About Kathleen Phalen

I graduated from Arizona State University with a Masters degree in clinical Social Work. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Arizona with 27 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, coping with addictions, & motivation, self esteem, and confidence. I also have experience working with depression. I offer my clients an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.

“Kathleen is great. I'm lucky I found her. Had to go through a few therapists that weren't fitting what I needed, but Kathleen has the experience in alcohol recovery that I need.”

“Kathleen is amazing, she pushes me to do the homework she assigns me, it’s what I asked for and needed, she takes the time to listen and understand. Kathleen is an amazing therapist and I’d recommend her to anyone who needs some direction. I’m a difficult patient and she tries to understand me unlike others. She’s great! 10/10”

“Kate is amazing. She has been so helpful in reminding me that my power lies within me, and has helped me choose differently than repeating patterns that don’t serve me. She is kind and gentle, but also isn’t afraid to call me out when I try to give to others before my own cup is full. I feel very safe and supported in talking to her. I can’t recommend her enough!”
