Life can feel overwhelming—but you don’t have to navigate it alone. I’m here to help you regain clarity, stability, and a greater sense of control.

I’m Monika Delyser, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner providing thoughtful, culturally sensitive care for adults throughout Arizona and California. I support individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, burnout, mood disorders, sleep difficulties, and attention or focus challenges.

I welcome adults from all backgrounds and walks of life. Many of my clients may appear “fine” on the outside while privately feeling overwhelmed, mentally exhausted, unfocused, or stuck. Together, we will create a personalized treatment plan that supports your emotional well-being, daily functioning, and long-term goals.

You’re doing everything “right”—staying active, showing up for others, pushing through—but you’re still stuck in your head. You overthink everything. You’re constantly anxious, tense, and on edge. Maybe you feel like you’re always performing—for your team, your job, your family—and you’re tired of carrying it all.

I specialize in working with athletes and active adults who struggle with anxiety, overthinking, burnout, and people-pleasing. Together, we create a space where you can finally breathe, feel grounded, and build emotional strength to match your physical drive.

My approach combines CBT, mindfulness, somatic therapy, and solution-focused strategies through my signature T.H.R.I.V.E. Method. We’ll work together to untangle old patterns, reconnect with your body, and build clarity and confidence from the inside out.

If you’re ready to feel more present, powerful, and mentally strong, I’d be honored to support you.

I work with teens, adults, and couples. I believe that true wellness comes from integrating all aspects of ourselves—spiritual, social, emotional, intellectual, physical, and creative. As a California-certified sexual assault counselor, fully trained in EMDR and Brainspotting, I provide trauma-informed care with empathy and expertise. I also specialize in psychedelic therapy preparation and integration, guiding clients through their profound journeys with care and intention.

Hi, I'm Marili!

I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor based in California. I believe true healing happens in the body, not just the mind. As a somatic psychotherapist, I use approaches like EMDR and Brainspotting to help clients heal trauma, make sense of how larger systems have shaped them, and reconnect with who they really are.

As an immigrant, much of who I am has been shaped by the work of belonging to two worlds without fitting neatly into either. I know what it means to want to belong somewhere that doesn't always make space for you and to hold pride in where you come from anyway. That lived experience is the root of my curiosity about people, and it shapes how I sit with clients navigating their own questions of identity, belonging, and worth.

I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) who provides compassionate, evidence-based care for adults. My approach is clinical, trauma-informed, and whole-person; I look beyond symptoms alone and consider the many parts of life that shape mental health. I believe care should feel collaborative, supportive, and not overwhelming. My goal is to help you feel understood while creating a treatment plan that fits your life, values, and goals. Whether you are seeking medication management, in-office IV or IM ketamine treatment, or support through a difficult season, I want you to feel safe, respected, and empowered.

Hi, I'm Teri! I love integrating my Christian faith and biblical principles with therapeutic interventions. I know for many of us, we have experienced trauma that has left us wounded, and I believe God desires healing and restoration. I help individuals juggling family, work, and relationships while quietly struggling inside. Struggling with past experiences, and sometimes unresolved pain, that is affecting how you feel and function. I want to help you break free from the weight of past trauma so it doesn’t define your present or your future and I’m here to walk with you as you pursue that.

Hi, I'm a licensed therapist who is passionate about helping people navigate life's challenges with confidence and self-compassion. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, relationship concerns, and life transitions. My approach is warm, supportive, and collaborative, and I tailor therapy to each person's unique needs. My goal is to create a safe space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to grow.
