About Dr. Mahoney
Supporting adolescents and young adults through life’s challenges-with compassion, collaboration, and practical tools for lasting growth.
Seeking therapy is a meaningful step, and finding the right therapist is an important part of that journey. My goal is to create a space where clients feel understood, supported and empowered to navigate life’s challenges with greater confidence.
I specialize in working with adolescents (12+), college students, and young adults (under 21) experiencing anxiety, depression, school-related concerns, relationship challenges, life transitions, and emotional regulation difficulties. Whether someone is feeling overwhelmed by academic pressures, adjusting to college, navigating a significant life change, or struggling with self confidence, therapy provides an opportunity to build practical skills while gaining a deeper understanding of themselves.
My Approach
I believe therapy is most effective when it is collaborative, individualized, and grounded in evidenced-based care. Each person brings unique strengths, experiences, and goals to the therapeutic process, and I tailor treatment to meet each client’s specific needs.
My approach integrates evidence-based therapies-including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based strategies, family systems perspectives, and strength-based interventions-to help clients develop practical coping skills, improve emotional well-being, strengthen relationships, and create meaningful, lasting change.
Therapy is not simply about reducing symptoms. It’s about helping people build resilience, increase self-awareness, improve confidence, and develop the skills needed to navigate future challenges long after therapy has ended
Supporting Parents
When working with adolescents, I believe parents play an important role in the therapeutic process. With the adolescent’s consent and when clinically appropriate, I collaborate with parents to strengthen communication, increase understanding, and provide guidance that supports growth both inside and outside of therapy.
My goal is to help families work together while also creating a safe and confidential space where adolescents feel comfortable exploring their own experiences.
Telehealth Throughout Arizona
I provide secure, HIPAA-compliant Telehealth therapy throughout Arizona, allowing clients to access care from the comfort and privacy of their own homes. Telehealth offers flexibility while maintaining the same high standard of personalized, evidence-based care.
What You Can Expect
Clients often tell me they appreciate having a therapist who is warm, thoughtful, and practical. I strive to create an environment where clients feel comfortable being themselves while also feeling challenges and supported as they work toward their goals.
Together, we will focus on building insight, strengthening coping skills, and creating meaningful progress that extends beyond the therapy session.
