Hello! Thank you for your interest in exploring improving your quality of life! A little bit about myself, I have been a practicing clinician for over 9 years, now. I have a great deal of experience and enjoy helping individuals face their addictions and other co-occurring issues. While I have many years of experience in working with addiction and mental health, I have personal experience as well. So, I am definitely able to empathize with many struggles, accross the board. I am also not fully, but intermediately bilingual. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you! If my bookings are full, please send me a private message, I may still have openings.

Hi. My name is Christine and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. Originally from New Jersey, currently in the sunny state of Arizona. I attended Rutgers's University to obtain a Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. Life can become challenging at times. My passion is helping people through their struggles and getting back to a better quality of life.

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with extensive experience across inpatient psychiatry, crisis stabilization, substance use treatment, residential care, intensive outpatient programs, and outpatient medication management. My background has given me the opportunity to work with individuals facing depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, PTSD, ADHD, substance use concerns, mood instability, sleep problems, and life transitions.

Clients often describe my style as calm, direct, supportive, and easy to talk to. I believe mental health care should feel collaborative, respectful, and practical. My goal is to help clients better understand what they are experiencing, explore treatment options, and build a plan that supports real improvement in daily life.

I have a strong interest in treatment-resistant depression, interventional psychiatry, and evidence-based medication management, while also recognizing that each person’s story, goals, and values matter just as much as symptoms or diagnoses.

I have the strong belief that the journey towards healing starts within an accepting environment, where you're free to explore all areas of yourself that compose of who you are. My approach to therapy revolves around the impact of life experiences and the power of the therapeutic relationship. I work with clients who may be struggling with feeling stuck in life's patterns or other issues. We will explore your inner world, helping you connect with who you really are and develop the tools to thrive.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over a decade of experience providing individual and family therapy to children, adolescents and adults. My clinical background includes work with anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, foster care youth, and individual navigating high-stress life transitions.

As a bilingual therapist (English and Haitian Creole), I am especially passionate about supporting individuals and families within multicultural communities where mental health may be misunderstood or stigmatized. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered to grow.

My name is Janet VanScoyk, I studied at the University of Wyoming where I graduated with my master's in social work. Soon after I graduated, we moved to Arizona, and I have been practicing in the Gila Valley for the past 10 years.

Whatever the reason you are here...know that I am here to help you through it. I use a supportive, direct, empathetic and nonjudgmental approach in therapy. I have 16 years experience and primarily use CBT and EMDR approaches. I work hard to ensure you feel comfortable and safe and will help you meet your goals. Looking forward to meeting you!
