Evelyn Armendariz, MS, LAC

(she/her)

I believe everyone deserves to live a life that is fulfilling and true to who they are. Achieving this requires knowledge of our thoughts, experiences, and the many intersecting parts of our identity. But sometimes, that is easier said than done. We may need support and encouragement to recognize what fulfillment looks like for us and what steps it entails. My hope is to support you with that process to the best of my abilities.

 

My therapeutic approach is primarily based on humanistic and pragmatic concepts, incorporating elements of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, and Multicultural Therapy. Essentially, I believe that by understanding our reality, we can become better equipped to influence it. Counseling should be a dynamic process that allows you to both obtain new skills and tap into strengths you already possess. When working with clients, I want everyone to be met with compassion and acceptance. As we learn more about each other, I will strive to foster collaboration, openness, and authenticity. With that, congratulations on the start (or continuation) of your counseling journey!

 

I earned a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling through the AZBBHE-approved program offered by Grand Canyon University. I also earned my Bachelor of Science from Arizona State University, where I majored in Psychology and minored in Family and Human Development. I receive direct clinical supervision from AZBBHE-approved counselor Diana Canfield, MS, LPC.

Licensed Associate Counselor

Taylor Wexler, MA, LAC-T
(she/her)

Life tasks us with many challenges that are often overwhelming to approach. I have pondered the “why” of many life experiences. Therapy is helpful as it offers a safe space for individuals to uncover the mystery behind “why” or identify their own perceived meaning and move forward to grow into their most authentic selves. I believe each human being is unique and has their own journey. The path may not always be clear, which is why I provide my clients a safe, welcoming, nonjudgmental space to discover themselves and the tools needed to establish a personalized life worth living.

​

My therapeutic approach consists of pragmatic and family concepts. I believe in a personalized approach to therapy, therefore I draw from various therapeutic modalities including but not limited to Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Person-Centered Therapy, as well as Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP). I also utilize expressive art and play therapies as well. I find value in understanding the connection between our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors because it allows us to feel more in control of our reality. My clients have found this understanding helps answer some of their “why” questions in life. I strive to guide clients to this understanding and build on their strengths to achieve their goals.

​

You have a unique story to tell, and I am eager to read it! I look forward to helping you along this journey.

Life’s unpredictability can be overwhelming—grief, trauma, anxiety, and depression often leave us feeling disconnected and uncertain. Taking the first step toward healing is courageous, and I’m here to walk alongside you as you rediscover balance, peace, and self-awareness.

​

I specialize in trauma therapy, grief counseling, OCD treatment, anxiety and stress management, and depression support. My work blends evidence-based approaches with mind-body awareness, somatic practices, and mindfulness techniques to help you reconnect with yourself and feel more grounded in daily life.

​

I believe therapy should feel both safe and transformative—a place where you can show up fully as yourself. My goal is to create a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where you feel seen, heard, and supported. Together, we’ll explore the roots of your struggles, strengthen your resilience, and uncover the tools you already have within you to create lasting change.

​

My passion for the mind-body connection continues to guide my practice. I integrate neuroscience, trauma-informed care, and intuitive awareness to help clients heal from the inside out. Whether you’re processing loss, managing intrusive thoughts, or rebuilding after a major life transition, we’ll work collaboratively to move you toward clarity and confidence.

​

You are the expert on your own story. My role is to help you access your inner strength, rediscover purpose, and find peace within the uncertainty. Healing isn’t linear—but it is possible, and you don’t have to walk that road alone

I draw from child-centered play therapy, cognitive-behavioral strategies, attachment and family systems work to create a space where clients, especially children, feel safe, seen, and supported.


My clinical training combines theory with hands-on experience. I hold an MA from the New York Graduate School of Psychoanalysis and an M.Ed. in Educational Leadership from Brandeis University.

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.  
​
"You're happy when you help others become happy." -Dalai Lama
