Blue Bird Counseling

12/02/2025

Meet Brittany + Nicole - we’re the therapists behind Blue Bird Counseling!

We first met while working in a Scottsdale IOP, sitting with people doing the brave work of healing. Over time, we saw what was missing: clients didn’t just need symptom relief - they deserved deeper, longer-lasting, trauma-informed care that honored their pace and whole story.

So we built what we wished existed. Blue Bird opened in Spring 2022 and has grown across the Valley, but our heart stays the same: cozy, relational, body-based trauma therapy that goes beyond talk and helps people feel safe, connected, and whole again.

We’re so glad you’re here. 🩵

I hope my jokes make your feelings more comfortable than my feelings made you.

Identifying where you are behaviorally and emotionally when you're trauma triggered and having options to come out of it can give you a new sense of freedom. Save to reference. Healing is possible.
