Therapists in Utah

Hello! Welcome! I have been a counselor, social worker, life coach , and energy healing practitioner for more that 20 years. I am currently licensed in the states of Alaska and Utah. I work from a positive psychology perspective because I have found that building upon strengths is just as important as solving problems. I incorporate mindfulness and qigong to help people manage stress and become happier and healthier. I enjoy working with both U.S. and international clients. I honor differences in culture, gender, religion, race, lifestyles and beliefs. I welcome clients who want to recover from pain they experienced because of their race, gender, beliefs, or neuro-divergent way of thinking. I am presently living in the desert southwest. I enjoy traveling, writing, and creating things with pen and paper, yarn, beads, and clay. I have personal practice of mindfulness meditation and qigong. I am a deeply spiritual person. I look forward to meeting you and helping you become happier and healthier! Beverly

I am a marriage and family therapist with 9 years of experience counseling a wide range of clients. I have worked with clients on grief and loss, depression and anxiety as well as substance abuse concerns. I take a warm approach with clients and use a client centered approach to therapy. I have been trained in cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavioral therapy and approach the sessions in a collaborative manner always working together with people I am working with. I respect that you took this step to seek out a listening ear and I look forward to working together with you on this journey. I was born in New York and as a young child my family moved out to Los Angeles and I have been here ever since. Growing up I was always fascinated by the field of psychology and when I was going for my Bachelors Degree I therefore choose to major in psychology. I attended Touro College Los Angeles for my Bachelors degree and then pursued my Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy through Touro University Worldwide. When working with clients I take a warm and empathetic approach and really try to hear what the client is saying. Therapy can be very rewarding but it is often challenging to talk about the difficulties that we face. In session I strive to create a supportive and safe space where we can work together mindfully and without judgement to increase wellness. Thank you for taking the time to look over my profile. I look forward to working together!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker that has worked over the course of 23 years in both inpatient Crisis and outpatient counseling settings with individuals, couples and families, ages 4 y.o. to 85 y.o. in Florida, Utah, Maine, Arizona, and several other countries. I am very versatile in my approach, tending to begin where you, the client are first, then tailoring my interventions from that point on. My specialty is in working with PTSD, i.e. abuse , and primary and secondary traumas. Relatedly, I am a Certified TIST [Trauma-informed Stabilization & Treatment] therapist, and have advanced training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, including the Flash Technique. I have also frequently worked with the Chronically Mentally Ill person, including those with Schizophrenia, Bipolar, Dissociative issues, and Depression, as well as those in various Life Transitional stages, Ex Pats, HSPs, and Developmental delays. I have also counseled a few individuals with up to middle stage Dementia (since newer Rx leaves them with tremendous adjustment issues) and their caregivers and parents struggling with parenting issues. My highest comfort level is with ages 18 and over in Individual sessions. My counseling style is ecclectic, with a warmth of engagement and focus on acceptance, positive regard, and trust-building, but can be highly solution-focused and brief as needed in the course of your therapy. I use a Motivational Interviewing technique to identify both what it is the client truly desires, as well as what they do not want, or are not motivated to achieve, and why. I then will shift to a more Strengths-based and Skill-building approach and the use of Cognitive-Behavioral and Humanistic interventions with a Family Systems and Developmental perspective on relational issues. I have done my own personal counseling work, and recognize it to be a powerful, yet courageous endeavor in a person's life. Good therapy can transform you and it is a gift to be able to engage in it. Every person is precious, and deserving of respect, kindness, and a place to be fully heard, accepted, and a place to develop their best selves in a healing, compassionate environment. I consider my work as a therapist to be a sacred trust, a privilege, a calling, and part of my own journey as a fellow human being. Working with you will be an honor to help you on your very unique path toward a healthier you, and in the style you determine to be the most helpful and supportive.

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.

You deserve to feel seen, heard, and supported — no matter where you come from or what you’re going through. Hi — I’m a bilingual therapist (English & Spanish) and a proud Latina woman of color, licensed in Massachusetts, Utah, and Florida. With over a decade of experience, I’ve had the privilege of helping people from all walks of life move through life’s challenges — whether that’s anxiety, trauma, relationship struggles, identity questions, or simply feeling stuck and unsure of what’s next. I take a holistic approach to therapy, looking at your full self — mind, body, culture, and spirit. That means we don’t just focus on “fixing” symptoms — we explore the deeper patterns, experiences, and beliefs that shape how you show up in the world. In addition to traditional therapy, I also offer career counseling and life coaching for those navigating big transitions, burnout, or seeking more purpose and direction. Whether you're choosing a career path, rebuilding your confidence, or figuring out your next chapter — we can map it out together. Maybe you’re working through relationship challenges. Maybe your mental health has been taking a hit. Or maybe you just know it’s time for change — even if you’re not sure what that looks like yet. Whatever brought you here, just know you're not alone, and growth is absolutely possible. I bring a culturally responsive, trauma-informed, and compassionate approach to every session. I know how much it matters to feel safe, respected, and understood — especially if you come from a background where therapy hasn’t always felt accessible or welcoming. Therapy with me is real, down-to-earth, and rooted in trust. There’s no pressure to be perfect — just space to explore, heal, and grow at your own pace. If you’re ready to start moving forward — in your relationships, your career, your confidence, or your sense of peace — I’m here to walk with you. Let’s do this together. Book a session — your growth, healing, and purpose start here.

For over two decades, I have dedicated my life to the art and science of therapy, committed to helping individuals navigate their personal challenges and achieve meaningful change. My journey began with a deep passion for understanding the human experience, which has since evolved into a multifaceted practice grounded in evidence-based modalities. Throughout my career, I have honed my skills in a variety of therapeutic approaches, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), ART, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Each of these modalities has equipped me to address complex trauma and equip my clients with the tools they need to heal and grow. My extensive experience in trauma-focused therapies has allowed me to create safe spaces where individuals can confront their pasts and build resilience for the future. A significant portion of my work has centered around substance abuse counseling, where I have spent 20 years developing my expertise in both group and individual settings. This work has not only deepened my understanding of addiction but has also reinforced the importance of community and connection in the recovery process. For the past 15 years, I have been on the front lines of crisis intervention, assisting individuals facing some of the most challenging moments of their lives. Together, we create tailored action plans that empower them to forge a path toward healing and stability. My practice is inclusive and diverse, having had the privilege of working with clients ranging from as young as five to adults in their sixties. I find particular joy in working with teenagers, helping them navigate the tumultuous landscape of adolescence, and providing support to women grappling with issues related to body image and weight management. My understanding of eating disorders and compulsive behaviors, including addictions to pornography, allows me to approach these sensitive topics with empathy and expertise. In my work, I strive to foster an environment where clients feel seen, heard, and validated. I believe that every individual’s story is unique, and I am here to walk alongside them as they uncover their strengths and develop strategies for overcoming obstacles. My commitment to ongoing professional development and self-reflection ensures that I remain at the forefront of therapeutic practices, continually enhancing my ability to support those I serve. As I reflect on my journey, I am grateful for the opportunity to contribute to the healing of others. My work as a therapist is not just a profession; it is a calling that brings me immense fulfillment and purpose. Together, we can embark on a transformative journey toward healing and self-discovery, empowering individuals to reclaim their lives and thrive.
