Your life looks good on paper, but it may not feel that way inside.

You feel like you have a lot to be proud of in your life, but you may not feel the sense of confidence or fulfillment you want. Instead, you’re feeling overwhelmed by your emotions, stuck in thoughts about the past, or crippled by the “what-ifs” of your future.

Maybe you’re here because you recently experienced a loss, or someone in your life has suggested you reach out for mental health support. Or maybe you don’t know what you need, or what needs to change — you just know you don’t want to continue to feel this way — unsatisfied, disconnected, and at times angry with yourself for being here.

Maybe you’ve read some books, or follow inspirational accounts, and are an avid podcast listener, but just can’t seem to shake your discontent and find yourself feeling terribly alone in it.

Life doesn’t have to stay this way.
Empathetic Therapy in Phoenix Can Help.

WELCOME TO THIRD PLACE THERAPY

We believe you already hold the wisdom and intuition you need.

At Third Place Therapy, we're a team of therapists who believe meaningful change begins with feeling understood, supported, and safe enough to show up as yourself.

Our approach to psychotherapy helps bridge the gap between mind and body, helping you relieve distress from the past while restoring balance and a sense of peace in the present. We provide trauma-informed therapy, which means we make your sense of safety a priority and ask the question, "What's happened to you?" rather than "What's wrong with you?"

Our clients tell us they walk away from therapy feeling freed from the past, empowered to navigate emotions and decisions in the present, and more fulfilled in themselves, their relationships, and life in general.

 

  • TRAUMA

    Process past pain and learn new ways of thinking to connect with yourself so you can confidently navigate emotions and experience life with more ease and joy. We support clients with single-incident trauma like a car accident, work trauma, or traumatic birth as well as historical trauma from childhood wounds.

  • ANXIETY

    Learn to calm racing thoughts and ease constant worry with the right type of therapy and emotional support. Whether it’s postpartum anxiety or anxiety you’ve had your whole life, you deserve support and relief.

  • RELATIONSHIPS

    Helping individuals and couples connect more meaningfully in their relationships, feel confident setting boundaries, express their needs, and build the connections they want. We also support adult kids and parents navigating estrangement and strained relationships.

  • GRIEF & LIFE TRANSITION

    Restore a sense of peace, clarity, and empowerment amidst change, loss, or transition with the help of a therapist you can trust. We especially love supporting folks transitioning into parenthood.

The right therapist makes all the difference.

At Third Place Therapy, we know that finding a therapist who truly gets you matters. Our team brings different specialties, experiences, and approaches to the work, but we share a commitment to helping you feel understood, supported, and empowered to make meaningful changes.

Whether you're navigating anxiety, healing from past experiences, working through relationship challenges, or adjusting to a new season of life, we're here to help you find the right fit.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does therapy do?

Therapy gives you a safe space to pause, reflect, and work through the challenges that are weighing on you. Together, we’ll explore what’s beneath your stress, anxiety, or relationship struggles and give you coping skills to handle them with more ease. Therapy can help you heal past wounds, manage mental health conditions, and feel more connected to yourself and the people around you.

How do I know if I need therapy?

It’s common to wonder if what you’re going through is “enough” to seek therapy. The truth is, you don’t have to wait for a crisis or a diagnosis. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in patterns that don’t serve you, therapy can help. Many of our clients come to us simply because they want more ease, confidence, or support in navigating life’s challenges. If you’re asking the question, it may already be the right time to reach out.

Do you offer online therapy?

Yes. We provide both in-person therapy in Phoenix and secure online therapy sessions anywhere in Arizona. Online counseling is a flexible therapy option if you prefer to meet from the comfort of your home. Video therapy sessions work just like traditional counseling, with the added convenience of being able to connect with your therapist anywhere you feel safe.

How do I choose the right therapist?

Finding the right therapist is one of the most important steps in mental health treatment. It’s not just about credentials or therapy costs; it’s about feeling safe and supported. That’s why we offer a free 15-minute therapy appointment, so you can ask questions, see if we’re a good fit, and get a feel for how we work. Our goal is to help you feel comfortable from the very beginning.

What type of therapy do you offer?

We offer individual and couples therapy for one tailored to your needs. Together, we may use parts work or EMDR, depending on what feels right for you. Therapy sessions are always collaborative — we’ll create a treatment plan that supports your goals and helps you feel more confident and connected.

 

You don’t have to settle for the way things are. Our mental health professionals can help you reconnect to confidence in yourself and fulfillment in life.
