  • Welcome!

    Taking the first step toward change can be really hard, and we’re so glad that you’re here.

    We want you to know that you don’t have to face it all alone. Change is possible, and working with a therapist can help you to overcome challenges and build on your unique strengths to live the life you want.

    Desert Lotus Counseling is a group of compassionate and skilled therapists committed to partnering with you on your path to wellness. We believe that the most important element of counseling is creating a safe space where people feel heard, understood and supported. This relationship, based on non-judgmental acceptance, forms a foundation for the work we do with our clients.


    “The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.” -Carl Rogers

    Reaching out is a courageous first step, and we are here to support you when you’re ready.
