Support through life’s highs and lows
Virtual therapy services in Gilbert, Arizona
It’s time to prioritize you.
At Peaks & Valleys Behavioral Health, I understand how overwhelming life can feel when you’re doing your best to juggle all your responsibilities (family life, work, social life, self-care, and everything else!) and it never quite feels like you can get to it all. You might find yourself having difficulty focusing, struggling with self-doubt, setting boundaries, or feeling drained from the pressure to meet the expectations of yourself and others. It's exhausting to feel like you’re never enough, no matter how hard you try.
My goal is to help you find balance, reclaim your energy, and empower you to set healthy boundaries that honor your worth. You don’t have to navigate this alone—I’m here to help you through the peaks and valleys.
Kara Marino, LPC
OWNER & THERAPIST
Hi, I’m Kara! I am a licensed professional counselor in the state of Arizona with experience in a variety of therapeutic settings including community mental health, inpatient and outpatient behavioral health, and private practice. I founded Peaks & Valleys Behavioral Health aiming to create a safe, welcoming, and collaborative space for adults navigating challenges associated with ADHD, anxiety and trauma-related issues, and pregnancy and postpartum anxiety and depression.
Specialties
ADHD
Whether you've previously been diagnosed with ADHD in childhood, are newly diagnosed in adulthood, or suspect you might have ADHD or difficulties with regulating attention, I can help you navigate unique challenges related to focus, organization and time management, and emotional regulation.
Together, we will work to develop strategies that promote more balance, confidence, and greater fulfillment in both your personal and professional life.
Anxiety & Trauma
At Peaks & Valleys, I provide individual therapy services for adults dealing with anxiety and trauma, offering a safe space to process and heal from past experiences and ongoing dynamics that may negatively impact your wellbeing.
My approach focuses on helping you learn about your body's response to stress, develop coping skills to manage triggers, and regain a sense of safety, control, and peace in your life.
Pregnancy & Postpartum Needs
I offer dedicated support for women facing the emotional ups and downs of pregnancy, postpartum, and motherhood.
I strive to provide a compassionate, nonjudgmental space to navigate challenges related to perinatal anxiety and depression, birth trauma, or finding time to prioritize YOU during motherhood.
