Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Tucson, AZ

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.

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.

Integrating evidence-based modalities such as ACT, CBT, DBT, PRT and somatic therapy, I help clients cultivate resilience, self-awareness, and lasting change.

From a young age as an “old soul” I’ve carried a deep desire to witness & share people’s stories. I have always been a deep thinker and feeler. Born and raised near the Great Lake Erie (PA), I attended Penn State for my undergraduate studies in Human Development & Family Studies as well as Sociology. People & their development, both individually and collectively as a group, continue to fascinate me. There is always more to learn. More than 10 years ago I moved cross-country sight unseen to Tucson to attend the University of Arizona where I earned my Master’s in Counseling & Mental Health. The desert completely enchanted me and I’ve never left! We live in such a beautiful, healing place.

As I dove into the fields of both behavioral health & education, it became apparent that families often aren’t set up for or connected to the resources necessary to thrive. With a background in elementary school counseling, I worked with a vast variety of populations of students, families, and staff to problem-solve and collaborate toward whole-person success.

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.
