At Ezra Counseling in Scottsdale, we place great importance on assembling a team of therapists who possess diverse strengths, backgrounds, and personalities. Our goal is to create a team that goes above and beyond to matching individuals with the therapist who best meets their mental health needs. We highly value growth and ongoing learning as therapists, investing in our own personal and professional improvement, and maintaining authenticity in our interactions.

We are here to help you resolve shame, get un-stuck, find healing, grace, and love for yourself!

Our History

Ezra Counseling was established in August 2019, approximately six months before the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. At the time of our opening, we could not have anticipated the immense demand for counseling services that would follow.

Nonetheless, we recognized the significance of seeking assistance, fostering hope, and facilitating healing even before the pandemic. We are grateful to be able to provide support to all those affected by the pandemic as well as individuals with various mental health needs.

Our Process

As a team of therapists, we remain committed to being a beacon of hope and providing a source of light even in the darkest of times. Our dedication to supporting individuals through their challenges and offering a safe place to process and encouragement remains unwavering. We are here to stand by you and help navigate the journey towards healing and growth.
