Nathanael (Nando) Schlecht, Licensed Associate Counselor

Most of the people I work with aren't in crisis. They're functioning.... sometimes quite well.... but something underneath isn't settling. There's a persistent tension, a flatness, a sense that understanding themselves hasn't translated into feeling differently. They've often done some version of therapy before. They know the vocabulary. What they're looking for is something that goes deeper than insight. My work is oriented toward the nervous system.... toward the patterns that formed under stress or relational wounding and haven't fully released, even when the person cognitively understands where they came from. I use approaches like Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR), Ego State Therapy, and Brainspotting because they work at the level where those patterns actually live. Not just meaning-making, but genuine internal shift. Sessions are paced deliberately. I'm not interested in pushing clients faster than their system can integrate. Safety, stabilization, and nervous system regulation come before anything else.... and often turn out to be where the most important work happens. I work with adults navigating complex trauma, dissociation, attachment wounds, developmental trauma, and work-related stress. I also offer faith-informed therapy for clients who want their spiritual life included in the work, not set aside.

I offer individual therapy in person in Tucson and via telehealth. Sessions are 50 minutes. I operate on a private-pay basis and can provide superbills for clients pursuing out-of-network reimbursement. I work selectively. My caseload is intentionally sized to allow sustained attention to each person I see. If you're looking for longer-term depth work rather than a short-term symptom-reduction model, this practice may be a good fit. Booking begins with a consultation.
