VIRTUAL ONLY

Works with adolescents and adults ages 13 +

Hi, I’m Krista! I hold a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Grand Canyon University. My passions include helping folks who struggle with anxiety, depression, life changes, relationship conflict, or trauma.
This includes issues with coping, struggles in school/work, difficulties with boundaries and healthy relationships, trauma-informed care for victims of childhood trauma, sexual violence. or domestic violence, overall life fulfillment, and many others. I work in a variety of modalities including DBT, CBT, and art therapy. I am also trained in EMDR for those that are interested. I believe that one of the bravest things that you can do, is to advocate for yourself. This can also be one of the most challenging things. If you find yourself feeling stuck or in need of support, therapy may be the boost that you need! In my sessions, I aim to create a space that is both comforting and collaborative to facilitate support, validation, and grace. As a client, you are the expert in your life, and with some guidance and support, you are able to achieve the goals that you set out for yourself. Reaching out for help can be a challenging step, but I hope you take a moment to be proud of yourself for doing so. I look forward to hearing from you and working with you!

My name is Carly and I am a Licensed Associate Counselor (LAC) in Arizona. I received my Bachelor’s degree in Justice Studies and Sociology from Arizona State University, a Master’s in Forensic Psychology from Argosy University, and my Master’s in Professional Counseling from Grand Canyon University.

I primarily work with teens, adults, elder adults (65+), couples, and families who are struggling or are in need of additional support. I have been working in the mental health field for over 10 years mostly assisting people in crisis situations, and working with local police and fire departments responding to 911 calls involving mental health related issues. I have experience helping people with depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, suicidal ideations, as well as grief and loss. I know that life can be difficult and sometimes it is easy to lose hope when you do not have the proper tools and support. Whether you are experiencing anxiety from a traumatic event(s), having relational issues with your partner or family, or are grieving the tragic loss of a loved one, I understand the importance in providing my clients with empathy and compassion. My goals as your counselor, are to help guide and support you in becoming the person you want and deserve to be and working together in resolving the issues that are holding you back from doing so. I am dedicated in providing you with the safe and supportive environment you need so that you can begin to pick yourself back up and move forward with a healthier mental state and skills.

Some therapy techniques I have experience in are: Solution Focused, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Emotionally Focused, Motivational Interviewing, and Person-Centered Therapy.

Meghan Cassidy, LPC Owner, Clinical Supervisor

480-493-5799 

CURRENTLY NOT ACCEPTING CLIENTS

Meghan is a Certified EMDR therapist. She received her Bachelor’s degree in Psychology at Grand Canyon University and her Master’s in Counseling at Ottawa University. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor with experience in working with adolescents and adults.

I understand that emotional health and relationships are important to maintaining multiple aspects of our lives. Psychological pain can lead to a variety of physical and emotional symptoms interfering with our daily functioning, such as anxiety, depression, and relational problems. As a therapist, I am dedicated to assist an individual in alleviating their personal pain, suffering, or difficulties. I believe that every client with whom I work deserves to be treated with personalized care, compassion, and understanding. This perspective helps a client to open up and trying new ways to manage life’s challenges.

Although I provide psychotherapy for a wide range of problem areas including depression and anxiety, I specialize in the psychological treatment of trauma with both male and female clients. Trauma impacts our lives by triggering unpleasant and terrorizing memories, interfering with our ability to be in satisfying relationships with others, and by compromising our ability to manage daily life stressors.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a widely researched and proven approach for the treatment of trauma. Using EMDR I will assist an individual in understanding the impact of trauma in the here and now, managing the symptoms related to this impact, improving emotional regulation to decrease the feeling of overwhelm and/or chaos in their life, and improving overall relational functioning.
