Therapists in Layton, UT

My name is April Garcia, I am a therapist that provides Telehealth services in both English and Spanish. I am a firm believer that therapy is for everyone, and we should all experience therapy at least once in our lives. Why? Because therapy provides a safe place to express ourselves and heal. It is a way to bring forward the traumas that sometimes we try to bury down and keep hidden, it is a way to understand ourselves and those around us better, and also a way to become the best version of us we can be.

I am a trauma informed therapist specializing in treatment for PTSD and other trauma related issues. I am passionate about working with first responders. I enjoy helping my clients develop a deeper understanding of themselves as they learn to honor their energy and thresholds. I also love guiding my clients into identifying what their root cause(s) is/are for their current struggles. I am direct in my approach in that I'm not afraid to address the elephant in the room. I welcome discomfort during the healing process as it coincides with growth and change.

I find a significant importance in helping individuals of any kind identify their worth. Everyone deserves to feel and be their best selves. My goal is to help my clients instill the hope that they have the capability of getting to that point. Shame, guilt, negative self-talk, and trauma are some of the many barriers that prevent us from living to our full potential. When someone is ready and willing to add to their self-care tool belt, it provides an opportunity to heal from their adversities and strengthen their love for the self.

Having a therapist who is willing to sit with a client’s discomfort and uplift their spirit can make a world of difference. I work with children and adolescents to foster growth in being emotionally resilient and be able to live fulfilling lives. Therapy for children and adolescents should be both fun and helpful. I sprinkle games and relationship building activities throughout my sessions, so time spent is enjoyable. As your therapist, I will use evidence-based treatments to support your family’s natural strengths in creating the change you want.

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.

Life is hard. We do the best we can to solve our problems with the knowledge we have. But sometimes we find ourselves in a difficult spot where we need fresh perspectives and new thinking tools to help us deal with our problems in a healthier way. That is the benefit of counseling. In a safe and affirming environment, I help my clients find solutions to problems that are solvable, learn to better cope with those that are unsolvable, and discover deeper joy and meaning in life.

My name is Erika Behunin. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I am passionate about helping women heal their relationship with themselves and others, enhance their emotional and mental well-being and move forward in the direction of their dreams. I believe that the first step towards healing is becoming conscious to oneself. Becoming aware to the connection of your experiences, thoughts, emotions and behaviors can be life-changing.

"It is not uncommon to feel alone in our challenges, I believe it is important for us to feel that we are Not alone." I love the opportunity to help those individuals and their family members who are ready for change, whether that be in day to day living, problem solving, thinking patterns, relationships, resurfacing memories, repetitive behaviors, anger or mood imbalance. I have been a practicing therapist since 2004 and have treated multiple types of anxiety, depression, trauma, attachment issues, abuse/neglect, PTSD and other mood and behavioral disorders. I also work with first responders and veterans.

I can help you navigate the unique challenges/barriers you may be facing in Utah. I will proudly advocate for you and support your emotional well-being.

I am passionate about breaking down the stigmas surrounding mental health. So often we find ourselves with negative thoughts and beliefs about ourselves, others, or the world around us that hold us back from understanding or seeing who we really are and what we can become. I seek to help individuals break down their negative and distorted thinking so they can see themselves and the world around them in a more healthy and positive way. I enjoy working with young adults and older teenagers who struggle with a range of anxiety, depression, and negative views of self.

For individuals; trauma, betrayal trauma, depression, and anxiety can be a thing of the past. Come in and find a safe and caring place.

Individual, Couple, Family, & Child Therapy. Effective therapy starts with effective assessment. The greater my understanding of the family challenges/presenting problem the more likely I will be able to help the family/couple/individual find greater success and happiness. I understand that clients are often feeling desperate and hopeless so my goal for a first session is to build hope and begin to offer researched based interventions and ideas that work! Short term, effective, enjoyable therapy services is my goal as a therapist. Most clients report after a first appointment that they feel at ease with my gentle, kind, and supportive approach.

Therapy is: Creating desired changes which improve our lives. My goal is to help identify the obstacles which are impeding your happiness and assist you in making changes that will bring a greater level of joy and fulfillment to your life. People enjoy my warm, easy going, supportive nature as they work through life's struggles. Clients progress as they overcome fears, anxiety, depression, ADHD, OCD, addictions, relationship problems, old/new emotional wounds. Success in treatment comes as the barriers to my client's "desired life" fall, one by one, and they become independently prepared for new functioning in life.

I began clinical work with individuals, couples, and families in 2000, and have developed a strong interest in four areas: (1) core principles of healing, growth, and success in our efforts to change, (2) character strengths and virtues central to any "good" we create in ourselves and with others, (3) the inevitability of "relationship" in daily living - the "what" and "how" of it, and (4) the reality that clients are the gatekeepers of change and true heroes in their own success stories! I have learned that addressing our problems ultimately involves drawing on our strengths and the best that lies within us and our relationships!

Life is beautiful and we are capable of exploring all aspects of it: the good and the difficult. Both things are necessary to become a strong and better "us"! Though there is so much good, life also comes with unanticipated 'rocks in our backpack'. This can leave us confused, hurt, and feeling displaced. Effective therapy is about several factors: experience, client healing, a clear diagnosis, concise and appropriate goals, and the tools needed to effectively navigate difficulty along the journey of life. We love what we do and we are good at it! Visit us at GOLDWELLNESS.COM

I believe that we all hold our truth and answers within and that we deserve space and support to understand ourselves and overcome our pain and insecurities. In a nurturing and safe environment, we can heal from hurt, and grow into our best selves.

I believe that feeling connected and safe are the first steps toward meaningful change. In my practice, I strive to provide a non-judgmental and supportive environment where individuals can explore things with freedom, develop a deeper understanding and love for themselves and find ways to live their lives in the direction of their chosen values. I enjoy working with teenagers and adults who experience a variety of mental health challenges, including anxiety, trauma, grief, life transitions, chronic shame, and issues related to racial and ethnic identity.
