Sisu Psychological Services

Meet Dr. Cynthia Stahura, a licensed clinical psychologist who has made the Phoenix metro area her home and healing ground. With a heart as warm as the Arizona sun, she is dedicated to helping adults navigate the rocky terrains of anxiety, depression, trauma, complex trauma, grief, and other life challenges that can sometimes feel as vast as the Grand Canyon itself. Dr. Stahura is not just certified in anxiety, trauma, complex-trauma, and grief; she's practically got a black belt in them. But don't let that intimidate you. She's not here to karate chop your problems away (although wouldn't that be nice?). Instead, she uses her extensive training in various therapy modalities to tailor a treatment plan as unique as your fingerprint. Her therapeutic style is primarily influenced by Interpersonal Neurobiology - a fancy term that basically means she understands how your brain and relationships can impact your mental health. But she doesn't stop there. She's also trained in CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy), EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), hypnotherapy, brainspotting, schema therapy, compassion-focused therapy, mindfulness therapy...and breathe! She's even currently training in IFS (Internal Family Systems) therapy. If there were an Olympics for therapy modalities, Dr. Stahura would undoubtedly be a gold medalist. But don't worry; she won't throw all these therapies at you like a surprise pop quiz. Dr. Stahura believes that therapy should be collaborative - after all, you're the expert on you! She'll meet you where you are in your healing process and include you in deciding how best to help you meet your goals and get the most out of therapy. Respect is at the core of Dr. Stahura's practice - respect for your values, strengths, and needs. She believes that lasting change comes from this foundation of respect. And while she's a firm believer in the power of therapy, she's not looking to keep you on her couch forever. Her goal is for you to successfully complete therapy armed with tools that can assist you with any issue you may face in the future. Dr. Stahura is dedicated to helping clients find the strength, courage, and motivation they need to be the best version of themselves. She believes that all people have the capacity to heal and is committed to creating a safe and healing atmosphere where this transformation can take place. So, if you're ready to embark on a journey of healing with a psychologist who's got more certifications than a Swiss Army knife has tools, then Dr. Cynthia Stahura is ready to guide you. After all, she's not just a psychologist; she's your partner in the pursuit of mental wellness.
