Counseling
No matter what phase of recovery or “pre-recovery” you or your loved one is in, we want to help you move toward health and freedom.
Whether you are new to recovery from addiction or any other behavioral health problem or have been working at it for a while, counseling will help you improve areas of your life that are troubling you. We work together to help you overcome obstacles that are keeping you from health, happiness, and freedom.
Dr Karen Zazzera is a Doctor of Behavioral Health, meaning her focus is on helping you identify and change behaviors that are causing problems in your life. Once you identify the core of the problem, and stop just treating symptoms, you will achieve mastery over choices in your life and these choices will create healthy change and outcomes. This process of cleaning out the origins of maladaptive thinking has proven successful for many years and for many thousands of people, and it can work for you too!
Dr Zazzera is also a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT) and therefore specializes in helping men and women with this addiction problem. Healing from sex and love addiction is a unique recovery process and should only be treated by a qualified professional. Karen offers individual, couples, and family counseling sessions to help you heal from this painful problem. She also provides sex and love addiction intervention services.

Cost:
As one way of ensuring your privacy, we do not contract with any insurance companies. All services are paid privately and discreetly. Counseling and Intervention are most successful when intense and focused in duration. We believe in setting you up to handle life on your own, by breaking free from dependency on anything or anyone. Fostering dependency on counseling and treatment is not helpful over the long haul. Therefore, we will work with you to provide you with the best treatment for as long as you need it to accomplish the goals of personal freedom and healthy independence.
Fees are:
Initial Assessments: $210 (80 minutes)
Individual, Couples, and Family Sessions: $140 (50 minutes)
Recovery Coaching is personalized one on one support for people new in recovery. Services include transportation from the intervention to a treatment program; assistance and support while integrating back into family, work and community after treatment; getting settled into your 12-step recovery program; providing abstinence monitoring; financial and budgeting assistance; and other practical early recovery support.
Coaching is provided by affiliates of Scottsdale Intervention and Counseling and is implemented as needed during your care. The cost of coaching is approximately $60 per hour with packages for daily and weekly services.
