Bear one another’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ. Galatians 6:2
Marriage and parenting can be deeply fulfilling, but they also come with unique challenges. I understand the loneliness of feeling emotionally disconnected from a spouse and the guilt and frustration that can arise from feeling like a parenting failure. These experiences have shaped my perspective and deepened my empathy for those navigating similar struggles.
I’ve been married to my husband for several decades, and together we’ve faced significant life transitions. One of our greatest challenges has been navigating life with a chronic illness. My own faith was profoundly tested in my 20s when I received a potentially life-altering medical diagnosis. Over time, I’ve come to use a wheelchair, a journey that has allowed me to connect on a meaningful level with others facing medical diagnoses and chronic conditions.
In my counseling, I focus on your strengths while helping you apply biblical truths to your circumstances. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, understood, and supported, empowering you to transform feelings of loneliness and dissatisfaction into hope, peace, and contentment.
I utilize a combination of modalities, including Relational Life Therapy, experiential therapy, and the Gottman Method for Couples Therapy. My experience spans working with couples, families, and individuals addressing challenges such as relational conflict, difficulty communicating, anxiety, depression, substance use, stress and relationship issues related to one partner experiencing a medical crisis or condition, and grief and loss. I am guided in my work by the words in Galatians 6:2: “Bear one another’s burdens, and in this way, you will fulfill the law of Christ.”
I hold a Doctor of Marriage and Family Therapy degree from Fuller Theological Seminary, where I completed my dissertation on the prevention and treatment of pastoral burnout in June 2023. I also earned a Master of Science in Marital and Family Therapy with an emphasis in Medical Family Therapy from Fuller, following a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology with a minor in Family and Human Development from Arizona State University.
Before stepping into the counseling profession, I spent a number of years as a homeschooling mom and had a career in accounting for nonprofits. These experiences, coupled with my faith, have solidified my calling to ministry and counseling. I am honored to walk alongside individuals, couples, and families on their journey toward healing, growth, and restored connection.
If you still have questions or need more info, I would love to connect with you for a free 15-minute introductory phone consultation.

Alexis Linville, Licensed Associate Marriage & Family Therapist
Services available Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays in the Chandler office.
The closest and most meaningful relationships in our lives often bring both profound joy and deep distress. They can test our trust but also offer opportunities for connection and healing. As an associate therapist, my goal is to help clients navigate these complex and sometimes painful experiences in a way that fosters growth and renewal. By exploring the patterns and cycles in our relationships—not only with others but also with ourselves—we can gain the insight and clarity needed to move forward and heal.
With over a decade of experience supporting others, I’ve had the privilege of working as an educator for children with special needs and as a social worker in an outpatient clinic. These roles have taught me a fundamental truth: we are all doing our best to navigate life using the roadmaps we’ve developed along the way. Yet, life’s inherent chaos can often overwhelm us, leaving us as our own harshest critics. In these moments, it’s crucial to remember that we deserve to heal. We deserve spaces where we feel seen, heard, and deeply connected—safe spaces where we can care for the parts of ourselves that feel scared or hidden.
Healing begins with the understanding that our past does not have to define our future. We are not bound to repeat the painful patterns we’ve learned in our families or relationships. Instead, we can embrace hope and find new ways to grow and thrive. It would be an honor to work with you as you set and achieve meaningful goals for yourself and your relationships. Together, we can build a path toward healing and transformation.
“We are wounded in relationships, and we heal in relationships.” – Harville Hendrix

Angela Haynes, Licensed Associate Counselor
Services available Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays in the Chandler office.
I understand firsthand the challenges that relationships can bring. The most meaningful relationships in my life have taught me to be open, forgiving, and willing to grow. They’ve shown me that building strong, authentic connections takes time and requires nurturing—not just of the relationship itself but also of yourself and the person you’re connected to.
For over 25 years, I have served in supportive roles that reflect my passion for helping others. As a teacher in Christian ministry and a professional with a focus on administration, I’ve had the privilege of making an impact through teaching, training, and development. Discovering and sharing knowledge is a source of great joy for me, and it has fueled my calling to promote wholeness in people’s lives by addressing their psychological and emotional needs.
My own journey with trauma and its lasting effects on relationships has shaped my perspective and deepened my empathy. Through this process, I discovered that I already had the strengths and resources needed to overcome life’s challenges. This realization informs my clinical approach, which is client-centered and designed to create an atmosphere of openness and trust. In this space, clients can experience self-discovery, growth, and healing.
I hold a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Grand Canyon University and a Bachelor of Psychology from Capella University. My goal is to extend to my clients the same grace that has guided me through my own healing journey. It is an honor and a privilege to serve you, and I am committed to walking alongside you as you navigate your path toward wholeness and growth.
