Therapists serving clients in Centerfield, UT

Hello there! Thank you for taking the time to read my profile page. Being a supportive clinical social worker is one of the greatest joys in my life. I enjoy listening to others and helping them to find a way through tough times. My experience includes a Masters and Doctorate in Social Work and for almost 20 years, I have worked with teens and adults. Currently, I counsel the chronically ill on end of life decisions, help couples navigate marriage and families, individuals with mental health struggles, and teach at a local university. I "retired" after 15 years of helping teens and their families try to understand how to resolve conflict and learn to communicate better. I also have a small private practices where I help people in tough transitions such as divorce and family issues. I counsel a lot of couples who have struggled with infidelity and polyamorous and open relationships. In my clinical practices and experiences, I have had the privilege of helping families overcome struggles with teens are struggling through issues of adolescence and mental health problems. Parents sometimes believe that they are the only parents going through tough with teens. I enjoy supporting parents in the journey as hard as it might be sometimes. Also, I have a passion for helping those navigating a new life in sobriety. Addiction recovery is one of the bravest things that I have seen people overcome and I like to help people stay on the path of recovery. All my clinical practice incorporates cognitive behaviors strategies with a very positive Rogerian approach. Those I treat will be treated with respect and clearly set boundaries. I want to help others by starting to help them where they want to begin. I believe in my clients I help and I want them to be happy and successful. I can help my clients by setting goals, open communication, and unconditional positive regard to help with hard life situations. I wish you the best on your journey and hope to have the chance to help you! Sincerely, Dr. Terri Nicole Sawyer, LCSW Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional (CCATP) Certified Clinical Telemental Health Provider (CTMH) Certified in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (C-DBT)

I was raised in Peru. I attended Brigham Young University and graduated with my Bachelor Degree in Psychology and Social Work. I married while in school and raised six children. I started work at a state social services agency, working for children and families. I attended the University of Utah and earned my Master Degree in Social Work. I have worked as a therapist, most recently in Private Practice, in a Hospital setting and In a Social Services Agency. I like to start working with clients from where they are, at the time. I have been able to help clients adapt helpful ways to deal with personal relationships, with parenting challenges. Also, have assisted clients who are dealing with depression, anxiety, grief added to the challenges of daily life. I have had the privilege of helping clients at their most vulnerable times in their lives, we all need help at times. I have assisted people in dealing with depression and anxiety when the source is not clear and obvious. I believe that mental and emotional health is crucially important if we are going to have full participation in life. I believe this process involves the use of many different components, for best results. So, we need to make sure that there are not medical reasons for the issues we are going to be working on. We look into what we have learned about ourselves and about others. We look into the ways we respond to the changing world around us and consider other possible ways to better that connection. We learn new skills, to deal with the world around us. First, by looking at the world around us from a different perspective; Second, by learning to look at ourselves without judgement; Thirdly by examining the motivations behind our words and actions. With pure intention, we can gain enormous insight , which will be the foundation of further understanding of ourselves and the world around us, in our constant effort to reach a meaningful empowered life.

Hi, my name is Jeanie. (legal name Norma Jean, but I’ve always gone by Jeanie) I have a master’s degree in social work. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I have been working in the social work field for 30 years but as a LCSW for 18 years. I have experience working with adults of all ages on issues ranging from depression, anxiety, addiction, anger management, trauma, grief, and many more. I have also spent 18 years working part time with parents who have children with either a disability or a developmental delay. We have worked on the anxiety, depression, guilt and grief among other topics as it has been relevant and needed. I love working with individuals to help them make changes in their lives. Life does come with unexpected challenges and how we react and work through those challenges can often be overwhelming and we sometimes need assistance. Reaching out can be overwhelming. I have a passion for helping others meet those challenges and making changes. Feeling like someone is actually listening to you and focusing on you is so important, especially in today's world. As a therapist, I focus on each person’s specific needs and I adjust my style accordingly. I want to meet you where you are at and work on the goals you have in mind. I tend to draw from solution focused, strengths based and cognitive behavioral areas in order to help folks problem solve things that are going on currently and in the past. I also believe in setting goals, and developing homework with the client that will help the client be accountable and responsible for their own change process. This has worked well for my client’s and outcomes have been positive. I look forward to working with you!

I am excited for you that you've chosen to take a step towards healing. It can be scary to face your own judgments and fears. I also think some of the most beautiful experiences come from when we truly embrace our most authentic selves and it requires true strength and bravery to show up for yourself in your most authentic way vulnerabilities and all. I know what it feels like to be lost, broken, confused, or frustrated in life. Together we can help you strengthen your abilities to cope with the twist and turns of life. Don't feel like you currently have any abilities to cope? Don't worry we can find them in you and develop them too. I believe in the healing nature of secure relationships. When you engage in therapy it's my goal to create a safe environment for you to express and explore your story. This helps us both better understand what's happening that brought you to therapy. I work compassionately while monitoring my own life experiences and judgments to ensure I am showing up for you in the most authentic and helpful way. I welcome feedback on our work so I can improve how I work with you. Therapy with me is very collaborative, I listen and gather information, and then listen more. I want to understand you and your unique struggles. Our work together will focus on your goals and help you see improvements in the things that matter most to you. We can identify ways to cope more effectively and change old-held beliefs for a more adaptive outlook on life. My work experience has a vast range. I've worked in homes with developmentally disabled adults, residential, day treatment, and intensive outpatient substance abuse rehabilitation centers, working on the streets with our homeless and those with severe persistent mental illness, in private practice, community mental health agencies, and in schools. Because of the various environments and unique people in each environment, I have been blessed to meet, work with, and alongside some truly amazing people. I have worked with ages 5 to 80+ years of age. I was born and raised in Provo Utah and went to New York University for graduate school. Having spent time in two very different environments I have again been exposed to a variety of backgrounds which has made my life richer. I love to travel, I have visited England and India while seeing the inside of airports in Germany and Iceland so far. I hope to add Italy, Ireland, and Scotland to the list soon. My friends and family describe me as warm, friendly, silly, passionate, and easy to talk to. I have often said to my clients, I may be the one with a fancy paper on the wall, but you are the expert in your life, with the ability to enact the most amazing changes. Sometimes we just have to have some guidance, support, and unconditional love and acceptance. I think you should always feel comfortable with your therapist, If you meet me and decide I am not the right fit, that is fine I would encourage you to find the therapist that is the right fit. It's when we feel supported and safe that we are better able to explore and enact lasting change in our lives.

Hi there! I’m Jennifer and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in both Florida and Utah. I have been in the field and working with clients for over a decade. Throughout that time, I have worked in various settings, including community mental health, private practice, inpatient behavioral health, and within public schools. I am also a Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor (CIEC) and I specialize in helping people struggling with eating disorders/eating and food-related issues, body image concerns, low self-esteem, and anxiety. I also specialize in and have spent a great deal of time working with couples helping them to improve communication skills, increase emotional intimacy, heal from infidelities and broken trust, learn effective ways to manage conflict, and strengthen the foundation of their relationship. I am a Level 1 Gottman Method trained therapist and a Certified Prepare/Enrich Facilitator. I am also trained in play therapy and have extensive experience working with children, teens, and families in order to help manage concerns ranging from family conflict, divorce/separation, parenting concerns, behavioral issues, reunification, and grief and loss. I am also a Certified facilitator of the Systematic Training for Effective Parenting Program (STEP). I primarily utilize a person-centered approach, meeting clients where they are by implementing empathy, active listening, and a non-judgmental environment. I believe YOU are the expert of your own life. I am also trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT). When I’m not working with clients, you can usually find me outdoors (I’m a true, born and raised Floridian!): cycling, hiking, running, gardening, paddleboarding, or reading a book on the beach. I also love to travel, try new recipes in the kitchen, and most of all, spend time with my family. I believe in a warm, fun, collaborative style of therapy, and I am passionate about providing a safe, non-judgmental space for my clients to gain the insight and awareness they need in order to express themselves, heal, change unhealthy patterns, and reach their goals. You’ve already made a huge, brave first step toward healing and feeling so much better. I am ready when you are to join you on your continued journey. You are not alone. I look forward to getting to know you and learning how I can help.

As a compassionate and collaborative Social Worker, I bring over 30 years of experience in mental health and healthcare with the past 5 years devoted specifically to providing individual therapy. My various training and specializations in emotional regulation, mood and stress management, burnout and self-care, grief and loss, cognitive restructuring, and palliative care and serious illness conversations equip me to deliver a well-rounded and eclectic approach. I have knowledge and experience working with individuals living with anxiety, depression, trauma history, chronic/serious illness, grief and loss, and difficulty adjusting to life stressors and transitions. Some therapy interventions I am informed on are cognitive behavioral and processing therapy, solution focused therapy, polyvagal therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and motivational interviewing. Do you ever walk through life wondering if you can feel better or if you will ever be able to discover the best version of you? Do you sometimes feel stuck and wonder how to move forward? We all get stuck and might be plagued with uncertainty, self-doubt, and confusion on what direction to go or how to climb out of the place we are in. I value the therapeutic relationship and the power of this collaborative work. My approach to this collaborative relationship is from a strengths-based perspective and incorporates various interventions to meet your unique and specific needs. I work as a partner to explore and empower change based on the communicated therapeutic goals. I am an empathetic and engaged listener who believes the individual is deserving of respect and dignity, and I provide this in a nonjudgmental, warm manner. I acknowledge the courage and strength it takes to take this step and am here to support and empower your journey. Every one of us is a constant work in progress. We all strive to be the best versions of ourselves and seek relationships and connections with others who will be supportive in our journey. Therapy can be a safe place to explore and discover your strengths and abilities, learn strategies and tools to improve day to day life, and practice and evaluate ways to benefit your relationships and interactions outside of this space. Another important aspect of therapy is to learn how to challenge and restructure the learned thought processes we have grown accustomed to through inserting flexibility, recognizing alternatives and options, building awareness of the positives, and allowing for time, space, and nurturing. The relationship and connection between you and I (therapist) are of the utmost importance. This interaction is what opens doors, builds trust, and instills possibilities. Part of the strength of our relationship is the ability to be open and honest with each other in a compassionate, helpful, and reciprocal way. It is beneficial for me as the therapist to welcome feedback in negative and positive forms in order to develop my therapeutic relationship and rapport with you. Another factor that makes therapy successful is your commitment to practicing and applying the tools and strategies learned within the therapeutic setting in your daily life. This time in therapy is a tiny fraction of your life and is merely a practice run. Consistency and repetition are what allow for change and restructuring of your thoughts and habits.
