Getting started at Joshua Tree begins with finding the right therapist for you because we believe the right fit is one of the most important parts of meaningful and lasting change. We invite you to explore our therapist profiles and choose the person you feel most connected to—whether you’re seeking counseling for yourself, your teen, or your relationship. Once you request an appointment, you’ll complete your initial paperwork through our secure client portal and then attend your first session at one of our two Tucson office locations, or virtually with one of our telehealth providers.

At Joshua Tree, we believe specialized care leads to deeper, more meaningful healing. We’re not a group of generalists trying to treat everything. Each of our therapists has distinct specialties, training, personality, and ages and areas of focus, whether that’s complex trauma, couples work, anxiety, dissociation, addiction recovery, faith integration, or work with teens. Instead of matching you with the first available therapist we invite you to review our therapist profiles and choose the therapist who feels like the right fit for your story, goals, and personality.

Joshua Tree Counseling was designed to feel warm, calm, and welcoming—more like a home than a clinical office. Our spaces feature comfortable living room-style furniture, soft lighting, gentle piano music, and thoughtfully designed offices that help clients feel at ease. When you arrive, we invite you to make a coffee or tea, grab a snack, and settle into our comfortable waiting area before your session begins. We hope Joshua Tree becomes a trusted home base for therapeutic care. We provide a private, restorative space where healing and meaningful change can happen.

Joshua Tree Counseling believes in the value of canine-assisted therapy. At our La Cholla location, Henry (Rachel’s dog) is part of the team, and you can learn more about him here. Henry is a calm, gentle dog who 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. If you have a dog allergy, fear of dogs, or would prefer not to interact with Henry, please contact our practice manager, Kelly, at (520) 308-4999 before your first appointment so we can make accommodations.
