Hi, I’m Brenda DeMayo, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist serving children, adolescents, adults, and families. Since 2015, I have been passionate about helping individuals navigate life’s challenges with greater confidence, resilience, and hope. My areas of focus include anxiety, ADHD, family and relationship concerns, life transitions, and child and adolescent mental health.

I believe therapy should be a collaborative and supportive experience where clients feel seen, heard, and empowered. My approach combines evidence-based practices with compassion and practical strategies to help clients better understand themselves, strengthen relationships, and create meaningful change. My goal is to provide a safe and encouraging space where healing and growth can occur.

“Hope grows when we learn to focus on what is possible rather than what is painful.”

I am passionate about creating a warm, collaborative therapeutic environment where clients feel genuinely seen, supported, and empowered. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I enjoy working with children, adolescents, adults, and families navigating anxiety, ADHD, relationship concerns, and life transitions. I also welcome conversations around spirituality and faith for clients who wish to incorporate those values into the therapeutic process.

When I’m not working, I enjoy spending time with my husband and our dog, Xena. I love staying active through strength training, running, and recreational sports. I also enjoy exploring Arizona, spending time with family and friends, reading, and finding opportunities for personal growth and wellness.

Brenda’s Accepted Insurances

“I believe every person has inherent strengths and the capacity for growth, even during life’s most difficult seasons. My role as a therapist is to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where clients can explore challenges, gain insight, and develop practical tools for lasting change.

I view therapy as a collaborative process that honors each client’s unique experiences, values, and goals. By combining evidence-based approaches with genuine connection and compassion, I help clients build resilience, strengthen relationships, and move toward a more fulfilling and balanced life.”
