Therapists in Utah

Trauma is timeless. Even though it happened a long time ago, it can feel as though it is happening now. Trauma can negatively impact every part of your life. Even a simple trip to the grocery store can feel overwhelming. Work can feel impossible and few people understand. I feel a special connection to anyone with trauma because I have experienced trauma of my own. You are going to feel cared for and validated. As a symptom of deep trauma, we often try to numb our pain. Unfortunately numbing the pain also numbs happiness. Human beings are meant to experience a full range of emotion. As healing occurs you will begin to feel that you can embrace the hard times as well as fully enjoy the great times. You deserve to have a therapist who cares and understands you. Life can become peaceful, meaningful and happy. I graduated from BYU in 2009. I then went on to get a Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy from Argosy University. I grew up near Seattle and moved to Salt Lake City when I was 17 years old. I lived in Norway for 2 years. I play the guitar, I like to ride motorcycles and cook.

Welcome!! My name is Shannon LaTray, and I am a licensed clinical counseling professional in Montana, Utah, Maine, the District of Columbia, Oregon, New Jersey, and Massachusetts. I have experience working therapeutically with youth, teens, adults, and families regarding mental health and addiction issues. My approach to therapy is holistic and patient-centered, focusing on treating the whole person rather than just specific symptoms. I believe in addressing the physical, emotional, social, and spiritual aspects of a person's life to promote overall well-being. I also prioritize the individual needs and preferences of each patient, tailoring the therapy experience to their unique circumstances and goals. This dynamic approach allows for a more personalized and effective therapeutic experience. Additionally, I am a certified Gracious Space Trainer. My Approach... In my work, I commonly use a combination of several theoretical approaches, including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy, and humanistic therapy. I find that integrating elements from these different approaches allows me to address a wide range of client needs and preferences. CBT helps to identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors. Psychodynamic therapy explores unconscious processes and past experiences, and humanistic therapy emphasizes empathy, authenticity, and the client's subjective experience. By drawing from these different theoretical approaches, I strive to provide comprehensive and effective therapy tailored to each individual. My Focus... I typically work with a diverse range of clients, including individuals dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, life transitions, and self-esteem concerns. I have a strong background in helping clients navigate divorce and relationship challenges, career changes, and significant life adjustments individually and as couples. Overall, I am committed to supporting and guiding clients facing various challenges. My Communication Style... I strive to create a warm, empathetic, and nonjudgmental environment for my clients. I want my clients to feel safe, supported, and heard during our sessions. I aim to foster an atmosphere of trust and openness where clients feel comfortable expressing their thoughts and emotions. Working with me, clients often describe feeling understood, validated, and empowered to work through their challenges. I seek to provide a sense of calm and reassurance while also encouraging growth and self-discovery. In addition, I challenge clients to consider alternative perspectives and mindsets and to actively participate in finding solutions to their identified concerns. I believe in empowering clients to explore different ways of thinking and to take an active role in their own journey toward resolution and personal growth. By fostering a collaborative approach, I aim to help clients develop a deeper understanding of themselves and their situations while working towards positive outcomes. My journey to Mental Healthcare... My counseling journey has been incredibly rewarding and fulfilling. I have had the privilege of working with diverse clients, each with their own unique experiences and challenges. Reflecting on my 20-year journey in mental healthcare, including over 8.5 years as a licensed professional, I value the diverse experiences I have gained. From implementing a mental health intake program in a men’s state prison to promoting a patient-centered care model at the Montana State Hospital, I have learned the significance of effective systems and teamwork. At a residential treatment facility for substance abuse, I developed a program that encouraged shared experiences and empowerment among participants and a team centered approach to support staff. I have supported clients aged 2 to 82, focusing on building meaningful connections through individual sessions, couples counseling, and group therapy. I focus on building deep, meaningful connections that uplift and empower individuals as they navigate their paths toward healing and wellness. I am excited about the opportunities ahead to continue fostering growth and resilience in those I serve. My goals for you... When approaching goal setting with my clients, I believe in taking a collaborative and client-centered approach. I work with my clients to identify their individual needs, values, and aspirations. Together, we establish realistic, measurable, and meaningful goals that align with their personal growth and well-being. I encourage clients to participate actively in the goal-setting process, ensuring that their aspirations and desires are at the forefront. Additionally, I support clients in breaking down larger goals into manageable steps, providing them with the tools and guidance needed to track their progress and celebrate their achievements along the way. My first session with you... During the first session, clients can expect a welcoming and supportive atmosphere where they are encouraged to share their concerns, experiences, and goals. I aim to establish a strong rapport with clients, actively listen to their stories, and gain a thorough understanding of their unique perspectives and needs. Additionally, I provide an overview of the counseling process, discuss confidentiality and the client-counselor relationship, and answer any questions or concerns the client may have. Together, we begin the process of exploring their challenges, identifying goals, and laying the foundation for our work together. Overall, clients can expect a compassionate and collaborative approach as we embark on their journey towards growth and healing.

As a therapist, I specialize in serving adult, children, adolescents and families who are dealing with trauma, substance use disorders, mood disorders, anxiety, delinquency, ADHD and other related behavioral health issues. I offer individual therapy and draw from my extensive experience as a social worker in the public sector where I worked with Drug Court, Juvenile Courts and Juvenile Justice Services. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and received my Bachelor of Science in Psychology with a minor in Criminal Justice from Weber State University, and later a Master degree in Forensic Social Work from the University of Utah.

My main approach is "cognitive behavioral therapy." How we see things makes much of our suffering. We will take a close look at "self talk," because it's kind of "programmed" for misery. There is a profound way in which our "animal brain" governs behavior, but our everyday thinking tends to shame and blame ourselves for things not under conscious control. I will invite you to take a very close look at what seems to be happening now. We might explore how past trauma is acting on us right now and experiment with exercises to calm the triggered brain. My life experience is rich with problems many of us face. I make use of knowing depression, anxiety, family conflict, addiction as well as my clinical training, intuition, and sometimes wisdom from different spiritual traditions. I'm not religious, but I respect the divinity within us all. Today's life is so prone to isolation and loneliness. We get to judging ourselves for things actually beyond our control. I would rather that we learn how precious we actually are. It's often hard to disclose what we are suffering so even the idea of therapy is scary. We want someone else to "fix it" for us, but soon learn it's going to take some work. Don't give up or settle for a certain level of miserable. Nourish curiosity and personal growth. BetterHelp intends either 30 or 45 minute sessions. I prefer 45 min. Except for Mondays or if I am ill, I check the platform daily to catch your messages. Disclosure here: I am not a morning person, and I've had little success with students of Rocky Mountain University, but success with their employees. I have completely failed to really help women whose partner is into porn. If you decide to work with me, read and "sign" the disclosure form. Explore the platform to find the free classes and groups, find and try out the "video session test," and figure out how to schedule your first appointment. Thank you for considering me to be your therapist!

What that means for you is when you work with me, you have my full attention, care, and concern. You matter! You're important! You're looking for help and I can help you. I listen to understand and provided feedback. More importantly, I can help you understand more about you and in a lot of cases why you are the way you are.
