LGBT therapists in Peoria, AZ

I work with adults (18+) and provide individual virtual counseling. I strive to help the people I support gain awareness while incorporating evidence-based practices. Together, we can discover strategies to overcome what might be holding you back from emotional regulation and happiness.

My practice is able to see clients for most mental health diagnoses, utilizing most modalities. I specialize in the treatment of addictions and trauma and my experience in these areas is vast. I most enjoy utilizing IFS, EMDR, and AEPD to address these issues. I am EMDRIA certified in EMDR and IFS level I trained.

Hi, I’m Dr. Arenas Nieves, a licensed therapist in Arizona, Florida, and New York, with over 15 years of experience supporting individuals on their journey toward mental and emotional wellness. I work with adolescents, adults, and seniors, and I’m fluent in both English and Spanish.

Although I’ve worked with many populations throughout my career, my niche includes military service members, veterans, their families, and underrepresented community members such as people of color, neurodivergent individuals, and LGBTQIA+ clients.
