How Tricia will help you get relief from Anxiety and Depression:
Anxiety:
Anxiety often shows up as more than just worry, it's the racing thoughts that won't quiet down at night, the tight chest before a meeting that doesn't seem to match the stakes, the constant low hum of "what if" running underneath everything else. It can look like overthinking every decision, trouble relaxing even when nothing is technically wrong, irritability, or a body that stays braced for something even when your mind knows it shouldn't. Tricia works with anxiety using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness-based approaches to help clients interrupt the spiral, understand what's actually driving it, and build a nervous system that doesn't stay on high alert. With 27 years of experience working with both teens and adults, she's seen how differently anxiety shows up in each person, and how much relief is possible once it's no longer running the show.
Depression:
Depression isn't always sadness you can point to… sometimes it's a flatness, a sense of moving through the day at half-volume, losing interest in things that used to matter, or being tired in a way that sleep doesn't fix. It can bring guilt, hopelessness, difficulty concentrating, or a quiet conviction that things won't get better. Tricia takes a depth-oriented approach to depression rather than a purely symptom-management one, combining CBT with Adlerian and insight-focused work to understand where the heaviness is coming from, not just how to function around it. Her relational, warm style matters here in particular: depression tends to isolate people, and having a space that feels genuinely safe and unhurried is often the first thing that starts to shift.
Why Tricia?
Tricia Siegel believes therapy should feel like a place where you no longer have to carry everything alone. For more than 27 years, she has worked with adults, teens, and older adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, painful relationships, family wounds, life transitions, and the quiet exhaustion that comes from holding too much for too long.
Her path into this work started in schools and an outpatient chemical dependency program before evolving into a thriving private practice experience that shaped a therapist who has sat with people across nearly every stage of life and every kind of crisis, not just one narrow specialty. That range shows up in how she works: rather than applying the same method to every client, Tricia draws from a mix of evidence-based and depth-oriented approaches — including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Adlerian and insight-oriented work, and trauma-focused care… and tailors the combination to what actually helps the person in front of her.
What sets her apart isn't just the credentials, though those matter too. It's a style that's warm, relational, and unhurried, built on the belief that real change happens in a space where you feel genuinely seen rather than diagnosed. She works with individuals and couples, sees clients in person in Scottsdale or by video anywhere in Arizona, and has built a practice people stay with… not because they have to, but because it works.

When everyday life starts to feel like too much…
Sometimes anxiety shows up as constant overthinking, a tight chest before a meeting that should not feel this stressful, or a mind that will not stop scanning for what might go wrong next.
Sometimes depression looks less like sadness and more like flatness: going through the motions of work, relationships, and daily responsibilities while feeling disconnected from all of it.
For many people, these experiences build gradually. A demanding job, a difficult relationship, a major life transition, or simply years of holding too much without enough support can leave even capable, high-functioning people feeling stretched thin.
What once felt manageable starts to feel exhausting.
Common signs include:
Persistent worry or racing thoughts that are difficult to turn off
Irritability, restlessness, or a low-level sense of dread
Fatigue that rest does not seem to resolve
Difficulty concentrating or making decisions that once felt easy
Withdrawing from people or activities that used to feel meaningful
A general sense of being "stuck," even when life looks fine from the outside
These patterns are extremely common. They are also treatable, and they do not require a crisis to justify getting support.
How Tricia helps
Depending on what a client needs, Tricia draws from a range of evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Internal Family Systems, to help clients:
Identify the thought patterns and triggers that fuel anxiety
Understand where depressive symptoms are coming from, rather than just managing them on the surface
Build practical tools for regulating difficult emotions in the moment
Address underlying patterns, often rooted in earlier experiences, that keep the same struggles resurfacing
Reconnect with a sense of clarity, motivation, and self-trust
Because sessions are conducted in person in Phoenix or entirely by video, clients throughout Phoenix, Scottsdale and across Arizona can access consistent, quality care without the added burden of commuting or rearranging a full schedule around an office visit.
Support is available whether someone is in the middle of a difficult season or has been managing these patterns quietly for years.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Do you accept insurance?
Yes. Tricia accepts most major insurance plans, including United Healthcare, Cigna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Optum, and Aetna. Insurance benefits are verified through Headway prior to your first session, so you'll know your coverage details in advance. Please note that Medicare is not currently accepted.What if I don't have insurance, or my plan isn't accepted?
Private pay sessions are available at a rate of $175 per session. This rate is confirmed directly with Tricia and is not processed through insurance.Do you offer a consultation before booking a full session?
Yes. A free, brief consultation call is available so you can ask questions, share what you're looking for, and get a feel for whether Tricia is the right fit before committing to ongoing sessions.Are sessions in person or online?
Tricia works both in person in Phoenix and online throughout all of Arizona.How do I know if what I'm feeling is "bad enough" to need therapy?
There's no minimum threshold of suffering required to start therapy. If anxiety or depression are affecting your sleep, relationships, work, or general sense of well-being, even in ways that feel manageable on the surface, that's reason enough to reach out. Many clients wait years before starting therapy, wondering if their struggles are significant enough. You don't have to wait for a crisis to get support.Will I need to be on medication to see results?
No. Therapy can be effective on its own, and many clients see meaningful progress through talk therapy alone. For some, a combination of therapy and medication works best, particularly for more severe or persistent symptoms. Tricia can help you think through what approach makes sense for your situation, and can refer you to a psychiatric provider if medication becomes part of the conversation.How long does therapy for anxiety or depression typically take?
This varies significantly from person to person. Some clients notice a shift in how they're coping within a few sessions, while others benefit from longer-term work, particularly if anxiety or depression is tied to deeper patterns or past experiences. Tricia will work with you to set goals and revisit them along the way, so therapy feels purposeful rather than open-ended.What can I expect in a first session?
The first session is focused on understanding your story, current challenges, and goals for therapy. There's no pressure to have everything figured out. Tricia will ask questions to understand your history and what's bringing you in now, and together you'll begin shaping a path forward.What issues do you specialize in?
Tricia works with adults and adolescents navigating anxiety, depression, postpartum challenges, trauma, relationship issues, and life transitions. With more than 27 years of experience, she draws on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Internal Family Systems, tailored to each client's needs.How do I get started?
You can call or email to schedule a free consultation, or book directly through Headway if you'd like to use insurance. From there, Tricia will help determine the best next steps based on your needs and availability.
