Jonathan Vela

Jonathan Vela

Therapist

Virtual • Arizona


My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and practical. I pull from cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to help you understand patterns in your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, but I also lean into a humanistic style, meaning I see you as a whole person, not just a diagnosis or a set of symptoms.

I believe therapy should feel like a safe, judgment-free space where you can show up as you are. Whether we’re exploring your relationships, working through anxiety or depression, or identifying what really matters to you, my goal is to support your growth with curiosity, care, and clarity.

I also value realness, I’ll challenge you when it’s helpful, offer insight when you're stuck, and celebrate the progress you might overlook. You're the expert on your life; I’m here to help you reconnect with that truth and build the kind of change that lasts.

Paulette Winsor

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Arizona


I bring warmth and genuine curiosity to every session. My work centers on helping people navigate anxiety, depression, and the lasting effects of trauma — and I believe that healing happens best when you feel truly heard. I take time to understand what matters most to you before we ever talk about a treatment plan, because good care has to fit your life, not just your diagnosis. My approach is collaborative: we figure things out together. I want you to leave each session feeling more capable, not more dependent on me. If you are ready to feel like yourself again, I am here to help you get there.
