Being the largest city in Iron County, Cedar City is about 250 miles from Salt Lake City and has over 30 thousand people who call it home. Founded in 1851, the town is known for its large cedar trees that provide shade from the hot Utah sun and is also the birthplace of Mitch Talbot, a famous major league baseball pitcher.

However, being less than 200 miles from the City of Las Vegas, Nevada has become a problem for some who suffer from gambling addictions. In fact, these kinds of issues can affect the whole family as well as your job and relationships. If you or someone you know needs help with this or any other mental health issues, contact one of the many counselors in Cedar City, who are always ready to help.

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.

Hi, I’m Reynie (pronounced “Renny”). I’ve been providing mental health therapy in various capacities for over twenty-five years, and I remain deeply committed to helping people build long-term well-being and greater life satisfaction. My approach is grounded in warmth, acceptance, and compassion, with the goal of truly understanding who you are and what you need so our work together can be as effective and meaningful as possible. I primarily practice Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), helping clients develop practical skills for navigating everyday challenges while also addressing deeper core issues that may continue to impact overall functioning. My aim is to help you understand your pain, accept it for what it is, and build the confidence needed to make healthy, values-based choices that support lasting well-being. Along the way, I offer a supportive and attentive presence—sometimes that means teaching skills, and other times it simply means listening so you can feel heard and understood. In addition to ACT, I integrate other evidence-based modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), and EMDR. I work with individuals experiencing a wide range of concerns, such as depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, ADHD, OCD tendencies, LGBTQ+ issues and self-acceptance, and faith transitions or religious trauma, among others. Outside of my work, I enjoy being present with my loved ones, creating and playing music, watching sports, and continuing to engage in a career I find deeply fulfilling. I look forward to meeting you and exploring whether we may be a good fit to work together.
