I have found my own personal healing to be intimately connected to nature, and it is here that I believe that we can all begin to rediscover our intrinsic humanity and let go of those things that distract us from our higher selves. In my spare time, I work as an outdoor educator and manage my own private practice and guide Outdoor Retreats

I believe it is helpful and important to translate what is discussed in session and in telehealth meetings into lived experience and real change.

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 Phoenix

Finding the right LGBTQIA+-affirming therapist in Phoenix starts with knowing what kind of support you're looking for. Some people seek a provider who shares their identity or has lived experience within the LGBTQIA+ community. Others prioritize a specific specialty — like anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, gender identity, or trauma. Both approaches are valid, and many providers on Headway bring a combination of professional training and personal understanding to their practice.

Phoenix and the surrounding metro area — including Scottsdale, Tempe, Mesa, Chandler, and Glendale — are home to a wide range of licensed therapists, psychologists, and psychiatrists who provide affirming care. When reviewing a provider's profile, look for details about their therapeutic approach, the populations they work with, and whether they offer virtual or in-person sessions. A provider's bio can tell you a lot about their style and whether they may be a good match.

Therapy in Phoenix can be costly without insurance, but in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay per session. On Headway, you can enter your insurance information to see estimated costs before you book. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Every provider listed is accepting new patients, so you can move forward on your timeline.
