From Hopeless to Healing

Choosing a counselor is personal.

You are choosing more than an appointment. You are choosing someone to trust with deeply personal parts of your story. Our in-depth profiles and real photos help you understand each counselor’s personality, approach, and experience before you schedule—so you can choose based on fit, not simply the next available opening.

Areas of Care

Specialized Focus Areas

A specialty tells you what a counselor works with, but not how they work. Each Joshua Tree counselor has developed experience in particular areas of care while bringing a distinct perspective and approach to the work.

Anxiety + Depression

Anxiety can keep your mind racing, while depression can make everything feel heavy or distant. You may experience one or both. Counseling can help you understand what is happening beneath the symptoms.

Christian Counseling

Professional counseling can integrate faith when requested, while pastoral counseling provides a fully Christ-centered approach to mental health concerns, relationships, addiction, grief, and trauma.

Learn the difference

Trauma Therapy

Trauma can leave lasting effects on the mind, body, and spirit. Counseling can help you process what happened, restore a sense of safety, and move toward healing. We offer EMDR, DBR, and other trauma models.

Teen Counseling

Teenagers may struggle with anxiety, depression, loneliness, identity, or social pressure. Counseling can help them develop coping skills, strengthen boundaries, clarify their values, and find hope.

Learn more

Divorce/Co-Parenting

Divorce affects the entire family. Counseling can help parents, individuals, and teens navigate grief, conflict, co-parenting, changing roles, and blended family life.

Grief Counseling

Grief can follow the death of someone you love or another meaningful loss. Counseling offers space to process the pain, honor what mattered, and grieve at your own pace.

Learn more

Addiction Counseling

Counseling can help you understand what drives addictive behavior, address deeper wounds, manage triggers, and develop healthier ways of coping without reducing you to the problem.

Marriage Counseling

Marriage counseling is not only for couples in distress. It can help couples navigate conflict, disconnection, and infidelity—or deepen communication, trust, understanding, and intimacy.

Telehealth Counseling

Sometimes the best therapy is the therapy you can actually make it to. Telehealth removes the commute, simplifies scheduling, and helps individuals and couples throughout Arizona stay consistent with care.

Where We Meet

Two Tucson offices + telehealth

Henry, the Joshua Tree therapy dog

Therapy Dog at La Cholla

Meet Henry

Calm Gentle Loves treats

Henry is Rachel’s calm, gentle giant. He enjoys greeting clients in the waiting area and relaxing in the hallway. He is intuitive, slow-moving, and comfortable around children, babies, and other dogs.

Henry often joins Rachel in sessions and may curl up next to you on the couch if you’d like. We keep treats around the office, and clients are welcome to give him one.

Would you prefer not to interact with Henry? If you have a dog allergy, fear of dogs, or would prefer a Henry-free visit, please contact our practice manager, Kelly, at (520) 308-4999 before your first appointment so we can make accommodations.
