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 believe when people find their purpose they find motivation. I am a neurodivergent therapist who understands others challenges and work at ensuring the client understands the why of what one does to foster behavioral changes.
With 34 years as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I've walked alongside people through some of the heaviest chapters of life — chronic illness, grief, trauma, and the kind of relationship pain that makes you question your own judgment. I earned my MSW at the University of Michigan and have spent three decades learning what actually helps people move forward.
I work exclusively via telehealth for adults and older adults in Michigan and Arizona. One thing I want you to know: I will never use AI to record our sessions. What you share with me stays between us.
A former client described working with me as "the right mix of supportive and challenging." I think that's what honest, effective therapy looks like — not just validation, but real engagement with where you want to go.
You’re Either Numb... or Constantly Overwhelmed. There’s No Middle Ground.
Albert supports adults navigating ADHD, emotional dysregulation, and burnout regain a sense of balance and control. With a calm, nonjudgmental approach, he helps clients better understand their emotions, manage daily overwhelm, and rebuild confidence step by step. If you’ve been feeling disconnected from yourself, Albert provides practical support to help you feel grounded, clear-minded, and emotionally steady again without guilt or shame.
Hi there-may name is Fiona Standen and I am a psychotherapist, practicing since 2001 and specializing in Autism Spectrum Disorder.
I believe mental and physical health are deeply connected, which is why I take a whole-
person approach to psychiatric care. As a dual-certified Family Nurse Practitioner and
Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I bring experience in both medical and
psychiatric care to understand the full picture behind what you’re experiencing. I provide
individualized care for anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar and other mood disorders,
PTSD and trauma-related conditions, OCD, panic disorder, insomnia, and other
psychiatric concerns. My medical background also allows me to consider how
hormones, thyroid function, medications, sleep, and other physical health factors may
contribute to changes in mood, anxiety, attention, and overall well-being. My goal is to
provide thoughtful, evidence-based treatment in a supportive, judgment-free
environment where you feel heard, understood, and actively involved in your care.
If you've tried talk therapy but still feel stuck, I offer a different kind of support. I provide trauma-informed therapy for adults in Tucson and across Arizona, in person and online. Using EMDR, somatic therapy, and ketamine-assisted therapy, I help people heal from trauma and move toward a life of greater connection and vitality. I especially welcome LGBTQIA+ adults, people with ADHD and autism, older adults, and people navigating PTSD, complex trauma, burnout, chronic illness, grief and loss, and issues related to sexuality and identity.
I am trained in EMDR, a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional and a Certified Psychedelic Therapist.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Scottsdale
Searching for therapists in Scottsdale starts with finding someone whose training matches what you want support with. Scottsdale therapists may work with concerns like anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, work stress, and life transitions. As you compare options, look for a therapist who lists specialties, approaches, or populations that fit your needs. A bio that mentions cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, couples therapy, or experience with specific concerns can help you understand how that therapist may work with you.
Scottsdale offers a strong mix of local and virtual therapy options across areas like Old Town, McCormick Ranch, and Gainey Ranch, while nearby Phoenix can add more choice for people open to a wider search. Some people prefer in-person sessions near home or work, while others choose virtual therapy for more scheduling options. Beyond specialty, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, session format, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading therapist profiles before booking can help you compare communication style, approach, and what to expect in a first session.
Therapy in Scottsdale 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 care begins. Headway helps you search for a Scottsdale therapist who matches your preferences, may accept your insurance, and is accepting new patients. You can review detailed profiles, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and schedule directly when you are ready.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
