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.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and approved Clinical Supervisor in Arizona with experience across outpatient therapy, crisis and inpatient services, correctional behavioral health, clinical leadership, and statewide behavioral health systems. I am also pursuing my Doctorate in Behavioral Health.
I work with adults navigating anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, depression, stress, major life transitions, and periods of just feeling stuck or disconnected. My background allows be to bring both clinical experience and a broader understanding of how life circumstances, relationships, and systems effect emotional well-being.
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.
Hi, I’m Nicole, a licensed clinical social worker offering telehealth therapy to adults in AZ, DE, IL, PA, TX, and VA through my practice, Bicoastal Counseling & Consultation. I have over a decade of experience working in mental health, schools, and nonprofit settings. I specialize in supporting adults dealing with anxiety, life transitions, burnout, and relationship challenges. My style is warm, collaborative, and grounded in real-life experience.
Hello and welcome to my site. I have been licensed as a social worker since 1995 when I obtained my undergrad degree in social work. Since that time I have been licensed at the independent clinical level after obtaining my MSW degree and have been in practice independently since 2011. I work with a variety of clients with different issues, but I focus on trauma and how traumatic situations and life experiences impact how people see the world.
