Therapists in Ballard, UT

Hello! My name is Caroline, and I have held a license in clinical social work for 15 years; and have been in the helping profession for over 20 years. Currently, I am practicing in the State of Utah; however, prior to this, I lived and worked in the great State of Michigan. I have served families and individuals experiencing homelessness; mental health concerns; addictions; family conflict; and other significant life events. I have always been proud to serve in my profession; I am continuously humbled and impressed by the strength and resiliency of the human spirit. My counseling style is warm and collaborative. We are in this journey together; and I firmly believe in the importance of the therapeutic alliance. I believe in treating everyone with dignity and respect, and recognize that it is a gift when someone commits to sharing their story with me. My counseling approach combines cognitive-behavioral; client-centered; solution focused; and motivational interviewing counseling styles. I believe the way that we think about ourselves directly impacts how we view and participate in the world around us. A change in perspective can encourage light in seemingly dark places. Change is never easy, but I believe that you have the tools and drive to change anything you desire. Congratulations on taking the first steps toward positive change in your life. I look forward to the opportunity to encourage, support, and empower you!

I am passionate about helping people learn more about themselves and empower them to make the best decisions for their lives.

I have always been a big fan of Dolly Parton's quote "If you don't like the road you're walking, start paving a new one." However, paving a new path for ourselves can be overwhelming and I feel that no one should have to do that alone. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over a decade of experience in the field of social services. I became a therapist to help people navigate life transitions and cope with anxiety disorders. I have worked in a variety of settings including social service agencies and private practice groups. The majority of my work has been assisting undergraduate and graduate students with navigating their challenging academic programs as well as assisting young professionals (especially new teachers and social workers) to navigate the anxiety and stress associated with starting their career which can present numerous challenges with anxiety and setting boundaries. I have also developed experience in assisting adult gay men in coming out by being an informed clinician in processing the challenges that have come with living with unaccepting family members and friend groups and providing support and coping strategies to deal with this difficult process. As a lifelong gamer myself, who has played on numerous video game competitive teams, I am informed and affirming about video games. This is an important quality for some client's to be aware of as I feel this quality about me allows a reduction in the propensity for introducing a negative bias toward video games in the therapy space. Therapy is a flexible space that looks different for every client. However, in general, you can expect a client-centered approach and I tend to also draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. As you begin to start paving that new road, I'll come along and help guide this process using these tools and provide support, help you build awareness, work toward a reduction in symptoms, and provide encouragement as you move through your experience.
