Compassion Focused Therapists in Gilbert, AZ

Maybe the stable ground of your life has suddenly fallen apart...the world you've relied on and found comfort in is now unpredictable, scary, too big to handle, and you don't know which way to turn. Or maybe life has felt this way for quite some time - you're struggling in your daily affairs, not really comfortable in your relationships, often seeking escape from big emotions and that incessant inner critic, and wondering why you never received "life's little instruction book" like everyone else around you. Whatever your reason for being here, now, the bottom line is...you're hurting, life is hard and you need a solution.

Hello, my name is Deb Hilton, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and work at Total Life Counseling in Gilbert, AZ. I am experienced in techniques to help diminish anxiety, depression, panic attacks and other matters that hinder daily functioning. I honor my client’s vision of how they want to live their lives and support them in achieving that vision. I help my clients build relationships and end destructive ones. I can help you learn to say yes to the things you want and no to the things you don’t. I believe we are not a symptom or a label, but we are worthy individuals living our best selves with limitless possibilities.

Are you worried all the time? I work with people who are worried all the time. Are you experiencing fear, stress, loss, trauma, depression, insecurity, relational struggles, and lack of joy?

I have experience working with individuals managing lives touched with mood and anxiety disorders, including depression and bipolar; grief; domestic violence (offenders and victims); physical, emotional and sexual abuse; custody issues; family reunification; marriage/relationship hurdles; problem sexual behavior; borderline personality disorder/characteristics; PTSD; ADD/ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder and other sensory disorders; death and dying; caretaking of ill and aging family members; and life change events, i.e. anything that is a positive change, but also brings with it fear, doubt and lots of unknowns.

I believe in the words of Eckhart Tolle, "If you get the inside right, the outside will fall into place." We all have stories and backgrounds that shape us and our perspectives on the world. We also have innate abilities within us to overcome obstacles to experience transformation, self-actualization and growth. What an honor it is to walk alongside my clients as they nurture and empower this inner strength by identifying and addressing the roots, by gaining acceptance and awareness, and by changing core beliefs and behavior, ultimately leading to a life filled with sustainable serenity, purpose and meaning.

Do you find yourself struggling to keep afloat, noticing that despite all your work something's missing? Are you always pushing for more and more, wondering when you'll finally be “good enough," yet that inner critic still says you're insignificant, bad, broken, or just "wrong?" I would like to help you break that cycle. I specialize in supporting high-achieving adults to harness the compassion and power within themselves to live their dreams and chase their goals, all while feeling whole and fulfilled. I understand that self-doubt, comparison, and criticism are powerful forces that can take a serious toll on your mental health.

♡ YOU BELONG HERE ♡ ..........................................................................……...…… It takes courage to ask for help, especially when you’re hurting. Maybe it feels like no one understands. Maybe it feels like no one cares. Maybe it feels like life is too much. Maybe you just need someone to listen, or guide, with love. Here. We. Are.

Healing is messy, and it’s also beautiful! You may feel stuck in a cycle that’s painful and no longer serves you, or you have a desire to look further inward. No matter the reason that brought you, I am glad you are here. It is 100% okay to ask for help, no matter what people have told you. Challenges are inevitable in life and are often a cue to action. When challenges go unresolved or unaddressed, they may get in the way of how you feel about yourself. The good news is there are many things you can learn and unlearn about yourself and the world you live in. I will support you through that learning and healing process.

Accepting Clients -Hi there! Do you need help but can't or don't know how to ask for it? Do you feel like you are drowning, struggling, and unmotivated? Do you not recognize yourself anymore? Do you miss the person you used to be? If you're here and reading this, you know that it's ok to need help. But, chances are you are usually the one to do everything for everyone else.

I am here to help, and have been helping people find their way for over two decades.

Here we go again - that's what you think as you roll your eyes because you and your partner have just gotten in a fight for the umpteenth time that day and it ends yet again with either a) them shutting down and zeroing in on their phones or b) them verbally diarrhea-ing all over you (sorry, I know that's a pretty graphic descriptor, but you get the point, right?) And what happens next when things have supposedly calmed down? Nothing - that's the problem, right? Nothing has happened and you so desperately want a change because you're sick of the same problems and the same fights and the same stupid phone getting in the way.
