Tucson Counseling Associates offers anti-oppressive outpatient psychotherapy for individuals, couples, and families.

We provide client-centered care tailored to each person’s unique needs. Flexible scheduling is available, including daytime, evening, and weekend appointments. Clients may choose between in-person sessions at our three locations—one near downtown Tucson, another on the East Side, and a third in the NW—and telehealth sessions are available as well.

We also have a nurse practitioner on staff who provides medication management services, allowing clients to benefit from support through an interdisciplinary team approach to care.

Tucson Counseling Associates has developed an evidence-based, therapy-focused Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) clinic, offering both individual and group KAP sessions. This service supports clients seeking alternative or adjunctive approaches to healing, grounded in research and therapeutic integration.

As a teaching facility, Tucson Counseling Associates provides clinical supervision and training for associate-level clinicians within a collaborative group private practice setting. Our team includes more than 20 therapists with diverse areas of expertise.

In addition to therapy, we offer workshops and training opportunities for both community members and professionals. These include specialized topics such as working with queer and ethically non-monogamous clients, psychedelic integration, and ketamine-assisted psychotherapy.

Tucson Counseling Associates is a group private practice striving to provide anti-oppressive, social justice oriented mental health services to individuals and families at an accessible rate. We accept most major insurance plans and offer fee-for-service sessions with a sliding fee scale.  Our therapists are committed to doing personal and collective liberation work and are encouraged to actively engage with anti-racism work together and on their own.  Additionally, all of our therapists are LGBTQIA+, non-monogamy, and sex worker allied. We work to educate our staff and clients on the impact of racism, oppression, ableism, and intersecting marginalized identities on the individual and society.

I had been practicing in mental health agencies since I received my masters degree in 2011. I felt that sometimes corporate policies made it difficult to meet my clients’ needs so I decided to start a private practice where I could provide the quality of mental health treatment I knew I was capable of. Ensuring that there are other adequate clinicians in the field is also important to me.

I believe in helping other practitioners reach their goals and therefore, I wanted to establish a practice that would allow for associate level therapists to obtain the experience and supervision they need to become independently licensed. In 2018 we also started an internship program that has grown substantially.  I am qualified to provide clinical supervision as well as consulting or coaching therapists starting their own private practice.

Providing ongoing trainings and support to therapists wanting to improve their skills with working with people in ethical non-monogamous relationships, LGBTQIA+ and psychedelics is important to me. We host monthly continuing education classes for our staff and interns and invite other therapists in the community to come as well.
