Book a therapist or psychiatrist in Peoria, AZ covered by Cigna

Hi, I'm Amber! If you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from yourself, I'm so glad you've found my profile. I work with adults who are navigating anxiety, depression, chronic illness, codependency, relationship challenges, substance use and addiction, ADHD, family issues, general stress and so much more.

Many of my clients are carrying more than they let on. Maybe anxiety and depression have been feeding each other for a long time, or a chronic illness is wearing you down and your mood is taking the hit. These pieces are more connected than most people realize, and I'll help you see how they fit together. Others come in struggling with life transitions, relationship patterns, self-esteem, or the lingering impact of past experiences. Wherever you're starting, I'm here to meet you in it.

I work with adults navigating relationships, intimacy, identity, and life transitions, with particular expertise in polyamory, ethical non-monogamy (ENM), and Relationship Anarchy. My approach is practical, relational, and liberation-focused. I help clients develop communication skills, emotional regulation, self-awareness, and the confidence to create relationships that reflect their values rather than simply following inherited rules Couples are seen on a private pay basis only.

I help people break free from painful relationship patterns, stop losing themselves to keep the peace, and build the capacity for authentic intimacy. Together, we'll develop the clarity to make intentional choices about how you love, relate, and live. I work affirmingly with LGBTQIA+, ENM, polyamory, relationship anarchy, kink, and sex work.

Reaching out for therapy can feel vulnerable, especially if you've spent years believing you should handle everything on your own. You deserve a space where all parts of you are welcome. If you're ready to begin, I'd be honored to walk alongside you.

I earned my master's degree in Social Work 29 years ago. Over the course of my career I have enjoyed working with girls and women of all ages. I enjoy supporting girls and women who are navigating middle school, high school, college, relationships, post-partum period, motherhood, divorce, menopause, and becoming empty nesters. I love seeing my clients begin therapy with stress, anxiety, OCD, depression, grief and loss, or trauma then graduate from therapy in a much better place. I believe that you can thrive no matter your age and no matter your circumstances. I have less experience helping transgender women but I really enjoy that work as well. I consider myself a LGBTQIA+ ally.

Counseling and Social Work have been my vocation for more than 40 years. Areas of expertise include Grief, Depression, Anxiety and Trauma. I have worked within Mental Health, Medical, and Hospice environments as well as private practice. I am warm, supportive, and respectful and build upon one's strengths in the therapeutic process. I am a strong believer in our ability to cope and adapt to change and have witnessed over and over again the magnitude of human resiliency.

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.

Welcome, My name is Hazel and I’m a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with six years of nursing experience across both medical and psychiatric settings. I work with anxiety, depression, ADHD, PTSD, mood disorders, schizophrenia and psychosis, and substance use disorders, and I’m proud to provide LGBTQ+ affirming care. I was born in the Philippines, where mental health was often disregarded or something people were expected to keep to themselves, and that experience shaped my passion for helping break cycles of intergenerational trauma and silence around mental health. I want you to feel safe being your whole self, heard without judgment, and supported in creating a healthier path forward.
