Hello! I specialize in working with anxiety disorders, PTSD, religious trauma, and recovery from relationship abuse. I have an office in Ahwatukee.

Hello and congratulations on starting therapy! I am trained in EMDR, and I also like to use IFS, DBT, and CBT methods in therapy. I have experience working with people from many different religions, sexualities, ethnicities, and parts of the world as I have 10 years experience working in social work. I offer a non-religious space for clients to talk about their own faith experience and process trauma related to religion if needed. I also have experience working with people questioning their gender or sexual identity. Colleen Steppa is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Arizona and Minnesota, offering telehealth and in-person therapy in Phoenix, AZ. She has 10 years of experience and works with young adults, adults, and seniors, addressing issues like anxiety, depression, trauma, and spiritual concerns. Colleen accepts Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, Optum, and United HealthCare, with payment options including in-network insurance, out-of-pocket, and sliding scale. She provides a supportive space for diverse groups, including immigrants, LGBTQ+ individuals, and people with disabilities, using modalities like EMDR, IFS, DBT, and CBT.
