LGBT therapists in Tucson, AZ

If you've tried talk therapy but still feel stuck, I offer a different kind of support. I provide trauma-informed therapy for adults in Tucson and across Arizona, in person and online. Using EMDR, somatic therapy, and ketamine-assisted therapy, I help people heal from trauma and move toward a life of greater connection and vitality. I especially welcome LGBTQIA+ adults, people with ADHD and autism, older adults, and people navigating PTSD, complex trauma, burnout, chronic illness, grief and loss, and issues related to sexuality and identity.

I am trained in EMDR, a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional and a Certified Psychedelic Therapist.

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.

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.

My clients tend to desire greater embodiment, self and relational connection, and healing. Many want to strengthen self-trust, grow relational skills, and navigate life transitions. Those drawn to my practice tend to be healers and care workers, creatives, educators, entrepreneurs, and changemakers. As an individual and couples therapist, I often work with people desiring more or different out of their relationships, as well as clients looking for support related to sex, sexuality, and trauma.

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.

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 adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, OCD, and trauma-related concerns. My goal is to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard and empowered.

Healing isn't about fixing what's broken; it's about understanding how your mind and body adapted to survive and discovering new ways to thrive.

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor in Arizona specializing in trauma, attachment, anxiety, depression, substance use, relationship patterns, and nervous system healing. I hold a Master's degree in Clinical Psychology and am currently completing my PhD in Transpersonal Psychology. My doctoral research explores the lived experience of healing developmental trauma through attachment repair, somatic integration, inner-child healing, and innate healing processes that support lasting transformation.

Many people come to therapy believing they're broken, when in reality they're living with nervous systems that adapted to survive difficult experiences. I believe healing begins by understanding those protective patterns with compassion and helping them soften so you can live with greater freedom, connection, and authenticity.

Whether you're navigating the effects of childhood trauma, painful relationships, chronic stress, grief, or recovery from substance use, therapy can help you understand the patterns that once protected you while creating new ones that support a more fulfilling life.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in both research and experience. I integrate Somatic Experiencing, attachment-based therapy, mindfulness, parts work, and evidence-informed trauma treatment to help clients move beyond insight into meaningful, embodied healing. My work focuses not only on understanding your story, but also on helping your nervous system experience safety, connection, and lasting change.

If you've always been the one holding everything together while quietly struggling on the inside, you don't have to do it alone. Together, we'll build greater resilience, self-compassion, healthier relationships, and a deeper connection with the person you want to become.

I’m originally from the North West where I earned a BA in Recreation and Leisure at Eastern Washington University. I began my career overseas working with military members and their families. I had the pleasure of working with Army, Air Force, Navy and Army Recruiting Command as a DOD Civilian. My service took me to Ft. Lewis, WA, Korea, Guam, Germany, and Syracuse NY. I later studied and earned a Masters in Human Relations from the University of Oklahoma and a Masters of Social Work from Syracuse University in New York.

I began to practice as a Social Worker for Indian Health Services with an Apache Tribe in Arizona. My last years of service were with the Veteran Administration as a Social Worker on an Acute Psychiatric Unit in Wyoming and as a Military Sexual Assault Program Manager in Washington.

My travels have exposed me to a diversity of people from many walks of life. I am comfortable with many backgrounds, cultures, believes, and counties of origin. I am welcoming to LBGTQIA, Female and Male alike.

I'm a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner who supports teens, young adults, and families working through constant worry, big emotions, focus challenges, and the impact of difficult life experiences. Before specializing in psychiatry five years ago, I spent 13 yeas in emergency medicine, where I learned how deeply people need to feel seen and supported during overwhelming moments. That experience shaped my approach today: blending medical expertise with genuine curiosity, compassion, and respect for YOUR story. My goal is to create a space where you feel, safe, understood, and able to explore what you are going through with clarity and confidence.

I am Gina Feletar, a board certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 27 years of nursing experience, and a dedicated companion on your journey toward well-being. I am serving clients in both Arizona and California.

Healing begins when we see the whole person, not just the symptoms. My practice blends evidence-based care with a holistic perspective, creating space for healing that also honors your uniqueness. Beyond managing mental health conditions, my mission is to help you reclaim your strength, and rediscover hope rooted in wellness and purpose.
