My name is Kayla and I have 8 years of experience specializing in individuals facing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and substance use.

I believe healing happens through genuine connection, and I'm here to support and encourage you every step of the way.

Hi there — I’m so glad you’re here.

My name is Deborah (Debbie) and I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with a heart for holding space where healing, self-discovery, and personal transformation can take place. I believe that therapy is not just about coping — it’s about becoming.

With over three years of experience as a therapist and a background in mental health leadership, I specialize in working with adults navigating anxiety, depression, identity issues, life transitions, self-worth, and trauma recovery. I am especially passionate about supporting those from culturally diverse backgrounds, providing care that honors your story, your voice, and your truth.

I hold a Master’s degree in Counseling and am currently pursuing my Doctorate in Organizational Leadership with an emphasis in Behavioral Health. I’ve worked across both agency and private practice settings, and now I’m honored to serve through my own practice, Guided Grace Behavioral Health — a virtual space created for people who are ready to do the inner work in a safe, intentional, and inclusively sensitive environment.

Whether this is your first time in therapy or you’re returning to continue your journey, I would be honored to walk alongside you. Let’s reclaim your peace, your purpose, and your power — one session at a time.

To anyone watching from the outside, you have it together. You execute, you deliver, and you keep moving forward. But beneath the surface, the engine never actually idles.

You live in a state of high-functioning exhaustion, navigating an internal friction where past stress, unresolved experiences, and relentless self-imposed standards quietly dictate how you operate. You’ve likely tried out-thinking the pressure, relying on sheer discipline, or pushing through the static, only to find yourself feeling disconnected from the very life and goals you’ve worked so hard to build.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). I hold a B.S. in Psychology from Arizona State University and a Master’s in Counseling from Ottawa University, with a concentration in the treatment of trauma, abuse, and deprivation. I have years of experience treating anxiety, depression, trauma, chronic pain, and addiction. I also have a focus in the support of medical professionals, lawyers, executives, and other high-performers. I'm fluent in English and Arabic, and provide a space where immigrant and first-generation clients feel deeply understood.

Hi, I’m Nichole, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Arizona, dedicated to helping individuals navigate challenges like anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and other issues. I offer a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where you can feel seen, heard, and supported. My practice is LGBTQIA affirming, and I strive to create an inclusive environment where all identities are respected. Together, we’ll work toward healing, growth, and building the life you deserve.

I believe that we all have the capacity for healing within ourselves. I work with clients of all ages. My goal is to instill hope and healing for clients presenting with concerns related to post-traumatic stress, attachment, anxiety, grief/loss, depression, disruptive behaviors, social skills, parenting, and/or relational distress.

Hi, I’m Breecole Valdez! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and the owner of Moods Counseling Services. I earned my Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling in 2018 and have since dedicated myself to helping people navigate mental health challenges with compassion, understanding, and a down-to-earth vibe. My experience includes leading mental health and DBT IOP groups at Aurora Behavioral Health, and interning at Healthy Futures in Scottsdale.

I'm so glad you're here. Taking the first step toward caring for your mental health isn't always easy, and I appreciate the opportunity to be part of your journey.

I am a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and Family Nurse Practitioner with nearly 20 years of nursing experience and 9 years of experience as a nurse practitioner. My clinical background includes hospice, primary care, outpatient psychiatry, and inpatient child and adolescent behavioral health. Drawing from these diverse experiences, I provide compassionate, evidence-based care tailored to each person's unique story.

My outpatient practice is currently dedicated to caring for adults with depression, anxiety, trauma, stress, grief, life transitions, and burnout. I believe mental health care should be compassionate, evidence-based, and personalized to your unique story. Whether you're seeking medication management, support through a difficult season, or both, my goal is to help you feel heard, understood, and empowered. Together, we'll create a treatment plan that aligns with your goals, respects your values, and supports lasting well-being.

Hi! I am Janet Hardin LCSW. I have a fine education from Temple University. My experience is varied enriching my perspective which is open and welcoming. I am passionate about my work.

Hello, my name is Sherri Crespin, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner passionate about providing integrated care for complex mental health challenges, including personality disorders, PTSD and trauma, substance use disorders, ADHD, depression, anxiety, panic disorders, mood disorders, and bipolar conditions. My practice recognizes these conditions are interconnected in ways requiring specialized understanding.

I chose these specializations because I understand how trauma influences personality development, how ADHD complicates substance use recovery, how symptoms emerge during extreme stress, and how these complex interactions require providers who see the complete picture. Whether you're in recovery while managing other conditions, dealing with personality patterns that developed as survival mechanisms, or navigating multiple diagnoses, I bring the expertise needed for comprehensive care.

My approach emphasizes evidence-based treatments and the healing power of being truly understood. I recognize that seeking help for stigmatized conditions like personality disorders takes tremendous courage, especially after negative experiences with providers. I create a therapeutic space where you can explore your experiences without judgment or shame.

You can expect a thorough assessment, personalized treatment planning, and consistent support throughout our work together. My goal is to help you build resilience, develop effective coping strategies, and thrive in your daily life.

I'm Jennifer Shocklie, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) licensed in Arizona and Oregon, and I provide medication management with supportive psychotherapy fully by telehealth. Before moving into full-time practice, I spent two years as clinical faculty at Grand Canyon University teaching Population Health and psychiatric rotations, so I've sat on both sides of the classroom and the exam room. I work primarily with adults navigating anxiety, depression, and ADHD, and I bring a culturally attuned, neurodivergent-affirming lens shaped by my own blended background and a life full of moves and transitions. If you've ever left an appointment feeling like your provider only got half the picture — your history, your culture, the way your brain actually works — that's the gap I built this practice to close.
