We are able to offer in-person sessions at our North Scottsdale office: 7730 E Greenway Rd Suite 205 Scottsdale, AZ 85024. Please note, some of our providers only work virtually. When you fill out our new patient questionnaire, you have the option to select which you or your teen prefers.

At this time, we offer virtual services to all Arizona residents. Unfortunately licensing laws prevent us from seeing clients outside of Arizona at this time.

A slot is held exclusively for you. If you cancel under 24 hours, there is a $75 fee. If you no-show the appointment the full session fee is charged.

It is nearly impossible to put an exact time on the therapy process because each client is different. In general, you should learn some skills and feel relief in the first few months. However, for clients with significant trauma history it may take longer. Our 10-week programs will equip your teens with the skills and a start to practice!

In our mental health treatment, we aim to address the whole person: brain, body, mind, spirit, and lifestyle. We recognize mental health impacts, and is impacted by, all of these factors. When feeling depressed, the body feels tired and lethargic. Depression often leads to isolation and decreased appetite or overeating. This is also true of anxiety, trauma, and more. We aim to address all of the factors contributing in a holistic way, which is where our name “BrainBody” comes from!

Oh, you mean Emmy? She is our practice mascot - she represents the emotion “monster” that lies within all of us. Many of us learn to fear her (our inner emotions), so we try to suppress, reject and ignore her. We believe when people don’t learn to handle their own inner Emmy as children and teens, this can cause chronic anxiety, depression, and sadness in adulthood.

Emmy is pictured as a cartoon to represent childhood and she is a monster which symbolizes how many children learn to fear their emotions. How we learn to manage our emotions as young children often becomes the same techniques we will try to use as teens and adults. Emmy represents the young and “scary” emotions that we try to run from when we are teens and adults.

Emmy appears on our site displaying the 5 primary emotions: happy, sad, disgusted, afraid, and angry. Have you found them all?
