About Tolana
Tolana Murphy is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LCPC) with ten years of experience. She practices in Arizona and brings a practical, steady approach to common struggles like anxiety, depression, addiction, and grief.
She has worked in intensive outpatient settings and inpatient detox programs. She has supported people facing severe mental illness and early psychotic episodes, and has provided community mental health services and medication assisted treatment. That range means she knows how to manage crises and longer-term recovery work.
Her counseling style mixes different methods to fit the person in front of her. She uses Mindfulness Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy depending on the issue and the person. Sessions tend to focus on concrete skills, clearer thinking, and noticing patterns that keep problems repeating.
She often helps people who are dealing with trauma, substance use, relationship strain, parenting challenges, sleep or eating problems, career stress, and life transitions. She also addresses concerns such as ADHD, postpartum depression, hoarding, aging and geriatric issues, and compassion fatigue.
Tolana encourages collaboration. She works with each person to set goals and pick strategies that feel realistic. Parents reading this will find straightforward language, practical steps, and an emphasis on steady progress rather than quick fixes.
