About
Black Sheep Behavioral Counseling is a mental health practice that provides compassionate, culturally aware, and empowering support for individuals who have felt unseen, unheard, or out of place. They create a therapeutic environment where authenticity is honored, healing is collaborative, and every person is supported in breaking old patterns, reclaiming their voice, and building a life rooted in self-trust and emotional resilience. The practice, located in Tempe, AZ, serves individuals who have been labeled 'too sensitive,' 'too much,' 'too quiet,' or 'too intense.' They believe that healing isn't about fitting in, but about finally feeling seen and learning to trust one's own voice. The practice's clinical director, Dr. Patricia Chase, is passionate about working with teenagers and young adults, while Kristopher Tuttle, LMSW, specializes in supporting individuals affected by trauma, including first responders, veterans, and those with adverse childhood experiences.
