Therapists in Utah

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.

Hi, there! My name is Tamra Priestley and I am a clinical mental health counselor (CMHC) living in Utah. I am also a Life Coach, specializing in the essentials of self-mastery, and relationships. It is my passion to help people have successful relationships, first with themselves, and then with others. It has been a joy to help those who are seeking to learn skills necessary for successful relationships! Most people just don’t know how! I have also been privileged to help many individuals overcome the devastating effects of anxiety and depression. I experienced this devastation myself and no longer suffer from those emotions. I want to help you learn how to live more peaceful, productive, and happy lives. I have also worked with many individuals who have experienced pain from trauma and abuse in all the ways that can happen. This leads to lack of motivation, poor self-esteem, lack of confidence, depression and anxiety. Trauma and abuse may affect every part of your life until healing occurs. I want to help you heal those parts of your past. My experience includes working in three private practices (now my own) and for a company providing services to their employees, including first responders and law enforcement and their families. I have worked with the elderly experiencing end-of-life issues. I love working with people from all walks of life. Each person is so important! Drawing from my own experiences as a single parent, a son who has several challenges, adoption, divorce, abuse, and many other experiences helps me to utilize my professional training in a way that is personal and effective. I believe in homework that helps you grow beyond the sessions. I welcome the opportunity to help you in your current challenges to find meaning and purpose, learn new skills, and experience a healed and happier life!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in southeastern Utah with 10+ years of experience working with teens and adults. Six of these years have been in clinical practice. Some of the therapeutic needs I have been presented with during this time have included: individual and generational trauma, anxiety, depression, addictions, traumatic brain injury, attachment issues, loss and grief issues, guilt and mental health crises. My interest in mental health and behavioral therapy was greatly influenced during my employment as a drug and suicide prevention program director for a company on the Navajo Nation. During my 5 years with this company, my team and I were nationally recognized for our work developing experiential-based programs for at-risk youth that included summer camps, youth businesses, equine therapy and high ropes courses. I appreciated the opportunities and training in multi-cultural sensitivity, trauma-based therapeutic approaches and program development I received here. After this, I worked as a medical social worker in a hospital and a homecare and hospice company, concurrently. While here, my work ranged from connecting people with needed resources to intense mental health crisis counseling in the emergency room. I believe we are all products of our closest relationships, our environment, our family systems and every moment that leads to the present us. I strive to treat the therapeutic relationship, and you, with compassion, respect and warmth. My therapy style depends on what each person I am working with needs in a particular moment. Just as you might fall and scrape your knee in one instance, or be involved in a serious accident in another, our mental health approaches need to be flexible and effective based on what is being experienced. That said, I draw from Mindfulness, Motivational Interviewing, Internal Family Systems, Emotional Freedom Technique, Trauma-Focused Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. A top priority for me is to meet you where you are and provide an environment and treatment options that will work best for us as we work together to meet your goals. It takes a lot of strength and will power to make needed changes in your life. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support you.

I’m a therapist who deeply believes in the power of change. I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside people as they face challenges, grow, and find new ways of moving forward, and I don’t take that lightly. Those moments of growth, big or small, feel sacred to me. I love working with adults and teens who struggle with anxiety and everyday challenges. My goal is to offer more than just insight; I want to give people tools they can actually use and to work myself out of a job. For most, therapy shouldn't last forever. My own struggles have helped me connect more deeply with the people I work with and given me a clearer sense of how meaningful and tough real change can be. Those experiences have shaped how I show up in the room, with compassion, curiosity, and a practical mindset. I focus on long-term growth, helping clients build confidence, resilience, and self-trust. Clients often tell me they feel calm, safe, understood, and not judged in sessions. I think that kind of connection is what makes therapy work. When people feel seen and valued, real change becomes possible. I believe in your ability to change, I’m honored to be here.

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.

I am licensed in Utah with 8 years of professional work experience, while I’ve worked in the mental health industry for 12 years (inpatient treatment for youth, inpatient treatment for adults, CPS, foster care, DV shelter, and in home services for people with disabilities). I specialize in working with teens and adults navigating addiction, depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma, body image, perfectionism, attachment challenges, and LGBTQIA-related issues, disordered eating, coping with grief, & coping with loss. I also have experience working with clients who have dual diagnosis, autism, personality disorders, OCD, BPD, Bipolar, and ODD. Finding the right therapist is an important first step toward healing—and I believe that the most effective therapy begins with a strong, trusting relationship. My approach is identity-centered and grounded in compassion, presence, and genuine understanding. My role is to help you reconnect with that inner wisdom—serving as a sounding board, offering support, and holding space for self-discovery and growth. In addition to traditional talk therapy, I am trained in Brainspotting—a powerful, neuroscience-based modality that can help process trauma more deeply and efficiently. Many of my clients have found Brainspotting to be transformative, especially when other approaches haven’t gone far enough.

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.
