Therapists in Ephraim, UT

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.

My clients are in search of a space to be encouraged and supported that feels authentic. Many of my clients have struggled to find a therapeutic space in which they feel accepted and at ease. I strive to provide a therapy space free of power differentials where my clients are empowered to verbalize their needs. This is your journey; you get to decide where we go and how we get there at whatever pace feels right to you.

My goal as a clinician is to develop a safe, honest, trusting relationship so that my clients can explore all parts of themselves without judgement. I use evidence based practices and draw on the therapeutic relationship to help my clients feel seen, heard, and understood in ways that can offer healing. My hope is to help my clients enjoy the healthy and nurturing relationships they are seeking, and to live a more whole, purposeful, and satisfying life. I work well with individuals and couples who are looking to get to the root of their challenges, and move past managing symptoms.

I am trained in the "Best-Practice" and "Evidence-Based" trauma modality, Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing. I enjoy treating people with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorders, Domestic Abuse, Panic, Phobia's and Mood Disorders. It is my goal to educate and equip all my clients with tools that will empower them to improve their mental health. I use traditional therapeutic techniques like :CBT, EMDR, Client-Centered, etc. but I also intertwine holistic approaches like: yoga, mineral oils, diet, exercise, meditation, etc. I look forward to meeting you and helping you through your path to peace, happiness and health.

Most of us have the ability and desire to change, but we need help discovering exactly how. Despite our best efforts, we often feel frustrated and in pain from the impact of experiences we don’t fully understand. I use a dynamic yet evidence-based approach to mental healthcare focused on identifying and realigning a person’s beliefs, thoughts, and behaviors. Retain what makes you significant, and support yourself with a more accurate sense of perception and the accompanying skills required to implement. I’m genuinely grateful to be doing my dream job. I have a deep affection for people and would be honored to work with you.

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 ever looked at your life and thought, “How did I get here?” Sometimes life feels hard, overwhelming, and chaotic. Maybe you just don’t know where to start or you feel lost. Maybe you’re embarrassed that you can’t handle things on your own or like you don’t know who to ask for help. Perhaps you're going through a rough patch or you're looking to improve your relationships with friends, family, or partner. Or, maybe your child is struggling with anger, sadness, or anxiety.

I believe the story you tell yourself about yourself and your relationships is far more meaningful and descriptive than a diagnosis or other label that may have been placed on you. My goal is to assist you in gaining clarity about that story, who you are and where you are in life – your aspirations, talents, skills, obligations, and needs – so you can move confidently into the future, staying connected to those you love and the things that bring you joy. Don’t be a victim of fear, insecurity, or disappointment – harness your natural abilities, virtues, and powers to be the hero of your life.

As a growing expert in trauma, mindfulness, and body-mind bridging across the lifespan, I will strive to assist you with your concerns. My approach is light-hearted and evidence informed. I often integrate cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectics, and psychodynamics into my education-based style. We will certainly work on attachment concerns and healthy "relating," too.

Reaching out for help is uncomfortable! Coming to therapy takes a lot of courage. The world feels heavy and hard right now. Our relationships are suffering leaving us feeling anxious, lonely, or depressed. You may feel like no matter how hard you try, you just can't seem to communicate with your partner or family members. Maybe discussions turn into arguments that never seem to get resolved, leaving you both feeling hurt and alone. Perhaps you or your loved one are dealing with a faith transition and you feel lost and confused. It's hard to love so much and yet feel so distant and disconnected!

Life is hard! No way around it. Many people are looking for change, peace, love, hope, or even a rekindling of old passions. I truly believe that we are capable of great things, relationships can be mended, goals can be accomplished, and new perspectives can be achieved. Having gone through many diverse experiences in my life I believe that I have the ability to empathize with what you're going through. In addition, my education, training, and experience has afforded me the knowledge and ability to assist you in finding the happy ending you are seeking.

As a licensed marriage and family therapist, I provide high quality outpatient mental health treatment to individuals, couples, and families who are suffering from a variety of presenting problems. By creating a safe environment, and providing seasoned therapeutic challenge, clients have the ability to identify, address, and resolve the problems which bring them to therapy. Most of my clients who have seen other therapists immediately identify how beneficial my unique approach to therapy can be. Please contact me via phone or email in order to setup an appointment.

I work with individuals who are seriously committed to living fully. My practice primarily focuses on sexual addiction. If you struggle with sexual addiction, you need someone who understands it, been through it and has a plan for you. That's me! When one has cancer, they turn to the specialists in cancer. It is crucial that you let those who specialize in this disease help you through the many moving parts. I understand this addiction - it's my passion to help as many people as possible! Many of my clients are impacted by sexual addiction - I get it, and I'm here to help you or a loved one through the storms. (www.taylorlyman.com)

Couples often long to feel close but get stuck in their problems. It can seem like there’s no way out of emotional conflicts, sexual difficulties, past mistakes in the relationship, or other issues. I believe in healing that gets to the root – healing that is deep, self-reflective, compassionate, honest, and real. I work with clients and their partners and family members to heal from difficult past experiences, trauma, and current conflicts toward brighter futures, stronger relationships, and a more secure sense of self.

Life can be difficult, presenting us with unanticipated obstacles that sometimes challenge our capacities to cope. Your decision to seek out a therapist is a courageous one and represents a significant personal step forward. I see therapy as a collaborative process to meet individuals where they are, so as to explore together what they want to get out of the therapeutic experience.

I believe in healing that gets to the root - the best healing happens when therapy involves compassionate, deep self-reflection and honest, real conversations in a safe environment. I work with clients and their partners and family members to heal from difficult past experiences and current conflicts toward brighter futures, stronger relationships, and a more secure sense of self.

I was born and raised in Las Vegas but relocated to Utah with my wife in 2014. I have spent most of my career as a business consultant and enjoy helping others simplify complex issues. After my own struggles, I realized that these skills could easily be transferred to individuals who had challenges in their personal lives. I am drawn to working with others who are overwhelmed by all the demands life places on them.

We’ve all experienced varying degrees of pain or trauma in our lives. Sometimes that pain, sadness or fear becomes debilitating and we find it difficult to function. You may know what is causing your distress (loss of job, end of a relationship, family problems) or you might have no idea why you’re struggling. Either way you may be feeling overwhelmed, discouraged, anxious, worried, angry or even confused. Things that have helped you in the past may no longer be working. That’s a good sign that you need some new coping skills and improved insight.
