Arizona is where this practice lives, and care here is hybrid: in person at the Flagstaff office, virtual, or a combination of both.
Currently accepting new clients
Request an Arizona appointmentArizona Behavioral Health Associates, P.C., trading as Psychotherapy.Com℠, practices from 710 N Beaver Street in Flagstaff. Arizona clients therefore have a choice the rest of our states do not: an in-person visit at that office, a secure virtual one, or a mixture of the two as the season and the schedule allow. Both clinicians are available here, which means psychological services and professional counseling under a single roof.
Our physical presence deeply grounds us in Flagstaff's unique blend of scientific research, manufacturing, and the outdoor industry. We have extensive experience supporting W. L. Gore & Associates, intimately understanding its distinctive lattice culture, alongside professionals at Lowell Observatory, the Discovery Telescope, the USGS Astrogeology Science Center, JPL facilities, TGen, Flagstaff Medical Center, and NAU's Pathogen and Microbiome Institute. We also work closely with public servants at the US Forest Service, Coconino County, and the City of Flagstaff. Across the region, we see the broader workforce powering local manufacturing facilities like Machine Solutions, POBA Medical, Joy Cone, and Purina, as well as those driving our famous homegrown outdoor and hospitality brands—from Kahtoola, Canyon Coolers, and Rogue Panda to Mother Road Brewing, Pizzicletta, Forêt, and NiMarco's Pizza. We understand the specific, everyday pressures of living and working in Northern Arizona.
That understanding of varied workplace cultures scales across a state where two towns can be half a day apart by road. Whether you are navigating the rigorous engineering environments of Raytheon, Intel, or Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing in the Valley, or living in Prescott or Tucson, our practice bridges the distance. We also have specialized experience working closely with founders, CEOs, and executives who are only seasonally based in Arizona; our credentials allow us to continue your care seamlessly by secure video throughout the year, provided you travel to another PSYPACT® or Counseling Compact™ state. For full-time residents, a family near Phoenix can keep a weekly hour through a July when nobody wants to sit in a car, and winter closures on the northern routes simply mean an office visit moves to a screen. You can work with clinicians who grasp the professional and seasonal pressures you face, minus the highway in between.
Because both clinicians practice here, the range available in Arizona is the widest we offer, running from formal psychological testing to counseling for children and couples.
Treatment takes the physical side of anxiety as seriously as the mental one — breath, sleep, the muscles that never quite let go — alongside structured practice in the situations you have been avoiding.
An evaluation may be sought for diagnostic clarity, school accommodation, employment screening, or a court matter; Dr. Lusk has been qualified by the State of Arizona as an expert witness. Format and suitability are settled in consultation.
Adults and young people with neurodiverse learning profiles often arrive after years of partial explanations. Testing clarifies what is attention, what is autism, and what is neither; how much can be done remotely is discussed first.
Children may be seen at the office or on screen, with the method matched to age. Ms. Braun-Dunagan brings particular expertise with children and youth, including advocacy and restoring healthy relationships after a rupture.
Couples work here is practical: what the recurring fight is actually about, how each person's history shows up inside it, and what a different response would look like on an ordinary Tuesday night.
Dr. Lusk is bilingual, and sessions may be held in English or Spanish. The work often concerns the strain of holding two cultures at once, and households where the generations have adapted at different speeds.
Operating locally allows us to offer a hybrid arrangement, combining in-person visits for psychological evaluations or young children with virtual sessions when travel proves difficult. Throughout a course of treatment, you might alternate between our physical office and video appointments. Our primary framework is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), applied at a steady, measured pace. Clients are never rushed through a predetermined number of meetings, as we do not offer a quick fix. We develop a written roadmap together and revise it as circumstances change over the months. When a particular concern requires the expertise of a medical specialist, a local prescriber, or a school team, we will clearly communicate that recommendation to ensure you receive the most appropriate support.
Two clinicians see Arizona clients: our Clinical Director, Della S. Lusk, Ph.D., and Alethea Braun-Dunagan, M.A., Licensed Professional Counselor, who is also this practice's intake specialist.
Clinical Director · Bilingual Clinical Psychologist
Dr. Lusk is licensed to practice psychology in Arizona by the Arizona Board of Psychologist Examiners, license no. PSY-003232, and practices under NPI 1295925386. Care here rests on that state license rather than on an interstate agreement. Arizona care is hybrid: in person at the Flagstaff office, virtual, or a combination of both, whichever suits the work.
Dr. Lusk is a bilingual Licensed Clinical Psychologist with a career of more than twenty-five years, and Arizona is the state that has qualified her as an expert witness. Her degrees are an A.B. from Smith College and a Clinical Psychology doctorate from the California School of Professional Psychology–San Diego, which holds APA accreditation. She offers therapy for individuals, couples, families, and groups, plus forensic, educational, employment screening, and neuropsychological evaluation.

Licensed Professional Counselor
Ms. Braun-Dunagan provides counseling to clients located in Arizona through the Counseling Compact™, and has availability for Medicare and TriCare clients.
Ms. Braun-Dunagan is a Licensed Professional Counselor providing individual, couples, and family counseling and groups to Arizona clients. She uses Cognitive Behavioral techniques within a holistic, individualized approach and has extensive experience with children, adolescents, and adults. Her professional interests include women's issues, postpartum mood disorders, stress management, relapse prevention for addictions, and working with culturally diverse individuals.
Request an appointmentFull biographies, training, and areas of expertise are listed on our providers page. You can also read Dr. Lusk’s licensure and credentials and Ms. Braun-Dunagan’s licensure and areas of focus in full. You are welcome to ask any clinician directly about their qualifications and experience.
Arizona is where both clinicians are licensed, so no interstate arrangement is required for care delivered here. Dr. Lusk practices as a Licensed Clinical Psychologist and Ms. Braun-Dunagan as a Licensed Professional Counselor, each under an Arizona license, whether the appointment happens at the Flagstaff office or over a secure video link. Arizona also participates in PSYPACT®, which is how Dr. Lusk serves clients in other participating jurisdictions from this office.
The location rule still applies, in the ordinary direction. An Arizona resident who is elsewhere on a session date — a student home for the term, someone wintering in another state — should tell us, because the question becomes whether that other jurisdiction is covered, and the commission publishes which ones are. In-person visits are arranged the same way as any other appointment, by telephone with our office.
Participating jurisdictions are published by the compact commissions and can change. You can review current psychology participation at psypact.gov, find the relevant psychology licensing board through the PSYPACT® board directory, or check counseling privileges at CompactConnect. If you are not sure which applies to you, call (928) 774-7997 and we will confirm before you schedule.
Our office sits in a university town, and we have worked for years with students, faculty, and staff at Northern Arizona University, University of Arizona, and Arizona State University, as well as private institutions including Grand Canyon University, Prescott College, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University (Prescott), Arizona Christian University, and Midwestern University. Care continues over breaks so long as the client stays in a covered jurisdiction.
Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Prescott is one we have particular experience with, students, faculty and staff alike. Being in state, the hybrid option applies there as it does anywhere else in Arizona.
Flagstaff clients frequently come to the office, while people in Phoenix, Tucson, Mesa, Scottsdale, Tempe, Chandler, and Prescott usually meet us by video, though anyone is welcome to make the drive north. The communities named below are simply where our current Arizona clients live.
Yes. The office is at 710 N Beaver Street, BLDG 4, in Flagstaff, and in-person appointments are available there to Arizona clients. Many people mix the two, coming in when it suits them and meeting on video during bad weather or a crowded week. Ask our office what each clinician's in-office schedule looks like.
Either is a reasonable starting point, and intake will help you choose. Dr. Lusk is a psychologist and the person to see for psychological evaluations and testing. Ms. Braun-Dunagan is a Licensed Professional Counselor with real depth in work with children and youth, and she is our intake specialist, so she often hears the first description of a problem.
Both clinicians do. A session may include two partners, a parent and a child, or several household members, and alternating between joint meetings and individual ones is common. The aim is a shared account of the difficulty rather than a verdict about who caused it.
Dr. Lusk is bilingual in English and Spanish, so Spanish-speaking clients in Arizona can have their appointments in Spanish, intake and evaluation feedback included. Family sessions sometimes run in both languages when the generations are not equally comfortable in one of them. Mention your preference when you telephone, and intake will schedule accordingly.
Our rates are sent in a fee agreement when you schedule an appointment. Our office goes over any out-of-network questions with new clients ahead of a first appointment, so please ring (928) 774-7997 or write to info@psychotherapy.com. Staff can also explain how records and documentation work when an evaluation is part of the plan. Your clinician will not raise the subject during an appointment.
We accept all major credit and debit cards, and we gladly accept HSA, FSA, and HRA cards so you can use pre-tax dollars toward your care. Our practice generally operates out-of-network. This allows us to protect your privacy, keep care highly personalized, and avoid insurance-mandated session limits.
Our rates are sent in a fee agreement when you schedule an appointment. Please check with your insurance company regarding your out-of-network benefits. As a courtesy, we will submit claims on your behalf upon request, and any reimbursement will be sent directly to the insured. Call (928) 774-7997 or email info@psychotherapy.com if you have questions.
Our services are by appointment only, during normal business hours. Evening, weekend, and early morning appointments are sometimes available for established clients.
Arizona clients can ring (928) 774-7997 and say whether they would prefer the Flagstaff office or a virtual visit, and with which clinician if they have a preference. Intake asks a few questions, sends the fee agreement, and books the first hour.
