I'd like assist you in being kinder to yourself and having your life feeling and functioning better than when you start working with me. I will say up front that I do not think significant suicidality and BetterHelp are a good clinical fit. I have worked with many many suicidal clients and even spent years working in psych hospitals, day treatment, and IOPs, but on this platform I won't be able to take on clients who are facing significant safety challenges of suicidal ideation or self harm. I would encourage you to find in-person therapy resources or local therapy practices. Respecting diversity and understanding social justice is very important to me, and I strive to be culturally competent for a range of client backgrounds. I lived in a lot of places in the US and bring a lot of NYC and LA flavor to sessions, yet I have worked to understand Utahn cultures. I work with a lot of people in the kink, ENM/poly, and social activist communities, yet also a fair amount of quite conservative Utahns. I definitely work with a lot of people who identify as LGBTQ+. I look forward to meeting you. Please know that online therapy can be hugely effective for you. Let’s get started.

I am a Clinical Mental Health Counselor licensed in the state of Utah. I have experience working with children, teens, and families. Some of the concerns that I have worked with clients on in therapy include family conflict, transitioning to adulthood, long-term depression, persistent anxiety, stress, abuse, and trauma. I am an EMDR-trained therapist who has worked with clients who have experienced sexual abuse and sexual trauma. I have experience working with clients with ADHD, on the autism spectrum, and who would consider themselves "quirky". My counseling style is open and based around conversation. I help my clients to conceptualize their concerns and problems in a different light, changing the meaning of the stories they tell without changing the facts. I also help clients to develop different skills that can help to manage symptoms of distress in everyday life, such as mindfulness and meditation techniques and thought-changing skills. My counseling style combines EMDR and Narrative therapy techniques with DBT, CBT, and mindfulness skills for a whole-body wellness approach. I understand how difficult it can be to seek therapy and to find a therapist that whom you connect with. I applaud those who take the first step toward facing their issues and fears and hope that I am able to work with you to live your best life.

Anita Aasen
Hi. My name is Anita Aasen. I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 30 years experience. I work with individual, families and couples, I have learned that every journey is unique. Every journey has its trials. We all experience unexpected changes, difficulties and loss; whether it be a death, a marriage , a job or some other. We all experience anxiety in some degree. The pandemic has hit all of us hard. Therapy is a unique way to assist when you are ready to write the next chapter of your life's narrative. Specialties include grief work, stress reduction, self esteem, depression, anxiety and PTSD. I recently has obtained a certificate as. a Certified Grief Informed Professional. and have received a certificate as a Certified Advanced Grief Counseling Specialist . I have been trained in cognitive behavioral therapy and in mindfulness. I have worked as a substance abuse counselor and have an extensive knowledge of the 12 steps and "smart recovery" other recovery based programs.. I approach therapy uniquely as a chance to find the lessons in difficulties and the hidden strengths to be discovered and acknowledged. I believe there is therapeutic value in humor, finding gratitude in the small things, and enriching your spirituality. I believe in the resilience of the human spirit.
Tamra Zeller
I believe that that the value of therapy is having an objective person's eyes and ears on your struggles and that the process can help you move forward when you are feeling "stuck." Identifying your strengths and ideal solutions are part of a treatment plan that helps us stay focused and determine how effective therapy is in your life. Additionally, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy mode I use to discover what thoughts, feelings and belief systems are at play in feeling "stuck," and produces new ideas about approaching your issues. I am now very excited about implementing the use of a fairly new mode of therapy known as "ACT" that stands for "Acceptance and Commitment Therapy". People walk through this self-discovery process not because it's easy, but to feel better, lighter and more effective in navigating their lives. For the best therapeutic outcome, there needs to be trust and respect between the client and the therapist. I encourage any and all questions to see if we could be a good fit! I have recently decided to add to my bio by specifically letting potential clients know that most of my professional career as a therapist has been in working with sex offenders, their families and victims, as well as having expertise in domestic violence issues. Extreme/ toxic emotional abuse issues are becoming very common and there are now clearly defined cycles of those types of abuse. There seems to be a growing need for attention to these specific problems and a need for a professional who has a lot of experience in addressing these issues. It should also be noted that if someone is in need of sex offender therapy, they must have successfully completed a legally recognized program first. In my private time I enjoy growing organic gardens and cooking with the results, playing outdoors in every season- skiing, camping, hiking, kayaking, and love playing and hiking with my new dog (rescue), Blue. I look forward to meeting you and helping you to discover healthier and more authentic ways of relating to people, but especially ourselves.
Willie Johnson
Hello, my name is Willie Johnson, MSW, LCSW- Thank You for considering my services... I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in NV and Utah, with more than 30 years of experience helping individuals, couples, families, and groups address challenges including anger, trauma, attachment issues, depression, anxiety, panic attacks, and other mood disorders. One of the most important parts of healing is learning to distinguish your true identity from your thoughts, feelings, emotions, and physical experiences. You are not your body. You are not your feelings. You are not your emotions. While you experience these things, they do not define who you truly are. This idea led me to write about sadness in a new way — as something clever enough to manipulate us the way a pimp manipulates: through control, false promises, and emotional dependency. I explore this concept, along with practical tools for reclaiming your identity from it, in my books available at www.SadnessIsAPimp.com. I often recommend these resources to clients as a companion to our work together. Within our therapeutic relationship, you will learn to recognize and identify the emotional patterns and secondary responses that may be attempting to manipulate, control, or negatively shape your character and personality. Therapy is designed to help you release guilt, pain, trauma, and emotional burdens caused by harm done to you, harm done to others, or even harm you may have caused yourself. Our goal is not simply to cope with emotional struggles, but to work toward true healing and emotional freedom. Through self-reflection and therapeutic guidance, you can become more self-aware, challenge unhealthy thought patterns, and develop healthier ways of functioning in everyday life. I believe prioritizing your mental health is an investment in yourself and an active step toward healing. If you'd like to explore these ideas further outside of session, visit www.SadnessIsAPimp.com for my books and additional resources. Best Regards, Willie E. Johnson, LCSW --- "Four Stages To Your Emotional Health & Healing" 1. Love Everybody, 2. Forgive Everybody, 3. Respect Everybody, 4. Be Kind To Everybody & 5. Hold Everybody Accountable -- Starting With Yourself.

Find a therapist near you in Holden, Utah
Finding a therapist near you in Holden, Utah starts with matching to a licensed professional who fits your needs, schedule, and goals.

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.

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?
