AJ Spatz, LAC - Surprise, AZ Office
MEET AJ...
AJ Spatz currently works out of the Surprise office as a Licensed Associate Counselor working with a variety of clients and various mental health challenges. His graduate degree is from Phoenix Seminary. AJ has gained his early experience offering volunteer counseling services to the community through a local church Lay Counseling program at Scottsdale Bible Church. He is trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). AJ is a passionate learner and is always gaining knowledge through attending trainings or reading on the best ways to help his clients.
AJ describes his time at Phoenix Seminary as a time in which others have come alongside him to encourage personal growth and development of character. He views counseling others as a way to transition from receiving care and support to blessing and encouraging others in their personal development.
AJ was born and raised in Arizona, enjoys a variety of outdoor activities with his wife, and the two especially enjoy traveling, though their four dogs cannot always accompany them. Raised in a Christian home, AJ became a Christian at a young age and has participated in several areas of ministry with children, students, and adults. Biblical integration and a comprehensive bottom-up approach to target root issues are important to him in the counseling process. He is working under the direct supervision of Claudia (Chloe) Cooper, LISAC, LPC, who is an approved Clinical Supervisor through the Arizona Board of Behavioral Health Examiners. AJ works out of the Surprise Office and is available for Telehealth appointments as well. He can be reached by phone at 480-582-9542 and by email at Counseling@AJSpatz.com.
