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.

Find relief from anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive cycles, mood dysregulation, anger, panic, negative thinking, disordered eating, low self-esteem, sleep disturbances, suicidal ideation, codependency, addiction, and trauma. Our licensed counselors are trained to evaluate, diagnose, and treat a wide range of mental health conditions, helping clients better understand their struggles, develop healthier patterns, and experience meaningful change.
Experience counseling from a biblical, Christ-centered perspective. Our Christian counselors help clients navigate mental health concerns, addiction, relationship struggles, and trauma through thoughtful integration of faith and clinical expertise. Pastoral counseling is 100% faith-based. Professional counseling is faith-based only when requested, ensuring clients receive the level of spiritual integration that best fits their goals and beliefs. Learn about the differences.
Trauma changes us. Whether it comes from childhood abuse, neglect, abandonment, sexual assault, relational abuse, religious abuse, war, or other life-threatening experiences, trauma can leave lasting effects on the mind, body, and spirit. Healing is possible, and trauma therapy can help you process what happened, restore a sense of safety, and move toward wholeness. Christian trauma therapy is available.
Being a teenager isn’t easy. Many teens struggle with anxiety, depression, loneliness, social pressure, questions about identity, or social media influence. Others may be navigating bullying, self-harm, substance use, or thoughts of suicide. Teen counseling helps teens increase emotional capacity, learn healthy coping skills, develop healthy boundaries, clarify personal values, and find hope as they navigate life’s challenges.
Divorce impacts the entire family, but healing doesn’t always happen in the same room. We provide specialized care for parents, individuals, and teens, helping each family member navigate change, conflict, and grief. Services include parenting coaching, post-divorce recovery, teen counseling, and support for high-conflict co-parenting and blended families. Our team helps ensure each person receives the support they need while keeping the family system in view.
Grief is both universal and deeply personal. Whether you’ve experienced the death of a loved one, a miscarriage, divorce, the loss of a friendship, a job, a pet, or the future you hoped for, grief counseling can help you process your loss, honor what mattered, and move through the pain instead of getting stuck in it. Let us hold space for your loss long after others have grown weary. Christian grief counseling is available.
You don’t have to stay stuck in the cycle of addiction. Addiction counseling can help you uncover the problem behind the problem, addressing the deeper wounds, emotions, and patterns that drive addictive behaviors. As you heal, you’ll learn to manage difficult emotions, navigate triggers, and build healthier ways of coping. Christian addiction counseling is available. Learn more about addiction counseling.
Marriage counseling helps couples move from disconnection and conflict toward greater understanding, trust, and intimacy. Whether you’re struggling with communication, recovering from infidelity or addiction, or navigating a difficult season, a skilled couples counselor can help you strengthen your relationship and rediscover hope. Christian marriage counseling is available.
Sometimes the best therapy is the therapy you can actually make it to. Telehealth counseling offers a convenient option for clients outside the Tucson area and for couples juggling busy schedules. By removing the commute and simplifying scheduling, online therapy can make it easier to get the support you need and stay consistent with care.
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.
