Welcome!

Accepting new clients for Telehealth!

I am a Therapist (LCSW) in Private Practice. I live in Phoenix, and work with clients Online by Video Session in Arizona, Indiana and New York.

I specialize in working with Gay Men and LGBTQ+ Adults. I also specialize in Anxiety, Worry, and Panic.

If you are looking for a therapist who understands the issues unique to our community, please feel free to reach out! Over the years I have had great rapport with my LGBTQ+ clients. 

My approach uses a combination of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).

I am in-network with Aetna (employer-sponsored plans only), Cigna, Oscar, Oxford and United (excluding AHCCCS, Medicaid and Medicare). Please be advised for Indiana Clients—I can only accept Aetna and Cigna in Indiana at this time.

Hello! I’m Paul Gardner (he/him), LCSW

Please feel free to reach out to schedule a complimentary 15-minute phone consultation. We'll spend a bit of time getting to know each other and seeing if we're a good fit.

This is a great time to ask any questions you have about starting therapy. We'll also go over some logistical details, such as scheduling and insurance.

I look forward to connecting with you!
