I'm Rachael Colley, a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner focused on psychiatric medication management with a practical, skills-based approach. My path ran through teaching and nursing before prescribing, so explaining things in plain language comes naturally, and I care about what works in your real life, not just what looks good on paper.
Who I work with I see adults, teens, and children, with particular depth in ADHD, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, perinatal and postpartum mental health, and binge eating disorder. I provide neurodiversity-affirming care and have a strong interest in supporting people navigating a late diagnosis, both the relief of finally having answers and the practical work of figuring out what comes next.
I offer early morning, evening, and weekend appointments across Arizona.
Hello, It’s My Pleasure to Connect with You! As a licensed clinical social worker, my approach is to meet clients where they are. I believe that each individual possesses the resources necessary to address their challenges, and my goal is to collaborate with clients as they explore and utilize their own strengths to navigate life's difficulties. I have 15 years of experience in community mental health, hold a master’s degree from Arizona State University, and am licensed through the Arizona Board of Behavioral Health Examiners.
Hello and welcome! my name is Darren Nguyen (Duy), I'm currently only taking new clients for individual therapy, not couple and family therapy. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor dedicated to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges and achieve meaningful growth. I earned my Master’s degree in Counseling with an emphasis on Mental Health Counseling from the University of Arizona and have experience working in a community mental health clinic, supporting individuals facing a range of emotional and psychological struggles. Growing up in two different cultures, I understand how cultural influences shape identity, values, and personal experiences, allowing me to provide culturally responsive care that acknowledges the intersection of mental health and cultural background. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, trauma, borderline personality disorder, and attachment-related concerns using a person-centered, strength-based, and trauma-informed approach. Integrating evidence-based modalities such as ACT, CBT, DBT, PRT and somatic therapy, I help clients cultivate resilience, self-awareness, and lasting change. My goal is to create a safe, collaborative space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to explore their emotions, challenge unhelpful patterns, and build a life aligned with their values. Whether you're struggling with past trauma, self-doubt, or emotional distress, I am here to provide compassionate guidance and effective therapeutic strategies tailored to your unique journey.
I am an independent therapist who works to get you you where you need and want to be in life. Most know me by Frank. Frank has been in the field of behavioral health for more than 25 years. Beginning with Independent Living Skills Training for Traumatic Brain Injured Individuals, Frank took care of individuals that had a goal of independence. Frank continued on in the field with respite care and eventually graduated from Grand Canyon University Cum Laude and Alphi Chi Honor society. Frank’s counseling journey began with Group Therapy in co-occuring addictions and proceeded to Crisis work including Title 36 and Crisis Mobile Team. Frank has experience with inpatient therapy as well. Following Clinic work and IOP, Frank, continued his work as a Clinical Supervisor.
My practice is able to see clients for most mental health diagnoses, utilizing most modalities. I specialize in the treatment of addictions and trauma and my experience in these areas is vast. I most enjoy utilizing IFS, EMDR, and AEPD to address these issues. I am EMDRIA certified in EMDR and IFS level I trained.
I’m a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with a background in emergency nursing, where I developed strong skills in crisis support, trauma-informed care, and compassionate communication. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University of Louisville and my Master of Science in Nursing from the University of South Alabama in 2025. My training includes inpatient and outpatient psychiatric settings, providing care across the lifespan. I have a special interest in working with children, adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, OCD, mood disorders and trauma-related concerns. My goal is to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard and empowered.
Hi, I'm Amber! If you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from yourself, I'm so glad you've found my profile. I work with adults who are navigating anxiety, depression, chronic illness, codependency, relationship challenges, substance use and addiction, ADHD, family issues, general stress and so much more.
Many of my clients are carrying more than they let on. Maybe anxiety and depression have been feeding each other for a long time, or a chronic illness is wearing you down and your mood is taking the hit. These pieces are more connected than most people realize, and I'll help you see how they fit together. Others come in struggling with life transitions, relationship patterns, self-esteem, or the lingering impact of past experiences. Wherever you're starting, I'm here to meet you in it.
I’m not just a therapist who studied resilience; I’ve lived it.
I am a multi-racial Latina born and raised in South Phoenix, Arizona, a community rich in culture, strength, survival, and deep ancestral roots. I am a proud product of the very neighborhoods, schools, and systems that shaped me, challenged me, and ultimately called me into this work.
My journey has not been one of privilege or perfection. Like many women in our communities, I know what it means to navigate generational expectations, cultural identity, survival mode, trauma, self-doubt, and the weight of carrying responsibilities at a young age.
Today, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), Board-Certified Clinical Supervisor, bilingual clinician (English & Spanish), entrepreneur, mother, mentor, speaker, and culturally rooted healer.
My approach to therapy is trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and grounded in integrating evidence-based practices with deep respect for identity, community, spirituality, intergenerational healing, and the lived realities of navigating this world as a person of color.
I have extensive experience supporting BIPOC communities, women, teens, first- and second-generation professionals, individuals impacted by incarceration, court-involved clients, young mothers, helpers, leaders, and those carrying silent burdens while appearing “strong” on the outside.
I have been in the mental health field for almost 10 years. I spent two years as a case manager for kids 6-17. I completed my internship and practicum at a rehab facility that worked with everything from trauma, substance use, and mood disorders. I work in the prison system for three years, two of which I was a substance abuse counselor. I have been running my own practice for just over two years now. I have a lot of experience working with a wide range of clients.
