Kaitlin Schick
In-Office: Scottsdale | Trauma Treatment, Substance Use Disorders My goal as a therapist in Scottsdale is to provide a safe, healing environment for clients to work through difficult emotions, process trauma, express their authentic selves, or learn how to navigate the world around them. I work with clients experiencing difficulties such as life transitions, self-esteem, anxiety, depression, trauma, emotional/behavioral dysregulation, and relational issues. I enjoy working with people from all walks of life at whatever stage they may be in. My approach is holistic with training in multiple techniques, so I tend to utilize approaches that best fit your individual needs. I am currently under the supervision of Shelly Baxter.
Deb Walsh
In-Office: Scottsdale | Anxiety Disorders, OCD, Panic Disorders I specialize in concerns that are rooted in Anxiety or Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. I work with pre-teens, young adults and adults regarding Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Social Anxiety, Panic/Phobias, Sport Performance stress, or anxiety brought on by a major life transition such as blending families, medical diagnosis, school adjustment or coping with grief. Repetitive intrusive thoughts or compulsions can be related to OCD. Thankfully, there are solution focused approaches we can cultivate to provide healthier responses to each person's unique symptoms. I utilize evidence-based therapies such as CBT, ERP, ACT and mindfulness based techniques that are customized to each client. My goal is that each client will gain an understanding of their own strengths, and their new customized tools - to create positive transformations within their own lives.
Caitlin Reyes
In-Office: Scottsdale | Treatment for Domestic Violence, Sexual Abuse I specialize in trauma therapy for individuals who have experienced domestic violence, sexual abuse, or other overwhelming and life-altering experiences. Trauma can affect your sense of safety, relationships, and self-worth long after the events have passed. I provide a supportive, trauma-informed space where healing happens at your pace and your experiences are met with understanding and respect. My approach is compassionate, client-centered, and grounded in evidence-based treatment. I use EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and trauma-informed therapy to help clients process painful memories, reduce emotional distress, and rebuild a sense of safety and control. Therapy goes beyond talking about what happened — we work together in a structured way to support lasting relief and meaningful change. Clients often leave therapy feeling more emotionally regulated, less overwhelmed by traumatic memories, and more empowered to move forward with confidence, resilience, and a stronger sense of self.
Megan Doran
In-Office: Scottsdale | Childhood and Complex Trauma Treatment I provide individual therapy for children and adults who are navigating the effects of trauma, anxiety, relationship concerns, and challenges with self-esteem. Many clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed or stuck, often noticing that past experiences continue to shape their present lives. My goal is to offer a safe, supportive space where clients of all ages can feel understood and supported as they work toward healing and meaningful change. My work is grounded in a trauma-informed, client-centered approach. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based practices, and trauma-informed care to help clients better understand their thoughts, emotions, and nervous system responses, while developing practical tools for coping and emotional regulation. I am especially passionate about supporting adults who are processing the impact of childhood experiences such as emotional neglect, instability, or complex trauma. Therapy can be a space to make sense of these experiences, strengthen self-compassion, and move toward greater clarity and confidence. Whether you are seeking support for anxiety, trauma, relationship concerns, or self-esteem, I strive to meet you where you are and move at a pace that feels right for you. My goal is to help each client build insight, recognize their strengths, and create meaningful, lasting change.

In-Office: Scottsdale | Couples, Sex Therapy | English, Spanish Life and relationships can be challenging—especially when past experiences, stress, or unspoken pain affect how you connect with yourself and others. My passion is helping individuals and couples heal, grow, and rediscover meaningful connection. I am a trauma-informed therapist with extensive experience working with couples and individuals. I specialize in relationship concerns, intimacy and sexual issues, anxiety, and unresolved trauma. Many of my clients feel stuck or disconnected and want help breaking unhealthy patterns and building stronger relationships. I use EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and attachment-based approaches to support emotional healing and resilience. In couples work, I integrate EMDR to promote emotional safety, deeper empathy, and reconnection. As a sex therapy specialist in training, I provide a respectful, non-judgmental space to discuss intimacy, desire, communication, and sexual confidence. My approach is warm, collaborative, and compassionate. Therapy is not about fixing you—it’s about helping you reconnect with your strengths and create healthier, more fulfilling relationships. If you’re ready to invest in yourself and your relationships, I’d be honored to work with you. -- La vida y las relaciones pueden ser difíciles—especialmente cuando las experiencias pasadas, el estrés o el dolor no expresado afectan la forma en que te relacionas contigo mismo y con los demás. Mi pasión es ayudar a individuos y parejas a sanar, crecer y reconectarse. Soy un terapeuta con enfoque informado en trauma y amplia experiencia trabajando con parejas e individuos. Me especializo en dificultades en las relaciones, intimidad y sexualidad, ansiedad y trauma no resuelto. Muchos de mis clientes se sienten estancados o desconectados y buscan romper patrones poco saludables. Utilizo EMDR, Terapia Cognitivo-Conductual (CBT) y enfoques basados en el apego para fortalecer la sanación emocional y la resiliencia. En el trabajo con parejas, integro EMDR para fomentar seguridad emocional, empatía y reconexión. Como especialista en terapia sexual en formación, ofrezco un espacio respetuoso y libre de juicios para hablar sobre intimidad, deseo, comunicación y confianza sexual. Mi estilo es cálido, colaborativo y compasivo. La terapia no se trata de “arreglarte,” sino de ayudarte a reconectar con tus fortalezas y crear relaciones más saludables. Si estás listo para invertir en ti y en tus relaciones, será un honor acompañarte.
Katherine Unekis, Intern
In-Office: Scottsdale | OCD, Relationships | Grief and Loss I help individuals facing challenges related to depression, anxiety, grief, and OCD-related thoughts and behaviors. My work is inclusive of individuals from all backgrounds, each with their own unique challenges. I am particularly committed to helping those dealing with emotional distress, relationship difficulties, and loss. By focusing on the individual’s experience, exposing maladaptive thought patterns and coping methods, I aim to create personalized strategies that promote healing and self-discovery. As I continue to grow in my counseling practice, I am eager to assist you in exploring your unique narrative and identifying pathways to healing. My goal is to provide the guidance, encouragement, and support you need, equipping you with the tools and strategies necessary to bring about lasting change and transformation in your life.
Dr. Butch Losey
In-Office: Scottsdale | Couples Therapy for Infidelity and Communication Problems I work specifically with couples who are recovering from infidelity, are dealing with difficulties in communication, find it difficult to talk without arguing, or have problems intimately connecting. My process for couples therapy is systemic, transformational and experiential. My hope is that you will gain a greater understanding of yourself and your partner, which will create transformation in your relationship. I create the session experience so that you will consistently experience each other in a positive, growth-oriented way. You will not come in and "chat with the therapist" about the problem, but work with each other as I coach you through necessary and difficult discussions so that you can create transformative change in your relationship. You will be encouraged to implement healthy strategies, challenged to stop problematic behaviors and taught skills to be a stronger, better couple. At the end of therapy, you should expect to have a better understanding of each other's needs, be better at talking about difficult topics, have increased intimacy between the two you, and have healed the pain that brought you to therapy.
