I believe that we all have the capacity for healing within ourselves. I work with clients of all ages. My goal is to instill hope and healing for clients presenting with concerns related to post-traumatic stress, attachment, anxiety, grief/loss, depression, disruptive behaviors, social skills, parenting, and/or relational distress.
I have found my own personal healing to be intimately connected to nature, and it is here that I believe that we can all begin to rediscover our intrinsic humanity and let go of those things that distract us from our higher selves. In my spare time, I work as an outdoor educator and manage my own private practice and guide Outdoor Retreats
I believe it is helpful and important to translate what is discussed in session and in telehealth meetings into lived experience and real change.
I work with individuals experiencing sexual dysfunction (erectile dysfunction, pain during sex, difficulties with orgasm, premature ejaculation, etc), anxiety during sex, low/no desire, desire mismatch in couples, sexual trauma, sexual orientation, sexual shame, gender identity, pornography or sex “addiction,” and LGBTQ+ related issues. I specialize in polyamory and ethical non-monogamy; and have experience working with polycules. I practice couples communication coaching and conflict resolution. I am kink-allied, sex work-allied, LGBTQ+ allied.
Hi, I’m Orren Reeves, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than a decade of experience supporting teens and adults through life’s challenges. I believe healing begins with feeling seen, heard, and understood. My approach is trauma-informed and strengths-based, creating a safe and supportive space where you can explore what you’re experiencing, build on your strengths, and develop practical tools to move forward with greater confidence and clarity. It would be an honor to walk alongside you on your journey toward healing, growth, and a life that feels more fulfilling and authentic to you.
I am Lakesha Duncan, a Licensed Professional Counselor who believes that people are more than their diagnoses, addictions, past experiences, or mistakes. My purpose is to provide a safe and compassionate space where clients feel heard, respected, and supported as they work toward healing, stability, and a renewed sense of purpose.
I earned a Master’s degree in Addiction Counseling and a Master’s degree in Professional Counseling from Grand Canyon University. My education and professional background have prepared me to address both mental health and substance-use concerns, including the complex relationship between trauma, emotional distress, life experiences, and addictive behaviors.
I have extensive experience providing counseling, clinical leadership, and behavioral health services in outpatient, residential, and community-based settings. I work primarily with adults, including individuals with co-occurring mental health and substance-use disorders.
My areas of experience include trauma, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, addiction and recovery, relapse concerns, anger, relationship and family difficulties, low self-worth, and major life transitions. I also support individuals rebuilding their lives after hospitalization, incarceration, homelessness, family separation, or other significant disruptions.
I understand that beginning counseling can feel uncomfortable, especially when you have experienced loss, disappointment, judgment, or difficulty trusting others. My counseling style is warm, down-to-earth, culturally responsive, honest, and nonjudgmental. I will meet you where you are while encouraging you to recognize your strengths and move toward the life you want to create.

I am from Lockport, Illinois and have lived in Phoenix AZ for over 25 years. I received my undergrad at Governor's state University and grad degree from Capella university. My specialty is Trauma, but I also work with many other problems. I work with children ages 10 to 18.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an LGBTQIA Therapist in Phoenix
Finding LGBTQIA+ therapists in Phoenix starts with identifying care that is affirming, specific, and aligned with your needs. Many people look for support related to gender identity, sexuality, coming out, relationship concerns, family dynamics, anxiety, or depression. As you compare therapists, look for bios that mention affirmative therapy, gender-diverse experience, WPATH training, gender identity counseling, sexuality counselling, gay therapy, or LGBTQIA+-affirming couples support.
Phoenix has a large mental health care market, and a wide set of options can take time to sort through. In-person appointments may fit well if you prefer an office near your neighborhood, commute, or school. Virtual therapy can also expand your options, especially when you want a therapist who clearly works with LGBTQIA+ people. Review each therapist’s profile for scheduling flexibility, therapeutic approach, identity experience, and whether they offer a free phone consultation before the first session.
Therapy in Phoenix can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before booking. Headway helps you compare LGBTQIA+-affirming therapists who are accepting new patients, review detailed bios, verify your insurance, see estimated costs upfront, and book directly when you’re ready.
