EMDR & Trauma Therapists in Peoria, Arizona
Meet our trauma-informed therapists in Peoria, AZ
In-Person Therapy | Peoria, Arizona | Serving the West Valley
Every clinician at Inside Out was trained by the same EMDR instructor, supervised under the same clinical standard, and selected for the same reason: the ability to do deep, honest, relational work without flinching.
What that means for you is that whoever you work with here, you're not taking a gamble. You're choosing from a team that was built with intention, and that holds itself to a standard most practices don't name out loud.
If you're not sure who to choose, that's okay. Browse the clinicians below or reach out and we'll help you find the right fit.
Arianna Saenz-Ochoa
MA, LPC | Trauma Therapist & EMDR Clinician | Serving: Adults, Teens (16+)
Arianna works with adults and teens who have been managing anxiety, emotional shutdown, or the quiet weight of unprocessed experiences, often for years. Using EMDR and an integrative, trauma-informed approach, she helps clients move beyond the coping strategies that once made sense but are no longer serving them. She brings particular depth to high-achieving adults, working moms, and teens whose emotional responses feel bigger or faster than they can manage.
Heather Colton-Pritt
MS, LAC | Trauma Therapist | | Serving: Adults, Teens (14+)
Heather works with adults and teens navigating anxiety, depression, grief, and the relationship patterns that keep repeating no matter how hard they try to change them. Her approach is warm, person-centered, and integrative, drawing from ACT, CBT, mindfulness, and Motivational Interviewing to meet each client where they are. She has a particular attunement to clients who already understand their patterns intellectually but can't seem to shift them, and to grief that doesn't fit a neat category. Her EMDR training is currently in progress as part of Inside Out's required certification pathway.
Jasmin Corral
MS, LAC, Certified Grief Doula | Trauma Therapist & Couples Counselor
Jasmin works with individuals, couples, and older adults navigating the emotional weight of relationships, loss, and major life transitions. As Inside Out's only couples therapist and Certified Grief Doula, she brings particular depth to clients who are grieving something that others don't always recognize as loss, the end of a relationship, a shift in identity, a chapter that closed before they were ready. Her approach is direct without being harsh, and warm without letting avoidance run the room. Clients who have spent years being strong for everyone else tend to find their way to Jasmin.
Natalie Arbizu
MSE, LAC | Trauma & Anxiety Therapist | Serving: Children (10+), Teens, Adults
Natalie is Inside Out's youngest-serving clinician, working with children as young as 10 through adults. She brings a personal understanding of first responder family dynamics and athletic resilience that shapes how she shows up for clients who have learned to carry things quietly. As a licensed associate counselor, her rate is more accessible, making quality trauma-informed care available to more people who need it.
Rachel Hodgson
M.Ed., LAC | Play Therapist, Sand Tray & EMDR Clinician | Serving: Children (5+) & Adults
Rachel is Inside Out's play therapy and creative therapy specialist — the only clinician on the team working with children as young as five using sand tray and EMDR in combination. As a Child of Deaf Adults (CODA) fluent in both BSL and ASL, she brings lived cultural understanding to Deaf, Hard of Hearing, and CODA clients and families, a rare offering in the West Valley. Her humanistic and existential approach centers healing at the root, not just the symptoms.
Ralph Daoud, LAC
MA, LAC | Trauma & Anxiety Therapist | Serving Adolescents, Adults, Older Adults
Ralph works with adolescents, adults, and older adults navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, and life transitions. A former collegiate athlete, competitive bodybuilder, and personal trainer, he brings a whole-person lens to the work, one that takes physical, mental, and emotional health seriously as connected, not separate. He has a particular attunement to men, athletes, and high-performers who have spent years managing quietly and are ready for something different. His EMDR training is currently in progress as part of Inside Out's required certification pathway.
EMDR training in progress — rate reflects this.
Christina Behrens
MA, LPC | Founder & Clinical Director | Serving: Adults (18+)
Christina founded Inside Out and sets the clinical standard every therapist on this team is trained and supervised to meet. She works exclusively with adults — particularly high-achieving professionals, helping professionals, and moms — using advanced EMDR, sand tray, and somatic approaches to address complex trauma, dissociation, and OCD. If you've tried therapy before and felt like it didn't go deep enough, Christina is often where that changes.
What Every Inside Out Therapist Has in Common
Every clinician at Inside Out was trained in EMDR through the same instructor, grounded in Francine Shapiro's foundational model. Every clinician is supervised by Christina Behrens, LPC, which means no client is ever working with just one set of eyes on their care. And every clinician was chosen because they know how to be in the room with hard things without making it about themselves.
The physical space reflects the same standard. No overhead lighting. No degrees on the wall. Couches, blankets, fidget tools, a community bookshelf, and Liberty (our therapy dog) who shows up whenever Christina does.
This is what inside out healing looks like in practice.
