Dr. Manuel Evangelista
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker(LCSW) in Utah and my practice is grounded in the synthesis of social, biological, and psychological theories. I provide individual, group, and family therapy integrating psychodynamic and humanistic approaches with the transformative healing methods and spirituality to adults age 19 to 69 years old. My goal in therapy is to move my patients beyond symptom reduction to the achievement of balance in the physical, emotional and, spiritual dimensions. My style of helping is reflective of eastern healing traditions and western neuroscience. While most approaches to mental health treatments are focused on changing distressing events and experiences, my emphasis is on accepting, finding meaning, and tolerating distress. A trauma survivor myself, I came to view pain and distress as part of the human experience that cannot be entirely avoided or removed. The inability to accept this immutable fact itself leads to increased pain and suffering. A Zen practitioner and mindfulness teacher I have both graduate and postgraduate education in social work and counseling. I am also trained in psychotropic medication and can work with your prescriber. Through the many years of clinical work and advocacy, I've learned to embody a warrior-like woundedness and the courage to sit down and listen. Come in.

Tucker Reynolds
ACT-Based Therapy for Stress, Trauma & High-Pressure Lives If you’re carrying stress, anger, pressure, or responsibility that no one else sees — you’re not alone. Many high-functioning adults learn to push through anxiety, trauma, burnout, or depression without slowing down. Over time, that strategy stops working. I’m Tucker, a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor based in Utah. I work primarily with adults navigating chronic stress, trauma, anger, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and major life transitions. As a combat veteran, I understand high-pressure environments and the cost of staying in “performance mode” too long. My approach is grounded in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and trauma-informed care. ACT focuses on building psychological flexibility — the ability to face difficult thoughts and emotions without being controlled by them. We don’t pretend pain isn’t there. We work on strengthening your capacity to handle it while moving forward with intention. In therapy, we focus on: • Reducing overthinking and emotional reactivity • Managing anger and stress effectively • Breaking avoidance patterns • Clarifying personal values • Taking disciplined, values-based action My style is steady, direct, and practical. We address what’s underneath the surface without losing focus on forward movement. Therapy is collaborative, structured, and geared toward measurable progress. I am nationally board-certified (NCC, CCMHC) and trained in CAMS for suicide risk assessment and management. If you’re looking for grounded, honest work that builds resilience without ignoring reality, I’d be glad to work with you.
Heather Ross
I am licensed in Utah with 8 years of professional work experience, while I’ve worked in the mental health industry for 12 years (inpatient treatment for youth, inpatient treatment for adults, CPS, foster care, DV shelter, and in home services for people with disabilities). I specialize in working with teens and adults navigating addiction, depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma, body image, perfectionism, attachment challenges, and LGBTQIA-related issues, disordered eating, coping with grief, & coping with loss. I also have experience working with clients who have dual diagnosis, autism, personality disorders, OCD, BPD, Bipolar, and ODD. Finding the right therapist is an important first step toward healing—and I believe that the most effective therapy begins with a strong, trusting relationship. My approach is identity-centered and grounded in compassion, presence, and genuine understanding. My role is to help you reconnect with that inner wisdom—serving as a sounding board, offering support, and holding space for self-discovery and growth. In addition to traditional talk therapy, I am trained in Brainspotting—a powerful, neuroscience-based modality that can help process trauma more deeply and efficiently. Many of my clients have found Brainspotting to be transformative, especially when other approaches haven’t gone far enough.
