Tucson's verified specialty therapists.

Tandem Alliance lists 10 verified specialists practicing in Tucson. Each has passed our three-step vetting — active Arizona licensure, verified specialty training, and a clean state board record — before appearing here.

Tucson's roster has particular depth with children, teens, and families: TF-CBT and Team-CBT trained clinicians, trauma and EMDR specialists, grief counselors, and therapists experienced with veterans and military families. Several offer therapy in Spanish. Most see clients in person in Tucson and all offer telehealth statewide — the full Arizona directory covers the rest of the state.
