Chronic Illness Therapists in Salt Lake City, UT

Beginning therapy and meeting a new therapist takes courage and can be a bit scary at times. I want to acknowledge that you're here and taking the first step toward change and growth. Hi! My name is Amber and I’m a psychotherapist committed to helping individuals of all backgrounds learn to cope with stress from chronic illness, the death of a loved one, parenting, pregnancy, or any challenge life presents.

How would it feel to be certain of who you are-let's find out how you can be the expert of your own life! I focus from several evidence-based & trauma-informed therapy models with adult individuals, relationship systems & groups. I am experienced in attachment, chronic health Issues, disability & medical trauma, life & belief transitions, gender & LGBTQ+ & alternative partnerships. I'm passionate about working with individuals whose lives have been deeply altered by a major event including a medical trauma, disability or career loss. I have limited space for high-specialization-match clients

I specialize in the treatment of whole people - you are more than just your mental health. I am most helpful for individuals looking to build more meaning, joy, passion, and vitality in their lives. People working with me often arrive feeling stuck - my job is to help you get moving toward the things that matter most to you in your life. All of the services I provide are done virtually and I'm passionate about making every interaction personal, compassionate, and effective!

I came to Woodhaven with a wealth of life experience in both the arts and human services. Working as a professional musician for many years connected me to some of the most vulnerable populations including the aging, chronically ill and those experiencing grief and sadness. I learned that creativity and healing are intimately linked and you invariably need one to pursue the other. My unique path has given me valuable insight into the human experience, which is something that we all share. I am particularly interested in the innate ability we all have to strive towards hope and healing.

What's not working with your health and life goals? Do you suffer from pain and can't get a clear answer why? Do you find the motivation to stay healthy an impossible task with your busy schedule? Do difficult relationships or trauma make it hard to manage stress? It's time to do the deeper work.

Feeling alone in your grief, stress, or sadness is an overwhelming place to be. For many of us, facing a major loss or life transition without support can lead to feeling stuck or even hopeless. These emotions are normal if you live with a chronic illness or are the caregiver for someone with a chronic illness. It is natural to desire balance and moments of relief in your daily life, but you may find those difficult to create given the relentless task of managing the chronic medical condition.

I am passionate about helping clients with trauma, anxiety, & depression, & most enjoy working with clients aged 13-35. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, & compassion, regardless of background. Working with those who are from more marginalized populations & concerns related to these areas (2S-LGBTQIA+ populations, women's issues, religious trauma, racism, physical health concerns/ disabilities, teen/adult children of immigrant families, etc.) is a passion of mine, but I am happy to work with those who are not part of these populations as well. I will tailor our treatment plan to meet your specific needs.

Seeking help in therapy takes strength and bravery, and I applaud clients for taking the first steps. It's easy to be hard on ourselves about how we feel or how we respond to our experiences. Sometimes we feel stuck, individually or in our relationships, and it can be hard to see a new path. I'm passionate about helping clients reach their potential to grow, change the patterns that no longer serve them, and move past the obstacles in their way. I work with clients to process and heal, create greater connections in their relationships, communicate more effectively, create healthy boundaries, and move through life more confidently.

I have a strong belief in the possibilities of healing, growth and change within an authentic collaborative client/therapist relationship. I have over 18 years of experience working with individuals and families recovering from trauma, living with chronic illness, working through relationship concerns and facing the challenges of mental illness. Taking the first steps to heal is often difficult, or even painful, however in doing so we can create a "path with heart" and meaning. I take a mindfulness based, goal oriented and active approach to therapy with focus on developing critical life skills.

*ACCEPTING CLIENTS FOR GROUP THERAPY OR WAITLIST ONLY* Through the therapeutic process, you can release the pain that you carry and build a life that you enjoy. I am passionate about helping you heal. As a therapist, my primary focus is on the overall wellness and goals of my client. I use a client-centered approach while providing trauma-informed and evidence-based methods to help you achieve what is really important to you. Areas of specialty include trauma, anxiety, life transitions, coming of age issues, depression, attachment, relationship issues, grief, chronic illness and coping with stress and loss.

Accepting new patients; no waiting list. Finding the right therapist can feel daunting, especially if therapy has been less than productive for you in the past. The therapeutic relationship is vital to your success, and I am committed to making the experience safe and productive while we explore your vulnerabilities and strengths and cultivate the therapeutic tools necessary to manage your unique challenges. I have a passion for helping others and a desire to see them succeed. For the past 15 years, I have practiced in various areas, including mental health, medical social work, long term care, hospice, and Child & Family Services

I am certified in the gold standard treatment for insomnia, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I). I additionally have extensive experience treating anxiety disorders, depression and navigating life stress such as relationship difficulties and career burnout.

I strive to create a warm, collaborative, and safe environment where you can explore your concerns, goals, and desires for creating the change you seek. I specialize in working with people who want relief from 1) life stress related to work or relationship difficulties 2) anxiety or overanalyzing 3) depression or lack of motivation 4) grief or trauma 5) self-criticism 6) aging or caregiving 7) chronic illness/health concerns.

I believe that you can have a great life no matter the issues and feelings you currently have. This possibility may be hard to imagine now, but that is what I help you do. My job is to help you clarify what you want and then to achieve this. We all have a "wise mind" and heart in us. The wise mind can become obscured by stress and circumstance, but this is what you come to therapy to discover. With encouragement and support, you can learn to trust your path and solve whatever your current problems are. I work with motivated people who want to improve their lives.
