Santa Clara has a rich history as a settlement founded by Swiss Mormons. Many Mormons settledthroughout Utah to escape persecution and found peaceful lives. Sometimes in life it is necessary to leave the old behind and strike out on a new journey to gain peace of mind and heart.

If you are finding your peace of mind compromised, it might be time to let go of the past to move on. Counselors in the Santa Clara area can help you identify that which does not serve you and help you find new skills and coping methods. Contact a therapist today.

Hello, I'm Steve Davis and I'm a Licensed therapist in Utah and Texas. I practice multiple modalities for therapy, making sure each client has a customized treatment route and plan for meeting their goals. My approach to providing therapy starts with you and what you want-and then a solution focused plan to get you there. This isn't the only way, however, and we can integrate multiple ways of mental health care into your life. Sometimes we know we don't feel right, but don't have all the pieces to know more-and that's where I come in. It's hard to take a snapshot of my past and current clients as they have very different needs and problems. I work most often with depression, anxiety, trauma-related disorders, family and relationship problems, but this is not the limit. If you are having trouble understanding your thoughts or feelings, we can work together with this too. I strive to create a welcoming atmosphere where there is empathy, accountability and consideration for each client. I associate and use analogies frequently so things don't feel or sound overly-clinical, and encourage laughter and humor to accentuate the experience. I want therapy to be a place to look forward to. A first session with me will consist of a lot of questions-but it won't feel like an interrogation. We can get started working right away, or I can take a more information-gathering role. Don't be afraid to tell me what you need.

For over two decades, I have dedicated my life to the art and science of therapy, committed to helping individuals navigate their personal challenges and achieve meaningful change. My journey began with a deep passion for understanding the human experience, which has since evolved into a multifaceted practice grounded in evidence-based modalities. Throughout my career, I have honed my skills in a variety of therapeutic approaches, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), ART, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Each of these modalities has equipped me to address complex trauma and equip my clients with the tools they need to heal and grow. My extensive experience in trauma-focused therapies has allowed me to create safe spaces where individuals can confront their pasts and build resilience for the future. A significant portion of my work has centered around substance abuse counseling, where I have spent 20 years developing my expertise in both group and individual settings. This work has not only deepened my understanding of addiction but has also reinforced the importance of community and connection in the recovery process. For the past 15 years, I have been on the front lines of crisis intervention, assisting individuals facing some of the most challenging moments of their lives. Together, we create tailored action plans that empower them to forge a path toward healing and stability. My practice is inclusive and diverse, having had the privilege of working with clients ranging from as young as five to adults in their sixties. I find particular joy in working with teenagers, helping them navigate the tumultuous landscape of adolescence, and providing support to women grappling with issues related to body image and weight management. My understanding of eating disorders and compulsive behaviors, including addictions to pornography, allows me to approach these sensitive topics with empathy and expertise. In my work, I strive to foster an environment where clients feel seen, heard, and validated. I believe that every individual’s story is unique, and I am here to walk alongside them as they uncover their strengths and develop strategies for overcoming obstacles. My commitment to ongoing professional development and self-reflection ensures that I remain at the forefront of therapeutic practices, continually enhancing my ability to support those I serve. As I reflect on my journey, I am grateful for the opportunity to contribute to the healing of others. My work as a therapist is not just a profession; it is a calling that brings me immense fulfillment and purpose.
