Kristy Theilen, MSE, LAC

(she/her)

I believe that everyone has the power within themselves to heal themselves. I have a person-centered egalitarian approach that puts the client in the driver's seat of their own therapy. I work with individuals, couples, and families. I work with all ages, children as young as 5 to adults of any age.

When working with children, I like to use a child centered non-directive play therapy approach. This approach empowers children to work through their own worries and problems through their exploration of the play room, sand tray, and their own creativity. Also sometimes using art expression, CBT and TF-CBT to address more specific concerns.

When working with adult individuals, after gathering information through a number of assessments, we will create a treatment plan together combining what we learned from the assessments and the goals that you have. I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Internal Family Systems (IFS) and also use other evidence-based techniques like Cognitive Behavioral strategies, Mindfulness strategies, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy strategies.

When working with couples, we will assess the problem areas of the relationship using the Gottman's Sound Relationship House Questionnaire and create a treatment plan based on those problem areas and interventions that Gottman's have found in their 4 decades of research to improve the relationship.

When working with families, we will use some creative assessments that involve the whole family to discover where our problem areas are and create a treatment plan that will work best to address them.

I want to journey together with the approach that works best for you to discover the strengths and skills that you have to reach your ultimate potential. Let's talk about what's going on in your world, how your experiences have shaped how you view it, and discover the strengths and tools that you have within yourself to overcome it.

I have a Masters of Education in Clinical Mental Health, a Bachelors of Science in Psychology, and over ten years of experience in behavioral health. I am receiving direct clinical supervision from AZBBHE approved Diana Canfield, M.S., LPC.

Amanda Green, MS, LAC

I believe we all have the strength to face our struggles and make meaningful change—we just might need a little help getting there. As a counselor, I walk alongside you on your journey, helping you recognize the strength that’s been within you all along.

I focus on how our thoughts influence emotions and behaviors. Together, we can uncover what’s truly going on, identify what’s not working, and create healthier patterns. I draw from therapies such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Person-Centered, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), and Narrative Therapy.

I also offer Equine-Assisted Therapy in the East Valley. This evidence-based approach uses the unique sensitivity of horses to foster emotional insight, regulation, and healing. Horses help us stay grounded, reflect our emotions through non-verbal communication, and promote awareness without judgment. This powerful modality supports growth in areas such as self-image, emotional regulation, anxiety, trauma processing, and communication.

I hold a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, a Master of Science in Psychology, and a Bachelor of Science in Psychology.

I receive direct clinical supervision from AZBBHE-approved Diana Canfield, M.S., LPC.

I’m passionate about helping clients reach their unique goals and create meaningful change.

Reiki Practitioner

Christine Rizzo

I don't consider myself a typical Reiki practitioner. I am not one to ponder the mysteries of the universe or wax poetic about the depths of my spirituality. I never owned crystals. I found Reiki through my passion for yoga, through my need for stillness and to quiet my mind - always racing with the responsibilities of life. After spending decades in the legal field helping people, but from behind a computer, I began searching for a more hands-on profession that would render purpose and fulfillment.

I signed up for the Reiki course on a whim, the skeptic in me wondering if Reiki energy was real, if it could work on me and through me. I admit to web searching "Do you have to believe in Reiki for it to work?" If you have done this search yourself, you will be happy to know the answer is "no."

On the first day of the course, I pulled a card from the deck the teacher brought with her and it read "Fulfillment." It basically said everything I knew to be true, that I was unhappy with my life in its current state, and I was looking for purpose.

So, I showed up. I learned. I practiced. I meditated (5 minutes at a time is an accomplishment for me). And it does work. Energy does move and I find it incredibly motivating and extraordinary to be able to help people by offering mobile and distance Reiki services to individuals and their animal companions with Reiki Therapy.

I believe that walking with clients in their struggles alleviates some of the pain and isolation they may be feeling. I recognize that challenges are multifaceted, and it is crucial to understand each issue from the client's unique perspective and cultural background within a safe, respectful, and genuine space. Understanding the cultural nuances that shape a person's experience of the world is integral to the counseling process and should be carefully considered and explored. I am fluent in Filipino (Tagalog), Cebuano, and English.

I believe that clients can achieve positive change and healing through the therapeutic relationship. Within this relationship, clients learn to embrace their emotions, live in the present, and liberate themselves from maladaptive thoughts. My role is to assist clients in uncovering their core values and committing to actions that are in harmony with those values, ultimately leading to a more fulfilled life. I utilize Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and other evidence-based interventions to guide therapy.

Trained as a Certified Clinical Trauma Specialist (CCTS-I), I am dedicated to helping clients overcome the impact of past trauma. My previous experiences in community mental health have provided me with the opportunity to work with clients dealing with depression, trauma, and grief. In a private practice setting, I have had the privilege of working with groups and individuals facing eating disorders and personality disorders.

I am actively engaged in the professional counseling community as a master's student in a CACREP-accredited program and a member of the International Honor Society, Chi Sigma Iota, and the American Counseling Association. These affiliations expose me to the latest modalities and research. I am also under the direct clinical supervision of Diana Canfield, M.S., LPC, approved by the Arizona Board of Behavioral Health Examiners (AZBBHE).

The unpredictable nature of life is no secret. Although challenging, taking the first steps toward self-discovery and personal growth can be transformative, and it is an honor for me to accompany you on this journey. During our work together, we will uncover the depths of your emotions, unravel the complexities, and pave the way for individual and professional success. Regardless of the challenges you are facing or the path you are pursuing, it is important to realize that you are not alone.

My passion for the mind-body connection has driven me to explore research that enhances the therapeutic experience and relationship. As a counselor, I integrate empirical knowledge with an intuitive dance of mindfulness. This creates a healing space where science and intuition can coexist. As a client-centered therapist, I strive to provide a safe space and ensure you feel heard, accepted, and understood. My practice embraces each individual's uniqueness and celebrates the rich tapestry of the human experience.

I believe that everyone possesses extraordinary capabilities, and my goal is to assist you in recognizing and utilizing these capabilities throughout your life's journey. Transparency is imperative when creating authenticity, which is essential for building trust. You are the expert on your own life. As you navigate your healing process, I will be here to walk beside you. It will be my pleasure to be your biggest advocate while challenging you along the way.
