Trauma has a way of staying with you long after the event itself is over. It shows up in the body, as tension, hypervigilance, and exhaustion. It shows up in relationships, as patterns of disconnection, distrust, or conflict that you can't quite explain. It shows up in the mind, as memories, intrusive thoughts, and a nervous system that never fully settled back down.
You may have tried to push through it, told yourself you should be over it by now, or wondered why certain things still affect you so deeply. Trauma doesn't follow a timeline and it doesn't respond to willpower alone. It responds to safety, compassion, and the right kind of support.
Our licensed trauma therapists use evidence-based approaches including EMDR, Brainspotting, Somatic therapy, CBT, and DBT to help clients process what they've been carrying and begin to feel like themselves again. Healing from trauma is possible, and you don't have to do it alone.
Our care team will match you with the right trauma therapist within one business day. In-person and telehealth options are both available.

Clients who feel stuck in survival mode long after something painful happened often find that traditional talk therapy only goes so far. Rebecca brings specialized training in EMDR, trauma-informed care, and depth art therapy, offering a creative and body-based path to healing that reaches what words sometimes can't.

When trauma shows up as constant overthinking, emotional exhaustion, and patterns that won't shift no matter how hard you try, something deeper needs to be addressed. Jasmine uses EMDR, somatic work, mindfulness, and Choice Theory to help clients move out of survival mode and into a life that finally feels grounded and free.

Healing from trauma often starts with finding a therapist you genuinely trust, someone who listens without judgment and moves at your pace. Sierra is an EMDR-trained licensed therapist and Clinical Director whose client-centered approach using CBT, DBT, and motivational interviewing creates exactly that kind of space.

Hailie works with teens and adults navigating the intersection of eating concerns, trauma, anxiety, and recovery. Her collaborative, trauma-informed approach using CBT, DBT, and ACT creates a space where clients can explore what's underneath the behaviors without fear of shame or judgment.

Some trauma lives so deep in the body and nervous system that talk therapy alone can't fully reach it. Traci is a Certified Brainspotting Practitioner who combines this powerful neuroscience-based approach with mindfulness and trauma-informed care to help clients access and process pain that has been stored for a long time.

When self-doubt and perfectionism drive the way someone relates to their body and food, the path forward often starts with rebuilding confidence and self-trust. Milan's warm, solution-focused approach using CBT and mindfulness helps clients develop a healthier relationship with themselves from the inside out.

Hiedi brings deep compassion to clients navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and the weight of patterns that feel impossible to break. Her integrative approach using CBT, DBT, ACT, and solution-focused therapy helps clients shift what isn't working and find their way to something that finally does.

Shame and identity wounds are often at the heart of disordered eating. Kenny's trauma-informed approach using EMDR, ACT, and IFS-informed work helps clients explore the deeper patterns beneath the surface, process what they've been carrying, and begin building self-trust and boundaries rooted in who they truly are.

Morgan brings specialized experience to clients navigating body image concerns, identity, and the complex emotional patterns that often sit beneath disordered eating. Her person-centered approach using CBT, DBT, and family-systems therapy creates a space where clients feel genuinely understood and supported.

We know that reaching out about an eating disorder or body image struggle takes enormous courage. Many people wait a long time before they do. So here is exactly what happens when you contact us, so there are no unknowns standing between you and getting support.
You send us a message or give us a call. Someone from our care coordination team, a real person and not an automated system, will follow up within one business day. They'll have a gentle conversation with you about what you're experiencing and what you're hoping for. There's no pressure to share more than you're ready to share. From there, they'll match you with the therapist who feels like the right fit for your needs, your schedule, and your insurance.
In-person eating disorder therapy is available at our offices in Phoenix, Scottsdale, and Mesa, by appointment only to protect your privacy. Telehealth is available to clients anywhere in Arizona including Tucson, Flagstaff, Prescott, and Yuma.
We accept Aetna, Cigna, United Healthcare, Optum, and BCBS. Not sure if your plan covers therapy? Reach out and we'll verify your benefits before your first appointment. And if you'd like to meet your therapist before committing to a full session, just ask. A free 15-minute consultation is available upon request.
Looking for help, even just reading this page, takes more courage than it might seem. You don't have to have everything figured out. You don't have to know exactly what you need or how to describe what you're going through. You just have to reach out, and we'll take it from there.
