At different points in our lives, we may find ourselves navigating difficult waters. These periods are tender and sacred, and having the light and guidance of a therapist can be healing in many ways. I have a genuine interest in getting to know you and holding a warm, gentle, nonjudgmental space for you to explore yourself. I am curious about the identities you embody and how these identities intersect and dance within a larger context of family, community, culture, and social systems.

Welcome, I am Alynn Cauldwell, LMFT and I believe in the power of healing and transformation. I have 20 years of experience as a therapist and I am dedicated to guiding individuals on their journey towards overcoming trauma, anxiety, depression, substance abuse, and many other mental health challenges. My approach is holistic and tailored to meet the unique needs of each client, integrating a range of therapeutic modalities to foster healing and growth. I am EMDR certified and prefer a collaborative journey with clients to help them reclaim inner peace and rediscover resilience. I am here for you. Call or email today.

Dr. Gail Billings-Beck is glad to work with individuals facing transitions in life. She also enjoys work with couples, both gay and straight. Her theoretical background is based on the work of Alfred Adler, and her approach is individualized to the needs presented by each client. She specializes in self-esteem, anxiety and depression, anger management, addiction, aging and death and dying issues. Communication skills, including tone, are significant tools most of us can benefit from. Sometimes EMDR and/or hypnotherapy techniques are used to help deal with past trauma. Psychotherapy with Dr. Gail helps clients regain perspective and balance, managing anger and practicing calming, self-soothing exercises. Increased self-awareness helps make healthy choices possible. Healthy choices quickly improve energy and focus which leads to positive growth.

When we talk about our sexuality, it can be challenging. We might feel embarrassed or judged, so the topic just isn’t broached- especially if some issues are going on with what you’re feeling and/or dealing within yourself around this area of your life. I want my nonjudgmental space for open dialogue to help pave the way toward making changes necessary to thrive again! Therapy is about so much more than just knowing what’s going on; it’s also about understanding and creating a compassionate space to explore your feelings and thoughts. By working together, we can explore your past experiences and collaborate on how to move forward.

I've been fascinated with how people change and don't change over the last 30 years. There is some stickiness in ourselves and others I think we'd all like to feel the power to transform. I've realized that fears about the sense of self not being good enough, lovable, or valuable knock us out of our connection to our internal core values, right in the moment where our core values would transform the situation. Contemplate when you let yourself down and don't follow through with what you know you want to do. Reflect on the times you've needed compassion and only received an evaluation. How would you change all this stickiness?

I love working with women who want to move beyond trauma, anxiety, narcissistic abuse (parent/authoritarian only-not romantic) and I enjoy working with women who have children/adult children with exceptional needs. I believe that with effort, consistency and the right tools, people can not just survive but thrive. I am licensed in both California and Arizona. I am a international Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy therapist, having completed extensive training at Oxford University in England. I have been a therapist for over 35 years and I have trained in many, many modalities.

Hello! My focus in my practice is working with teens, young adults (20s-30s), and LGBTQ individuals on a variety of difficult topics. I use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to work through trauma. Whether you are a teen struggling with depression, self-harm, or anxiety. Or an identified LGBTQ adult or young adult dealing with issues such as past trauma, relationship stressors, or phase of life difficulties/transitions. My goal is to offer you a safe space to openly express and explore these specific areas, and to obtain the results you are looking for with the intent of living an enriched life.

Feeling anxious and overwhelmed? Afraid you are not measuring up at work or at home? Perhaps you have experienced past trauma and feel like it is holding you back from accomplishing what you wanted to in your life. You have tried to deal with these issues on your own with mixed or disappointing results. Maybe you have even been through therapy before. I can help. I specialize in EMDR therapy and Brainspotting that go deeper than traditional talk therapy to heal the roots of these issues. Want to get rid of depression or anxiety for good? Get off of psychiatric medication? Get your creativity and lust for life back? Read on!

At time, life provides us with the opportunities that enable us to grow and accomplish. However, at times it also presents itself in the form of a challenge. These life events can take a toll on our mental health and leave us feeling hopeless, unmotivated, lost, and stuck. I am passionate and confident in my ability to make a difference in the life of my clients. Having been through many touch patches myself, I understand well the importance of regaining one's own sense of purpose, strength, and dignity. I have experiences working with both children and adults using individual and family therapy modalities.

It's my goal to create a safe, loving, and nonjudgmental place where you can openly and honestly talk about things you may not even talk to your friends about. The goals of my work are to assist you in resolving conflicts and becoming more self-aware. It is my belief that each of us has the inner resources we need to resolve our issues and together we will uncover solutions to fit your individual situation.

Have you discovered that your spouse or partner has been unfaithful, using porn compulsively, or has been engaging in any other sexual or addictive behaviors that are concerning? Have you discovered inappropriate text messages or emails on your partner's phone or computer? If you answered yes to any of the above you may be feeling overwhelmed, betrayed, and confused about what to do next. You will need a safe space to explore your emotions and thoughts.I believe you will need time to sort through your emotions and make decisions that are healthy for you and your family.

I am glad you are here! It can take time to share one’s feelings or identify them, and I create a safe environment that allows my clients to express themselves, feel, connect, and grow in self-awareness. Working alongside anyone seeking healing and growth is a gift and privilege. If you are looking for someone who can walk alongside you and help process what lies beneath the surface, I would be honored to be that person. For those interested in utilizing EMDR to recover from trauma or difficult experiences, I am EMDR-trained through EMDRIA.

I welcome clients of all ethnicities, sexual identities, religious/spiritual belief systems and socioeconomic status' who are struggling with something in their lives that is making it hard to engage in interpersonal and/or other relationships. This could include difficulty functioning in your romantic partnerships, occupational/educational duties, family systems, and, most importantly, your relationship with yourself. Whether you want to heal from something in the past, learn how to be fully present and confident in your life today, or set yourself up for success in the future, no goal is too small.

As a therapist and clinical counselor, I help to hold the weight of anxiety, trauma, depression, and relational conflict, and encourage self acceptance. There is beauty in showing up for yourself, and bravery in turning towards struggle. When we deny our struggle, we deny a part of us that is longing to be seen. Struggle and suffering are hard to face, as it often leaves us feeling broken. Many of us were never taught to embrace our flaws and imperfections. What if we could see the broken pieces of ourselves, the parts of us that are scarred, and view them with compassion? What if we saw our scars as marks of courage and resiliency?

I work with individuals who struggle with excessive worrying, overthinking, and restlessness, trauma, anxiety, OCD, ADHD, as well as those who generally just want to improve their lives. I also work with couples who want to improve their communication and conflict skills and be more loving toward each other. I work best with clients who are wanting to grow and are willing to look inward to develop a deeper, more profound sense of self.

Congratulations on taking the first step toward emotional healing and reclaiming your inner power. There is a misconception that something is wrong with us if we need therapy. But the truth is that humans need other humans; we thrive in community and support. Therapy is a place to find support, to go inward and connect with yourself. My framework of practice is eclectic, using CBT, trauma-focused and culturally sensitive interventions, mindfulness and a systems approach—together we can find a more hopeful future & start living more fully in the present moment as you regain agency in your life.

I have a holistic view to therapy. One's physical and mental wellbeing are tied together. Every client has the strength to be whole. I work as a coach to help the client work thru those issues and concerns that are stopping their growth. The client determines the agenda and how many sessions as needed. I have over 20 years of experience as a therapist. I also have vast experience working with psychosis and mood disorders. As well as personal issues such as grieving and loss.
