Stanley Savoia, LPC — Therapist in Arizona

Hi there, I'm Stanley!

I work with anxiety, depression, substance abuse, trauma, and work and family concerns. I support children, adolescents, and adults from diverse cultural backgrounds. While I conceptualize from a psychodynamic perspective, my treatment is integrative, often using Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused techniques.

My focus

I specialize in helping you develop coping and relapse prevention skills. I work to help you challenge unhealthy thoughts and emphasize self-care strategies to maintain sobriety and manage stress, anxiety, and depression. I offer hope, a safe space to share and discover, compassion, and acceptance.

My approach

My approach integrates CBT, DBT, and Solution-Focused methods. I help you gain confidence to find the resources and strategies that work best for you so you can make changes with lasting effects. I welcome you to start your growth and healing journey.

My communication style

I use active listening to create a safe place for you to express your thoughts and feelings. You will feel that your feelings are valid and heard. You will feel supported and comfortable in sessions.

My journey to mental healthcare

My enthusiasm for therapy began as a young adolescent. Growing up in an environment of depression and substance abuse, I often felt the same emotions that bring clients to therapy. My personal experiences have created a strong desire to help others.

My goals for you

I believe healing is a collaborative experience in which you actively participate in developing your treatment plan. Anxiety, depression, and other disturbances often reflect current interpersonal problems and the continuing influence of past experiences.

Our first session

I create an environment of empathy, compassion, and genuineness. I offer nonjudgmental listening to create a therapeutic space that allows you to express your feelings and be heard.
