Therapists in Perry, UT
Located in the Bear River Valley, Perry Utah, has one of the most beautiful mountain views in the country. Settled by Mormon pioneers looking for a place to practice their religion peacefully, Perry was once known as Welsh Settlement. Many of these immigrants from Wales struggled to restart their lives in Utah. Lack of water was a significant problem for many years, even though mountain springs were nearby.
Although few of us struggle with needing basic necessities like water these days, there are times when overcoming everyday problems can feel like moving mountains. You don’t have to try to conquer your valleys and foothills alone. There are certified mental health specialists in the Perry area who are ready and willing to assist you today.

Welcome!! My name is Shannon LaTray, and I am a licensed clinical counseling professional in Montana, Utah, Maine, the District of Columbia, Oregon, New Jersey, and Massachusetts. I have experience working therapeutically with youth, teens, adults, and families regarding mental health and addiction issues. My approach to therapy is holistic and patient-centered, focusing on treating the whole person rather than just specific symptoms. I believe in addressing the physical, emotional, social, and spiritual aspects of a person's life to promote overall well-being. I also prioritize the individual needs and preferences of each patient, tailoring the therapy experience to their unique circumstances and goals. This dynamic approach allows for a more personalized and effective therapeutic experience. Additionally, I am a certified Gracious Space Trainer. My Approach... In my work, I commonly use a combination of several theoretical approaches, including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy, and humanistic therapy. I find that integrating elements from these different approaches allows me to address a wide range of client needs and preferences. CBT helps to identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors. Psychodynamic therapy explores unconscious processes and past experiences, and humanistic therapy emphasizes empathy, authenticity, and the client's subjective experience. By drawing from these different theoretical approaches, I strive to provide comprehensive and effective therapy tailored to each individual. My Focus... I typically work with a diverse range of clients, including individuals dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, life transitions, and self-esteem concerns. I have a strong background in helping clients navigate divorce and relationship challenges, career changes, and significant life adjustments individually and as couples. Overall, I am committed to supporting and guiding clients facing various challenges. My Communication Style... I strive to create a warm, empathetic, and nonjudgmental environment for my clients. I want my clients to feel safe, supported, and heard during our sessions. I aim to foster an atmosphere of trust and openness where clients feel comfortable expressing their thoughts and emotions. Working with me, clients often describe feeling understood, validated, and empowered to work through their challenges. I seek to provide a sense of calm and reassurance while also encouraging growth and self-discovery. In addition, I challenge clients to consider alternative perspectives and mindsets and to actively participate in finding solutions to their identified concerns. I believe in empowering clients to explore different ways of thinking and to take an active role in their own journey toward resolution and personal growth. By fostering a collaborative approach, I aim to help clients develop a deeper understanding of themselves and their situations while working towards positive outcomes. My journey to Mental Healthcare... My counseling journey has been incredibly rewarding and fulfilling. I have had the privilege of working with diverse clients, each with their own unique experiences and challenges. Reflecting on my 20-year journey in mental healthcare, including over 8.5 years as a licensed professional, I value the diverse experiences I have gained. From implementing a mental health intake program in a men’s state prison to promoting a patient-centered care model at the Montana State Hospital, I have learned the significance of effective systems and teamwork. At a residential treatment facility for substance abuse, I developed a program that encouraged shared experiences and empowerment among participants and a team centered approach to support staff. I have supported clients aged 2 to 82, focusing on building meaningful connections through individual sessions, couples counseling, and group therapy. I focus on building deep, meaningful connections that uplift and empower individuals as they navigate their paths toward healing and wellness. I am excited about the opportunities ahead to continue fostering growth and resilience in those I serve. My goals for you... When approaching goal setting with my clients, I believe in taking a collaborative and client-centered approach. I work with my clients to identify their individual needs, values, and aspirations. Together, we establish realistic, measurable, and meaningful goals that align with their personal growth and well-being. I encourage clients to participate actively in the goal-setting process, ensuring that their aspirations and desires are at the forefront. Additionally, I support clients in breaking down larger goals into manageable steps, providing them with the tools and guidance needed to track their progress and celebrate their achievements along the way. My first session with you... During the first session, clients can expect a welcoming and supportive atmosphere where they are encouraged to share their concerns, experiences, and goals. I aim to establish a strong rapport with clients, actively listen to their stories, and gain a thorough understanding of their unique perspectives and needs. Additionally, I provide an overview of the counseling process, discuss confidentiality and the client-counselor relationship, and answer any questions or concerns the client may have. Together, we begin the process of exploring their challenges, identifying goals, and laying the foundation for our work together. Overall, clients can expect a compassionate and collaborative approach as we embark on their journey towards growth and healing.

Working together we can transform any obstacles that are present in your life into opportunities. I listen to what is said and what is not said. I am able to show others what they are not able to see on their own right now, and tell them what is critical and would be useful to create the results they are looking to achieve. I value who you are and where you want to go in life. I empower others to reach and develop a higher level of performance in their lives that they usually were not even aware was possible. I specialize in high-stress, high-stakes scenarios and the individuals who are determined to master them. The individuals I work with can count on me to be reliable and to work with them on creating the best life possible for themselves, working through the situations that are causing pain in their lives. I am skilled in CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), Solution Focused Therapy, Client Centered Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, along with DBT skills as needed. I am also trained and experienced in the Parts and Memory Therapeutic modality. I help people examine their past and current relationships from a different perspective to see how their life has been impacted through their choices and behaviors. As both a therapist and life coach I am well acquainted with the importance of learning what problems and challenges are present and how to effectively create a foundation to move forward in creating a powerful, joyful life. I acknowledge and honor people exactly where they are, in that current space, and hold space for them to grow and improve to where they desire to be. All of you, all parts of you, are welcome here with me. I love, honor and respect each and every person I come in contact with. I truly care for people that I work with.
