Welcome to the Personal Journeys web site… my name is Dalena Watson.

I am a licensed professional Counselor and board certified Music Therapist in Arizona with 25 years experience helping people such as yourself, heal from emotional and physical trauma.

Many of my clients have ridden the “therapy counseling medical” merry-go-round trying to find answers to their challenges and techniques they can use to HEAL themselves. Talk therapy can take you part of the way on your journey, but to really heal the whole person, cutting edge, mind/body integrative therapies are needed. It does not matter if you have been coping with something for a long time, or have a new event in your life. I can help.

WHAT I DO
Over the space of my career as a therapist, speaker, education and workshop curriculum developer and university professor, I specialize in providing custom group workshops, individual therapy sessions, assessments and in-services for hospitals and businesses in the areas of:

– Trauma and Abuse
– Stress Management
– Grief and Loss
– Special Population Needs
– Personal Growth

LIGHTING YOUR JOURNEY – TESTIMONIALS
Each person’s journey is unique. Sometimes it is confusing or frustrating. Sometimes a person needs support along the way. Many feel alone as they search for answers. You don’t need to do this alone. Listen to what my clients say about their experience with me:

“Talking to Dalena Watson is the best thing I have done for myself and family. She does not pass judgement or make you feel broken. She sympathizes and empathizes with me while giving me the tools to overcome the challenges I am currently facing. She is educating me. Wish more people would find someone to talk to like Mrs. Watson, the world would be a little better.”

“Dalena’s knowledge of biofeedback and music as therapy are beyond helpful. She has helped me soul search to a point I’ve hid even from myself and has opened up my heart and my mind to finally allow for healing. Her methods are many and she will find what is effective for YOU. Her people skills are astounding to say the least and if you are truly looking for a therapist who gets the job done, you found her in Dalena Watson.”

“I have been using the tools from the first group all week, and I can already feel the pain in my knees is better. I’m not sure how it all works. But I’m going to keep at it because it’s working!”

CHRONIC CHALLENGES 
In addition to various mental health issues, I have worked with Veterans, people with chronic illness/pain, people with congenital disabilities, and people with injuries and disabilities acquired later in life. The mind and body are an interconnected system, and when both are addressed, healing can happen, and you can unlock your potential to live a joyful, satisfying life.
