Tucson, Arizona Therapy
You Deserve a Therapist Who Gets It
You just want to be seen, heard, and believed for who you really are. Not the version of yourself you perform for the world. At Liberation Counseling and Consulting, our Tucson collective provides affirming, evidence-based counseling for individuals, teens, and couples at two offices in Tucson, plus telehealth across Arizona.
Whether you're processing trauma, exploring your identity, navigating a relationship, or simply looking for a therapist who won't make you explain your existence, our teammates are here.
Who We Are
Feminist, Anti-Racist, Anti-Oppression Counseling
Liberation Counseling and Consulting is a diverse collective of mental health professionals rooted in Tucson, Arizona. We believe in something simple: people heal when they are seen, heard, and believed.
Tucson is a city of remarkable diversity. It's home to the University of Arizona, a vibrant Latinx community, a significant 2SLGBTQIA+ population, and Indigenous communities with deep roots in the Sonoran Desert. Mental health care here needs to reflect that diversity. Too often, folx feel they have to educate their therapists about their identities or hide parts of themselves just to get through a session. We believe that approach is fundamentally flawed.
To us, diversity and inclusion aren't just buzz words. They're the foundation of the work we do. We do our own work, we embrace intersectionality, and we create space for your voice. Whether you're part of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community, a person of color, neurodivergent, or simply someone who wants a therapist who truly "gets it," our teammates are ready to meet you where you are.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you take my insurance?
The short answer is "maybe." Because we're a collective, some of our teammates can take insurance and others cannot. Please get in touch with us for more details about your specific plan. If we can't take your insurance, we can provide you with all the paperwork you need to submit to your insurance company for out-of-network reimbursement.
What are your rates?
Because we're a collective, each of our teammates sets their own rates. Visit the individual teammate pages for more details, or contact us directly and we'll help you find an option that works for your situation.
Do I have to come in person, or can I do therapy online?
Both! All of our teammates have in-person availability at our Tucson offices. We also offer online sessions for anyone who wants the convenience or flexibility of telehealth. Online therapy is available to anyone located in Arizona.
How does online therapy work?
It's really simple! Before your first session, your therapist will send you an email or text message with a link to a secure video site. At the time of your appointment, you just click the link to meet with your therapist. No tech wizardry required.
What should I expect in my first session?
Your first session is really a getting-to-know-you conversation. Your therapist will ask about what brought you in, your background, and what you're hoping to work on. There's no pressure to share more than you're comfortable with. By the end of the session, you and your therapist will talk about what a treatment approach might look like and whether it feels like a good fit.
How do I know which therapist is right for me?
The most important factor in successful therapy is the relationship you have with your therapist. We offer free consultations so you can get a feel for a teammate's style and approach before committing. If the first match doesn't feel right, we'll help you find a better fit within our collective. No hard feelings, ever.
Do you work with teens?
Yes! We work with teens and adolescents facing anxiety, depression, identity questions, school stress, family conflict, and other challenges. We can discuss parental involvement during the intake process based on your teen's age and needs. Our teammates are experienced in creating a safe space where young people can speak openly and be heard.
