For Chandler

A slower room, for people who have been running fast.

Life in Chandler can move fast. Demanding work, a household to hold together, and a body that has quietly been keeping score the whole time. The Wild Within was built to feel less like an appointment and more like a sacred, unhurried space, somewhere you can set all of that down for fifty minutes and actually be met. Holistic therapy here means we honor the whole of you: the nervous system, the stories you carry, the parts of you that learned to cope, and the spirit underneath all of it.

How We Work

  • Begin in the body. Breath, grounding, and noticing what your nervous system is doing right now
  • Get curious about your parts. The one that pushes, the one that numbs out, the one that is tired
  • Reach the root with EMDR. For experiences the body is still reacting to
  • Stay human. Authentic, warm, and never clinical for the sake of it

Therapy from Chandler, your way

Most of the practice currently meets by secure telehealth, and for a lot of Chandler clients that is the simplest way to start. Same therapist, same depth of work, from your home office, your car in a quiet parking lot, or your couch once the house settles down.

If you want to be in the room, the office is at 2160 E Brown Rd, Suite 3 in north Mesa. From Downtown Chandler, Ocotillo, Fulton Ranch, or the Price Corridor, the Loop 101 and Loop 202 get you there, or you can take Gilbert Road straight north. Plenty of people mix the two, in person when they can and online when the week gets full.

Therapy is licensed in Arizona and available by telehealth anywhere in the state. Coaching is available nationwide. Not sure which one fits what you are looking for? Reach out and we will talk it through. Closer to the Gilbert side? See holistic therapy for Gilbert.

What Chandler clients bring in.

Each of these has its own page if you want to go deeper.

Anxiety and burnout

The mind that will not switch off and the body that stays braced, worked with from the nervous system up.

Somatic therapy

Body-based work for what talking alone has not reached. Breath, sensation, and the wisdom your body already holds.

Individual therapy

Trauma, shame, self-doubt, and the patterns that keep circling back in new forms.

Couples counseling

Reconnecting when two busy lives have drifted into logistics, and learning to really hear each other again.

Parenting support

For the parent. The exhaustion, the guilt, and what your own childhood stirs up now that you are raising one.

Two therapists, one practice.

Which one you see depends on what you are bringing and what fits your budget.

Why we stay out-of-network

To pay for therapy, insurance needs a mental health diagnosis attached to your record, and then it decides how many sessions that diagnosis is worth. A lot of what people bring here does not fit neatly in that box: a relationship at a crossroads, grief, burnout, or simply wanting to go deeper than managing symptoms.

Being out-of-network keeps that choice with you. No diagnosis is required for billing, and nobody outside the room sets the pace. We provide superbills you can submit to a PPO for possible reimbursement, and HSA and FSA cards are accepted.

Rates run $85 to $185 depending on who you see. Working with Kyla is the lower end, with Alicia supervising her clinical work.

The first conversation is free.

No intake paperwork and no commitment. You share what is going on, we share how we work, and you decide what feels right.
