Grief counselors and therapists in Goodyear, AZ

I am ready to listen and to help you in any way I can. I have helped many people reduce anxiety and depression and I would like to help you as well. I have worked with college students, new moms, men, people dealing with work/life balance, grief and loss and older adults who are going through various issues such as struggles with their adult children and health issues. Let's turn some of those tears into laughter. Let's talk.

I want you to feel like an active partner in your care from day one. My work centers on anxiety, depression, and addiction, and I bring a warm, curious approach to your day to day life before we talk about a plan. Good care happens when we build it together, so you always have a voice in your treatment. Whether something feels newly off or you have managed a diagnosis for years, my goal is to meet you where you are and help you feel more like yourself. I explain the reasoning behind recommendations so it never feels like guesswork, and I want our work to feel collaborative and paced to what helps you.

Hello, It’s My Pleasure to Connect with You! As a licensed clinical social worker, my approach is to meet clients where they are. I believe that each individual possesses the resources necessary to address their challenges, and my goal is to collaborate with clients as they explore and utilize their own strengths to navigate life's difficulties. I have 15 years of experience in community mental health, hold a master’s degree from Arizona State University, and am licensed through the Arizona Board of Behavioral Health Examiners.

Are you ready to be happy, content and in love with yourself? I am here to help you achieve your goals as a Licensed Professional Counselor. I have a bachelors degree in Kinesiology, of which is the study of human movement (sports medicine) from the University of Washington. I also have a Masters degree in Psychology from Antioch University Seattle, WA. My additional credentials include the following: certified clinical supervisor, minority mental health specialist, and certified grief recovery counselor. I’m passionate about providing quality mental health care to my clients.

Since many clients feel a sense of "disloyalty" when seeking help for family issues, include a line like: "Seeking support isn't about being 'disloyal'—it's about being healthy." Do you feel like you’re "managing" your parent instead of having a relationship with them? Body: For many adult children of narcissistic parents, every phone call feels like a tactical mission. You’re constantly scanning for "mood shifts," choosing your words with extreme caution, and dealing with a hangover of guilt long after the conversation ends. It’s exhausting to be the only one trying to keep the peace. I help clients move out of "survival mode" and into a place of emotional autonomy.

My name is Janet VanScoyk, I studied at the University of Wyoming where I graduated with my master's in social work. Soon after I graduated, we moved to Arizona, and I have been practicing in the Gila Valley for the past 10 years.

Taking the first step toward better mental health is an act of courage, and I am here to support you every step of the way. As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I am committed to providing compassionate, personalized care that honors your unique story, background, and lived experiences.

My approach is collaborative and patient-centered. I take the time to truly understand who you are — your strengths, your challenges, and your goals — so that together we can build a care plan that is meaningful and effective for your life. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is the foundation of good outcomes, and I am dedicated to creating a space where you feel safe, respected, and genuinely heard.

I have over 36 years of clinical experience working with a wide variety of clinical disorders. I offer services to a multitude of client populations. I also conduct individual, couples and family therapy sessions.

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.
