Therapists in Salt Lake City, UT

Many people come to my office saying: "Nothing ever changes in my life"; "I'm not good enough"; "I work so hard! Where is my success?"; "Why can't I get along with my partner?"; and, "I feel so alone." In each of these settings, I use a fun-loving, real and powerful approach - using evidence-based therapies and effective interpersonal skills - to validate, accept and support my clients in achieving their goals. I do this by teaching them skills to enjoy their life and relationships, and regulate intense physical, spiritual, mental, and/or emotional thoughts and behaviors.

My area of expertise is in stress- and trauma-related symptoms, namely posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression and suicidality. Stress and trauma can shift our entire worldview and our sense of safety and trust, our confidence and competency, and sometimes makes us feel we no longer 'fit' where we used to. This can effect every aspect of our lives. I will serve as a sounding board, to help identify your "why" and your "what," to access and troubleshoot any roadblocks along the journey, then provide strength-based, trauma-focused support to reach your specific goals and help you to build a life you truly want to live.

My focus has been on the way trauma, lived experiences, social systems, and substance use often show up and weave together in us. We all have trauma, regardless of how we take up our space in the world. I love to show people their inner strength and foster self-compassion through harm-reduction and specialized trauma treatment techniques. I strive to confront the often-overwhelming stigma and shame so many of us have surrounding mental health issues, sexuality, gender expression, race, ethnicity, and spirituality. If you feel scared or stuck, I am ready to help navigate your unique process and path.

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.

No matter how strong or resilient, there are times in each of our lives when we need some outside help. Whether it's getting out of bed, learning how to set boundaries, fostering self-compassion, changing toxic habits, finding inner calm, processing past or current trauma, or anything in-between, therapy can be a powerful and helpful resource. Your challenges, needs, and goals are likely a combination entirely unique to you, which is why you deserve an individualized and collaboratively created treatment approach as you navigate the often overwhelming process of improving mental health.

My approach is client-centered and culturally appropriate mental health services for individuals in a safe and therapeutic setting.

As a therapist, social worker, and a board-certified music therapist, I can include creative therapy modalities as a part of a client’s experience if so desired.

I know finding a good therapist can be challenging. Without a direct referral, you may feel you don't have a clear direction. Since 1987 I have helped others overcome challenges in order to live a happier, more fulfilling life. Here is one client's experience ... "I needed help, hope and healing ... Dr. Steven Chen's congenial manner and professional expertise created an atmosphere that assisted my healing and wholeness."

I know what it's like to struggle with the challenges of family, parenting, aging, grief, employment, marriage, life transitions, career loss, self fulfillment and purpose. Married for over 44 years, having owned a family business, I learned firsthand how to find purpose and peace in the midst of stress, depression, loss, anxiety and grief. I draw on personal experiences of raising children, marriage, owning a business, aging parents, loss of loved ones, major life transitions, depression, anxiety, addiction and stress. These life experiences give me a unique understanding and ability to help clients overcome similar challenges.

My purpose and passion is to help people who have experienced addiction and mental health issues (like myself). Let's transcend your painful experiences together so that you can achieve genuine and lasting fulfillment in life. My therapeutic approach is derived from several evidence-based and trauma-informed models of intervention. I believe in a highly-collaborative approach, and will individualize therapy to suit your specific needs and preferences. I utilize a strengths-based perspective to assist you in addressing whatever challenges you're facing. Come embark on a journey of discovery with me, to expand your own capabilities...

I believe everyone has what it takes to find joy, peace, and love in their lives through vulnerability and connection. After working through my own trials, I discovered that I wanted to help others and decided to become a therapist. I found a love for listening to others and trying to understand how their stories have shaped their view of themselves and the world. I enjoy connecting with people by encouraging them to explore new ways to find happiness within themselves and their relationships.
