Welcome

During your first visit, we will get to know you and learn a little bit more about what you are going through. We take an individualized approach to care, and will select a therapeutic approach that best suits you.

Additionally, we offer a free, 15-minute consultation over the phone to assess if Mind Empowerment would be a good fit for you.

Most insurances cover mental health services. We will work with you to ensure your insurance will cover expenses before we start treatment. We accept Cigna, Aetna, BCBS, United Health Care/Optum Plans, and United Community Plan (AHCCCS).

We also provide affordable, sliding scale services—including lower cost sessions with our Master's Level Intern.

Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a therapeutic approach that focuses on healing by addressing the different “parts” or sub-personalities within an individual.

IFS recognizes that these parts develop in response to experiences, especially trauma, and can become polarized or stuck in extreme roles (such as addiction, self harm, lashing out, isolating, mood lability, overthinking, poor self care, etc). This allows space for “shame” and “guilt” to step back and look at this part of yourself with out judgement.

By accessing and understanding these parts with curiosity and compassion, IFS aims to promote internal harmony and healing which is known as “self energy”. This is when your authentic self is able to be present without the activation of parts of self trying to protect you from pain.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, is a therapeutic approach that focuses on unhelpful thoughts and behaviors related to psychological distress or other mental health issues.

Decades of research have shown that by learning to recognize, understand, and change these thoughts and behaviors, mental health can be markedly improved.

CBT also helps to develop empathy and understanding of others, problem solving skills, and confidence in your abilities.

Accelerated resolution therapy, or ART, is an evidence-based therapeutic approach that focuses on resolving mental health concerns and past trauma on an accelerated timeline—sometimes within a single session. It works by replacing unhelpful or stress-inducing memories and mental imagery with new, more positive imagery.

Although your journey toward wellness and self-improvement is lifelong, we consider therapy "complete" when you have achieved your goals for therapy.

For most, this means being able to experience emotions without letting them overwhelm you and acting in your own best interest. We also hope to equip you with self-improvement knowledge and tools you can use for life.
