Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Yuma, AZ

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.

Johnny Zhong is a compassionate, client-centered therapist specializing in trauma, EMDR, and certified in psychosomatic therapy. He focuses on anxiety, depression, and body image issues, working with children, teenagers, and some adults. His approach is tailored to each client’s unique needs. In addition to his clinical work, Johnny is also training to become a music therapist, expanding his therapeutic repertoire by integrating music into his treatment methods.

Many adults come to therapy wondering, "What's wrong with me?" I believe a more helpful question is, "What has shaped my experience, and what makes sense about the way I think, feel, and respond?" Lasting change begins with understanding yourself—not fixing yourself.

I have a special passion for working with neurodivergent adults, including those with ADHD, autism, and AuDHD, as well as adults navigating anxiety, trauma, life transitions, and emotional overwhelm. Whether you've spent years masking, feeling misunderstood, or believing you simply needed to "try harder," therapy can be a place to better understand yourself with curiosity and compassion instead of self-criticism.

I earned my Master of Science in Professional Counseling from Grand Canyon University and bring over 10 years of clinical experience supporting adults with a wide range of mental health challenges, including serious mental illness (SMI), trauma, anxiety, and depression. These experiences have strengthened my belief that healing happens in relationships where people feel genuinely seen, respected, and accepted without judgment.

My goal is to help you understand how your mind, emotions, nervous system, and experiences shape the way you move through the world so we can build practical strategies that fit your life—not someone else's expectations. I believe therapy isn't about becoming a different person; it's about understanding yourself more deeply so you can live more authentically, navigate life's challenges with greater confidence, and create meaningful, lasting change.

Offering somatic and energetic focused therapy in Arizona and Kentucky via telehealth:

I support client who identify as neurodivergent, sensitive, empathic, intuitive or creative. With twelve years experience providing trauma-focused support, I weave together talk therapy with somatic (body-focused) techniques, energy psychology and energy therapies for highly effective therapy. My approach supports the holistic self by meeting body, mind, emotion, energy and soul.

We all experience phases of disharmony, ebbs and flows in life, times of thriving, and times of struggle. When those times of struggle manifest as chronic stress, anxiety, complex trauma, depression, unresolved grief, or feeling disconnected from your true self, finding support from a neutral source is a necessary path toward reclaiming who you are.

In addition to my master's education in clinical mental health counseling, I am also a Reiki master-level practitioner and teacher, Certified Yoga Teacher, Spinal Energetics practitioner, and shamanic practitioner. I offer these tools to complement traditional talk therapy.

Holistic healing modalities may include somatic/ body-based psychotherapy, energy psychology, therapeutic yoga and therapeutic meditation.

This integrative approach addresses mind, body, emotion, energy, and soul to restore whole health.

I believe mental health treatment works best as a collaborative partnership. I take time to understand each client's unique experiences, symptoms, strengths, and goals before developing an individualized treatment plan. Treatment may include medication management, psychoeducation, lifestyle recommendations, and referrals for therapy or additional services when appropriate.

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.

My name is Carly Reina, and I am a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with a Master of Science in Nursing from Walden University. I provide mental health care across the full lifespan — from children, adolescents, adults, and seniors — and I take pride in the breadth and depth of experience that allows me to serve individuals and families at every stage of life.

My primary clinical focus areas include relationships, sleep disorders, ADD/ADHD, anxiety, and depression. I also work with clients navigating bipolar disorder, PTSD, trauma, panic disorders, chronic conditions, OCD, stress, and family concerns.

My work with children, adolescents, and young adults is particularly meaningful to me. Early childhood is one of the most critical and often underserved periods for mental health — and having a provider who understands the unique developmental, relational, and behavioral landscape of these early years can make a profound difference for both children and their families.

Whatever stage of life you or your loved one is in, I am here to provide thoughtful, individualized care.

Something keeps pulling you back into the same patterns, the anxiety that returns no matter how much you manage it, the grief that hasn't had room to land, or the relationship dynamic you've tried to change but can't quite shift. I work with women navigating anxiety, grief, trauma, and relationship challenges, helping them understand what's driving those patterns and how to start making choices that come from the inside out. My approach pays attention to the whole person, including what your body is telling you, not just what your mind is saying. Clients often describe me as someone who helps them understand themselves in ways they hadn't expected.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who earned my Master of Social Work from Brigham Young University. I am the owner of Salt River Counseling, where I provide compassionate, evidence-based therapy to individuals, couples, families, and children. Over the past decade, I have worked in a variety of behavioral health settings, including residential treatment, outpatient therapy, school social work, substance use treatment, and clinical leadership. My experience has included serving as a Clinical Director, Clinical Supervisor, Family Therapist, and Admissions Director, allowing me to support clients with a wide range of mental health needs while also mentoring other clinicians and developing trauma-informed programs.

My passion is helping children, teens, adults, couples, and families navigate life's challenges with compassion and practical support. I specialize in treating trauma, anxiety, depression, ADHD, addiction, family conflict, parenting concerns, and life transitions. My approach is collaborative and individualized, drawing from evidence-based therapies including CBT, DBT, ACT, EMDR, Motivational Interviewing, and attachment-based, trauma-informed care. My goal is to create a safe, supportive environment where clients feel understood, build on their strengths, and develop the skills needed to create lasting change. I also don't want therapy to feel stale or robotic. I will meet you where you are at, and incorporate creative techniques to meet your style.

Hi, my name is Dan. I bring a deeply personal understanding to mental health care. Having witnessed family members and fellow veterans navigate their own struggles, I know firsthand how isolating and disorienting it can feel to need support. I approach every session with the patience, attentiveness, and genuine care I would offer someone I love — listening not just to your words, but to what you're truly trying to communicate. My commitment is to always be as honest with you as possible, because I believe real help requires real honesty. When I'm not working, I enjoy reading and spending time outdoors.
