Jonathan Statt, MC, LMFT - Co-founder & Independent Therapist
For over 15 years, I have successfully worked with people to gain insight and create positive patterns of behavior to repair broken relationships, heal from past abuse/trauma, improve self-control, break free from anxiety and depression, and achieve greater life satisfaction. I strive to create a safe, comfortable, non-judgmental environment for clients to feel understood and accepted. I often use stories from my life experiences as a youth pastor, Jr. High teacher, and married father of three to relate to clients and teach lessons that I am still learning. The most common positive comment I receive from clients is that they always leave having learned something new.
I have a passion for working with teens, adults, and couples on a variety of issues including anxiety, depression, impulse control, life transitions, personal growth, relationship conflict and communication, men's health, sexuality, grief, overcoming trauma/abuse, and spiritual conflicts.
When not working in the community or counseling, I love spending time with my wife of 20 years, two daughters, and son. I am available on M-Th and Saturdays for appointments and can be contacted at jstatt@affinitycounseling.org or (520) 257-1168 x1.

Daniel Orozco, LPC, DAAETS, CT - Co-founder & Independent Therapist
I am passionate about bringing healing, hope, and wholeness in the wake of the most difficult situations life throws at us. Many of my clients come to therapy seeking to decrease anxiety or depression, heal from significant losses and hurts, solve difficult problems, or just feel better about themselves. I have a broad range of experience with adults with a wide variety of concerns including: overcoming trauma/abuse, grief and loss, spiritual conflicts, life transitions, HIV/AIDS, anxiety, depression, and stress management.
I actively seek to build an atmosphere of acceptance and understanding that allows my clients to feel comfortable and safe. I work collaboratively with each client to identify and reach their personal therapy goals. My focus is finding the most effective combination of therapeutic approaches to help my clients be successful in creating their fullest possible life. I primarily use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Internal Family Systems, and Solution-Focused Therapy. When appropriate, I incorporate my experience in behavioral health with over a decade of experience as a pastor.
When not counseling, I love spending time with my wife and four dogs, hiking, traveling, and volunteering in the community. I am available Monday through Thursday for appointments and can be contacted at dorozco@affinitycounseling.org or (520) 257-1168 x2.

Lisa Rauch, MS, LPC, NCC, CCATP - Independent Therapist
I believe in the holistic treatment of an individual utilizing nutrition, exercise, mental health, mind-body-spirit connection. Using mindfulness-based strategies, de-escalation, restructuring thoughts and stressors, and getting mentally fit are the key to unlocking problematic features/behaviors. The most effective treatment is centered on building rapport with clients and establishing their goals of what they want to achieve in therapy. I am committed to unlocking the fear and walking with you on your journey.
The Kindest thing you can do is to listen without judgment!
I have certifications in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and also use Motivational Interviewing and Tai Chi.

The fact that you are reading this says a great deal about you. Despite the circumstances you are facing and the pain you are trying to deal with there is something inside of you that’s helping you to keep going, and to try to find a way through the mess and the pain. My hope is to join you in your journey through this mess and pain. I am not the expert on your life, you are. However, I will work to meet you where you are at, hear your story, and together we can go from there.
I am influenced by certain ideas and theories, but I am not going to try and make your story fit into a certain mold.

I specialize in working with teens, couples, & individuals struggling w/ trauma, depression, and anxiety. I am also trained in EMDR therapy as well as Emotionally Focused Therapy for couples and families.

I believe we were created for relationships. Relationships can bring healing, wholeness and happiness. However, despite their powerful role in our life, they can be extremely difficult to manage and can cause us a lot of pain and stress. This is where I hope to be able to help you. I love working with individuals, couples and families to help them on the their road to finding peace and joy in their relationships. At Affinity Counseling Center you will find an accepting and understanding atmosphere where you can be open about the real struggles of life.
I have worked with adolescents for over a decade through Young Life, a youth outreach organization, and love helping teens and parents not only survive the challenging adolescent years but also to thrive in their relationships.

Garret Bolthouse, MA, MCFC, LAC, NCC - Associate Therapist
Everyone has their own unique story to tell and needs someone they feel is safe, confidential, and ready to listen. I am passionate about people and the stories they are willing to share -- their hurts and their joys, their losses and their successes. Absolutely everyone, at some point in their life, experiences a sense of feeling stuck or feeling unable to move forward, and that’s OK! The fact that you are seeking counseling tells me that you have incredible courage, and are ready to push forward, but may not know where to begin. I will work to walk with you, listen to your story, help you uncover your strengths, collaborate with you to develop goals, and explore solutions that may help you to thrive again.
People describe me as highly relational, kind, warm, funny, grounded, and smart. For thirteen years, I worked as a lay-minister alongside teenagers, college students, couples, and their families, and have also worked professionally with mental and behavioral health programs for young people across the country. I have a bachelor’s degree in Philosophy with a minor in Business Administration from the University of Arizona, and a Master’s degree in Marriage, Couple & Family Counseling from Regent University. My work as a counselor is primarily influenced by Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Strengths-Based Counseling and Positive Psychology.

Heidi Cowell, MA, LAC, NCC - Associate Therapist
Life can be hard and that is part of the reality that comes with being human. Oftentimes our stories do not get listened to or honored and this can create a deep sense of aloneness. Therapy is a relationship where we collaborate to listen to you, the client. Whether you are dealing with the difficulties of family or other relationships, the demands of work and school, or struggling with self-care, counseling can be a powerful way to get back on your feet.
My therapeutic approach is relational and attachment based. This means that I focus on how your inner world has been shaped by early experiences, as well as how that impacts your present relationships and broader life experience.
I have experience working with individuals who struggle from depression, anxiety, stress, fear/isolation, lack of motivation, grief, trauma, anger, and other issues that interfere with everyday life.
This is a safe place to share your story. Along the way you can expect me to be empathic, relational, and authentic because I believe that who you are matters, and who you are becoming matters.

Deciding on a counselor to see can be an overwhelming process. It can be helpful to know a little bit about the counselor before deciding if they are the one you want to see.
I am a Tucson native and have received my master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Northern Arizona University.

Jonathan Kampa, LAC - Associate Therapist
Do you ever feel as though you are trapped by feelings of anxiety, loneliness, or helplessness? When we experience trauma or severe life stressors, it is not uncommon for us to feel as though our lives are unraveling and become trapped in negative thinking patterns. If you feel weighed down by the pressures of societal expectations, or experience difficulties in developing relationships, come and talk to me. Together, we will work on strategies that will allow you to address the root causes of your struggles and build skills that will help you overcome the barriers that stand in the way of you achieving your goals.
Since being honorably discharged from the Marine Corps, I have pursued my passion for supporting those who show resiliency and perseverance during difficult times in their lives. I believe in nurturing self-love, clarifying our individual set of values, and inspiring commitment towards making wholesome changes.
Mindfulness is an act of hospitality; a way of learning to treat ourselves with kindness and care that gradually fosters the restoration of our well-being. Healing is the process of remembering the goodness within ourselves, connecting intimately to our inner world, and finding a new balance that restores our sense of integrity. Our time together will be focused on cultivating a more consistently positive self-image that is rooted in a strong sense of self-compassion and supported by secure relationships.
Please feel free to contact me at jkampa@affinitycounseling.org or call (520) 257-1168 x711.

Connor Grundy, LAC - Associate Therapist
I strive to create a tranquil, empathetic, and non-judgmental space where my clients can feel safe and allow themselves to be vulnerable and honest about what they’re feeling. By sharing your struggles and your ideal future, we can collaborate in changing those aspirations into realizations. I believe we all have the strength within ourselves to overcome and persevere, but sometimes we just need a helping hand to draw out that inner strength.
I am a born and raised Tucsonan. I attended the University of Arizona where I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and recently earned my Master's Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from NAU. I have been working in the mental health community for over 6 years in many of the skilled nursing facilities around Tucson Arizona. Through my work I have been able to gain experience with many different individuals and I am able to adapt to the individual needs of every person and their unique situation. I currently offer life coaching services.
Outside of work I am very much a homebody. I enjoy spending time with friends or family, socializing and sharing laughs. When I am not with others I am usually rehearsing or composing music, or relaxing with my cat, Calcifer.
I am available on Tuesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays for appointments. I offer session in person as well as by video. I prefer to hold sessions in person as I believe our work together is more impactful in the proper setting, but I understand people have complex lives and attending sessions in person can be difficult.
