Therapists in Kanab, UT

I am licensed in Utah & Nevada. I see clients in both states through teletherapy & in person in Mesquite, NV. I enjoy working with a variety of populations such as elderly, children, adolescents, individuals, couples & families. I have experience in working with trauma, adoption & foster care, late adulthood transitions, cognitively challenged & autistic clients, domestic violence perpetrators and victims, addiction, grief, and more. What I have found is that those who come to therapy are the best experts for their situation and need a listening ear, a different perspective, and better tools for success in their life goals.

Life can be tough, full of challenges and it is not uncommon for life to unravel. Trauma and life stressors can be overwhelming but there is hope. It is possible to recover and resolve issues no matter how overwhelming they may seem. I want to help bridge the gap and bring healing to individuals, couples, and families who have been through or are going through a traumatic/stressful experience. You deserve to have a healthier, more balanced approach to your life and relationships.

Are you struggling in your current relationship? Do you sometimes feel frustrated with you spouse and helpless to change negative relationship patterns? Do you wonder at times if things can ever get back to the way they used to be? I can help. Call me to set up an appointment. I will listen carefully to your situation and together we will create goals for your relationship that will bring more happiness and peace into your life. I can offer proven solutions and sound advice to help you create the marriage you always wanted. Call me to schedule a consultation today.

Have you ever asked for help and been disappointed with the results? I won't stand for that. I am not interested in "doing" therapy, but rather, creating a transformative partnership with my patients that helps them to become something greater. What does that look like? Whatever a patient needs it to be. I am passionate about taking people who have capacity to be better and helping them to maximize it. If you aren't progressing, I will help you find someone who can help. I work with an amazing team, and we have a fit for you.

You are worth the investment! Some studies suggest that over 80% of all physical symptoms may have emotional or psychological roots. Sometimes anxiety and depression are just our body's way of letting us know a change is needed. If your relationships or life situations are causing you more distress than joy, therapy can help. We all experience pain, loss, and feelings of rejection. Although these feelings are normal, if neglected they can quickly become barriers to happiness and growth.

Each person has a unique story about how they came to be who they are and who they want to become. Sometimes people come to therapy with a clearly defined problem. Others aren’t quite sure why life is going the way that it is. Regardless of where people are on that continuum, I partner with my clients to explore what has brought them to this place and how we might create a new and better future. My goal is to create a space where people are emphatically heard, their strengths are validated, growth and breakthroughs are celebrated, and unhelpful patterns are transformed.

I love working with families and couples! I find working with couples rewarding, and I enjoy witnessing their combined and individual journeys throughout the therapy process. In addition, I have a passion for those who have experience with neurodiversity within their family and/or relational system—specifically, Autism and ADHD. Coming from experience, I feel there is a great need for mental health services for families, couples, parents, and individuals who go through the initial diagnosis process and challenging situations that may arise. Other areas I have experience in are eating disorders, faith transitions, and self-discovery.

I believe that every individual holds a unique and valuable story, a testament to their resilience and capacity for healing. Life's journey is rich with experiences, marked by transitions, transformations, and sometimes, traumas that shape our identity and influence our interactions with the world and those around us.

Whittney is a Marriage and Family Therapist Intern (MFTi). She has completed a bachelor's degree in Family Science from Utah Valley University, and she is currently attending Utah Tech University's Marriage and Family Therapy master's program. Whittney has certifications in domestic violence, psychological first aid (PFA), drug addiction (SBIRT), skills for psychological recovery (SPR), trauma-focused treatment (TF-CBT, CCTS), and others.

Do you pretend everything is okay but inside your thoughts are spiraling and it feels like you’re barely holding things together? Do you exhaust yourself trying to get everything right and taking care of everyone else? The thought of saying no or someone being upset with you may leave you feeling panicked and anxious. You are probably tired of analyzing conversations and guessing what people think about you. You don't want to be in survival mode anymore. You want to feel more in control and feel okay being you. You want to know you'll be okay even when things are hard. You're in the right place.

My preferred approach with clients comes from my own experience in what really works to heal, recover, and create change. As cliché as it is, I truly believe that “we’ve got to feel it to heal it.” My approach is experiential - and emotion and attachment-focused. This really just means I think some of the best healing happens in our connection with others, starting with working on our relationship with ourselves. I also use curiosity, compassion, and an understanding that every situation is unique to create a personalized approach.

Do you find yourself at a crossroads in life where you feel anxious, depressed, frustrated or lacking in some way? If you are coping in ineffective ways, or are feeling stretched too thin, I am here to help you. I know how to get through the layers of pain or numbing to get to that underneath layer where healing can take place. I will guide you through this healing process at a safe and comfortable pace while supporting you where you are today. You will learn tools to overcome anxiety, and manage your emotional reaction from trauma and abuse. At times the trauma can hold you back from living authentically and accepting yourself now.

I specialize in helping couples and families improve their relationships through improved communication, building family traditions, establishing healthy boundaries, and building unity. I also specialize in treating adolescent anxiety, depression, self-harm, suicidal ideation, mission preparation, and post-mission treatment.
