Jennifer Phillips, M.A., LCSW
As a therapist at Tucson Counseling, I provide mental health services to diverse populations, including adults, seniors, LGBTQ+ individuals, Native Americans, and Veterans. I have over 8 years of experience as a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in Alabama, Arizona, Illinois, and Utah.
My mission is to help my clients cope with various challenges and improve their well-being, using the biopsychosocial model that examines the interconnection between biology, psychology, and socio-environmental factors. I employ evidence-based treatment modalities, such as dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT), motivational interviewing, and trauma-focused CBT. I am also working on certification for Mind Body Medicine through the Center for Mind Body Medicine and frequently use these techniques in therapy. I also have extensive training in geriatric assessment of cognitive and physical functioning, and I especially enjoy working with older adults. Additionally, I am a certified clinical supervisor with the Arizona Board of Behavioral Health Examiners, and I mentor and support other social workers in their professional development.
Issues that I treat in adults include: Anxiety disorders (Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Panic Disorder, Posttraumatic Stress Disorder) Mood Disorders (Bipolar I & II Disorders, Depression, Persistent Depressive Disorder), Insomnia, and Prolonged Grief Disorder.
I take the following insurances:
