Welcome!

Gwen & her horse Dillion.

Hello and welcome! I’m so glad you’re here.

I’m Gwenevaer, a Licensed Associate Counselor and Certified Youth Mental Health Specialist based in Arizona. I specialize in working with kids, teens, and families, offering support through life’s challenges with compassion, creativity, and care.

Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, or behavioral challenges, this space is designed to be a safe and encouraging environment where healing and growth can begin. I use an eclectic approach tailored to each individual’s needs—including Play Therapy, Expressive Arts, DBT, CBT, mindfulness-based techniques, and Equine Assisted Therapy—because I believe therapy should feel just as unique as the person sitting across from me.

This blog is an extension of that supportive space. Here, I’ll be sharing helpful information, tools, and insights on a variety of mental health topics—everything from understanding your child’s big emotions to tips for creating calm at home, navigating trauma recovery, and more. My hope is to provide resources that are not only informative but also empowering for parents, caregivers, and young people alike.

Thank you for stopping by. I’m honored to be a part of your journey.

Warmly,

Gwenevaer
