I was looking for a new psychiatrist and came across Dr. Sapp's website. I liked the fact that he…read morewas upfront about his fees and I also liked his idea of how to treat patients so I decided to give him a try. Booking my initial visit went smoothly and a couple of weeks later I arrived for my appointment. I have seen a few psychiatrists over the years but I never could find one that I felt really listened, I always felt as if they just wanted to shove prescriptions at me and rush me out. Dr. Sapp is very different. He actually listened and we spoke at length about all of my concerns, going well over my hour without charging me anything extra. He took the time to make a human connection and I left his office feeling hopeful for the first time in years. I would highly recommend Dr. Sapp to anyone.

Last year I lost my parents, my job, I was long-term single, and also trying to cope with a substance addicted sibling. Claudette helped me process my trauma from these events and other past events. I wouldn't say my trauma is relieved just yet as we are still undergoing a treatment program, however I can now talk about my parents without crying, I am in a healthy relationship and I landed a incredible new career when I couldn't even get out of bed 5 months ago. Claudette also helps me with day -to-day life guidance on things I didn't realize were impacted by my trauma; I thought they were just harmful traits I was inherently stuck with. The EMDR therapy was very effective and I joke with Claudette saying it's "witchcraft" she does because I'm still stunned at how she helped me through pain I never thought could get easier. Thank you for everything!

I've been very fortunate to find Dr Robert Roden. He is a consummate professional, and very…read morecompassionate person. It's hard to put into words everything he's helped me with because each person's situation is so unique and personal. I can say that he gently gets to the heart of the problem, and provides just the right amount of guidance and encouragement. I will never be able to thank him enough for all he's done. My life is far better because of his help. He brought me through daily work to heal wounds that were severe, and was there by my side (figuratively) through more than one major crisis. He's better than wonderful at his job. He's someone you can trust.

Long time questioner/lurker, first time writing about this…read more Sam was so kind enough to drop off the CDs in person at my place of work due to time constraints which was a VERY nice treat given his dedication (after knowing about his center for as long as I lived in the Phoenix area). I needed to supplement my healing journey and clear away mostly (ideally all) of the old untouched mental, emotional and psychological crap out of my head, too old to miss out on enjoying life while that's stuck in there, I took a risk. Also I'm close to the end of the 90 day period of hearing the CDs for the first time, though very skeptical, though it's normal to feel that way given the way of the world and one's personal experiences, because I was. The things he said made sense. Aside from the religious content and the message of 'suffering to gain strength' not being my thing, strong emotions really kicked up every time I cycled through the CDs. I had discovered a few nice things and some disconcerting things about myself in about a month; kept listening and my dark mood lifted. I felt more cheerier, but still in reality not taking crap from nonsense, though. A few modest and fun opportunities did present itself so I'm now able to earn extra cash. Depending on duration and intensity one has experienced from personal difficulties, trauma, abuses, hardships and the like that occur over decades, healing takes time; it is unrealistic to think it's instant or not being honest with oneself on what occurred in one's life. If one takes the time to research and understand how the mind /brain works and how it needs time to heal from stressors and buried memories and other psychological damage, one will have a better outcome, I have my own research to thank months prior to signing up for this program. To allow an overly critical ego, unrealistic expectations for an overnight process of healing in this medium thwarts encouragement and possibly progress. Everyone's stresses, stressors and levels of damage to the mind and body are different, give it a chance to work through the crap, don't put a timestamp on that. If anyone reading still have those CDs, take 'em out and hear it again with a fresh set of ears, thank the overly critical ego for its input and have it sit in the corner and be quiet. I recommend the Blackboard Effect and the Movie Screen, quite helpful.

After years of searching for the right DBT therapist for my daughter, we finally found DBT Arizona…read more Right away I knew something was different when I spoke to Elizabeth about finding someone to help my daughter. They were actually available and could help! That may sound still to anyone who hasn't had years of difficulty trying to get your child someone in a specialized field of therapy with little to no success. It's VERY HARD and we have struggled. So after leaving a voicemail (only one) when I first called and Elizabeth actually called me back in just a few minutes surprised me greatly. Then to speak to someone who knew what you and your family have been through for years without judgement or shock, I was grateful. But when Elizabeth set up an appointment for my daughter with a doctor experienced with her issues, I almost wept. We were able to get my daughter seen with Dr. Aronda just a few weeks. I knew she was special. I knew this one could really help my daughter. And my daughter knew it too. Dr. Aronda has been a godsend for our family! She just knows what to do and say. She has a very soft, reassuring way about her that my daughter has responded to very positively. She comes out so happy and bouncy after every appointment she has with her. But even after all of this, what shocked me the most was SEEING MY DAUGHTER PUT TO USE THE METHODS SHE AND DR. ARONDA HAVE BEEN WORKING ON during their session times. I almost fell over! My daughter has never done that before! This is actually working! My daughter is so much lighter and happier. She feels heard. She feels validated. She feels understood. She knows everyone she has spoken to at DBT Arizona cares about her. The only thing she has ever complained about was group therapy, but to know my daughter is know expect that kind of thing. I will shout praises from the mountain tops, and I have, about DBT Arizona. The ONLY thing that is difficult for us is the cost. They don't do insurance and they are considered out-of-network. Luckily, my insurance covers reimbursement for cases like this; not fully covered, but enough to help greatly. I look at the cost as an investment in my daughter because it is. And it's working. IT'S ACTUALLY WORKING. So if you're reading this and you have struggled like I have to find someone who can actually help your child, this is the place. They know what you're going through. They know how to help you. They know how to help your child. And it works.

Our child is now more stable, emotionally balanced, and less anxious, among many other symptoms associated with mental health challenges. We invested time and resources into DBT and over time, our child's health improved. We committed to group sessions, one on one sessions, and family sessions. For the better health of our child, we believed this was a marathon rather than a sprint. DBT provided the coaching, advice, skills and diagnosis needed to understand what is happening, what we can expect, best ways to make effective changes, and achieve positive results. This was and is a difficult journey, and with DBT our child and family is in a much better place. Should you or a loved one be struggling with mental health challenges, I strongly recommend DBT of Arizona. They have the resources, care, mindset and professionalism to help make improvements.

Both Ruth and Dr. Paul Okoronkwo, PMHNP, exemplify professionalism, authenticity, and responsiveness in every interaction.

Since beginning treatment, my anxiety, ADHD symptoms, and sleep have all improved significantly. The level of support and follow‑through from this team is truly outstanding. Freedom Psychiatry operates with the kind of integrity and patient‑centered focus that is rare to find. Highly recommended.
