Couples therapists in Tempe, AZ

Hello, I am 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 am fluent in both English and Spanish.

Although I have 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. I specialize in ADHD, family dynamics, LGBTQIA+ identity and exploration, and relationship challenges, as well as anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, anger management, grief and loss, cultural and ethnic concerns, maternal and men's mental health, and chronic conditions.

My style is affirming, inquisitive, and solution-oriented. I aim to create a collaborative, judgment-free space where you feel supported, seen, and empowered to make meaningful change.

It's not easy starting therapy and investing time in yourself, but you've already done the first step! My experience has primarily been focused in clients with eating disorders and co-occurring diagnoses. With that said, I also have extensive experience working with relationship challenges, anxiety, self-harm, and suicidality. I generally like to pull from my knowledge of various therapy modalities such as DBT, CBT, FBT and EFFT. I also really enjoy self-compassion work. Your goals are always my top priority, and I am here to support you every step of the way.

Outside of work, I enjoy live music, spending time with friends, and hanging out with my dogs, Nala and Toni. These personal interests help me stay grounded and bring balance to my life, which I believe is crucial for overall well-being.

If you're ready to take the next step, I'm here to help you navigate your journey towards healing and growth. Let's work together to achieve your goals!

I am an Indigenous, Latina, and Somatic-based therapist from the Sonoran Desert. I am bi-lingual in English and Spanish. Working to remove the barriers that trauma creates is my expertise. I hold my B.F.A in Dance, a Master’s degree in Somatic Psychology/Dance Movement Therapy, and I am EMDR and DARe certified. In my professional career I have worked as an educator and therapist, with over 25 years of experience, serving diverse ethnic and LGBTQ communities. I currently see clients in person in Tucson, Arizona, and I have flexibility in scheduling after the initial consult. I am licensed in Arizona and Colorado. I can see clients via virtual visits in both states.

College and early adulthood can feel exciting and overwhelming at the same time. I work with college students and young adults who are navigating academic pressure, shifting friendships, family expectations, dating, and big life decisions. You might look like you’re managing it all, but inside you feel anxious, unsure of yourself, or constantly comparing where you are to everyone else. Whether you’re struggling with burnout, identity questions, or just trying to figure out your next step, therapy can be a place to slow down and actually breathe.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with a PsyD in Behavioral Health Leadership and Industrial/Organizational Psychology. I primarily work with adolescents and young adults, often incorporating family members to improve communication and relational patterns. I also work with professionals and athletes to strengthen mindset, reduce stress, and enhance performance using principles from mental performance and organizational psychology. My approach integrates CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and trauma-informed care to help clients build resilience, self-awareness, and meaningful, lasting growth.

There’s already so much in the world to feel stressed about. Relationship struggles don’t need to add to that weight. I love helping couples and individuals navigate relational distress. After working as an engineer for 10 years, I transitioned into therapy. I bring a blend of analytic and empathetic skills into the therapy room. My approach is laid-back, and I enjoy incorporating humor into sessions. I’ve been practicing for nearly 15 years, focusing on adults and couples.

As a board certified psychotherapist, I believe prioritizing mental health is key to happiness and stability in life. Seeking help can be one of the hardest parts, so congratulations on taking that step! I’ve been practicing for 10 years, I work with a plethora of inter-generational clients aged 21-90 who are struggling with anxiety and depression and trauma.

As a chaplain, I take a psycho-spiritual approach and work with clients assisting with intercultural issues, blended family dynamics, religiosity challenges and grief & loss.

I was born and raised in the Chicagoland area. My undergraduate B.A and graduate M.A. training took place at Wheaton College. Following graduate school in the midwest, I moved to the west coast, where I attended the California School of Professional Psychology. Here, I earned a M.A in applied psychology and Psy. D. in clinical psychology with a dual emphasis in forensics and family therapy. My research consisted of working with high risk sexual offenders. Following my time on the west coast, I worked as a Staff Psychologist and Assistant Professor at a local university. In my free time, I train in combat arts and play guitar (try at least ;-).

I am a master’s-level licensed psychotherapist providing therapy for adults ages 20 to 93 for more than 20 years. I help individuals and families navigate life’s challenges with clarity, compassion, and practical tools for change. I specialize in trauma, substance use, and relationship dynamics, and I strive to create a space where you feel safe, heard, and understood. I believe healing begins with honest, conscious communication—starting within and extending to others—and my focus is helping you move forward with greater confidence and purpose.
