Taking that step could be the beginning of changing everything

Begin Your Journey Toward Change

Welcome to a supportive space. My name is Sara Dunham, and through my practice, in-person in Scottsdale and online across Arizona and Washington, I help adults navigate life’s painful or unsatisfying patterns toward lasting relief. I offer weekly individual therapy with specialized care in trauma, ADHD support, queer identity, Internal Family Systems, and Ketamine-Assisted Therapy.

Services & Specialties

Heal, grow, and adapt.
I help adults explore life’s challenges, process past trauma, and step into self-compassion while building realistic tools, stronger boundaries, and functional patterns that fit real life.

Individual Adult Therapy

Process anxiety, life transitions, and burnout to establish healthy personal boundaries.

ADHD Support & Guidance

Understand adult neurodivergence, build executive skills, and access assessment referrals.

LGBTQ+ Affirming Therapy

Explore identity, relationships, and self-expression in a welcoming, supportive space.

Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy

Access deep-seated trauma and process emotional pain beyond traditional talk therapy.

Internal Family Systems

Harmonize inner parts, resolve internal conflict, and cultivate compassionate self-leadership.

In-Person Therapy (Scottsdale, AZ Office)

Meet with me in a quiet, comfortable office environment designed for grounding and focused healing. Located conveniently in North Scottsdale, in-person sessions provide a dedicated physical space to step away from daily routines, slow down, and fully focus on your personal therapeutic work.

Virtual Therapy (Arizona & Washington State)

Receive consistent, high-quality counseling from the comfort and privacy of your own home. Using a secure telehealth platform, I offer flexible online therapy sessions for adults residing anywhere in Washington State or Arizona, making consistent mental health care accessible around your schedule.

How We Work Together

Initial Consultation
We begin with a free consultation to discuss what brings you to therapy, cover logistics, and ensure we are a good fit.

Weekly 60-Minute Sessions
If we decide to move forward, we meet weekly for hour-long sessions dedicated to your personal growth and healing.

Integrative Support
We draw on Internal Family Systems, trauma-informed care, ADHD expertise, and, when appropriate, Ketamine-Assisted Therapy to help you build lasting change.

Insurance & Investment

Washington State Coverage
I am in-network with several major insurance plans in Washington, including Aetna, Cigna, Optum, and UnitedHealthcare. I can run your information to verify benefits and co-pays prior to our first meeting, and sliding scale options are available if needed.

Arizona Out-of-Network & Self-Pay
In Arizona, I see clients on a private pay basis at $165 per 60-minute session. While I am not paneled with insurance in Arizona, I can provide a monthly superbill for you to submit to your provider for potential out-of-network reimbursement.

Flexible Payment Methods
I accept major credit cards, debit cards, and Health Savings Accounts (HSA/FSA) to make investing in your care as straightforward as possible.

A Calming Place To Land

I shape my practice around the steady, grounding quality of nature, oceans, forests, and soft light. In that calm, I invite you to show up as you are, with your history, identities, and hopes, and I bring trauma-aware, depth-oriented care to support real, sustainable change.
