Therapists in Salt Lake City, UT

The challenges we experience day-to-day vary based on our personal experience of distressing moods, traumatic events, difficulty in our relationships, grief and loss, addictions and challenges in the way we see ourselves and others. I believe that every individual has the potential to live a rich, fulfilling, and meaningful life no matter the challenges they face. I work with each client and couple to help them identify their own unique set of strengths, values, and goals that will empower them to achieve the change that they seek.

Welcome to High Desert Thrive! If there was one silver lining to the pandemic it was legitimizing virtual visits as a viable option to serve folks in need. I have served many individuals through my virtual practice who would never have been willing or able to access support. Making change is difficult--Therapy is a great option for those ready to move forward in their lives. I am passionate about serving my clients and assisting them in finding healing, and increasing their quality of life. I offer a safe, trusting environment to work through difficulties and improve life coping and satisfaction.

Are you stuck feeling like you want to change but can't? If you're struggling with patterns related to anxiety, disordered eating, or relational concerns my approach is to help you address them in the way that fits your life. If your goals include: changing behaviors that are hurting your functioning, navigating important life changes, or increasing well-being in relationships (with yourself or others), you are my ideal client.

I get it. Life happens. I’ve had those experiences myself. It can be hard to know what to do when your relationships are struggling or when you need help. It’s uniquely difficult when you’re worried about your teenager & looking for support. But here you are, taking this monumental step toward improvement. I tend to use a strengths-based approach in my work, helping my clients embrace their best self and enhance their life through the “Three C’s”: Connection, Creation & Contribution. Laying a foundation that allows for the development of the Three C’s leads to living a life of purpose, meaning & “pyong” - peace & confidence in life.

My approach to counseling involves a direct and socratic style, employing various cognitive-behavioral methods to challenge clients and equip them with enduring tools for success. I’m dedicated to helping clients understand that our well-being is intricately linked to our beliefs and choices as we strive to fulfill our fundamental needs for survival, love, importance, and variety. Collaboratively, I work with each client to determine the most effective means of supporting them in meeting these needs through the power of choice.

I am an experienced and empathetic Clinical Mental Health Counselor. My experience includes individual, couples and family counseling, as well as working with struggling adolescents and families in a variety of settings, including adventure therapy. I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology and a Master’s Degree in Mental Health Counseling. I love working with adults, teens (16+), and families. Courageous effort, self-discovery, and profound growth are what continually draw me to this work. I'm passionate about walking alongside courageous people in their path to healing, growth, and self-discovery.

Many times, we are put into confining boxes by people or systems who expect us to fit a certain mold in order to be accepted. Attempting to foster your authenticity while maintaining your relationships can be particularly challenging to navigate. I enjoy working with individuals who are facing identity, faith, career and other life transitions. While some clients choose to walk away from religious traditions, I respect my clients’ autonomy and support them no matter where their journeys take them.

I offer virtual therapy for people suffering with symptoms of trauma, major depression, severe anxiety, ADHD, autism, grief, intellectual disabilities, behavioral disorders, women’s issues, men’s issues, relationship, marital, parenting issues, divorce, as well as phase of life transitions. I have also worked with victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, and individuals and families dealing with substance abuse/addiction issues. I am very comfortable with people of all gender identities, including lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, questioning, queer, intersex, asexual, pansexual, and Allies (LGBTQIA+).

Healing from trauma is not easy. I don't believe sugarcoating how difficult this process may be, is beneficial to anyone. But you don't have to go through it alone. I have been working with survivors of trauma for the last 6 years. I've specialized in working with survivors of sexual assault, rape, domestic violence, intimate partner violence and abuse. I know picking the right therapist for this process may be difficult, so I encourage having a free phone consultation with me, to see if it feels like a good fit! I'm excited that you've begun this process of healing, and look forward to playing a role in your healing journey.

Therapy can help name experience, holding the moving pieces that keep bumping up against the edges of your consciousness, organizing them, fitting them back together in a way that makes sense and returning them to you with skills to manage them. Sometimes though, the articulate and self aware client will spend hours explaining things they already understand, while still feeling unseen and disconnected, like their inner world is still being missed, knowing there is hurt and dissonance but needing someone to help them connect to it. My holistic mind, heart and body approach can bring you to a place of both naming and experiencing.

Step into a space of healing and growth at my private practice. As a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW), I offer compassionate support tailored to your individual needs. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, or relationship issues, I provide a safe and nonjudgmental environment where you can explore your concerns and work towards positive change. At my practice, you'll find personalized therapy sessions aimed at addressing your specific challenges and goals. Through evidence-based techniques and empathetic guidance, I empower clients to develop coping skills, gain insight, and build resilience.

I specialize in helping individuals with depression, anxiety, ADHD, addiction with pornography, betrayal trauma, marriage and family conflict, trauma, suicidal thoughts, self-harm, substances, and/or processes addiction, and executive functioning. We will work together to deepen your connection with others, reduce negativity, increase self-awareness, and improve relationships. I will support you in exploring your life and uncovering patterns that might not be seen, as well as working with you as the expert of your life.

It can be vulnerable to reach out for support and it takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life. Whether you are experiencing anxiety or depression, family or relationship conflict, or exploring your identity and life goals, there is hope- therapy can help you move through your current challenges and get you feeling better. We will work together to reach your goals, release shame and guilt, face fears, and manage any risky behaviors.

I specialize in Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, especially when the themes of intrusive thoughts are of a taboo and/or sexual nature. Feel terrified by thoughts of hurting people, accidentally or on purpose? Sexual crimes? Sexual orientation? Incest? Sacrilege? I can help. I promise, I don't judge and I understand what your OCD has been putting you through.

Life’s struggles don’t just go away or clear up on their own. I help people move toward their peak functioning: in academics, employment, or relationships. I focus on helping my clients gain tools, transformed perspectives, and the support they need to gain resilience so they can rise up to meet life as it is instead of hoping it will change for them. In the process, they change their life. Let’s address the root issues so you can move forward. Whether you’re navigating the effects of trauma, a college student debilitated by anxiety, or simply struggling with figuring out who you want to be, let's get to work!

So often we find ourselves with negative thoughts and beliefs about ourselves, others, or the world around us that hold us back from understanding or seeing who we really are and what we can become. I seek to help individuals break down their negative or distorted thinking so they can see themselves and the world around them in a more healthy and positive way. I enjoy working with adults and young adults who struggle with a range of anxiety, depression, and negative views of self.

I am a compassionate and experienced therapist specializing in working with children, teenagers, adults, and couples. I believe that therapy is a collaborative journey, and I am dedicated to walking alongside my clients every step of the way. Using evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills, I provide effective and tailored interventions to address a wide range of mental health concerns.

At Green Willow we specialize in working with teens and adults who are struggling with childhood trauma and abuse, PTSD, relationships, women's specific concerns, depression, anxiety, stress, LGBTQ, and life adjustment concerns. We work with adolescents and adults who are struggling with mood disorders, family dynamics, coping skills, and emotional dysregulation. We provide a peaceful and supportive environment to explore past traumas, discuss current concerns, and plan for a more fulfilling future. We believe that each of us has the capacity for healing and growth, and that within us we contain the answers for a more joyful life.
