Feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or worried about your child or family? I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with 20+ years of experience helping children, parents, and caregivers through big feelings and life changes. As a former elementary school counselor and certified K–12 art teacher, I understand the school, social, and family pressures kids and teens face.

As a counselor, I approach therapy through a humanistic lens—believing in each person’s inherent capacity for growth, self-awareness, and change. I strive to create a space where clients feel deeply seen, heard, and valued for who they are. My work is grounded in cultural humility and respect, honoring the unique identities, experiences, and stories that shape each person’s life. Together, we explore meaning, build resilience, and move toward greater authenticity and well-being.

Welcome! I'm John Ely - formally John N. Ely, Ph.D., LPC, informally "John" or "Doc". I hold an earned doctorate in Counseling granted by Marquette University in 1980 and have over 40 years of experience and psychotherapy. I'm essentially a general practitioner but with somewhat of a specialty in treating anxiety and trauma; I'm also comfortable with treating adolescents, couples and families and with facilitating recovery from substance abuse and addiction.

I’m Lauren, an LCSW with a deep commitment to helping individuals and families heal, grow, and thrive. My style is warm, collaborative, and flexible—drawn from over 15 years of experience working with children, adolescents, young adults, and families in a variety of settings, including childcare centers, hospitals, homes, and clinical offices.

My work is grounded in the belief that behavior is communication—and through unpacking trauma and building emotional insight, we can begin to rewrite the stories that hold us back. I specialize in helping clients build self-awareness, improve relationships, and discover their inner resilience.

Throughout my career, I’ve also partnered closely with systems such as DCS, DES, probation, DDD, and the court system. This experience helps me provide informed, holistic care that considers the broader context of my clients’ lives. I draw from a wide range of modalities to ensure each client’s unique needs are met with compassion and clarity.

Working with me means being met with kindness, honesty, and unwavering support. I believe that you are the expert in your own life—and my role is to help you access the insight, tools, and strength already within you.

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.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor based in Arizona, specializing in trauma, attachment, substance use, and psychedelic integration. I hold a Master’s in Clinical Psychology and am currently completing my PhD in Transpersonal Psychology, where my research focuses on inner healing intelligence, somatic integration, and transformation through altered states of consciousness.

My approach is both grounded and deeply experiential. I integrate somatic therapy, parts work, mindfulness, and attachment-focused interventions to help clients move beyond insight and into real, embodied change. I believe that healing doesn’t come from fixing what’s “wrong,” but from reconnecting with the innate intelligence within you that already knows how to heal.

I work well with clients who feel stuck in patterns they can’t think their way out of—whether that’s anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship struggles, or cycles of substance use. Many of my clients are high-functioning but internally overwhelmed, disconnected, or carrying unresolved emotional pain. Together, we create a space that is honest, supportive, and sometimes challenging—in the service of real growth.

I also specialize in integration work for individuals exploring or recovering from psychedelic experiences. I help clients make meaning of these experiences and translate insights into sustainable, grounded change in their daily lives.

In our work together, you can expect a balance of compassion and accountability. I’ll meet you where you are, but I’ll also help you move forward. My goal is to support you in building a life that feels aligned, regulated, and genuinely yours—not just one that looks okay on the outside.
