AZ Pinnacle Counseling was founded in 2017 with a clear and heartfelt mission: to provide compassionate, evidence-based therapy that supports individuals, couples, and teens through life’s challenges. From the beginning, our focus has been on creating a safe, inclusive space where people feel respected, understood, and empowered to heal. We believe that everyone deserves access to high-quality mental health care, and we work each day to make that belief a reality through responsive communication, flexible scheduling, and genuine connection.
Our practice is led by, Kristine Hendricks, a Certified Supervisor through the Arizona Board of Behavioral Health, ensuring that the care we provide meets the highest ethical and professional standards. Each member of our team is a Masters-level, licensed counselor with specialized training in therapeutic approaches proven to create lasting change. We are certified in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), a deeply effective model that helps individuals and couples build secure emotional bonds, as well as the Gottman Method, a highly regarded framework for strengthening relationships through improved communication, empathy, and conflict resolution.
What sets AZ Pinnacle Counseling apart is not only our credentials but our commitment to building trust. We understand that reaching out for therapy can feel intimidating or even overwhelming, especially when life already feels heavy. That’s why we work hard to make your first step—and every step after—feel safe, clear, and supported. Whether you are navigating anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship struggles, or simply feeling stuck, we are here to walk alongside you with care, clarity, and compassion.
We have proudly served the Scottsdale community with a steadfast dedication to mental wellness and personal growth. Our approach is grounded in both science and empathy, allowing us to meet each client where they are, and guide them toward where they want to be. We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all therapy. Instead, we take time to listen, understand, and tailor our care to fit your unique goals and needs.
At AZ Pinnacle Counseling, you’ll find more than a therapist—you’ll find a team that’s invested in your well-being. Because your story matters. Your healing matters. And we’re here to help you reclaim both.
