A little preparation.
A little preparation.
More room to focus.

- A reliable connection. Use a computer, tablet, or phone with a working camera and microphone. Test your setup before the appointment.
- Time to be present. Set aside the session, reduce interruptions, and stay in one safe place. Join a few minutes early; do not attend while driving.

Faith + your preferences
Christian counselors.
Christian counselors.
Your choice about faith.
If faith is part of what you want to bring into counseling, you can ask for Christian integration. If you prefer therapy without prayer, Scripture, or spiritual conversation, you are welcome here too.
Your counselor can help you talk through what you would like included. Your beliefs and preferences matter.
A Tucson practice. A wider reach.
You do not have to live near our offices.
Live in Phoenix, Mesa, Chandler, Scottsdale, Flagstaff, Prescott, Yuma, or a smaller Arizona community? Online counseling gives you a way to connect with select Joshua Tree counselors without traveling to Tucson.
Whether you live hours away or simply prefer to meet online, you can choose care around the person, approach, and practical details that fit your life.
The statewide licensed counseling described here is for clients physically located in Arizona during each session. Online eligibility and appointment availability vary by counselor.
Before you book
A few questions you may have.
Does my first appointment have to be in person?
You can begin by telehealth from the first appointment with any of the seven licensed counselors featured on this page: Josette, Stacy, Lauren, Ryan, Emily, Shari, or Dana. Choose a counselor who works with your age group and the concerns you want help with, then request an online appointment.
Can we do couples counseling online?
Stacy, Lauren, and Ryan offer online counseling for couples from the first session. Your counselor will help determine whether the format fits your relationship and how to arrange a private session for both partners. Both partners must complete the required consent forms.
Can online counseling include trauma work?
Josette works with trauma and attachment concerns and offers online sessions from the start. You and your counselor will discuss your goals, privacy, support needs, and the approaches that fit an online setting. Some needs may call for in-person care or additional support; your counselor can help you consider the options.
Can my teen meet with a counselor online?
Selected counselors offer online teen counseling when appropriate. Josette and Lauren offer online support for teens and parents. Josette sees teens beginning at age 12; Lauren’s profile explains her teen and family work. For clients under 18, that first appointment is parent-only. Your counselor will consider your teen’s needs and ability to participate privately; review the required consent and scheduling steps before booking.
How much does it cost? Do you take insurance?
Each counselor sets their own fees, which are shown on their profile. Joshua Tree is private pay and does not bill or accept health insurance. A valid credit card must remain on file. Eligible licensed psychotherapy clients may request a superbill for possible out-of-network reimbursement; your plan determines coverage. Read about fees, payment, and Good Faith Estimates.
What if I am outside Arizona during an appointment?
The licensed counseling offered on this page is for clients physically located in Arizona during their sessions. Tell your counselor before traveling or scheduling from another state so they can confirm whether they are able to see you there. Living in Arizona does not automatically allow a session while you are elsewhere.
