Therapists serving clients in Highland, UT

Hi there! My name is Mike and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Utah. I obtained my Master's in Social Work from University of Southern California. I have worked as a social worker for over 8 years with families and individuals in community, outpatient, and inpatient settings. A lot of the work I've done has been extensively with individuals dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma, and LGBTQ+ issues. My approach leans heavily on CBT, solution-focused, and strengths-based modalities, which helps me to empower clients and help them to feel more at ease in a setting that can typically feel uncomfortable. I have a genuine passion to help others work towards their best self. I consider myself a very approachable and down-to-earth person and therapist, and I pride myself on being able to make sessions feel as inviting, friendly, and fulfilling as possible. When not working, I am often trying to keep myself busy by playing video games with my son, going to rock concerts, or watching any movies or TV shows that can make me laugh.

Hi, my name is Tina and I am a LCSW in Utah. By working together, healing is possible. I have experience working with people who struggle with addiction, interpersonal relationship conflict, depression, PTSD and anxiety. I have 15 years of experience working with people with disabilities, five years of experience as an addiction therapist, four years of experience working with adolescence in-patient and outpatient and two years working with survivors of domestic violence. I have working with people from the age of four years old to 76 years old. I offer a wide arrange of treatment modalities such as CBT, EMDR, and solution focused.

I am a Marriage and Family Therapist in Utah and have been helping individuals achieve their treatment goals for 11 years. My approach is warm and compassionate, while also being direct and to the point. My favorite modalities are Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. I am also trained in EMDR (trauma therapy) and other modalities. I like to tailor the treatment to the individual and will draw from whatever modality I feel is needed for a particular client. I have worked in different settings, which has given me a wide range of experience with issues such as depression, anxiety, loneliness, stress-related issues, mood disorders, trauma, family conflict, and general guidance and decision-making. One of my strengths is being able to really put myself in someone else's shoes and get a really good sense of how they feel. This helps people feel that I really do understand their struggles and helps them feel supported and that they are not alone. This, combined with my experience and knowledge, has proven to be an asset to individuals that work with me. I do not like to mix religion with research-based treatment and would not be a good match if you are looking for a religion-focused therapist. I consider myself to be open-minded and not judgmental. I am more than willing to answer questions and understand that not every therapist is a good match for all individuals. You will never feel pressure from me if you need to try someone else after interacting with me. I look forward to meeting you and working with you!

When you feel like you’re just spinning your wheels, therapy can help you gain the traction you need to get your life moving forward again. Therapy can help you learn how to stop struggling with such difficulties as worry, unhappiness, self-doubt, lack of motivation, loneliness, homesickness, or the pain of loss. Therapy can help you get unstuck from repeated struggles with yourself and difficulties with others. In our meetings, you and I will work together to identify the roadblocks that keep holding you back. I will assist you in creating permanent strategies to get past those roadblocks and start living the life you want to live. I am available for live sessions (video or phone) from early morning through afternoon on weekdays. Early risers, take note! Depending on the day, I may have morning appointments available as early as 5:00 AM Pacific/6:00 AM Mountain/7:00 AM Central/8:00 AM Eastern (and sometimes even earlier). I am licensed to provide therapy when you are physically located in California, Nevada, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Utah, Arizona, Colorado, Wisconsin, Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, or Vermont.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker that has worked over the course of 19 years in both inpatient Crisis and outpatient counseling settings with individuals, couples and families, ages 4 y.o. to 85 y.o. in Florida, Utah, Maine, Arizona, and several other countries. I am very versatile in my approach, tending to begin where you, the client are first, then tailoring my interventions from that point on. My specialty is in working with PTSD, i.e. abuse , and primary and secondary traumas, and have advanced training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, including the Flash Technique. I have also frequently worked with the Chronically Mentally Ill person, including those with Schizophrenia, Bipolar, Dissociative issues, and Depression, as well as those in various Life Transitional stages, Ex Pats, HSPs, and Developmental delays. I have also counseled a few individuals with up to middle stage Dementia (since newer Rx leaves them with tremendous adjustment issues) and their caregivers and parents struggling with parenting issues. My highest comfort level is with ages 18 and over in Individual sessions. My counseling style is ecclectic, with a warmth of engagement and focus on acceptance, positive regard, and trust-building, but can be highly solution-focused and brief as needed in the course of your therapy. I use a Motivational Interviewing technique to identify both what it is the client truly desires, as well as what they do not want, or are not motivated to achieve, and why. I then will shift to a more Strengths-based and Skill-building approach and the use of Cognitive-Behavioral and Humanistic interventions with a Family Systems and Developmental perspective on relational issues. I have done my own personal counseling work, and recognize it to be a powerful, yet courageous endeavor in a person's life. Good therapy can transform you and it is a gift to be able to engage in it. Every person is precious, and deserving of respect, kindness, and a place to be fully heard, accepted, and a place to develop their best selves in a healing, compassionate environment. I consider my work as a therapist to be a sacred trust, a privilege, a calling, and part of my own journey as a fellow human being. Working with you will be an honor to help you on your very unique path toward a healthier you, and in the style you determine to be the most helpful and supportive.

Hello! My name is CarolAnn Anglesey, you can call me CarolAnn, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. LCSWs are social workers who have been trained and licensed to provide mental health counseling. I have been a therapist for 20 years and have worked with many different populations who have come to me with a variety of issues. I have worked extensively with issues of abuse and domestic violence, helping people find strength and confidence through the pain of their past. I have also worked with service members of the armed forces struggling with the various issues faced in service domestically and abroad. And through it all, certain struggles weave their way in and out of all our lives-- depression, anxiety, grief, pain, loss, and loneliness. I am a good listener with a talent for putting people at ease and providing a safe, accepting environment for you to share your concerns. I also enjoy educating people about the signs and symptoms of mental illness as well as ways to cope with and even conquer their travails. I am a Jungian therapist, but also employ whatever therapeutic practice that may be helpful for each individual patient, including cognitive behavioral, rational emotive, reality therapy, choice theory, solution focused, existential, narrative, dialectical behavioral, trauma-focused, etc. I believe in being honest and will, at times, practice some brutal honesty when needed, but try to do so with compassion, sensitivity, and respect. Therapy can be hard work, and there are no quick answers. Sir Winston Churchill once said, "Every day you may make progress. Every step may be fruitful. Yet there will stretch out before you an ever-lengthening, ever-ascending, ever-improving path. You know you will never get to the end of the journey. But this, so far from discouraging, only adds to the joy and glory of the climb." If you are ready for the challenge-- if you are ready to change your life, to heal, to move on, to feel free from your burdens, I'm here to help.

Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process. I am told that I am easy going, casual and sometimes fun in session. I hope I can help put you at ease during our first session. I get how difficult it is to make the first step towards change and I see it is my job to guide and support you in the process.

I'm Carlos Velazquez, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 14 years of experience. My goal is to help you discover your true self, find fulfillment, and live life to the fullest. I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). CBT is based on the idea that psychological problems stem from faulty thinking and learned unhelpful behaviors. It emphasizes that thoughts, not external events, create feelings. DBT equips clients with skills to manage emotions and improve relationships through mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. Before deciding to work with me, know that I can provide tools for recognizing unhelpful thinking, understanding others' behavior, problem-solving, boosting confidence, facing fears, and achieving mindfulness. However, I cannot provide certain documents, such as formal diagnoses, Emotional Support Animal letters, or recommendations for medication. Your journey starts with the first step, and seeking help is a commendable move. I look forward to working with you.
