LGBT therapists in Goodyear, AZ

My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and practical. I pull from cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to help you understand patterns in your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, but I also lean into a humanistic style, meaning I see you as a whole person, not just a diagnosis or a set of symptoms.

I believe therapy should feel like a safe, judgment-free space where you can show up as you are. Whether we’re exploring your relationships, working through anxiety or depression, or identifying what really matters to you, my goal is to support your growth with curiosity, care, and clarity.

I also value realness, I’ll challenge you when it’s helpful, offer insight when you're stuck, and celebrate the progress you might overlook. You're the expert on your life; I’m here to help you reconnect with that truth and build the kind of change that lasts.

Welcome and congratulations on taking this step! I work with individuals who struggle with self-image, anxiety, depression, and self-motivation. I have been practicing for over 8 years. I will work with you to find your strengths and aid in building with you from there.

As a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner (PMHNP-BC), I use holistic, person-centered care to diagnose, prescribe medications, and provide therapy in a practical and evidence-based way. I enjoy working with adults, adolescents, and children who have been holding a lot together while feeling overwhelmed, lonely, anxious, or shut down on the inside. My specialized areas include trauma and trauma-related disorders, including personality and dissociative disorders, as well as autism, ADHD, and bipolar disorders. I enjoy helping others to reach their fullest potential and best life possible. So contact me if you're ready to feel steady, empowered, sleep better, think clearly, and stop reacting in survival mode so you can show up for work, relationships, and yourself.

Early morning, evening, and weekend appointments are available. Contact the office directly to find a time that works for you.

I'm Rachael Colley, a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner specializing in psychiatric medication management with a practical, skills-based approach. Every visit goes beyond a prescription check. We will work together so you leave each appointment with a clear medication plan and concrete strategies you can actually use in your daily life.

My background as a nurse and former educator shapes how I practice: I explain things clearly, I involve you in every decision, and I focus on what works in real life, not just what looks good on paper.

Who I work with

I see adults, teens, and children, with a particular focus on ADHD, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, perinatal and postpartum mental health, and binge eating disorder. I provide neurodiversity-affirming care and have a strong interest in supporting people who are navigating a late diagnosis, including the relief of finally having answers and the practical work of figuring out next steps.
