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.

Dr. Courtney Chettle

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Phoenix, AZ


I’m Dr. Courtney Chettle, a Licensed Professional Counselor and Board Approved Clinical Supervisor, based in Arizona. I specialize in helping adults who are navigating trauma, substance use, anxiety, burnout, neurodivergence, identity exploration, and life transitions. I know how heavy life can feel when you’re carrying old wounds, coping silently, or feeling disconnected from who you really are. You don’t have to do it alone.

I bring 14 years of experience in the behavioral health field, including 6 years as a licensed clinician and several more as a Board Approved Clinical Supervisor. I work with people who are ready to make real, lasting changes, people who want to heal, grow, and feel more like themselves again.

As someone who is in recovery and a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community and neurodivergent individual who has had to navigate life from that lens, I offer a space where you don’t have to explain who you are, where you’ve been, or why it is hard. You’ll be met with respect, empathy, and understanding. My clients often say they feel truly seen, supported, and empowered in our work together.

Therapist

Virtual • Arizona


Hello! I am a quirky black nerd or “blerd” who is a member of the LGBTQIA+ community and I am passionate about mental wellness. As a member of many marginalized demographics, I understand the importance and impact of intersectionality not just on the macro level through laws and policies but also in the day to day. As an LCSW I graduated in 2018 from Arizona State University with a Masters in Social Work Magna Cum Laude and with my Bachelors in Psychology with minor in Sociology Magna Cum Laude from the University of Arizona in 2013. I have worked in behavioral health my whole adult life thus far. I seek to lead with non judgement, empathy and humor to connect with others. I am a semi recreationally retired athlete (rugby and basketball), massive lover of dogs, kite flying, ocean drums and “hot takes”. I look forward to connecting and ultimately helping you move forward on your healing journey in life.

Magdalena Lopez-Alsyouf

Therapist

Virtual • Arizona


As a Licensed Professional Counselor with over a decade of experience in community behavioral health and trauma-informed care, I bring both professional knowledge and genuine empathy into my sessions. I earned my Master’s degree from Grand Canyon University and have spent years supporting adults, adolescents, and families through times of transition, recovery, and growth.

My work is deeply shaped by witnessing the resilience of the human spirit—how healing becomes possible when we feel seen, supported, and safe to explore what hurts. I understand that therapy is both a brave and vulnerable step, and my intention is to create a space where you can show up as you are and begin reconnecting with your own strength and direction.

Cass Moores Kristensen

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Arizona


I work with teenagers and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and body-related concerns. I believe that mental health is deeply connected to the body, and that lasting healing happens when we care for both. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and integrative, recognizing that each person's experiences, strengths, and goals are unique.

Living with my own long-term health challenges has shaped the way I practice. It has strengthened my belief that our emotional and physical well-being are inseparable and has deepened my commitment to helping others find meaningful, sustainable paths toward healing.

I strive to create a safe, inclusive, and affirming space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered. I welcome people of all genders, identities, backgrounds, and lived experiences, and I tailor treatment to meet your individual needs and values.

I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and Family Nurse Practitioner with a background in Anthropology, which informs my appreciation for the biological, psychological, social, and cultural factors that influence mental health. I completed a fellowship in Integrative Reproductive Mental Healthcare and am currently pursuing advanced fellowship training in Nutritional Psychiatry and Ketamine-Assisted Therapy. I have also trained in gender-affirming care and am committed to providing evidence-based, inclusive care that honors each person's unique journey.
