Magdalena Lopez-Alsyouf

Therapist

Virtual • Arizona


As a Licensed Professional Counselor with over a decade of experience in community behavioral health and trauma-informed care, I bring both professional knowledge and genuine empathy into my sessions. I earned my Master’s degree from Grand Canyon University and have spent years supporting adults, adolescents, and families through times of transition, recovery, and growth.

My work is deeply shaped by witnessing the resilience of the human spirit—how healing becomes possible when we feel seen, supported, and safe to explore what hurts. I understand that therapy is both a brave and vulnerable step, and my intention is to create a space where you can show up as you are and begin reconnecting with your own strength and direction.

Giovanna Skylar

Giovanna Skylar

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Scottsdale, AZ


I am a double board-certified Psychiatric–Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 20 years of experience across the continuum of psychiatric care, including acute psychiatric emergencies, inpatient and outpatient psychiatry, geriatric mental health, intellectual and developmental disability services, and healthcare management. I hold a Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) and am currently completing my Doctorate, reflecting my ongoing commitment to clinical excellence, evidence-based practice, and lifelong learning.

Throughout my career, I have worked with individuals and families navigating a wide range of psychiatric conditions, from situational anxiety and depression to severe and persistent mental illness. My clinical experience includes extensive work with schizophrenia and psychotic disorders, bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD), trauma-related conditions, and mood instability across the lifespan. I am particularly experienced in caring for geriatric patients, individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, and patients with complex medication regimens requiring careful evaluation, simplification, and long-term stabilization.

I also work closely with college-aged patients and adults who are navigating academic pressure, career transitions, family dynamics, identity development, and the cumulative stressors that can emerge during periods of high responsibility or change. Many of my patients are high-functioning individuals who appear “put together” on the outside but struggle internally with anxiety, rumination, intrusive thoughts, emotional dysregulation, or burnout. Others are managing chronic psychiatric illness while striving to maintain independence, relationships, and quality of life.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Arizona


Hi here, it's nice to meet you! I'm Dr. Faught, a Doctor of Nursing Practice with over 50 years of healthcare experience. From an early age, I carried the rare gift of deep empathy and feeling the emotions of others. Strangers would approach me, compelled to share their story and their pain, trusting they would be heard without judgment. My travels across cultures sharpened this gift. I witnessed injustice and inequity impacting many lives thus strengthening my resolve to create meaningful change. I bring both skill and heart to every conversation and person.
