Therapists in Riverdale, UT

Hi, I'm Dr. Meg, the owner of Golden Heart Therapy. I received my Ph.D. in Marriage and Family Therapy from Michigan State University. I have been a professor of Marriage and Family Therapy and have worked as a supervisor and therapist in private practice. At Golden Heart Therapy, we specialize in our work with couples and individuals with varying issues, including couple conflict, divorce, depression, anxiety and more. We believe each person holds the key to their own inherent growth and change. We want to help you uncover those strengths.

I enjoy working with individuals, couples and families. I have spent much of my career helping individuals work through issues such as anxiety, depression, emotion control- including anger management, and peer and family relationships. I have helped couples navigate difficult situations including addiction and codependency, infidelity, disconnection, and poor communication. I also enjoy helping parents navigate through the highs and lows of the parenting process.

Throughout our lives, we are taught how to be a good friend, a good family member, and to be kind and considerate to others. Unfortunately, people often are not taught how to be nice to oneself. As a therapist, I strive to assist clients in self-exploration and self-compassion and working towards self-acceptance. The real change starts with us as individuals. Once we start to take care of ourselves, and make those steps towards internal healing, there is a ripple effect towards improving our relationships with others. All parts of us are important, especially those parts of us we want to avoid and reject.

I love helping a person become their best version of themselves. Most people seeking counseling feel defeated. My strategies help them find hope and to develop new approaches to help them become powerful people with tangible skills to overcome the challenges in their lives so they can have joy and fulfillment. Ideally a client is ready to try new approaches to their life, to accept responsiblity for the consequences of their current behaviors, and is willing to risk failing, as each success is usually preceded by a few failed attempts.

Do you or your teen need help with coping? I am passionate about helping people change and get their lives moving in the right direction using healthy coping skills and a new perspective. I get excited about helping people make progress toward their goals. My clients describe me as being easy to talk to and non-judgmental. I am friendly and good at connecting with others- especially teens and young adults.

My goal as a counselor is to create a supportive environment in which my clients can explore their emotional needs and overcome barriers that limit their full potential. I offer a judgement-free zone within the walls of my office, and I help you find real-life solutions to problems that can seem overwhelming.

I want to help you heal from traumatic events you have experienced in your life. I am trained in EMDR treatment. I have helped many clients through EMDR to reduce the cause of stress brought on by trauma. I also have experience in working with those recovering from sexual abuse/ sexual assault.

As a therapist, my goal is to help families, couples, and individuals improve their personal relationships. This is achieved through gaining an understanding of others' emotions and why they react the way they do to various situations. Then, being willing to make the changes needed to be able to connect and trust their partner or family member. When the storms arrive, each will then know how to comfort themselves, and others; this happens synergistically. Synergism means that each person complements the other and enhances their performance; together, you are energized through the art of working in harmony. Come give it a try!

My primary goal is to create a therapeutic space where you feel genuinely seen and understood. In this space, your unique cultural background isn't just acknowledged but celebrated. Together, we will delve into the complexities of your identity and experiences, recognizing how they shape your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Through this exploration, I aim to help you cultivate a deeper sense of self-awareness and self-acceptance. Your story matters deeply. Every aspect of who you are is valid and deserving of respect. Together, we will navigate the challenges you're facing and work collaboratively towards your goals for growth.
