Therapists in Brigham City, UT

Have you ever felt ashamed? Ever felt like others don’t understand you, but say they do? Those have been my own experiences and have led me to work with people in recovery and their families, survivors of domestic violence/abuse, minority communities and teens. I come from a multi-cultural family with an immigrant parent which has both enriched my life and created unique struggles for me. These experiences, however, have helped me empathize with a wide variety of people and situations. My goals are to support my clients as they navigate their struggles and find hope and strength within themselves.

My practice is about creating and enhancing a meaningful life. Through a belief that our disturbances--about ourselves, others or life in general - lead us to the doorway of toward wholeness, we work together to unfold the seed of the solution from within the problems. Thus, I approach each client with a desire to follow and facilitate their unique healing process. Through deep compassion toward self, dreamwork and process work, I identify lesser conscious aspects of one's self, which we work together to bring into awareness. With this awareness one can find more meaning and a stronger purpose in life.

Celeste Wiggins is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). She holds a Master's Degree in Social Work from the University of Utah. She has worked in forensic, school-based, and private practice settings regarding issues of trauma, depression, anxiety, eating disorders, addiction, psychosis, autism spectrum related issues, and ADHD. Celeste has experience working with people of a wide range of ages, genders (or no genders), sexualities (or no sexualities), and races. She works from a client-centered, humanistic/transpersonal, queer-affirming, multiculturally humble, and attachment-based/relational framework.

I have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker since 2019, and I have experience supporting young adults and adults with concerns such as addictions, substance use disorders, depression, anxiety, life transitions, relationship/ family issues, and anger management. My ideal client would like to resolve these issues by empowering themselves to learn how to counter negative thoughts, regulate emotions, tolerate moments of distress, communicate effectively, and mindfully stay within the present moment. My ideal client would like to learn these skills in order to manifest their ideal life and be the best version of themselves.

I approach therapy with a nonjudgmental perspective and a curiosity to understand the unique experiences leading clients to therapy. I believe a strong, genuine connection and collaboration between therapist and client can not only be an opportunity to improve coping skills and process through trauma and other difficulties, but also a catalyst to improving access to experiences of joy and contentment in life. I support clients with their therapy goals whether returning or starting for the first time. Therapy is often a brave journey of exploring the parts of ourselves that we might avoid… feeling scared, sad, angry, confused.

Welcome to my practice! The world is changing in profound ways. I am here to help you navigate these new realities in your family, work and love relationships. My therapy style with both couples and individuals is warm, collaborative and nurturing. For couples, I will help guide you out of distress and back to loving connection, paying close attention to emotional intimacy, differences in sexual desire, chronic fighting, communication breakdowns and infidelity/betrayals. For individuals, I will help you find your way back from depression, anxiety, grief and relationship challenges. Let me help you grow and flourish.

I love working with clients (especially children, adolescents, and families!) from diverse backgrounds who are looking to find answers and solve any issues they may be struggling with. I am passionate about my work and believe in radical acceptance of all people. I am an LGBTQ+ affirmative psychologist. As a mother of five children, I understand many of the issues that families face and I strive to be a caring, upfront, and empathic psychologist who helps clients work toward achieving their goals. I also offer psychological testing.

As your therapist, my intention is to create a safe environment for you to be and explore yourself.  Together we'll bring awareness to your thoughts, feelings, emotions, body sensations, values, desires, memories and more, to deeply understand what its like for you to be you. Awareness opens the door for understanding, self-love, and change. To support your therapeutic journey, I use Transpersonal therapy, Gestalt therapy, Somatic-based trauma therapy, Process Work, CBT, dream work, inner child work, and shadow work. I specialize in LGBTQ+ affirming therapy and affirming letter writing.

Disclaimer: I am licensed in four states, therefore I'm unable to see everyone in person. I reside in Utah and consequently, I see others using telehealth. Even though I see people online, a connection is still possible. Try it, it may surprise you! Sometimes life is messy; it can be overwhelming and difficult to navigate on your own. That's why I do what I do! In a caring and compassionate way, I help you identify and overcome barriers to your happiness and well-being. Working together, we can explore effective ways to manage the complexities of life and develop coping strategies to better enable you to "enjoy the journey."

Do you want to be more connected, grounded, and present? Do you feel overwhelmed, burnt-out, or that you aren’t enough? Do you wish you could show up as your true self? Together we can embark on a journey of growth, self-discovery, and healing. I am passionate about working with: complex trauma, burnout, infertility, postpartum mental health, self-compassion, perfectionism, people pleasing, and other therapists/individuals in the helping professions. I believe that healing requires a multi-faceted approach that incorporates evidence-based therapy modalities and holistic techniques that encompass the mind, body, and spirit.

My treatment approach places an emphasis on the mind-body relationship and is both experiential and pragmatic. I specialize in the treatment of mood and behavior-related disorders as well as culture-based identity conflict. I work with families, adolescents, teens, and individuals to help them develop deeper connections to themselves, and stronger more fulfilling relationships with others, resulting in increased vitality, improved quality of life, and joy. I am honored to partner with you and your family on the journey towards restoration and growth.

I understand the importance of finding a therapist who makes you feel like they actually get you and truly care, and that it's not always easy to open up to someone new. This may be something that you have been thinking about doing for a long time, but for a variety of reasons you have put it off. Whatever has brought you here and whatever your prior experiences with therapy are, I am so excited and honored to get to be a part of this journey with you.

Life can be challenging, overwhelming, and stressful. Therapy can help by taking at your current life, history, perspectives, mistakes, and missteps, as there is great benefit in understanding that our past doesn’t have to define who you are today. Therapy can help you address the various struggles and challenges you experience, creating opportunities to understand yourself and your life better and become the ME you want to be. I work with you to help identify your goals; through compassionate understanding, support, and collaboration, we will work together to help you cultivate the life you want to live.

I take a client-centered approach, setting tailored goals so you are able to see observable weekly progress. My job is to support you in learning how to self-soothe, emotionally regulate, ultimately becoming your own therapist. We will process the conflict in your life and support you in making empowering choices for the future.

I can help you through your remarkable journey of healing. I use CBT, DBT, Experiential, EMDR, and other research-based approaches so you can start to experience progress quickly. I schedule appointments in the evenings and on weekends. I do telehealth appointments through a HIPAA compliant web program, it's easy to get it setup.

Unprocessed pain and emotional wounds can deepen over time and cause us to disconnect from ourselves and others. My purpose is to help individuals develop more authentic and secure relationships with themselves and others while experiencing hope, healing, and emotional growth. I help guide individuals through a process of self-discovery and provide tools to connect with inner strengths and resources that bring about emotional healing and personal growth. I am passionate about working with individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, suicidal ideations, and related issues.

Are you struggling with trauma, depression, anxiety, or other challenges that hold you back? You're not alone. I help individuals rewrite their narratives and find freedom from suffering.

I am a dedicated therapist with a passion for helping folks on their path to self-discovery and self-worth. I believe that true growth and healing occur in a safe and nurturing space where you have the ability to embrace your vulnerability. I’m committed to social justice, embracing feminist theory, and a systemic perspective. I am dedicated to decolonizing the traditional practices of mental health and ensuring my clients are met with culturally responsive care that respects and honors each client’s unique background and identity.

In a perfect world, we would all be assigned a therapist at birth, just as we are a pediatrician. Mental health is health, after all. Having a therapist to listen, affirm, encourage, and maybe even challenge you is incredibly healing. I don’t believe that clients necessarily ‘need’ therapy, but that they deserve excellent therapy. I have a passion for working with millennials and young adults. My professional experience in wilderness therapy also drives my interest in working with outdoor enthusiasts who have a history of trauma or mental health concerns.
