I have had a state LAC license in Arizona for 10 years and worked in behavioral health for 14 years. I am Gottman Method certified in couple/marriage therapy and trained in IFS for past traumatic experiences. Extensive training in CBT, ACT modalities to help you learn how the brain processes thoughts and emotions, how you can trick your cognition to commit to the changes needed to live a happy and rewarding life.
I believe healing happens when you feel truly seen, heard, and accepted exactly as you are. Therapy doesn’t have to feel cold or clinical—it can be genuine, collaborative, and even include moments of laughter along the way.
I earned my Bachelor of Social Work from Western Illinois University and my Master of Social Work from Arizona State University. I’ve been practicing as a master’s-level social worker since 2010 and have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) for the past three years. I’m also certified in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a highly effective, evidence-based therapy that helps people heal from trauma and distressing life experiences.
I am Kathleen Phalen, LCSW, a licensed clinical therapist with over 28 years' experience in mental health care. I believe prioritizing mental health is key to happiness, health, and stability in life. Seeking help can be challenging, and I want to help you feel comfortable starting your work on your healing journey.
