Grief, Trauma & Couples Counseling in Tucson, Arizona
Therapy for Grief, Trauma & Major Life Changes
Deena Hitzke, EdD, LPC
Meet Deena -
Whatever brought you here, you don’t need to have the perfect words for it before reaching out. You may be grieving someone or something you’ve lost, trying to understand why something from your past still affects you, or noticing that anxiety, depression, or intrusive thoughts are taking up more space in your life than you want them to. Maybe you and your partner keep having the same argument, or you’ve gotten very good at holding everything together while privately feeling overwhelmed. For more than 30 years, I’ve worked with individuals, couples, and families through grief, trauma, relationship difficulties, and the many ways those experiences can affect everyday life. And after that much time working with people, and plenty of life experience of my own, I know things rarely fit into neat little categories. You are more than a diagnosis or a list of symptoms. Therapy is a place where we can get curious about what you’re experiencing, what may be underneath it, and what would actually help you now. My role isn’t to tell you who you are or what your life should look like. You bring the expertise on your own life. I bring professional experience, curiosity, honesty, and tools we can use to make sense of what’s happening and find a way forward that works for you. We’ll figure out the next steps together.
