Dr. Kathleen Donaghy
Hypnotherapist, Psychologist
When you live heart first, the world opens up to you in a whole new way.
As an AZ licensed psychologist, I provide psychotherapy, hypnosis, and a variety of treatments for adults and children who present with many types of concerns. I have specialized training in health psychology and work with cancer, pain, disabilities, medical concerns, and wellness. I also treat more common concerns of depression, grief, anger, anxiety, and relationship problems. My approaches are based on extensive training, research, and publications. I offer individualized treatment approaches for each patient, and integrate their spiritual/philosophical tenets into the session as a means of strengthening existing resources.
