Hello, I'm Rick. I believe life is about our ability to make healthy connections with others and to be our honest, true self while doing it. Life is complicated. I believe we all have challenges and that there is no shame in getting a little help when things seem out of control or beyond our ability to handle. While there are so many things like childhood experiences, trauma, complex relationships and even some of our own choices that got us to where we are today, I believe we have to recognize and accept where we are right now and then find positive healthy ways to move forward. Life can be better. Your life can be better. My focus is on really getting to know you and helping you identify what challenges are the most concerning to you and then exploring solutions and providing you tools to overcome those challenges. I will also provide you support along your path as you use those tools. We will check in all along the way to see how progress is going and if changes need to be made in our direction. I have worked with a wide variety of people over the past 25 years and I see every new client as a new and unique person that I get the privilege of getting to know and hopefully help as we travel together on this journey.

Hi, I'm Kory. I'm an experienced mental health therapist with over 10 years of experience providing outpatient therapy to individuals, couples, and families. I work with clients navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and high-stress life challenges. I also enjoy helping people who experience performance anxiety, pressure, self-doubt, and burnout, as well as individuals who want to improve focus, confidence, and emotional resilience in order to reach their potential. My work focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns, strengthening emotional regulation, and developing practical skills that translate into everyday life, relationships, and personal growth. I take an integrative therapy approach, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT). These approaches help individuals heal, take personal responsibility, and overcome unhelpful thinking patterns that may be holding them back. I encourage clients to quiet their thoughts, focus on their strengths, and become more aware of maladaptive thoughts and behaviors. Together, we work to replace these with healthier thoughts and behaviors that help you move toward your goals. I strive to build a strong, supportive, and collaborative relationship with my clients so they feel comfortable learning and applying new coping skills that lead to meaningful and lasting change.

Find a therapist near you in Elk Ridge, Utah

Finding a therapist near you in Elk Ridge, Utah starts with matching to a licensed professional who fits your needs, schedule, and goals. Utah is home to people with diverse mental health needs across urban, suburban, and rural communities, which can make it challenging to find care. BetterHelp connects you with a licensed therapist through tailored matching, so you can begin care from home or wherever works for you. 

The network includes over 30,000 licensed therapists globally, and over 4 million people have used BetterHelp to find support through online therapy. During matching, 93% of user preferences are met, which helps you connect with a therapist suited to what you are looking for. Whether you are searching for help with anxiety, trauma, affordable or insurance covered therapy, weekend or flexible scheduling, or virtual sessions, you can find a therapist and get started when you are ready.

Why work with a licensed therapist near you?

Working with a licensed therapist near you gives you access to professional mental health support from someone trained to help you understand and manage what you are going through. A licensed therapist can offer evidence-based approaches, a steady space to talk, and guidance tailored to your situation. In Utah, online therapy can make that care more accessible, since sessions happen from home or wherever you are, without the need to travel to an office. This can help if your schedule is full, if travel is difficult, or if you simply prefer a more discreet setting. You can learn more about what a therapist does on the therapist role page.

Online therapy can be especially helpful for people living across Utah, where access to in-person mental health care may vary by location.

What concerns can therapists help with?

Therapists can help with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety and stress, depression, trauma and PTSD, self-esteem and identity, people-pleasing and fear of rejection, insomnia and racing thoughts, workplace stress and burnout, substance use, parenting and co-parenting stress, grief and loss, and relationship and family challenges. Therapists on BetterHelp may draw on approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), depending on your needs and goals. You can explore support for specific concerns on pages such as generalized anxiety disorder, major depressive disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, and eating disorders.

Please note that therapists on BetterHelp do not provide psychiatric medication management or formal diagnoses.

Online therapy vs. in-person therapy in Utah

Online therapy and in-person therapy both connect you with a licensed professional, and the main difference is how you meet. In Utah, online therapy through BetterHelp lets you have sessions by phone, video, or in-app messaging, so you can meet from home or on a schedule that fits your life. In-person therapy takes place at an office and may involve travel and set appointment windows. Online therapy may be more accessible for people with busy schedules, limited transportation, or a preference for a more discreet setting. Both formats can support meaningful progress, so the right choice often comes down to what fits your life.

Finding a therapist that accepts insurance in Utah

BetterHelp accepts insurance through many major insurance plans. Insurance availability and coverage may vary by state, plan, provider network, and therapist availability, and deductible status. Eligible members' average copay is $23 per session.

If you prefer to pay without insurance, BetterHelp subscriptions range from $70 to $100 per week, billed as an alternative way to access the same care, and you can use HSA and FSA funds toward the cost. For a full breakdown of how BetterHelp works with insurance plans, see BetterHelp insurance coverage.
