Together we can do the heart work.

My name is Mandy Schumacher, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Arizona. I grew up in a small town in Wyoming, but Arizona has been home for the past decade. I love living here, and starting my own practice has always been a dream of mine. Heart Work Therapy is that dream realized, and I am grateful to have the opportunity to do this work with you.

Here’s a little about my therapeutic approach, the clients I support, and how I strive to show up in the therapy room.

I believe in a therapeutic relationship that is honest, genuine, and uplifting. Creating a safe, supportive space for you to do the vulnerable work of healing is my top priority. I want you to feel seen, heard, respected, and accepted as you are.

My approach is trauma-focused, and I am trained in EMDR, ERP, and Dissociation with Parts. If what you’ve been carrying feels heavy, you need a safe space to process past experiences, or you’re looking for practical skills to help ease symptoms of anxiety or depression, I may be a good fit for you.

I am also trained in Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), an approach that can be especially helpful for those experiencing chronic stress, work-related burnout, or simply wanting to feel more grounded and develop a calmer, more regulated nervous system.

From our first conversation to the end of our work together, I am invested in your healing journey. Therapy isn’t always easy, and there may be moments that feel uncomfortable or challenging. But you don’t have to navigate those moments alone.

Together, we can do the Heart Work.

Please Note: I am an LGBTQ+ affirming and culturally sensitive clinician who believes therapy is for everyone. I strive to create a welcoming, respectful, and inclusive space where individuals from all backgrounds, identities, cultures, and lived experiences feel seen, heard, and supported.
