Iridescent Counseling Centers
About
I am a counselor and I have Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, so I understand some of the unique struggles of individuals with EDS and chronic illness. I can help you, whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, pain, trauma, or trying to create the best version of yourself. No matter your symptoms or difficulties we will work as a team to improve your well-being. I am positive, straightforward, and honest. I utilize humor, tangible tools that can be applied immediately, and strength-based interventions to help you achieve your individualized goals quickly and effectively making it possible for you to accomplish long-lasting change. Let’s make a change in your life today!
EDS Healthcare in Arizona
The Center for Complex Neurology, EDS & POTS in Phoenix, led by Dr. David Saperstein, follows over 2,500 EDS patients and is one of the most experienced EDS practices in the country. Mayo Clinic Scottsdale offers a connective tissue disorders program. The Arizona Genetics Alliance provides genetic counseling resources statewide.
While Phoenix and Scottsdale have strong EDS resources, Arizona's vast rural areas — particularly in the northern and eastern regions — face significant travel barriers to specialist care. AHCCCS (Arizona Medicaid) covers genetic testing including Rapid Whole Genome Sequencing, which is a notable benefit.
Finding Mental Health for EDS
Look for a therapist who has worked with chronic illness patients and understands that EDS-related anxiety and depression often have physical triggers, not just psychological ones.
