Therapy should be a place where you can talk honestly about the things that are difficult to say out loud without being judged or reduced to a diagnosis—or to the hardest chapter of your life.

I work with adults and couples experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, suicidal thoughts, sexual trauma, intimacy and sexual-health concerns, grief, life transitions, military and veteran concerns, first-responder stress, and relational distress. Relational distress can include communication breakdown, recurring conflict, loss of trust, emotional distance, intimacy concerns, separation or divorce-related stress, changes within a family, parenting-related strain, or simply reaching a point where you are unsure how to move forward.

My role in therapy is to help you understand what is happening, identify what you want to change, strengthen your ability to respond differently, and work toward healthier functioning and relationships. My clinical style is direct, collaborative, trauma-informed, practical, and shame-free.

I am independently licensed for clinical social-work practice in Washington, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, and Florida; EMDR-trained; a Certified Psychosexual Assessment Specialist (CPAS); a Board-Certified Forensic Mental Health Evaluator (CFMHE); a Board-Certified Forensic Psychometrist (CFP); and a U.S. Army veteran.

My broader professional practice includes forensic mental-health evaluation and consultation. Those services are separate from psychotherapy. Once I am retained as your treating therapist and a clinical treatment relationship has been established, I cannot also serve as your forensic evaluator, expert witness, or child-custody evaluator in the same matter. Therapy is treatment-focused and is intended to support your clinical needs—not to generate an independent forensic opinion for litigation.

Therapist

Virtual • Arizona


Greetings, I am Felicia Thomas, a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with the AZBBHE. I vow to offer a safe space for you to share, be, and feel seen. I am person-centered and usually say that I have a trauma lens. Meaning, often times we go through some hard stuff and may appear okay to the naked eye, but inside there's so much anxiety and depression. I goal to help you understand you, to normalize what you are experiencing, and to join you on a path to healing.

I earned my degree in psychology, and a gap year with Jesuit Volunteer Corps in a social justice setting led me to social work. I use a systems approach, meaning I look at the personal, family, and life factors affecting your well-being. My background in foster care, crisis work, community-based care, and therapy gives me a collaborative, well-rounded perspective.

Five years ago, I started doing this work because I believe that most people are not broken — they're just carrying too much without enough support. I bring that conviction into every session. My style is honest and warm, with a side of humor when the moment calls for it, because therapy doesn't have to feel like a deposition. I'm an Arizona LCSW trained at Arizona State University, and I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, women's mental health, and the relationship challenges that tend to show up in the middle of all of the above. I offer virtual sessions across Arizona through Aetna, Cigna, and Carelon Behavioral Health — so getting started is usually simpler than people expect. If you've been putting it off, I'm glad you're here.
