Therapists in Cache County, UT

Everyone experiences rough patches at some point in their life. During these difficult times it is hard to remember the good parts of one's self or of one's relationships. My goal in therapy is to provide a safe, nonjudgmental place to explore and discover the strength and insight one needs to heal and find joy. I know seeking help in tough times takes an amazing amount of courage. This is a journey that I am honored to accompany you on.

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.

We all experience pain and search for healing. This can be overwhelming to us and we can experience a lack of control or hope for the future. Our relationship with ourselves is often impacted, hurt, and internalized through our unbearable ​experiences of early life relationships. This can leave us feeling isolated and fearful to engage fully in life and with others. We often create subconscious strategies for managing this pain in search of safety and meaning. As we grow, many ​of the ways that we learned to cope with what was once unbearable begin to feel burdensome and overwhelming and we find ourselves needing something new.

Typical clients include those who have an abuse history. This history can range from physical, sexual or emotional abuse. Many clients experience nightmares, loss of appetite and pleasure, relationship disturbance and high levels of anxiety and depression.

It’s hard to find a counselor with openings & even harder to find a highly trained psychotherapist with openings. If you’re reading this, I have openings. The patients that I see have often been to other practitioners in the field & did not get the help they needed. By & large, my patients get better. Here’s how: 1) specialized training+ that helped me understand why we are the way we are & what to do about it 2) 15 years experience with relationship/ mood problems, dissociative disorders, or personality disorders - I can walk you through a divorce or help you through a psychotic episode 3) thoughtful/ progressive continual learning

I'm a firm believer that mental health care is for everyone, no matter what obstacles you're facing. It's my goal to normalize mental health care for all people. Just as you see a doctor multiple times per year, whether you're ill or not, proactive health care is crucial for a healthy, balanced life; the same goes for your mental health. My ideal client is any human being interested in navigating the rivers of their life, no matter the challenge(s) you're facing. My goal is to help you identify and explore your entire and true self. Together, we'll explore your past/present/future to navigate any/all issues and set realistic goals.

Have you struggled with feeling good about yourself? How does your perception of yourself impact your life? Each of us have lived experiences that leave imprints on our lives sometimes impacting our ability to trust, and connect with ourselves and those around us. I aim to foster a space in therapy that invites room for curiosity, safety, and also bravery in order to encourage---growth, self-discovery and healing. I work with both young adults and adults who are experiencing never feeling enough, or have experienced: trauma, self-harming behaviors, eating disorders, body perception issues, perfectionism and negative self-perception.

Hello! I am Marcia Light, I have intensely worked as a counselor helping clients to gain more clarity and reveling their own strengths and potential. My clients learn strategies to accomplish their goals and achieve overall well-being. Yeah, life can be distressing, emotions can get on the way and sometimes we can feel stuck and overwhelmed in negative patterns of thinking, feeling, or behaving.

The relationship between a therapist and client is one of the most important parts of the therapeutic process. I try to create an environment of safety and trust through a caring and supportive therapeutic relationship, giving empathetic feedback and an outside perspective. I work with people with depression, anxiety, panic attacks, OCD, PTSD, substance abuse, dysfunctional family relationships, boundary setting problems, spiritual transition, LGBTQ + or cultural trauma, career transition (and many others). Please call or email me today and we can begin the work of healing by processing through thoughts, behaviors, and feelings.

I specialize in treating PTSD, mood, anxiety, and attachment disorders . While I specialize in working with children, I have worked extensively with traumatized teens and adults. I often use EMDR with IFS (Internal Family System) along with somatosensory techniques for those patients with complex PTSD. I also target anxiety disorders (e.g., phobias) with EMDR. For children I often use EMDR or/and TF-CBT with Play and Sand Therapy. I have found sand therapy, helpful with individuals of all ages. Other therapies I regularly use in developing a treatment plan include CPP, PCIT, Theraplay activities, and CBT.

If you have hit a wall in your relationships, with your health, or are struggling with past trauma and self worth, it's time to collaborate with a caring provider who can help transform the heaviness that interferes with your sense of purpose and connection. Using your insight into yourself and my insight into psychology and wellness, we will work together to identify the patterns that perpetuate pain and stagnation, shifting you toward healing emotional wounds, and creating powerful strategies for recovery. Serious depression, anxiety, the breakdown of relationships or individual health, call for heart centered attention.

In 30+ years as a couples therapist, I've helped many couples work through problems to create the kind of partnership they truly want. Most couples tell me that they want to feel connected with their partner again; to stop the 'same old arguments' from cycling over and over; to stop living like roommates; to end the painful silences; to feel heard and understood; and to feel hopeful, and happy again.

We are an inclusive, somatic, neurodiverse, trauma informed, and sensitive therapy practice nestled in the Liberty Wells area of Salt Lake City, Utah working with couples, adolescents, and adults.

I appreciate the complexity of people. I believe in trying to understand all aspects in someone's life and recognizing the impact of their experiences, relationships, and understandings into the current way of life. There are reasons for certain beliefs about ourselves and others. I utilize my training and my own self in helping a client come to witness ideas and behaviors within themselves And then, find ways to make changes, find balance, and maybe even happiness.

I use a holistic person-centered approach and believe each individual has the ability to find the answers within. I view therapy as a place to explore the different parts of self that contribute to the whole of a person. I love helping others find the places within that feel blocked or stuck and help them address what is needed to help clients move forward with renewed hope. I believe as one begins the healing journey they will become more in tune with mind, body, spirit connection and can tap into their unique strengths to create a life with meaning and happiness.

I provide supervision to clinicians working towards complete licensure. Please inquire for a consultation and fees.

Change is possible if you have a desire to learn and apply the skills and knowledge you will acquire through participating in therapy.
