Melissa Strobel, LPC — Therapist in Arizona

Hi there, I'm Melissa!

Have you already tried traditional talk therapy and felt disappointed by it? Perhaps you are skeptical about trying therapy at all. Either way, I am here to help by holding a safe space for you to explore your inner world using my favorite modalities: EMDR and IFS-informed approaches.

My focus

I enjoy working with adults who are struggling. I also have life experience with unexpected life transitions that help my clients to feel seen and not so alone.

My approach

EMDR, along with IFS-informed approaches, is a key ingredient for finally finding some relief! Utilizing bilateral stimulation, we allow the brain to do its best work to process memories that become “stuck”, causing fears, anxiety, and depression in our present-day lives.

My communication style

I like to see online therapy be similar to in-person therapy. Grab a blanket, favorite drink, and settle into the healing process. A curious, calm, and connected environment is my ultimate goal in setting the tone for sessions.

My goals for you

I like to ask the 'magic pill' question to establish goals. 'If you were to take a magic pill tonight and wake up tomorrow and everything were to be better for you, what would that look like?'

Our first session

Clients can expect informed consents to be reviewed, thorough history taking, and goal setting in the very first session.
