Elizabeth Coldiron

Elizabeth Coldiron

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 12 mi away • Scottsdale, AZ


I work with people who feel caught between who they've been and who they're becoming. Many of my clients are navigating trauma, identity shifts, major life transitions, or a longing to feel more connected to themselves and the people around them. Often, they arrive feeling overwhelmed by change, weighed down by old roles or patterns, and uncertain about what comes next.

My goal is to create a space where you can slow down, explore what you're carrying, and begin moving toward a life that feels more authentic, grounded, and aligned with who you are.

Venessa Thompson

Venessa Thompson

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual & in-person • 11 mi away • Phoenix, AZ


My approach to care integrates psychotherapy with medication management. I provide therapy for patients whose psychiatric medications I also manage, allowing for a coordinated and personalized treatment plan that supports both emotional and medical aspects of mental health.

With over 20 years of experience as a Women’s Health Nurse Practitioner and now as a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, I am deeply committed to delivering compassionate, comprehensive care tailored to each individual’s unique needs. My approach integrates physical and mental health to support the whole person.

I specialize in:

  • Mental health evaluations and medication management
  • Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) for substance use disorders
  • Gender-affirming hormone therapy

I am dedicated to creating a safe, respectful space where all individuals feel heard, supported, and empowered on their journey to wellness.

Sleep is one of the most vital components of both mental and physical well-being. I’m passionate about helping people improve their sleep quality through evidence-based, personalized care. I provide in-depth diagnosis and treatment for a wide range of sleep disorders, with a special focus on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I)—the gold standard, non-medication approach to treating chronic insomnia. Whether you're struggling to fall asleep, stay asleep, or wake up feeling refreshed, I’m here to help you reclaim restful, restorative sleep.

You can contact me at [email protected] with questions.

Dr. Courtney Chettle

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 20 mi away • Phoenix, AZ


I’m Dr. Courtney Chettle, a Licensed Professional Counselor and Board Approved Clinical Supervisor, based in Arizona. I specialize in helping adults who are navigating trauma, substance use, anxiety, burnout, neurodivergence, identity exploration, and life transitions. I know how heavy life can feel when you’re carrying old wounds, coping silently, or feeling disconnected from who you really are. You don’t have to do it alone.

I bring 14 years of experience in the behavioral health field, including 6 years as a licensed clinician and several more as a Board Approved Clinical Supervisor. I work with people who are ready to make real, lasting changes, people who want to heal, grow, and feel more like themselves again.

As someone who is in recovery and a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community and neurodivergent individual who has had to navigate life from that lens, I offer a space where you don’t have to explain who you are, where you’ve been, or why it is hard. You’ll be met with respect, empathy, and understanding. My clients often say they feel truly seen, supported, and empowered in our work together.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right LGBTQ-friendly therapy provider for you

Headway makes it easier to connect with affirming therapists who understand your identity — from finding the right therapist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Gilbert

Finding an LGBTQIA+-affirming provider in Gilbert starts with identifying what kind of support matters most to you. For some, identity exploration, coming out, or navigating family and cultural expectations may be central to therapy. For others, the focus may be on anxiety, depression, relationships, or stress — with the confidence that your provider respects and affirms who you are without requiring explanation. Both are valid starting points.

Look for a licensed provider — such as an LPC, LCSW, psychologist, or psychiatrist — who has specific experience with LGBTQIA+ concerns. Reading detailed provider bios can help you understand their approach, style, and areas of focus before reaching out. A free phone consultation is another way to gauge whether a provider feels like the right fit.

Therapy in the Gilbert area can be expensive without coverage, but affordable options exist when you use insurance. Many in-network providers in Arizona accept major plans, and confirming your coverage before your first session can help you avoid unexpected costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs upfront — so you know what to expect before you commit.
