Sun Lakes Therapists specializing in Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

Michelle Gilreath

My clients are chaos gremlins holding it together with dry shampoo and sarcasm. They’re crushing it at work while having a full meltdown in the Target parking lot. Overthinking? Constant. Burnout? Absolutely. If your brain feels like a feral cat in a cardboard box, welcome. We untangle the mess and figure out how to function without yeeting ourselves into the sun.

Majo Birdsall

I help individuals struggling with trauma, grief, and relationship challenges. Many of my clients navigate childhood wounds, family dynamics, or the pain of losing a loved one, miscarriage, or infertility. Together, through trauma-informed therapy, we'll develop a plan tailored to your needs, helping you process pain, rebuild a sense of safety, and move forward with hope.

Shannon Crawford-West

Are you tired, burnt out, or experiencing the fight or flight rollercoaster ? Do you feel the weight of the world or needs of others on your shoulders? Maybe you've used all your super powers to survive, but are not thriving. Anxiety and perfectionism can make life feel impossible. What helps anxiety can make depression feel worse. Coping by isolating, avoiding, dissociating, eating (and I don't mean broccoli) are just tools that may have worked temporarily in the past. No more! You can be free.

Michael Johnson

You ever feel like cocooning? You know, when you just want to shut out the world. For many it happens when relating to others feels draining, work is no longer fulfilling, or when it’s hard to feel good about anything. Life feels so heavy that it’s as if there’s no way out. This is how depression and anxiety can feel.

Ali Siewert

Being human is often tough. Sometimes we lose our way and can feel stuck and overwhelmed. Sometimes we would like to change parts of our lives or ourselves but don’t know how. Therapy can be an empowering way to promote healing, growth, and wellness. Often, we initially seek treatment to address a specific concern and then begin to uncover other areas of our lives in which we want to make meaningful change. My goal is for this process to feel supportive, affirming, and appropriately challenging.

I help my client's feel heard, rediscover their power, learn how to build a community of support, and reframe narratives to make it easier to move forward in life.

Are you struggling with symptoms of Anxiety, Depression, Anger, ADHD or PTSD related to relationships with friends or family members? During our initial sessions, while building rapport, we will investigate issues at hand, and collaborate to develop treatment goals/objectives for addressing them. Establishing safety and stabilization of symptoms is typically one of the first goals. My clients see a gradual lifting of symptoms within the first month and sustained improvement thereafter.

Current evening appointments available! After 15 years working in some of the biggest agencies and outpatient clinics in Arizona, I know what works and what doesn't. Everyone is unique and there's no 'one size fits all' solution. The only 'right' way is the way that works for you.

Amanda Leno

Our clients come from a wide range of backgrounds but all have one thing in common - they've made a step in a direction to better themselves. Some have been in therapy for years and just need to check in once periodically while some are in crisis and needing more intensive support. Regardless of the level of severity of need everyone deserves to be heard and understood so that they can be and do better.

Crystal Nesfield

I specialize in therapy for women, LGBTQAI+ individuals, and people in non-traditional relationships. People may have told you how to think and feel and what is good for you. I strive to be non-judgmental, and to truly hear your goals and work with you to reach them, without telling you what is right for you and your life.

Gregory Custer

That saying, "What doesn't kill me makes me stronger" -- I think it should be "What doesn't kill me makes me suffer." So many people feel unheard, disconnected, tired, worthless, fearful, sad, anxious and forgettable. They need the skills to nurture their resilience, to discern their incredible value. There's a loneliness in struggling. But I'm here to help you heal yourself with a new, creative perspective and find resources you didn't know you possessed.
