The Phoenix Sessions™ Launches in Partnership with Arizona State University to Bring Cutting-Edge CBT Tools to Families at a 90% Discount
The Phoenix Sessions™, a groundbreaking digital health platform designed to help parents and children overcome fear and anxiety, is proud to announce its official launch in collaboration with researchers from Arizona State University.
Created by Armando Piña, PhD, Ryan Stoll, PhD, and Bret Al-Imari, PhD(c), The Phoenix Sessions is a 10-step Behavioral and Cognitive Therapy (CBT) program that empowers parents with the knowledge, tools, and guidance they need to help their children build resilience, confidence, and emotional well-being.
“Fear and anxiety can hold children back from thriving in school, friendships, and daily life,” said Dr. Armando Piña. “The Phoenix Sessions bridges the gap between cutting-edge research and real-world parenting, giving families a clear, structured path forward.”
Backed by Arizona State University’s dedication to innovation and public impact, this partnership makes it possible to offer the full program — which includes guided video lessons, parent scripts, and printable worksheets — at a 90% discount for parents, children, and community partners. The regular $400 program is now available for just $40 during the launch phase.
“Our mission is to make proven, research-backed tools accessible to every family, regardless of location or income,” said Dr. Ryan Stoll. “Through our partnership with ASU, we’re breaking down barriers to high-quality mental health resources for children.”
The Phoenix Sessions 10-Step Program includes:

“Parents often feel helpless watching their child struggle,” added Bret Al-Imari, PhD(c). “With The Phoenix Sessions, they gain a research-backed plan they can put into action right away.”
