Therapists in Holladay, UT

I’m Jenna Johnston. My pronouns are she/her/hers. I’m a Clinical Mental Health Counselor. More specifically I am someone who sparks change in people’s lives. I help individuals (18+) who want to feel safe being their authentic selves and have satisfaction in their connection with others. I support them in exploring their history and uncovering patterns they may not even be aware of so that they can begin to have more control of their emotions and be excited about life again.

Do current events have you frazzled? Ever felt like you were in a relationship with someone who wasn't available? Or are you trying to rediscover yourself after divorce, having a child go off to college, or death of a loved one? I help people with all kinds of situations. Whether you are experiencing problems in a relationship, grief or bereavement, depression, anxiety, or a spiritual crisis, there is hope. I am trained in EMDR, CBT, ACT, DBT, Solution-Focused Therapy, psychodynamic theory, and routinely learn from experts in the field. Perhaps most important though, is that I listen.

When things change inside you, things change around you.

Do you ever wonder how you've gotten to the place you are? Have you tried to pinpoint a particular event or relationship that seemed to have "caused" your discontent? Perhaps you're looking for the person you "used to be." Oftentimes, the reasons for feeling the way we do are complex and take time to uncover. My approach is supportive and collaborative, working with you to explore the things that are keeping you from feeling the way you want to. I will walk with you on your own personal path, in hopes that you begin to feel more connected with yourself, the people you love, and to the world around you.

It’s time for a change but confiding in friends or family doesn't work. It just leaves you feeling more alone. It's hard to know who to trust. Nothing truly helps. The pressure of keeping things inside may feel overwhelming. You may not like yourself and feel unlovable. Decisions seem difficult and the future seems impossible. The small things that used to help don’t seem of use. Your mind feels like an enemy. When you do feel good, it is all too much tackle. It all makes you feel irritable and angry. You want these feelings to go away and want to connect. You want to find an answer. You want to know what to do. I can help.
