We care about your well being
Our Philosophy
The Arizona Behavioral Health Associates are committed to providing effective treatment programs for clients seeking guidance through periods of changes and difficulties in their lives.
You and your therapist set your goals together, and we provide a caring, supportive place to reach them. Our work draws mainly on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, along with creative problem solving, active listening, and practical teaching, and we adjust as we learn what helps you most.
Every contact, record, and session is kept strictly confidential. We work to the highest ethical and professional standards so that you feel safe here. We do not record sessions, nor do we use any information about your session through Artificial Intelligence (AI). What you say here stays here (within the limits of the law).
Your first conversation with us can be a complimentary 20-minute introductory video visit with our counselor. We talk through what brings you in, how we would approach it, payment, and scheduling, answer your questions, and recommend the therapist best suited to you. (Fees do apply to in-person meetings, Employee Assistance Program visits, consultation or assessment by a psychologist, and urgent consultations, including after discharge from an inpatient or intensive program.)
For an appointment, click here to schedule online or email us at info@psychotherapy.com. You may also call our office at (928) 774-7997 and ask for Scheduling. (We do not accept calls when we are with clients, so your call may be answered electronically).
The fastest way to reach us is through our confidential portal or email. If you leave a message on our confidential voicemail, we will return your call as soon as we can.
We offer a very limited number of sliding scale fee appointments (depending on your ability to pay), ensuring affordable, competent and comprehensive counseling services to local, in person, Northern Arizona residents. We may have reduced cost services delivered by supervised interns. We also offer a prompt pay discount for some services for those not utilizing insurance.
Our Licensed Professional Counselor accepts Traditional Medicare and can submit claims to secondary Medicare Insurance. We can also ‘balance bill’ TriCare West insurance (we charge to you the difference between our rate and TriCare’s reimbursement). We cannot submit claims to Medicaid or AHCCCS.
Our Services
Couples/Marital or Family Therapy
Structured sessions for couples and families to understand one another better, communicate more clearly, and work through the conflicts that keep coming back.
Individual Therapy
One on one therapy that provides individualized attention and guidance for those seeking help with challenges in their lives. Our therapists primarily use a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy model, but each practitioner retains their own individual style and preferences in helping with problems.
See our providers page to get more information about our therapists.
Biofeedback
A technique which involves teaching individuals to become more aware of their own physiological processes which can help in a variety of conditions including stress, chronic pain, anxiety, hypertension and headache.
Group Therapy
Facilitates individual growth in a socialized setting. Groups may have specific themes, where members share a common issue, or general growth oriented groups that do not involve a specific theme.
Group experiences are an excellent way to develop better communication skills, understanding of others and of oneself.
Crisis Consultation
While we do not offer crisis services, we can make individual arrangements for established clients experiencing severe emotional problems requiring urgent assistance. Please speak with your provider directly should you need additional support. Call 988 for any emergency or immediate need.
Psychological Assessment
Includes intelligence testing, personality assessment, learning disability, vocational, custody and forensic evaluations as well as fitness for duty evaluations. We also evaluate for executive functioning issues, neuropsychological disorders and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorders, Autism, Anxiety, Depression, Eating Disorders, OCD, and other issues.
Coaching
We offer Executive Coaching and Skill Development services, as well as Life Coaching and mentoring arrangements. These services are not therapy, nor should they be interpreted as such.
Corporate Services
Includes provision of Employee Assistance Programs (EAP), Critical Incident Response Teams, Special Education Training, Advocacy and Independent Psychoeducational Evaluations for School Districts and students.
We also provide specialized services to the entertainment industry. Dr. Lusk has conducted numerous suitability evaluations for MTV shows such as The Real World, was the on-call psychologist for the Discovery Channel’s Skywire Live, the live broadcast of Nik Wallenda’s high-wire walk near the Grand Canyon on Diné (Navajo) land in June 2013, and was listed as a resource for the Dr. Phil show in the early 2000s. She also presents Living With Loss, a free video series on grief and developmental disabilities produced by the Molly Lawson Foundation.
Other Services
We also periodically offer Anonymous Screenings for Depression, Anxiety, Substance Abuse and Eating Disorders; Available only during national screening days.
