Therapists in Francis, UT

A FORWARD-THINKING, EXPERIENCED THERAPIST Licensed Mental Health Therapist with 35 years of in-patient and out-patient professional experience working with adults, adolescents, children, and families. Specializes in working with relationships, complex trauma (childhood trauma within families), PTSD, anxiety, stress disorders, addiction recovery, blended family issues, extended family issues, and spiritual crisis. I lived and worked in Seattle for 28 years and in 2016 moved to southern Utah for the landscapes and the red rocks I love. I have a deep respect for personal struggles. I also have great confidence in the therapeutic process based on the transformations I've witnessed in the lives of the men, women, and young people with whom I've been privileged to work. Many of my clients are high-functioning, corporate professionals, first responders, healthcare professionals, therapists themselves, or people who have been in therapy before but seek a more integrative approach. I also work with people new to therapy who are seeking to build a more solid foundation for their emotional health. The heart of what I do is create a safe space for clients to address the issues that are keeping them from moving forward in their lives. My style is active and direct. I use trauma-informed and evidence-based approaches. I'm a Jungian and an experiential therapist and use Rational Emotive and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapies. I've taught the MBSR, Jon Kabat-Zinn's 'Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction' course and integrate elements as it's extremely effective in working with anxiety as well as targeting the very roots of addictive behaviors. As a therapist I draw not only on my education, but also on my life experiences as a woman, a daughter, a sister, a wife, and a mother. I am by nature interested in the world around me and continue to educate myself both formally and informally. In 1993, I began to practice Vipassana Meditation, a simple form of sitting/walking meditation. This continues to support me personally and has informed my work over the years. Thoughts are powerful. They shape our lives, impact our health, and play an important role in our ability to be creative and to problem-solve. Thoughts impact the choices we make throughout our lives and can help us respond with resiliency when life challenges us. I advocate living life with compassion. Change is hard. Most of us resist change for fear of what's unknown in the future. I understand it takes courage to reach out for help. If you wish to work with me, bring your grit, your honesty, but most importantly a strong commitment to yourself. I'm here to help.

Welcome to my Profile! My name is Pamela J. Lane, MEd, LPC-S, but please feel free to call me Pam. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the State of Texas and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in Utah (LCMHC). I have well over 25 years of experience with diverse populations in the mental health field working with adults of all ages and adolescents. My history includes having extensive experience working with a myriad of mental health and behavior challenges in adolescent, adult, and special needs populations. As such, I have counseled closely with many individuals that suffer from Major Depressive Disorder, Anxiety, Bipolar Disorder, Schizophrenia, and many other personality, behavior and relationship challenges through the multitude of life's transitions. I am happy to make myself available to help answer your questions and advise you of some ways of handling the challenges in your life or in understanding those around you. I can guide and advise you as to what coping skills and strategies may help regarding your thoughts, feelings, or behaviors, in order for you to reach your goals or manage your everyday world. I describe my counseling style as “Talk Therapy” with an easy to talk to presence. I believe that the connection of the way we “think” and “perceive” situations can be changed through rational/reality-based information. However, I am very eclectic in my manner of counseling and treat each person as unique with unique life experiences and circumstances. I have recently been trained in EMDR Therapy which can help greatly when a person’s history includes past trauma, abuse, or phobias. Let me help you decipher your needs & guide you in navigating the transitions in your life. On a personal note, as a mental health professional, I have more likely than not… heard it all and have seen most things. I would be honored to make myself available to visit and work with any person who would feel comfortable working with me on any (well, most) any challenge or life transition.

My name is Becky Jacobson, and I am a licensed mental health counselor in the state of Florida and Utah. I have over 15 years of experience. I grew up overseas, and spent most of my early years in India, where my parents worked. Being raised in another country has made me interested in and open to working with other cultures.

My internship was with a community mental health agency, after which I went to work with a medical agency serving Medicare and Hospice patients and families. I have been blessed to work with all age groups, from 5 year olds to 95 year olds! My main focus of practice has been grief therapy and bereavement counseling, but all my clients have presented with many additional concerns such as anxiety, depression, family conflicts, relationship and stress related issues, caregiver fatigue, finding purpose, and learning to navigate a multitude of life's challenges. The counseling style I use is warm, empathic, conversational and interactive. My goal is to develop trust and rapport and maintain a mutual understanding and connection with my clients. Cognitive-behavioral, solution focused, and person centered are the types of therapy that I utilize. I find great joy in empowering clients to make positive changes and overcome challenges they may be facing!
