Find a therapist in Arizona — covered by insurance

I am a multicultural bilingual psychotherapist, and your well-being is my ultimate concern. I have always wanted to help others and provide them with the tools needed to overcome life stressor. I have been working in this industry since 2000 but have had my own practice since 2021. I attended Arizona State University for both my bachelors and masters. I provide EMDR and Hypnotherapy, along with other modalities CBT, DBT and mindfulness.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Master's degree in Professional Counseling from Grand Canyon University and 18 years of experience in behavioral health and addiction services. Throughout my career, I have worked with individuals facing substance use challenges, mental health concerns, life transitions, and personal struggles that can leave people feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from who they want to be.

I specialize in working with adults experiencing addiction, anxiety, depression, self-esteem concerns, men's issues, LGBTQ+ concerns, relationship challenges, trauma, and major life transitions. I am passionate about helping clients discover their strengths, develop healthier coping skills, and create meaningful, lasting change.

I believe that healing happens when people feel accepted, understood, and supported. My goal is to provide a safe, inclusive, and affirming environment where clients can explore their experiences without judgment. No matter how difficult things may feel today, I believe there is hope for growth, healing, and recovery.

Dawn Starkey has been devoted to the counseling profession for 10 years. She is a highly educated, National Board-Certified counselor serving individuals who seek a safe place to tackle life's heavy burdens. Serving older teens, women, and families, Dawn relies on a holistic, trauma-informed approach to empower clients to live their best lives.

Every person deserves to be truly seen and heard without the fear of judgment or the pressure to have all the right answers. I have dedicated my practice to creating a space where there are no right or wrong ways to feel—only room to heal, grow, and be met exactly where you are. I specialize in supporting elementary-age children, neurodivergent youth, and women who are navigating the complexities of anxiety, depression, PTSD, and relational challenges. I feel privileged to help my clients achieve their goals and improve their lives by helping them find the stability and self-esteem they deserve.

I believe therapy should feel like a human connection rather than a clinical process. I work closely with parents as well, helping them find the right language and tools to connect deeply with their children and build a more supportive home environment. My clients often describe me as real, relatable, and refreshingly down-to-earth. When I am not in the office, I enjoy the simple restoration that comes with a long walk or a good book. I want my clients to feel safe and empowered during their time with me, knowing they have a partner who is genuinely invested in their unique journey.

I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, PTSD, trauma-related disorders, and behavioral challenges in children, teens, and adults. My approach integrates CBT, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing, trauma-informed care, and attachment-focused therapy to help clients build practical coping skills, improve emotional regulation, and create meaningful, lasting change.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with over 12 years of clinical experience, including 4 years as a licensed counselor in behavioral health settings. I support individuals and families navigating life transitions, chronic stress, and complex emotional challenges, helping them move toward greater confidence and resilience.

I have extensive experience working with foster and adoptive families, focusing on attachment, trauma, parenting stress, and family transitions. My background within the Department of Child Services (DCS), juvenile detention, and family court systems allows me to guide families through both the emotional and procedural aspects of these environments with clarity and confidence.

I strive to create a supportive, non-judgmental space where clients feel heard and empowered. My approach is flexible and tailored to each client’s unique needs, ensuring therapy is both practical and impactful.

If you do not see a time that fits your schedule, please reach out—I will do my best to accommodate your needs.
