Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Yuma, AZ

I’m Christina, a warm, down-to-earth therapist who genuinely enjoys getting to know people and understanding what makes them who they are.

I’ve spent more than 15 years working with people in schools, hospitals, community mental health, crisis intervention, and trauma-focused settings. Along the way, I’ve supported veterans, first responders, trauma and abuse survivors, parents, professionals, adolescents, and neurodivergent individuals.

My path into therapy has given me the opportunity to sit with people during some incredibly difficult moments. It has taught me that there is almost always more to someone than what we see on the surface - and that life rarely fits neatly into categories.

I’m interested in the whole picture: your experiences, relationships, strengths, struggles, sense of humor, values, and the things you may not always understand about yourself.

I also believe therapy can be both meaningful and human. There will be serious conversations, but there can also be laughter, honesty, and those moments when something finally clicks.

You don’t have to have an impressive story or a perfect explanation for why you’re here. We can start with wherever life has you right now.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a passion for creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients feel safe to be themselves. I earned my Master’s in Social Work from Arizona State University and have been practicing for nearly five years, with experience supporting individuals navigating trauma, including motor vehicle accident trauma and injury. My approach is compassionate and collaborative, honoring each person’s strengths while moving at a pace that feels right for you.

I’m a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner and come from a background of 17 years in healthcare. My approach to care is holistic, compassionate, and grounded in understanding each person’s story. I work with individuals experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, loss, and chronic conditions to name a few. I’m especially passionate about supporting Native American communities.

Clients often describe me as warm, patient, and easy to talk to. My goal is to create a safe space where you feel seen, supported, and empowered to take steps toward lasting mental wellness.

I’m Matthew “Matt” Tapia, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) offering online therapy in Arizona and California. I specialize in neurodivergent-affirming care for autistic people and people with ADHD. I also help clients navigate anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, relationship concerns, and caregiver stress.

If daily demands leave you overwhelmed, misunderstood, or unsure where to begin, we can start with what matters most to you. My style is warm, practical, and collaborative, with room to explore your experiences and develop skills you can use in everyday life.

I work with children, teens, adults, and families. I hold a Master of Arts from Santa Clara University and am also a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA). My background in family therapy and behavioral science helps me understand how emotions, relationships, daily routines, and your environment influence one another.

Together, we can work on managing strong emotions, communicating your needs, strengthening relationships, and creating routines that fit your life. Therapy respects your communication preferences, sensory needs, strengths, and personal goals.

All sessions take place through secure telehealth. I accept insurance through Headway, where you can check your coverage and view available appointments.
