Therapists in Provo, UT

There is a pathway forward through the distress of disconnection, grief and loss, faith transitions, and anxiety. Transforming painful feelings and meeting unmet needs occurs through creating connections and emotional processing. Therapy is tailored to your specific goals and needs: deepening relational connection, working through anxiety, overcoming addictions, processing grief/loss, faith transitions, emotional challenges, or engaging in family therapy. Creating a validating and respectful therapeutic experience is central to inviting growth and change.

I'm Makayla, a LAMFT with expertise in helping couples build stronger relationships and creating inclusive spaces for LGBTQIA+ individuals. Using a combination of Gottman Couples Therapy and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), I help couples cultivate trust, improve communication, and strengthen their emotional bond. Whether you're navigating conflicts, seeking premarital counseling, or wanting to reignite the spark, I provide a supportive and collaborative environment for enhancing your connection.

Experiencing deep hurt, frustration, or loneliness in your marriage can feel like your whole world is collapsing. As a therapist, I am here to meet you and your partner where you are without judgment. I empower you to bravely explore uncomfortable emotions within your relationship, understand your own internal worlds, and show up in authentic and connecting ways. This can be hard–as it requires vulnerability, honesty, and practice–but I believe in you! Some of the greatest hope and healing I have witnessed transpire between partners in the therapy room.

I believe that humans are wired for meaning, connection, and belonging. Most of our struggles in life are intimately tied to how we experience our relationships—including with ourselves—and how we find purpose. Through a unique integration of Western and Eastern principles of human thriving, I support individuals and couples seeking emotional, sexual, and spiritual wholeness, as well as deeper healing and intimacy in their relationships with themselves and others. As awareness precedes power, my goal is to help clients increase in self-understanding so they feel empowered to then address personal difficulties on their own terms.

Hey there! I'm Annie Bryner. As a clinician, I treat the whole person. As a sex therapist, I help my clients have a healthy, positive relationship with sex. I promise to make you comfortable about areas that have caused you discomfort. You are not flawed or broken. As a trauma therapist, it is important to me to understand what trauma you have experienced in your life that may be causing your depression, anxiety, anger, or pain. My main treatment modalities are Brainspotting and EMDR. With these therapies, even severe symptoms of PTSD can be treated and hope can be found.

Our typical clients are those with issues of sexual dysfunction. This includes those with issues of sexual desire, arousal, orgasm, pain, satisfaction, or out-of-control sexual behavior/addiction. Most of my clients are from a conservative religious background, but this is not a must. We see clients that have a range of personal beliefs and values. We meet regularly with individuals and couples. Meeting as a couple is not a must. Individuals dealing with sexual dysfunction or out-of-control sexual behavior/addiction that are not in a committed relationship are also welcomed in treatment. We also have a Spanish speaking therapist.

Many people feel unhappy and disconnected from themselves and the people they love. If you are wondering if there is anything you can do to strengthen yourself and your relationships, there are answers. New coping skills can help you see yourself and your relationships differently, new brain techniques can help resolve old traumas, and current research can bring understanding. It's never too late to look at your life differently and change what's happening in your world.

Hi! I am a bisexual, cisgender woman and love to CELEBRATE my queer community! My goal as a therapist is to help clients find healing from within to become empowered to make changes in their external world. My approach includes an element of play and/or art, to help clients have new emotional experiences through the therapeutic approaches of Internal Family Systems and Emotionally Focused Therapy.

I care very deeply, and I work hard to create a safe space in therapy where you feel heard and a part of the change process. My person-centered and trauma-informed approach to therapy allows me to adapt to your specific needs in the therapeutic space.

We cannot go through this life alone. I believe positive, warm, and honest relationships are vital for navigating the challenges of life. My goal is to help you learn how to foster these types of relationships, as well as work through any obstacles that prevent you from having the relationships you want. Working with couples and families is of particular interest to me due to my graduate training which heavily focused on relationship therapy.

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.

I have experience working with premarital and newlywed couples, anxiety, depression, LGBTQ+ issues, transitional periods, betrayal and more. I strive to understand people within their context from a systemic perspective. In therapy, I recognize that while some things require change, others simply require acceptance. My hope is to work with you to increase compassion and connection in all aspects of life. We all need help sometimes, and sometimes just getting a little bit of help makes all the difference. I'm here to help individuals, couples, and families from systemic, emotionally focused, acceptance based perspectives.

Are you struggling with a sexual health or relationship challenge that is interacting unhelpfully with your current or past faith commitments or worldview? I specialize in helping individuals and couples meet their relationship needs and promote their sexual health. I have a particular interest in working on these issues with individuals who currently or historically have a relationship with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Many of my clients have worked through sexual shame, conflict, and dysfunction and have vastly improved the quality of their most important relationships.

After spending a year serving amazing people, I am restarting my practice and have immediate availability. I am passionate about helping individuals and couples find purpose in life. My experience working with incredible people over the last 18 years has shown that fulfillment in life comes with understanding and belief in yourself. Whether it is addiction, trauma, relationship issues or simply adjusting to life as a young adult, there is a rewarding path to success. The forces of anxiety, depression or whatever hurdle you feel controls you can be powerfully managed through our building on your strengths together.

You know that space of feeling stuck between where you are currently and where you want to be? I love that messy, terrifying, and beautiful space. Even more, I love helping people navigate that space on their journey to more authenticity and joy. In my person-centered approach, I join you where you are now and bring various therapeutic strategies to assist you in moving toward your goals and the life you want.

Therapy is akin to walking on sacred ground. I am passionate about helping clients achieve personal wholeness and the loving connections that they long for. As a sex therapist, I am especially enthusiastic about helping couples create "sextraordinary" marriages!

As founder of "The Marital Intimacy Institute," I look forward to working with you online or in person at my Utah office.

Your relationship with your spouse is unlike any other. That one person is in a unique position of intimacy that allows them to truly love you or sometimes, to deeply hurt you. For you, the hurt in your relationship could feel like an exhausting cycle, or being stuck, or a deep disappointment. The good news is that couples therapists today have decades of research to draw from. The work of the Gottman Institute or the Hendrix Imago program show what makes a happy, healthy relationship. As a marriage and family therapist, I help my clients experience more of the good stuff.
