Your Therapist in Mesa, AZ for Trauma, Anxiety & Depression
Many of my clients feel overwhelmed, exhausted, or quietly falling apart on the inside. They’ve tried to keep it together for everyone else, but they’re running out of energy and hope.
- Teens and young adults navigating anxiety, depression, identity, and school stress
- Adults carrying trauma, grief, or burnout that won’t just “go away”
- People who feel stuck in cycles of shame, self-criticism, and emotional numbness
If you feel like something needs to change—but you’re not sure where to start—therapy can give you a safe place to be honest, process, and heal.
Meet Amy Irons, LAC
I’m a Licensed Associate Counselor practicing at Core Balance Counseling in Mesa, Arizona. I specialize in helping adolescents and adults navigate the effects of trauma, anxiety, depression, and overwhelming life stress.
My approach is trauma-informed, collaborative, and down-to-earth. I use evidence-based tools like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help you understand what’s happening inside and build practical skills to cope.
In our work together, you can expect a safe, non-judgmental space where all parts of your story are welcome. We’ll move at your pace, check in regularly, and create a plan that fits who you are—not just a diagnosis.
