Andrea (Andi) White, Founder

Andi White, M.Ed., MSC, LPC, CCTPII

Certified EMDR Therapist in Arizona | Certified Trauma Specialist | Adult Trauma & PTSD Specialist

I’m Andi White, a Licensed Professional Counselor in Arizona specializing exclusively in trauma therapy for adults. With over 15 years of clinical experience and more than 25 years in behavioral health, I provide advanced, evidence-based treatment for PTSD, complex trauma, attachment trauma, anxiety disorders, grief, betrayal trauma, addiction, chronic stress, and medical trauma.

I am the Founder of EMDR Counseling Collective and owner of Transcendence Counseling, where I offer private-pay EMDR therapy in Arizona for adults seeking deep, lasting trauma resolution.

EMDR Therapy for Trauma & PTSD

As a Certified EMDR Therapist and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, I specialize in treating:

  • Complex PTSD and developmental trauma

  • Attachment wounds and relational trauma

  • Narcissistic abuse and betrayal trauma

  • Shame and negative core beliefs

  • Complicated grief and traumatic loss

  • Phobias and performance anxiety

  • Addiction and compulsive behaviors

  • Chronic pain and illness-related trauma

EMDR therapy is my primary treatment approach. I integrate somatic therapy, parts work, CBT, and EFT tapping to support nervous system regulation and trauma processing. This approach is especially effective for adults who have tried talk therapy but continue to experience intrusive memories, emotional reactivity, hypervigilance, or persistent negative beliefs.

Advanced Trauma Treatment Modalities

In addition to standard EMDR therapy, I offer:

Ketamine-Assisted EMDR Therapy™ (KA-EMDR™) (in collaboration with an external prescriber) to support emotional access and trauma processing for select adult clients.

EMDR-VR (Virtual Reality–Enhanced EMDR) for targeted phobias, exposure-based trauma work, and performance-related anxiety.

These specialized EMDR services are designed for treatment-resistant trauma, complex PTSD, dissociation, chronic stress, and entrenched trauma responses.

Attachment & Developmental Trauma Expertise

My post-graduate certification in Infant and Early Childhood Mental Health informs my work with adults whose anxiety, relationship patterns, and self-worth struggles stem from early attachment trauma. I help clients address both the original trauma and the long-standing nervous system adaptations that developed in response.

Adult Trauma Therapy in Arizona

My approach is structured, collaborative, and trauma-informed. I focus on nervous system stabilization, trauma reprocessing, and long-term symptom reduction—not just coping skills.

I provide in-person trauma therapy in Chandler, Arizona and telehealth EMDR therapy throughout Arizona.

If you are searching for EMDR therapy for PTSD, complex trauma treatment, or adult trauma therapy in Arizona, I offer specialized care designed to create measurable, lasting change.
