Mental Health Therapy for YOUR Lifestyle

Personalized, Compassionate Care

At Gradients of Need, therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all. Every client’s story is unique, and care is tailored to your goals, your values, and your pace. Therapists listen without judgment and collaborate with you to support real, lasting change.

Trauma-Informed and Culturally Responsive

You deserve to feel safe, respected, and understood. That’s why all care is grounded in trauma-informed principles and cultural humility—affirming of diverse identities, lived experiences, and backgrounds.

Accessible Online Therapy Across Arizona

No matter where you live in Arizona, therapy is within reach. Virtual sessions mean no commuting, no waiting rooms—just secure, flexible care from wherever you feel most comfortable.

Affordable and Transparent Pricing

Mental health care shouldn’t be out of reach. Gradients of Need accepts insurance, offers self-pay and reduced-fee slots, and keeps billing simple. Payment is all done through a secure online portal.

Experienced, Trusted Clinicians

You’ll work directly with licensed, highly trained therapists who bring years of clinical expertise to your care. With backgrounds in social work, education, and community mental health, the team is equipped to support you with both skill and heart.

Compassionate Care, Rooted in Connection

At Gradients of Need, we believe healing begins with being seen and heard. Founded by Dr. Amber Abila, our practice offers thoughtful, inclusive therapy that meets you where you are. With deep respect for your unique experiences, we’re here to support your journey toward growth, resilience, and well-being—one conversation at a time.
