Hi, I'm Carisa Peeples, DNP, PMHNP-BC, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 17 years of nursing experience. My background includes psychiatric emergency care, crisis stabilization, and extensive experience supporting individuals with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, PTSD, and everyday life stressors.

Kayla, a licensed Clinical Social Worker with a background in community mental health, recognized the profound disparities in access to mental health care within BIPOC communities. Inspired by a vision of creating a space where healing is both inclusive and affordable, she founded Helen’s Project with the belief that everyone deserves access to quality mental health support, regardless of their background or financial situation.​​Helen’s Project operates on the principle that culturally competent and empathetic mental health care is essential for holistic well-being. The organization collaborates with a diverse team of mental health professionals who not only possess clinical expertise but also understand the unique cultural nuances and challenges faced by the BIPOC community.

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.

Are you looking for a therapist who understands your culture and speaks your language? I can help. I am fluent in Spanish, Polish, Brazilian Portuguese, French, and German.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse Counselor with 40 years of clinical experience. I work with adults, children, and adolescents, and I value each person’s cultural background, identity, and lived experience.

Hi there. My name is Laurie Raymond. I’m an Arizona mom and grandma who also happens to be a licensed professional counselor and I truly love what I do!

My style as a therapist is warm, supportive and down-to-earth. I work with individuals ages 16 and older, with the goal of helping people feel safe, understood and hopeful as they learn how to better cope with life’s challenges.

I use a trauma-informed approach and am trained in EMDR, Accelerated Resolution Therapy (A.R.T.), CBT and other evidence-based therapeutic approaches.

Before becoming a therapist, I worked on camera as a television news anchor and reporter in several states including CBS here in Arizona. That experience gave me the privilege of hearing people’s stories during some of the most difficult and meaningful moments of their lives and deepened my appreciation for human resilience.

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.

Hi, I’m Dr. Linda Wickens, a doctoral-level therapist and coach who works with individuals navigating stress, life transitions, relationship challenges, and patterns that keep them feeling stuck while preventing forward movement and growth. Many of my clients are high-functioning on the outside but feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or frustrated that change feels harder than it should.

Therapy and coaching with me are never one-size-fits-all. We work collaboratively to create a plan that is specific to you, your goals, and your capacity, adjusting pace and structure as your needs evolve. I focus on helping clients understand their patterns, build emotional awareness, and develop practical skills they can actually use in daily life.

I hold a Doctorate in Social Work and am a fully licensed clinical social worker, with over nine years of experience in the mental health field. My work integrates evidence-based therapy with a coaching-informed lens when appropriate, allowing sessions to be both supportive and goal-oriented while still making space to explore the past and its impact on the present.

Clients often describe my style as warm, direct, and collaborative. As part of my concierge model, clients work directly with me rather than an assistant, and I remain accessible to my clients outside of sessions through secure communication when needed. I believe growth happens through understanding, compassion, and honest conversation, and that progress is most sustainable when care feels personal, intentional, and consistent.

Please Note: I do not provide couples or marriage counseling. I do not treat adolescents under the age of 21. Additionally, I am not able to treat clients who are experiencing active suicidal ideation or self-harm behaviors. If these services are needed, I encourage seeking a provider who specializes in these areas or contacting appropriate crisis resources if immediate support is required.
