Child & Adolescent Psychological Services
Welcome! I am a Licensed Psychologist in Arizona. I am located in Scottsdale, Arizona but can provide psychological services for children and adolescents who live anywhere in Arizona.
Parents often contact me when they their child or teen is not coping with things as well as they used to. They are experiencing increased stress or anxiety that is hard to control. Some are having difficulty dealing with the pressures they face at home, with their peers, or in school.
Whether you are seeking therapy services for your child or a comprehensive evaluation, I am here to help. Get started today, by scheduling a free, 15-minute consultation by following the link below.
You and your child do not have to navigate these difficult times alone.

Immediate openings are available for comprehensive psychological evaluations that I conduct through Ridge Zeller Therapy.
For therapy purposes in my private practice, the initial intake session and first few sessions will be part of an evaluation of your child’s needs. This type of evaluation guides how I work with your child therapeutically.
At Ridge Zeller Therapy, I provide private psychological evaluations including testing for Autism, Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, Dyslexia and other learning difficulties. These evaluations include an intake session, testing, and a feedback session at the conclusion of the evaluation. These evaluations do not include ongoing work with you or your child, unless otherwise specified.
You can reach out to me with any questions you may have or follow the link below to learn more about scheduling this type of evaluation with me.
Certified Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) Provider
One service I am excited to provide to any new or existing client is the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP).
What is Safe and Sound and how might it help your child?
The Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) is an evidence-based listening therapy designed to reduce sound sensitivities and improve auditory processing, behavioral state regulation, and social engagement behaviors through filtered music.
As a practical application of Polyvagal Theory, the SSP acts as a non-invasive, acoustic vagal nerve stimulator, helping to retune the nervous system to better support connection, collaboration and resilience.
The SSP involves listening to specially filtered music through headphones to retune the nervous system to better support connection, collaboration, and resilience.
Program Highlights
A 5-hour auditory intervention developed and patented by Dr. Stephen Porges, author of the Polyvagal Theory.
Designed to reduce sound sensitivity and improve auditory processing and behavioral state regulation.
Activates the client’s social engagement system, helping to accelerate and enhance therapeutic outcomes.
Supports physiological state regulation, allowing for greater resilience.
The Safe and Sound Protocol can be integrated into any therapy sessions - or as a stand-alone service.

About Dr. Stoll
I have been working with children, adolescents, and families in many different capacities over the last 25 years as a teacher, counselor, and school psychologist.
I obtained my doctorate at the University of Arizona. My training included working in schools, community mental health settings, and in a juvenile detention center. I previously obtained a Master’s of Counseling degree at Arizona State University.
My passion is to help children and adolescents who are experiencing difficulties in school, with their friends, or in their families. I have experience working with children and adolescents who have:
Learning difficulties;
Trouble feeling happy;
Anxious thoughts;
and attention and/or behavioral challenges.
In my therapy practice, I use an integrated or holistic (mind-body) approach to therapy pulling from cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, and trauma-focused orientations.
I believe that learning is a life-long process. I have continued to build my expertise in working with youth by attaining additional certifications in working with youth who have Autism Spectrum Disorder and Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). I also completed the Trauma Research Foundation’s Certificate in Traumatic Stress Studies and recently became a Certified & Adolescent Anxiety Treatment Professional.
In my free time, I am a busy mom to two children and two furry friends. I enjoy spending time outdoors, visiting National Parks, and visiting with family and friends.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do You Accept Insurance?
No. I am not contracted with any insurance companies in Arizona at this time. However, I will provide a superbill at your request to submit to your insurance company. It is important to note that not all issues, conditions, or problems are reimbursed by insurance companies. You will be responsible for verifying your coverage.
For my therapy clients, I have also partnered with Mentaya, a service that streamlines getting reimbursed for your child’s therapy sessions through out-of-network benefits.
Mentaya is perfect if you:
• Have out-of-network benefits
• Feel overwhelmed by superbills and insurance
• Have submitted superbills but failed to get any reimbursement
• Simply want to skip the hassle of paperwork!
Here's how it works:
1. Sign up for Mentaya. A link will be sent at your request.
2. I will enter your sessions into the platform.
3. Mentaya submits the claim and handles any insurance follow-up.
4. You get reimbursed by insurance!
Mentaya charges a 5% fee per claim, which includes handling any paperwork required, dealing with denials, and calling insurance companies.
It's risk-free: They guarantee claims are successfully submitted, or a full refund of their fees.

No. I am not offering in person therapy at this time. My telepsychology therapy services are being scheduled on a part-time basis. If you are seeking in person services for your child, I will provide you with referrals as needed.
-
Yes! Recent studies have shown that telepsychology can be just as effective as in person therapy. There are benefits and risks to both telepsychology and in person therapy that should be considered prior to deciding which type is best for your child. I will be happy to discuss this with you during a consultation or initial intake session.
-
The Good Faith Estimate (GFE) is part of the No Surprises Act (2021). It shows the cost of services that are reasonably expected for the expected services to address your child’s mental health care needs. You will be provided with a Good Faith Estimate prior to the first service date.
The Good Faith Estimate does not include any unknown or unexpected costs that may arise during treatment. You could be charged more if complications or special circumstances occur. If this happens, federal law allows you to dispute (appeal) the bill.
