Counseling Practice – Latibule Counseling
Located at 281 West 24th Street, Suite 123, Yuma, Arizona 85364, Latibule Counseling is a trauma-informed mental health practice that identifies itself as the only practice in Yuma County with certified Somatic Experiencing practitioners. The practice operates Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., with Saturday appointments available by individual arrangement.
The clinical team includes five practitioners: Mily Gomez (LPC, NCC, CCTP, SEP), Estephanie Rodriguez (LPC), Melissa Moran (MA, LPC), Yolanda Renteria (LPC, NCC, SEP), and Ariana Montez Gonzalez (Licensed Associate Counselor). Multiple team members hold the SEP (Somatic Experiencing Practitioner) credential, reflecting the practice’s concentrated specialization in somatic modalities and distinguishing it within the Yuma County mental health landscape.
Therapeutic approaches offered at Latibule Counseling include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Somatic Experiencing, and Brainspotting. Somatic Experiencing is described on the site as addressing post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and other mental and physical trauma-related concerns. The practice describes itself as inclusive and affirming, welcoming clients across a broad range of backgrounds and identities.
Both in-person and telehealth services are available, with telehealth conducted via HIPAA-compliant software. The practice accepts most major insurance plans and Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs). A sliding fee scale is offered for uninsured clients, with fees discussed directly by phone prior to scheduling. This combination of insurance access and a sliding scale reflects the practice’s intent to serve a broad range of clients across income levels.
Latibule Counseling can be reached by phone at 928-247-6430 or 928-246-4454, and by email at office@latibulecounseling.com. No year of establishment is stated on the website. The practice’s emphasis on Somatic Experiencing, Brainspotting, and polyvagal-informed treatment alongside CBT, DBT, and EMDR positions it as a broad-spectrum trauma resource with particular depth in body-based approaches that are less commonly available in smaller regional markets such as Yuma.
