Counseling Practice – Kind Minds Counseling
Kind Minds Counseling is a private therapy practice located at 7325 North 16th Street, Suite 100, Phoenix, Arizona 85020. The practice is owned and operated by Julie Skakoon, M.C., L.P.C., a Licensed Professional Counselor who holds a Master of Counseling degree and brings close to 20 years of experience in the assessment, evaluation, and treatment of children, adolescents, adults, and families.
Sessions are available both in-person at the Phoenix office and through telehealth, serving clients of all ages across the region. A complimentary 15-minute initial consultation is offered at no charge to prospective clients, providing an opportunity to discuss clinical needs and determine fit before committing to a full appointment.
Services include individual counseling, family counseling, co-parent counseling and coaching, and parent coaching and education. Corporate wellness programming is also offered. Therapeutic modalities applied across these services include Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), play-based interventions, parent-child interaction therapy, mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) groups.
Forensic and evaluative services extend the practice beyond standard counseling work. These offerings include court-ordered Limited Focused Assessments, Comprehensive Family Evaluations, and Forensically Informed Interviews. Expert review and testimony services are available as part of this forensic service line, positioning the practice to support legal proceedings involving family and child welfare matters.
Specialty populations and clinical focus areas include ADHD, anxiety, behavioral concerns, depression, divorce, relationship difficulties, parenting challenges, grief, and coping skills development. The practice specifically addresses blended and stepfamily dynamics, parent-child rejection and refusal presentations, and broader family systems concerns. Collaboration with divorcing families is a noted emphasis, reflected in the co-parenting and evaluative services offered.
Kind Minds Counseling operates on a self-pay basis. Specific insurance plans accepted are not listed on the website, and year of establishment is not stated on the site. The practice name and scope of services indicate an intentional orientation toward family-centered and child-involved clinical work, and the forensic dimension adds a distinct service tier not common at general counseling practices.
