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.

Lakesha Duncan

Lakesha Duncan

Therapist

Virtual • Phoenix, AZ


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.

Therapist

Trauma can create a response much like a pebble thrown into a still pond. The incident may seem small at first, but it ripples outward and disrupts your sense of control, balance, self-worth, and confidence. Those distressed feelings can amplify intrusive thoughts, unpredictable emotions, and even physical symptoms that interrupt your relationships, career, and daily life. I am a licensed therapist with over 17 years of experience working with adults across every level of care. I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, and the complex aftermath of abuse and assault. My goal is to help you rebuild the peace within.

Dr. Linda Wickens

Dr. Linda Wickens

Therapist

Virtual • Arizona


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.
