or just curious about what therapy might offer, I’m here to help you reconnect with your strengths and move toward the life you want—with compassion, curiosity, and practical tools for lasting change.
