What is therapy like? What does a typical session with you look like?

Sessions with me are rooted in connection. I use the therapeutic space as a model for interpersonal connection and to support my clients with increasing their connection with self. I truly believe that the therapy space is yours and like to collaborate with you on how to best support you heal and grow.

Hi! I’m Rhiannon Garcia-Penning, Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (153386) and founder of Solful Therapy. I believe in the importance of authentic connection, not only in our relationships with others but also with ourselves. I use the therapeutic space to promote growth, healing, help you explore parts of yourself or relationships and model how to deepen these connections and create new ones. I enjoy integrating some holistic practices in the therapeutic space to support with your wellness.

I like to start by hearing about your week, your life events, your stressors but also your positives. I truly believe in a strength based therapy and while we will talk about what is bothering you; its essential to also talk about what is going well. In some sessions, we may set goals or tasks for you to work on during the week, its important that I follow up to see how that task or goal felt and what worked and didn't. Each session is also about having you leave with a plan to implement to change what you did not like about the previous week as well as space to feel, process, and share your experience.

Dr. Heather Sheets has over 20 years of clinical experience with a doctorate degree in Clinical Psychology from an APA approved education and training program. She completed an APA approved doctoral internship at the University of Notre Dame where she received a specialty in alcohol and substance assessment and treatment. Following her internship, Dr. Sheets completed formal post-doctoral training at Northwestern University where she further developed expertise in short-term therapy, mindfullness, ACT/CBT, and narrative therapy.

In my therapy sessions, I focus on creating a safe and supportive environment where you can openly share your thoughts and feelings. Each session is personalized, typically beginning with a check-in to discuss any immediate concerns or progress since our last meeting. I use a collaborative approach, incorporating various evidence-based techniques tailored to your unique needs, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) or mindfulness practices. Together, we’ll explore your goals, challenges, and develop coping strategies to promote your overall well-being. My aim is to empower you in your healing journey and support you in becoming the best version of yourself.

I'm Jennifer Alexander, based in Phoenix, AZ, and my passion is helping you achieve your best health. With years of experience as a Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP), I’ve honed my skills across various areas of healthcare. I currently manage patients with psychiatric conditions and those needing inpatient detox services. In my previous role at Valley Sleep Center, I specialized in diagnosing and treating sleep disorders like insomnia and sleep apnea, and I managed therapies for sleep-disordered breathing. Before that, I worked in cardiology, focusing on heart rhythm disorders and heart failure management. I took care of patients with life-saving devices such as pacemakers and ICDs. My background also includes roles as a clinical service liaison and staff nurse in intensive care and telemetry units, where I developed comprehensive patient care plans. My goal is to provide compassionate, patient-centered care to support your health and well-being. Let’s work together towards your health goals.

During the initial appointment, I will gather information about your presenting challenges, past and current stressors, and what you hope to accomplish in therapy. I also utilize an eclectic approach, but I often find myself defaulting to humanist theories and dialectical behavioral therapy.

I am a licensed professional counselor with 17 years of experience. I am a wife, mother, grandmother, and wannabe philosopher. When I am not in the office, I am probably reading, bird-watching, or laughing at my own jokes. In the profession I've chosen, my specialties are couples and trauma. I also employ a compassionate yet evidence-based approach to help you achieve the goals that matter most to you. My clients say I am easy to talk to, and my sense of humor makes therapy a little easier during the 'hard' moments. I understand that the problems you bring to me are significant to you, and I will treat them with the importance they deserve. I honor that you are ready to explore what healing might feel like. We will go at your pace because what matters to you matters to me. In case you need to know, yes, I am LGBTQIA2S+ friendly, do see couples, and celebrate diversity in all its forms.

A typical session starts with rapport building, history gathering and creating goals for treatment. Follow up session will include reviewing any highs and lows of the week; reviewing any previous skills from the former session and learning techniques and mechanisms for new challenges as they related to your goals.
