Thomas Slocumb, LCSW — Therapist in Arizona

Hi there, I'm Thomas!

I provide evidence-based psychotherapies for many challenges, including depression and anxiety, and am trained in the Gottman Method to work with couples. I generally operate from a cognitive behavioral perspective but can incorporate other approaches. I am experienced in working with veterans but welcome all adults.

My focus

I have experience working with veterans, but welcome all adults.

My approach

I see things from a different perspective when it comes to understanding what a client is experiencing in their life. Therapy wasn't my first career; I've had a rich and varied life before taking on this role. I feel that this experience allows me to offer a deeper understanding of the challenges my clients face.

My communication style

I like to create an environment that is safe and accepting. I also believe that to grow from therapy, you need to be challenged.

My journey to mental healthcare

My path to becoming a therapist came after a rich and varied career in other fields, which gives me a broader perspective on life's challenges.

My goals for you

I work collaboratively with you to identify your goals and use evidence-based approaches tailored to your needs. We'll track progress together and adjust our work as needed.

Our first session

In our first session, we'll discuss what brings you to therapy, your goals, and any questions you have. I'll explain how I work and we'll begin building a collaborative relationship focused on your growth.
