Counseling Practice – Best Life Counseling & Wellness
Best Life Counseling & Wellness is a private counseling practice serving clients in the Ahwatukee Foothills area of Phoenix, Arizona 85048, a neighborhood located in the southern portion of the city. The practice is operated by Ruthann Goozdich, MA, NCC, BC-TMH, LPC. Goozdich holds a Master’s Degree in Mental Health Counseling from Waynesburg University and is licensed as a Licensed Professional Counselor in Arizona. She is also a Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC) and Board Certified in TeleMental Health (BC-TMH), a credential that authorizes HIPAA-compliant telehealth delivery. Professional background noted on the site includes experience in partial hospitalization and outpatient mental health settings, as well as training in addiction counseling.
Services offered include individual therapy, couples counseling, couples intensives, family therapy, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), faith-based counseling, self-esteem therapy, and telehealth services. The Gottman Method is incorporated into the couples counseling work, and trauma-informed care is described as a foundational element of the overall clinical approach across service types.
The BC-TMH credential enables Goozdich to provide telehealth services to clients in both Arizona and Pennsylvania. Sessions are available in-person at the Phoenix location and via HIPAA-compliant online therapy for eligible clients. The practice serves individuals, couples, and families addressing a range of mental health and relational concerns.
Information about insurance acceptance and session rates is noted to be available on the website under a dedicated rates and insurance section, though specific plan names and fee amounts are not enumerated in the page content reviewed.
The availability of couples intensives alongside standard sessions reflects a practice that accommodates clients seeking more concentrated therapeutic work within a compressed timeframe, a format that may be particularly relevant for couples addressing significant relational concerns or attending from outside the local area. Faith-based counseling is offered as a distinct service for clients who prefer therapy informed by religious or spiritual values.
