Tamra Priestley
Hi, there! My name is Tamra Priestley and I am a clinical mental health counselor (CMHC) living in Utah. I am also a Life Coach, specializing in the essentials of self-mastery, and relationships. It is my passion to help people have successful relationships, first with themselves, and then with others. It has been a joy to help those who are seeking to learn skills necessary for successful relationships! Most people just don’t know how! I have also been privileged to help many individuals overcome the devastating effects of anxiety and depression. I experienced this devastation myself and no longer suffer from those emotions. I want to help you learn how to live more peaceful, productive, and happy lives. I have also worked with many individuals who have experienced pain from trauma and abuse in all the ways that can happen. This leads to lack of motivation, poor self-esteem, lack of confidence, depression and anxiety. Trauma and abuse may affect every part of your life until healing occurs. I want to help you heal those parts of your past. My experience includes working in three private practices (now my own) and for a company providing services to their employees, including first responders and law enforcement and their families. I have worked with the elderly experiencing end-of-life issues. I love working with people from all walks of life. Each person is so important! Drawing from my own experiences as a single parent, a son who has several challenges, adoption, divorce, abuse, and many other experiences helps me to utilize my professional training in a way that is personal and effective. I believe in homework that helps you grow beyond the sessions. I welcome the opportunity to help you in your current challenges to find meaning and purpose, learn new skills, and experience a healed and happier life!

Take a deep breath and know you are no longer alone! I am here to help. I am a therapist with over 20 years of counseling experience. My goal is to help you feel supported in whatever you may be struggling with in your life. I am laid back, trustworthy and easy to talk to. There is no judgement. I only hope you will allow me into your space. I use a client centered, humanistic approach, while keeping careful consideration of cultural concerns and practices. I have experience working with substance abuse, addiction, anxiety, depression, trauma-related life challenges and other life experiences.

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.

I offer individual therapy and draw from my extensive experience as a social worker in the public sector where I worked with Drug Court, Juvenile Courts and Juvenile Justice Services.

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.

Mary Sanders
My name is Mary 'Beth' Fisher Sanders and I go by 'Beth Sanders'. I have practiced for over 30 years and am a licensed clinical social worker with certifications that reflect extensive background in addictions and other mental health issues. I have also worked for most of my career with a focus on families and couples. My approach is relational. There are as many approaches to therapy as there are therapists - if we align to work together my role is to empower you to reach your goals, to help you identify the assets and barriers to doing so, and perhaps teach some healthy coping and communication strategies as well. I consider the journey to self awareness and understanding a sacred journey, and one that is vital for desired change. Time is a precious commodity, and I will challenge you to maximize yours to achieve desired results. Additionally, it is a process that I myself continue to do, so be assured that there is nothing that I will ask you to do that I have not done myself. While I do not claim to be a religiously based therapist, please know that there is a spiritual foundation in my approach and I will meet you whereever you are in your spirituality, whatever that means to you. I consider it a great honor to know the deepest parts of those that I walk and work with, and will help you lift up and strengthen the best parts of you.

I support my clients through mindfulness-based practices such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and value work. I also have a passion for working with clients with ADHD, helping make life work for them instead of them working for life. Change can be hard, but if you're ready, let's chat and see if I can help.

Find a therapist near you in Hooper, Utah
Finding a therapist near you in Hooper, 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.

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.

Both formats can support meaningful progress, so the right choice often comes down to what fits your life.
