Julie A. Armstrong

Therapist

Virtual • Arizona


I have extensive experience working with families—including both birth and foster families—involved in DCS care, as well as individuals navigating substance use and mental health challenges such as depression, anxiety, and grief. Through this work, I have supported clients in managing complex family dynamics, coping with loss and transition, and building skills to support long-term stability and well-being.

Most recently, I worked in a primary care setting, where I gained a deeper understanding of the connection between physical and mental health. This experience has strengthened my awareness of how chronic health conditions can impact emotional well-being, stress levels, and overall quality of life. I integrate this perspective into my work, helping clients address both the emotional and practical aspects of living with ongoing health challenges.

Courtney Daniel

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Arizona


Hello! My name is Courtney Daniel. I am a board certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP-BC). I graduated from Wilkes University with my Master's of Science in Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing. I also hold a Bachelor's of Science in Nursing and a Bachelor's of Science in Psychology.

I believe that healing looks different for everyone, and there is no one-size-fits-all approach. I believe in meeting you exactly where you are. I take a collaborative approach, which means we work through things together. Medication can be a helpful tool when it’s needed, but it’s not the only piece of the process. We’ll also focus on building and strengthening coping skills so you feel more confident day to day.

Above all, my goal is to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and accepted without judgment. Thank you for trusting me with your care.

I provide telehealth psychiatric services to people living in Arizona. I work with children ages 6 and up, adolescents, and adults. I specialize in treating mood disorders including depression, anxiety and bipolar, as well as ADHD, OCD, schizophrenia, PTSD, postpartum depression, and more.

Sirenna Meza

Sirenna Meza

Therapist

Virtual • Phoenix, AZ


I’m not just a therapist who studied resilience; I’ve lived it.

I am a multi-racial Latina born and raised in South Phoenix, Arizona, a community rich in culture, strength, survival, and deep ancestral roots. I am a proud product of the very neighborhoods, schools, and systems that shaped me, challenged me, and ultimately called me into this work.

My journey has not been one of privilege or perfection. Like many women in our communities, I know what it means to navigate generational expectations, cultural identity, survival mode, trauma, self-doubt, and the weight of carrying responsibilities at a young age.

Today, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), Board-Certified Clinical Supervisor, bilingual clinician (English & Spanish), entrepreneur, mother, mentor, speaker, and culturally rooted healer.

My approach to therapy is trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and grounded in integrating evidence-based practices with deep respect for identity, community, spirituality, intergenerational healing, and the lived realities of navigating this world as a person of color.

I have extensive experience supporting BIPOC communities, women, teens, first- and second-generation professionals, individuals impacted by incarceration, court-involved clients, young mothers, helpers, leaders, and those carrying silent burdens while appearing “strong” on the outside.
