Therapy For Women in Scottsdale, AZ
Virtual Services Offered throughout Arizona and California
A thoughtful space to heal your relationship with your body, emotions, and relationships
You’re Capable — But You’re Tired
On the outside, you may look put-together and successful. Inside, it can feel like you’re constantly managing expectations — your own and everyone else’s. You try to do everything “right,” yet still feel empty or behind.
Food may feel like control when things feel overwhelming, or numbness when emotions feel like too much. Relationships may feel confusing — craving closeness while fearing rejection or abandonment. Finding your voice and showing up authentically can feel risky, even when you long for deeper connection.
Therapy isn’t about fixing you — it’s about helping you reconnect with who you are beneath the pressure.
You Might Be Here Because…
-
You may notice recurring struggles around food, body image, perfectionism, or self-criticism. Rather than asking “What’s wrong with me?” we approach these patterns with curiosity—seeking to understand how they developed and what they may be protecting.
-
Many women feel at odds with their bodies or uncertain about who they are beyond roles, expectations, or appearance. Therapy becomes a place to gently reconnect—building body awareness, emotional attunement, and self-trust.
-
You’re not just looking to manage symptoms. You want therapy that invites insight, meaning, and emotional honesty—where healing comes from understanding yourself more fully, not fixing yourself
You don’t need a diagnosis to deserve support.
Therapy here is about understanding you.
If you’re ready to approach your healing with curiosity, compassion, and depth, I’m so glad you’re here.
Meet Samantha Vellozzi, LMFT
Trauma - Informed Therapist in Scottsdale, AZ
Virtual Therapy Offered Throughout Arizona and California
Hi There! My name is Samantha! I specialize in therapy for women navigating self image concerns, identity development, and emotional safety. Our Goal is for you to create lasting change by addressing the root causes of your struggles — not just the symptoms. Using evidence-based approaches, we work collaboratively to understand your experiences, build practical skills, and foster meaningful growth.
Together, we slow things down. We make space to understand patterns that developed for a reason, even if they’re no longer serving you. Therapy here is thoughtful, compassionate, and grounded in approaches that support both insight and change.
Over time, many clients find they feel more at ease in their bodies, more confident using their voice, and more connected in their relationships — without having to strive so hard to be “enough”.
Therapy Services
Body Image & Eating Disorder Therapy
Living in a body that feels critical, unsafe, or disconnected can affect how you move through every part of life. In our work together, we’ll gently explore the emotional, relational, and cultural influences shaping your relationship with your body and food. My approach is compassionate and trauma-informed, with an emphasis on building self-trust, body acceptance, and long-term healing rather than quick fixes.
Trauma, Anxiety & Mood Therapy
When anxiety feels constant, past experiences resurface, or your mood feels difficult to manage, it can be hard to feel present or in control. Therapy offers a grounded, supportive space to make sense of these experiences, process what’s been held inside, and develop tools that help regulate emotions and reduce overwhelm. The goal is to help you feel more steady, resilient, and connected to yourself.
Family Therapy
Relationships often reflect our deepest needs, wounds, and learned patterns. When communication breaks down, boundaries feel unclear, or conflict becomes repetitive, therapy can help bring clarity to what’s happening beneath the surface. Together, we’ll explore relational dynamics, strengthen communication, and support healthier ways of connecting so your relationships can feel more secure and fulfilling.
