Our most meaningful relationships have the power to bring us the greatest joy and the greatest suffering. Our individual habits interact with our partner’s to form a type of pattern or dance that we often aren’t even aware of. Some dances lead to life-giving interactions that encourage growth and satisfaction. Others, however, lead to dysfunctional interactions that harm both individual and relationship. Our evidence-based couples counseling approach empowers couples to break free from old patterns and begin dancing in ways that cultivate safety, healing, and the ever-increasing joy of emotional intimacy.

It’s the single most common emotional struggle, regardless of age, gender, or culture. Some call it stress or worry. Others experience it as irritability. Still others know it as panic or rage. More than 1/3 of Americans suffer from a diagnosable problem with anxiety. Anxiety is a painful nervous system state that comes from either an unmet need or an unresolved psychological injury; and, while it can feel overwhelming, it’s one of the most treatable mental health conditions. Whether you’re dealing with generalized anxiety or post-traumatic symptoms, our specialized clinicians are prepared to help you regain your sense of safety and control.

From overcoming gender stereotypes to understanding biological distinctions, we recognize that gender is a complex experience effecting our sense of self, personal expectations, roles and responsibilities, sexual feelings and interpretations, and much more. Even considering and exploring therapy can feel significantly different for women and men. We are committed to providing culturally competent care for all genders. And we are uniquely equipped to help men overcome our culture’s counseling stigma and freely explore struggles and solutions in a context of affirmation and understanding.

Whether you are seeking to explore your spirituality, recover from religious abuse, or navigate the complex world of ministry and service, we are prepared to help you take the next step in your personal journey. Our diverse service experiences and specialized training allow us to offer culturally sensitive and personally empowering support and assistance as you lean into this aspect of your humanity.

We offer in-person and tele-health (video-call and telephone) sessions for all Arizona and Oregon residents. In-person sessions are available in the Redeem Counseling Phoenix office, in the heart of Downtown on Roosevelt Row.
