Traci Moreno, PsyD
Founder, Clinical Psychologist
Specializing in Traditional, Intuitive & Spiritual Psychology
Traditional psychology and psychotherapy—taken deeper.
What if therapy could address more than the symptoms you're experiencing?
I believe it can.
As the Founder of Free Spirit Coaching & Psychological Services, I created this practice around a simple belief: healing should address the whole person—mind, body, and spirit.
I’m a Clinical Psychologist who takes a whole-person approach to healing—one that recognizes that we are not simply a collection of thoughts, behaviors, and diagnoses.
We are complex human beings whose mind, body, emotions, relationships, experiences, intuition, and sense of meaning and purpose are deeply interconnected.
My foundation is traditional clinical psychology and psychotherapy.
I draw from established psychological approaches and advanced treatment methods, including trauma-focused therapies, cognitive and behavioral approaches, EMDR, hypnotherapy, mindfulness, and other integrative techniques.
But I don't believe traditional psychology has to be the end of the conversation.
It can be the foundation—and we can take it deeper.
My work integrates psychological science with intuitive and spiritual psychology,
exploring the deeper patterns, beliefs, experiences, and internal wisdom that can influence how we think, feel, behave, connect, and heal. For some people, that may mean understanding how trauma continues to affect the nervous system and body. For others, it may mean exploring identity, intuition, spirituality, purpose, grief, relationships, life transitions, or a profound sense that something in their life needs to change.
There is no single path to healing, because there is no single version of a human being.
I don't believe therapy should be about simply managing symptoms.
I want to understand why you're experiencing them in the first place.
Together, we look beneath the surface—at the patterns, experiences, beliefs, emotions, relationships, and sometimes the deeper questions that brought you here.
My goal isn't to simply help you feel better temporarily.
It's to help you understand yourself differently, change what is no longer serving you, reconnect with your own internal wisdom, and create lasting change.
That means our work may take place in an office, outside in nature, through experiential approaches, or through deeper exploration of the mind-body-spirit connection.
The setting and techniques may change, but the goal remains the same:
Helping you become more fully who you are.
You already possess strengths, insight, resilience, and wisdom that may have become buried beneath trauma, conditioning, fear, expectations, or simply the experiences of life.
My role isn't to tell you who you should be.
It's to help you uncover what is already there.
I work with adolescents and adults experiencing a wide range of concerns, including:
Trauma and PTSD; anxiety and stress; depression; grief and loss; relationship and family concerns; divorce and life transitions; self-esteem and self-worth; emotional regulation; boundaries and interpersonal patterns; personal growth and self-discovery;
spiritual and existential concerns; and meaning, purpose, and identity.
Beyond Conventional Therapy
My own journey has profoundly influenced the way I understand healing.
Over the years, my personal exploration of spirituality, consciousness, intuition, psychology, and personal transformation has expanded the way I see the therapeutic process.
That doesn't mean abandoning psychology.
It means recognizing that psychology is one part of a much larger human experience.
I believe we can honor psychological science while remaining open to the questions that science doesn't always answer:
Who am I beneath the roles I've been given?
Why do I keep repeating the same patterns?
What is my life trying to teach me?
What does my intuition know that my conscious mind hasn't recognized yet?
What happens when healing becomes more than simply getting rid of symptoms?
Those questions don't replace psychotherapy. It deepens it.
Helping You Reconnect With Your Intuition and Create a More Authentic, Meaningful Life
I believe integrity, kindness, and compassion are the foundations of a meaningful life.
I help people gain clarity, overcome personal blocks, reconnect with themselves, and
create greater balance, purpose, and life satisfaction.
I draw on my intuitive abilities—including clairvoyance, claircognizance, and clairsentience.
My approach is personalized and integrative,
combining spiritual insight with practical steps for personal growth.
My own journey has shaped the work I do today.
Growing up in Chicago as the son of Catholic Italian immigrants, I navigated cultural expectations, identity, and the discovery of my intuitive abilities.
After building a successful career as a corporate executive, I eventually followed
a deeper calling toward spirituality, self-discovery, and helping others live more authentically. Today, I combine my professional leadership experience
with my spiritual and intuitive practices to help clients explore
purpose, relationships, self-love, personal growth, and life direction.
My role isn't to tell you what your answers should be.
It's to help you uncover them.
I offer spiritual coaching, intuitive guidance, astrology, and energy-based services
within the practice's broader mind-body-spirit philosophy.
If you're ready to reconnect with yourself, strengthen your intuition,
gain clarity, or create a more meaningful life,
I'm here to help you discover what's possible.
Licensed Professional Counselor
Compassionate, Direct, and Strength-Based Therapy for Meaningful Change
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Master’s Degree in Counseling Psychology from the Illinois School of Professional Psychology, earned in 2000.
I believe effective therapy should be compassionate and supportive while also
being honest, practical, and willing to challenge you when change is needed.
I work with teens, adults, couples, and families and provide an affirming, inclusive space
for clients from diverse backgrounds, including the LGBTQ+ community.
I help clients navigate anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, grief and loss, stress,
life transitions, relationship and family concerns, self-esteem, and confidence.
My approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT),
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, strength-based and positive psychology, family and couples therapy, EMDR, and hypnotherapy.
I tailor treatment to each person's needs, goals, and beliefs.
I believe you don't have to choose between feeling supported and being challenged. Sometimes meaningful growth requires both.
My role is to help you recognize your strengths, work through what is holding you back, develop healthier patterns, and move toward the life you want to create.
As a Cave Creek resident and mother of three, I understand the many roles,
relationships, and transitions that shape our lives.
I'm also an animal lover and spiritually grounded.
I value the opportunity to walk alongside my clients
as they navigate their own unique journeys.
Dr. Ta-Taneisha Thames
Child & Adult Psychologist
Helping Children, Adults, and Families
Navigate Challenges, Strengthen Relationships, and Thrive
I am a Doctor of Psychology and graduate of San Diego State University, with more than 25 years of experience supporting children, adults, and families.
Before becoming a licensed clinical psychologist,
I spent 25 years as a School Psychologist in California, working closely with
students, parents, teachers, and schools as a team.
Today, I work with children age 5 and up, teens, adults, couples, and families addressing anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, grief and loss, relationship and family concerns, parenting challenges, self-esteem, life transitions, and
social, emotional, behavioral, and academic concerns.
My extensive school psychology background gives me particular expertise in
helping families understand and advocate for children experiencing
ADHD, autism spectrum disorders, learning differences,
intellectual disabilities, and behavioral or emotional challenges.
When appropriate, I can collaborate with teachers and other providers and help families navigate 504 Plans and Individualized Education Programs (IEPs).
Children and parents are more successful when they understand one another and work together. My goal is to create a supportive environment where each family member feels heard while developing practical strategies that
strengthen communication, relationships, and connection.
My therapeutic approach is individualized and may incorporate
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT),
Play Therapy, and EMDR, depending on the client's age, needs, and goals.
I provide telehealth services throughout California and Arizona and have extensive experience delivering effective, engaging therapy virtually.
I also offer evening and weekend appointments.
Whether you're seeking support for yourself, your child, your relationship, or your family, therapy can provide a place to understand what's happening,
develop new tools, and move forward together.
Sometimes the greatest change happens when we stop asking, “What's wrong?” and start asking, “What does this person need?”
Trish Colgero
Equine-Assisted Coach, Sound Healer & Yoga Teacher
Owner of Spirit Path Equine Healing
Growing up on a farm in Iowa, I developed a deep connection to
animals, nature, and the quiet wisdom that exists beyond words.
Horses always felt like more than companions to me —
they were grounding, intuitive, and deeply healing. That connection never left me, even as my professional path led me to the corporate world.
For many years, I built a career in recruiting and talent acquisition, helping people find opportunities and recognize their own potential.
But I eventually felt called toward something more heart-centered —
work that creates space for real healing, self-discovery, and emotional connection.
Like many people, I've moved through seasons of exhaustion, grief, and feeling disconnected from myself. In the hardest chapters, horses, nature, and stillness became my place of grounding. They taught me the importance of
slowing down and reconnecting with what truly matters.
That journey led me to create Spirit Path Equine Healing and a collaboration with
Free Spirit. Together we've created a peaceful space where horses, nature, mindfulness, and presence come together to
support emotional wellness and personal transformation.
I'm certified in Equine Assisted Coaching, Yoga, Reiki, and Sound Healing, and I believe deeply in holistic care that nurtures mind, body, and spirit together.
My approach is gentle, grounding, and intuitive — helping clients slow down, reconnect with themselves, and find moments of peace
in a world that often feels overwhelming.
Through guided equine experiences, mindfulness, breathwork, movement, and
sound healing, I create a safe space where people feel seen, supported, and able to simply exhale. Whether you're navigating stress, burnout, grief, anxiety, or a life transition — or simply seeking deeper connection with yourself — my hope is that you leave each session feeling more grounded, empowered, and aligned with who you are.
At the heart of this work is a simple belief:
"Sometimes healing isn't about returning to who we once were —
it's about finally connecting with who we truly are."
