Hi, I'm Eevee. (Yep, like the Pokémon, lol) I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor, and I believe therapy works best when you can show up as your whole self, knowing that your experiences, identities, values, culture, and strengths will be respected and welcomed.
As a Black, LGBTQ+ identified, gender-nonconforming therapist, my own lived experiences have shaped how I understand identity, belonging, authenticity, community, and the ways our environments can influence our well-being. These experiences inform my commitment to providing culturally responsive care and creating a therapeutic space where you don't have to hide or minimize important parts of who you are.
My work is collaborative, trauma-informed, and grounded in the belief that people have an incredible capacity for growth. I work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, identity, stress, and other experiences that can make life feel difficult or disconnected.
At the heart of my work is a simple philosophy: I am less interested in helping you simply get through life. I want to support you as you Grow Through Life—developing greater understanding, skills, courage, and connection along the way.
Create and live the meaning of your life, whether by improving relationships, thriving within your career, enduring struggle, or saying goodbye. We can help you overcome limiting beliefs or patterns. We can help you embrace new perspectives and solve the problems that need solving. We can help you transcend any setbacks you have experienced, and determine how you can best serve others. Therapy does not have to be rigid; humor is encouraged. We can have fun while applying the best techniques psychology has produced.
I work with people who feel caught between who they've been and who they're becoming. Many of my clients are navigating trauma, identity shifts, major life transitions, or a longing to feel more connected to themselves and the people around them. Often, they arrive feeling overwhelmed by change, weighed down by old roles or patterns, and uncertain about what comes next.
My goal is to create a space where you can slow down, explore what you're carrying, and begin moving toward a life that feels more authentic, grounded, and aligned with who you are.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). I hold a B.S. in Psychology from Arizona State University and a Master’s in Counseling from Ottawa University, with a concentration in the treatment of trauma, abuse, and deprivation. I’m here to help when your thoughts stop working for you and start working against you, when your values become difficult to apply, when you're stuck trying to survive rather than thrive, when the product becomes the focus rather than the process, and when that sense of fulfillment becomes elusive. I have years of experience treating anxiety, depression, trauma, chronic pain, and addiction. I also have a focus in the support of medical professionals, lawyers, executives, and other high-performers. I'm fluent in English and Arabic, and provide a space where immigrant and first-generation clients feel deeply understood.
Taking the first step is hard — my job is to make it easier. I provide supportive, personalized medication management for ADHD, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and more.
I have a Master's degree in Social Work and have worked for many years in Florida and Arizona helping adults with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, healing from PTSD trauma and addictions.
I am a board-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner. I obtained by Associates degree in Nursing at Penn Valley College in Kansas City Missouri in 2001. I completed my Masters of Science in Psychiatric nursing in 2020. I have 23 years of nursing experience in a variety of areas, both medical and neuro-psychiatry. I have experience with young adults to geriatric populations.
If you’re looking for support with PTSD, complex trauma, mood disorders, ADHD, personality disorders, self-harm, or suicidal thoughts, I want you to know you don’t have to carry it alone.
Since 2017, I’ve worked with clients ages 12+ in settings ranging from wilderness therapy and inpatient hospitalization to residential treatment and private practice. I also provide individual, family, and coparenting therapy.
My name is Joy House. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and have been seeing patients for 17 years. I am a native of Washington State and have enjoyed my relocation to the beautiful state of Arizona. I bring experience, education, fun, and teamwork to the therapeutic process.
