Therapist

Hi, I’m Bianca Chavez, a Licensed Professional Counselor and founder of Untamed Rose Therapy. I have over 10 years of experience in community mental health, intensive outpatient therapy, and group practice. I currently provide virtual therapy for adults throughout Arizona.

I’ve had the opportunity to work with people from many different backgrounds and through a wide range of life experiences. I’ve worked with adults facing anxiety, relationship challenges, major life changes, and the everyday pressures that can make it difficult to feel like yourself. These experiences have shaped how I see therapy and the importance of meeting each person as an individual.

I’m also someone who believes therapy doesn’t have to be overly formal or intimidating. You don’t need to have everything figured out or know exactly where to start. Sometimes knowing that you want something to feel different is enough.

Sessions are available in English and Spanish.

Si te sientes más cómodo/a hablando en español, este puede ser un espacio para hablar de tu vida, tus experiencias y lo que necesitas con respeto por tu cultura, tus valores y tu historia.

William "Eevee" Santos

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Tempe, AZ


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.

Julie A. Armstrong

Therapist

Virtual • Arizona


I have extensive experience working with families—including both birth and foster families—involved in DCS care, as well as individuals navigating substance use and mental health challenges such as depression, anxiety, and grief. Through this work, I have supported clients in managing complex family dynamics, coping with loss and transition, and building skills to support long-term stability and well-being.

Most recently, I worked in a primary care setting, where I gained a deeper understanding of the connection between physical and mental health. This experience has strengthened my awareness of how chronic health conditions can impact emotional well-being, stress levels, and overall quality of life. I integrate this perspective into my work, helping clients address both the emotional and practical aspects of living with ongoing health challenges.

Natalie Davis

Natalie Davis

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Phoenix, AZ


People come to therapy carrying all kinds of things. A teenager navigating identity and anxiety. An adult whose depression has become the background noise of daily life. An older adult sitting with grief, transition, and questions about meaning and purpose. I work across all of it — with teens, adults, and older adults — and I bring the same grounded, genuine investment to every person who walks through the door.

What I offer isn't just clinical range, though I have that. It's the perspective that comes from over a decade working across outpatient, intensive outpatient, and inpatient settings, serving as a clinical director, supervising clinicians toward licensure, and training the next generation of therapists at universities across Arizona. That kind of career doesn't just build skill. It builds a clinician who has seen enough to know that the most important thing in the room is never the framework — it's the relationship.

I'm an Arizona native, down-to-earth, and genuinely easy to be around. I value humor and believe lightheartedness has a real place in the therapy room — not as a way of avoiding the hard stuff, but as a reminder that healing doesn't have to feel relentlessly heavy. I work with people navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, borderline personality disorder, co-occurring conditions, and complex life transitions, and I meet all of it with warmth, steadiness, and real clinical depth.

What I'm ultimately working toward with every client is simple: a better relationship with yourself and the people around you. More clarity. More purpose. A life that feels more like yours. Whether you're just beginning to understand what you're carrying or you've been at this work for years, I'll help you build something from there.
