Welcome to TCA
A note to our clients:
Do you find yourself at an impasse? Perhaps you are feeling stressed, anxious, overwhelmed or over-burdened without feeling certain about how or where to take a step forward in any direction.
At Tucson Counseling Associates, we believe everyone has the capacity to thrive and are here to create an accepting and supportive environment where you can begin to believe and feel it too!
We strive to provide quality, anti-oppressive, trauma-informed treatment. To support us in doing so, some of our specialties include Relationship Counseling, Polyamory Therapy, Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy, EMDR, Medication Management, Perinatal, Neurodivergence, LGBTQ2IA+, Adolescent Therapy, Somatic Therapy, and OCD.
Relationship Counseling
Relationship therapy offers a supportive and structured space to explore relational concerns, navigate difficult conversations, and cultivate tools that strengthen emotional bonds.
Ethical Non-Monogamy and Polyamory Therapy
The community is not a monolith, no one practices ENM in exactly the same way.
Clinical Supervision
We have the necessary continuing education credits to be provide clinical supervision to help associate level clinicians seeking licensure in Arizona. We also have a robust training program for student interns/externs.
EMDR
EMDR is a structured, evidence-based approach that specifically targets distress associated with traumatic or adverse memories.
Medication Management and Psychiatric Evaluations
A one hour visit for a full psychiatric evaluation and treatment plan. Our psychiatric nurse practitioner will incorporate alternative and complementary practices into the mainstream allopathic narrative.
Groups
We regularly host and facilitate a variety of groups. We currently offer monthly Latinx Consultation Group with Jules Hernandez, LCSW; a weekly DBT Group with Sage Argyros, and more.
Perinatal
Are you experiencing mental health challenges during pregnancy or after giving birth? You are not alone.
Neurodivergence
Neurodivergence is an expansive and evolving concept that describes the wide range of ways human brains can function, develop, and process the world.
LGBTQ2IA+
Affirmative care is not only ethical—it is lifesaving.
Adolescent Therapy
This developmental window is particularly significant for mental health, as it is also the period during which many mental health disorders first emerge.
OCD
So what is OCD really? What does it look like? How can you tell if you have it? Why does it develop—and what can be done about it?
Is Therapy Right For You?
How it works
Talk therapy requires safety, trust and belief that it can help. During your first appointment we will discuss a plan for treatment that both you and your therapist can agree on. Relief can be felt in as little as 1-2 sessions but the longer and more consistently you participate in therapy, the more helpful it will be.
Our Goals:
- To provide quality outpatient psychotherapy services to clients.
- To teach and train therapists in a private practice setting.
- To empower associate level clinicians to hone their skills and grow.
- To meet the community’s need for affordable mental health care.
- To raise awareness and reduce stigma of mental illness in the community.
Our Mission
Mission
Our mission is to provide quality, anti-oppressive, trauma-informed mental health treatment at an affordable rate for those that seek it.
Philosophy
Our philosophy is that everyone has the capacity to thrive. Clients are seen as the expert in their own lives and we are here to create an accepting and supportive environment to foster recovery and empowerment.
Style
Because we are a teaching facility, we try to keep our rates low. We value the importance of creating a plan that is dictated by the client and their therapist. We see therapy as a collaboration and know it needs to be flexible and unique to individual needs.
Embrace Your Life
We offer therapy that is client-centered and tailored to each person’s unique treatment needs.
