Featured Counselors with Immediate Openings

    Hello! My name is Stephanie. When you and I begin working together, we create your Pause-Space. In this space you are able to unmask and to be who you need to be for no one else other than yourself! What is it that you need to have incorporated into your
Pause-Space to make it yours or to make it work well for you?
    I use a blend of strength-based, person- centered approach and unconditional positive regard for everyone I encounter. I use a holistic, creative and trauma-informed approach to the work that I love doing.
I believe that healing happens when one feels connected, safe and grounded- which is where I use grounding, music, movement, mindfulness and quiet to assist in feeling safely grounded and connected. Once grounded, you can then open up through use of Polyvagal Theory, Internal Family Systems, Attachment Theory, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. I also introduce music therapy and aspects of art therapy into sessions.

     I specialize in working with You who have experienced: Childhood trauma (to include sexual abuse), Family of Origin Dysfunction, Generational Trauma, Relational Trauma/intimate partner violence
Family/Relationship conflict, Marital Issues
    Other areas of specialty include:
ADHD, Anxiety, Couples, LGBTQ, PTSD, Reproductive challenges, Self-esteem, Spirituality/Faith.
    When appropriate, I will incorporate my experiences throughout my decade+ of working in the Mental Health field.
When I am not working with you, I am enjoying time with my husband, family and my close knit community of friends. I love coffee, laughter, conversation, nature and making memories!!
I am practicing under the supervision of Jonathan Statt, LMFT. I am available Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and then on Thursday and Friday for in-person or Telehealth sessions.
I look forward to being a part of your Healing Journey! I can be reached at sconlee@affinitycounseling.org or 520-257-1168 x712

     Hello! I am currently an Intern Counselor with Affinity Counseling Center as I pursue my masters degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling through Grand Canyon University, and I am working under the supervision of Daniel Orozco, LPC. I am looking forward to providing a safe, trusting, and productive therapeutic environment, as I continue my training and education. It is my belief that everyone is entitled to mental health counseling from well trained and knowledgeable counselors and therapists. 

     My past experiences include working in child welfare and with various community partners to provide support to those in need. Currently, I am a school counselor at a local elementary school where I provide school counseling services to students, such as mediation, crisis counseling, skills training.

     These experiences have allowed me to see how much change can be made from providing the appropriate mental health counseling for all of those in need. We all face challenges in life, and having someone on your side to help you navigate your challenges can make all the difference.

     During this time of internship, I strive to become one of those counselors that supports and guides their clients through research based and data-driven practices, while providing the care and attention that each human deserves. 

     When I’m not with Affinity Counseling Center, I can be found spending time with my family. We love to watch movies, work on arts and crafts, and spend quality time together. I love to travel and stay busy, just as much as I love to stay in and relax. 

     I am available for appointments on Tuesdays & Sundays.  I can be reached at mjames@affinitycounseling.org or 520-257-1168 x704.

     Howdy, all! I recently settled in the Tucson area after a decade of moving around as a military spouse and seeing the impacts of stigma and untreated mental health on military service members and their families. I transitioned from studying wildlife behavior to clinical mental health counseling, focusing on working in a trauma-informed manner. I have worked with a wide variety of presentations through community mental health, as well as in treatment centers addressing substance use, co-occurring conditions, mood disorders, PTSD, and c-PTSD. 

    I approach everyone with open curiosity and authenticity. You are the expert in your lived experience, and my goal is to travel alongside you in your journey to help spot connections and details to help bring clarity and healing. I have post-graduate degrees in Ecotherapy and Experiential therapy, Narrative Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy, and Acceptance Commitment Therapy. 

     When not working, I enjoy spending time with my family, going on hikes, and exploring the wonders in natural spaces. I also enjoy engaging in geeky hobbies, like playing video games, tabletop games, and over-analyzing tv shows.

By sharing your struggles and your ideal future, we can collaborate in changing those aspirations into realizations.

     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. While I was pursuing my master’s degree I have worked with children through adults as well as families that are struggling and in need of support. I have experience working closely with children who have been diagnosed with autism to help with furthering their development.

       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.
