Jo Ann Collins-Walters is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), Licensed Independent Substance Abuse Counselor (LISAC), and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP) in the state of Arizona.

Jo Ann has a tremendous heart to work with people seeking to find healing and are looking for someone to help them in their journey. Having experienced many struggles of her own, she knows first-hand how difficult it is to share your inner thoughts and fears with another person. Jo Ann honors this by creating a safe and non-threatening environment that facilitates healing and growth.

Currently (and for the past 6+ years), I have been working with the Gila River Indian Community and feel honored to have the opportunity to get to know many of my clients on a personal level and assist them through whatever obstacles have been in their way.

Prior to working with Gila River, Jo Ann worked 4 ½ years as a crisis counselor in Maricopa County as well as working with seriously mentally ill clients within a Community Living Program in west Phoenix. She has a heart to help people learn to help themselves in a non-threatening, sensitive, and caring environment. Her faith is a part of who she is and strongly guides the work she does. JoAnn has always been open to including this in the counseling process for those who express a desire to have this as a part of their treatment. For those with other spiritual beliefs or no identified belief system, Jo Ann will incorporate what works for the individual, couple and/or family.
