Pathways to Connection – Simple steps to enhance your wellness

Jenny Quinn, LMSW

Are you worried all the time? I work with people who are worried all the time. Are you experiencing fear, stress, loss, trauma, depression, insecurity, relational struggles, and lack of joy? I work with people who experience the same. As a tele-health practitioner, I believe that connection, empathy, and compassion are integral factors in meeting the trials of daily life. I offer a safe, open, and affirming environment for healing and growth. I am here to help you walk through the challenges you are experiencing.

I operate with the knowledge that individuals experience trauma, and this impacts how we experience and walk through life. With this understanding, I am empathetic to the impact of traumatic life experiences. I use my training, experience, and compassion to support clients in regulating in times of distress.

I provide a safe, open, and supportive environment where expression and personal exploration is welcome and encouraged.

Maria Rawson, LAC, CCTS-F

I am dedicated to improving the lives of those I work with. I am passionate about connecting with the people I serve and creating a safe environment to process, work, and manage trauma. My goal is to encourage growth and resilience in those who have survived traumatic experiences, bring families together, and heal generational traumas.

I am a Certified Clinical Trauma Specialist and hold a certificate in Traumatic Stress Studies through the Trauma Research Foundation.

Using various therapeutic techniques, I meet people where they are and guide them at their own pace. I use the Empowerment and Resilience Model to help people process their trauma. I believe that, in some cases, the traumatic events do not need to be discussed to build resiliency and move forward in life.

I feel strongly about protecting and preventing revictimization or retraumatization. I invite you to reach out and allow me to help you find your state of grace.

Hi!

I spent much of my childhood here in Phoenix, attending North High School in Central Phoenix. Growing up with both parents suffering from substance use, I became fascinated with why and how addiction happens. I graduated from Arizona State University with both my Bachelor’s in Psychology and Master’s in Counseling in 2014. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the State of Arizona. I began my work as a therapist 10 years ago in South Phoenix with an intensive outpatient program for teens and their families. In the program, I specialized in substance abuse treatment, adverse childhood trauma, and other mental health concerns using group, individual and family therapy modalities. I transitioned into a Supervisory role in 2018, while continuing to work with a small caseload of people. Over the years in my leadership role I have continued to find that my passion lies with working with people on the road to recovery and healing. I believe that therapy can change the outcome of lives; and I recognize that interpersonal skills and the therapeutic alliance are the foundation of change for people and families. Using humor in my approach to therapy is important to help people feel comfortable being themselves! Helping each person create a life worth living is the ultimate goal. In my free time, I spend time with my 3 dogs and husband, practice Taekwondo, and travel.

Sarah Rule, LMSW

As a social worker, my goal is to help others reach their goals and overcome their struggles. Coming from a background of community mental health, I believe that everyone deserves to have their voice heard, believed, and understood. I work with people of all backgrounds and needs. Compassionate care is important to me, and I strive to be a safe person with whom others can connect. I am not the expert in my clients’ lives’, and therefore aim to collaboratively face and work through clients’ struggles with them.

In my eight (8) years working in public behavioral health, I have assisted many clients in dealing with their depression, anxiety, PTSD, and trauma. I follow the core values of social work: 1) Social justice. 2) Respect, 3) Human Rights, 4) Integrity, 5) Self-determination, and 6) Empathy.

I am a licensed master’s level social worker, with a background in psychology. It is my goal to help people feel better in all areas of their lives. I have over 8 years of experience working in behavioral health, and providing counseling and therapy services to those who seek it. I have no agenda – my only wish is to help you find yourself again.

Kristen Searcy, LMSW

As a Licensed Master Social Worker with seven years of trauma-based social work experience, my goal in working with people is best expressed with the words of Dr. J. Eric Gentry: I strive to be “an elegant and effective instrument of transformation and agent of change in the lives of others.” I specialize in working with women and adolescent/teenage girls using a 21st-century approach to mental health and trauma work utilizing the most fundamental aspect of trauma-focused therapy. The foundation of this approach is honoring the interconnectedness of mind, body, spirit, and soul in leading people to a life of freedom from trauma and mental health-related challenges. I work with both individuals and their partners and families.

The metaphor of a desert in bloom best describes my practice philosophy. While all cacti have the potential to bloom, not all have the right combination of elements to do so. They must exist in an environment that provides them the right amount of nourishment to flourish. It is the collective environment that determines if they will or will not produce their flowers. Are you being nourished enough to bloom? Is the environment you live in and provide for yourself giving you the ability to thrive? It is my belief that all the aspects of your life and parts of your body work together to shape your experience of life.

I spent two years of my social work career working at a crisis domestic violence shelter and as a domestic violence victim advocate and five years at a mental health social services agency for children in my role as a High Needs Case Manager, ending with a clinical internship as a trauma therapist. I worked with single women and women with families experiencing domestic violence and children in state care, foster care, and the juvenile justice system. I also worked at a residential eating disorder treatment program and specialize in helping people work through disordered thoughts around food and eating. These experiences led to my passion for trauma processing and healing and solidified my commitment to helping people heal, grow, bloom and thrive.

“Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.” (Viktor Frankl)

In my practice, I am culturally sensitive, open minded, and non-judgmental. I’ve worked with people struggling with relationship issues, social acceptance, identity, integration into their communities, among others. Many struggles begin with the challenge of accepting yourself for who you are and where you come from.

My primary theoretical orientation is Narrative therapy. You are the main character in your story and I strive to help guide you to take back your power and write your own story so that you may find healing and peace. I incorporate a variety of other techniques that include CBT, mindfulness-based interventions, narrative therapy, and others.

People seek therapy for guidance, understanding, and relief. During our sessions we’ll work on building rapport and skill building to apply in your everyday interactions. We’ll take a look at your thought process, emotions, actions, and behaviors in the present moment. I look forward to building a collaborative relationship.

There are times when obstacles are thrown at us that go unnoticed. As humans, we often forget how to face and overcome these obstacles. It takes courage to ask for help and share one’s emotions to feel heard and accepted. I was drawn to this profession through my love for relationships and a deep desire to understand emotional processes and healing. The hope I have for my clients is to find physical, emotional, and mental healing through connection and self-awareness. Together, we can work on creating an environment that is filled with love and acceptance to overcome the challenges that are present.

There may be times when one might feel the weight of life’s twists and turns. With constant changes, we may feel uncomfortable or ‘stuck’. Life is a journey full of challenges. Sometimes we need support and compassion to recognize our fullest capabilities. Humans need connection and it is when we find a safe space where we can recognize the resiliency that brought us here and keeps us moving forward with confidence that we often thrive. While building a therapeutic alliance, we can navigate and work through any blockage in an open and affirming space to allow for emotional process and balance. Together, we will create a personalized plan based on your own individual needs.

I am a Licensed Master Social Worker dedicated to helping teens and adults navigate all areas of their lives and everyday struggles.

As a telehealth practitioner, we will work towards creating new meanings and redefine what it means to be human in a world presenting us with challenges. We will reflect, process, and let go of self-defeating attitudes or behaviors that prevent us from seeing the beauties throughout the storms and instead, to bloom where we are planted. With commitment to the process, there is an opportunity for renewal and growth.

I believe we all strive for connection in our lives and as we work together to find healing and peace during challenging times, I hope to help you feel more connected and grounded in your life.

Sometimes a person seeks out the support of a therapist because they are experiencing distress from everyday life experiences, at other times, our own life experiences have caused trauma that is impacting our current ability to function with fullness. I believe that if we are to understand our current thoughts, feelings, and patterns of behavior, we have to explore our life experiences that may still be impacting us.

As a telehealth practitioner, I provide a safe emotional space to explore and work with you through life’s challenges while you are in the physical space you feel most comfortable. With compassion and unconditional positive regard, I am here to help you work through mental health struggles, past trauma, and everyday life challenges.

As a licensed associate counselor in the state of Arizona, I firmly believe in your personal agency, and look forward to seeing you achieve your goals. If you feel a tug to begin therapy via telemed sessions, or have any questions, I invite you to contact me by phone or email.

Raul Espericueta, LMSW

As a seasoned nonprofit executive, educator and family man, I have been immersed in the helping profession all of my career. As a recent licensed Master’s level Social Work therapist I’m prepared to listen attentively and assist men and couples in promoting healthy and holistic practices for personal development.

I am trained in assisting men with trauma history, anxiety, depression, professional coaching, marital issues, self-esteem, addictions and sexual abuse. I’m capable of utilizing the most appropriate means of healing and recovery while paying attention to the unique characteristics of the people served.

A good Social Worker is an individual whose empathy and propensity for service is attentive to the unique aspects of the person seeking assistance. Together we will engage in a path that promotes healing from the past, courage for today and hope for your future.

Aniett Von Konsky, LPC

Hi! My name is Aniett and I am a bi-lingual tele-health licensed professional counselor. I strive to provide individuals of diverse backgrounds with a therapy experience that is authentic, relaxing, fun, and a place of connection. My hope is for my client to recognize their strengths, be an active participant in their journey towards healing, and feel hopeful for their future. My work draws from experiences of working with individuals who have struggled with addictions, substance use, and trauma which have created internal and external conflicts.

I desire to demonstrate to individuals that there is meaning to their stories, even the painful ones. My hope and desire in our work together is that you are able to feel encouraged, supported, and safe enough to share your story to help you overcome those challenges and help you begin to feel better!

I am also able to provide a Christian based approach to therapy for those who desire to integrate their faith into treatment. Connect with me via Pathways To Connection.
