About Cottonwood Counseling

Tucson · established 2002

Our story

Cottonwood Counseling was founded in 2002 to give Tucson families a clinic that does not feel clinical. Bright rooms, unhurried appointments, and staff who learn your name on visit two.

We invest in continuing education, same-day sick slots, and clear billing conversations up front. No surprise invoices after the fact.

Parents, seniors, and first-time patients all get the same respect — questions welcome, jargon optional.
