Therapists in Saint George, UT

From trauma to communication, every relationship has challenges which might also include issues with pornography, personality, communication, work-related stress, sexual dysfunction, feeling like you’re living with a roommate, or coming to terms with an affair. These issues are overwhelming and difficult to overcome resulting in unsafe communication. Using the best available therapies, I offer a safe therapeutic relationship full of empathy and compassion to help heal the pain

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 value creating an affirming, brave space with adults who have experienced chronic, complex stress and traumas, such as sexual and domestic abuse, religious trauma/LDS faith transitions, attachment and intergenerational trauma, and discrimination and oppression. The residues of these experiences can leave us stuck in perfectionism, people pleasing, depression, anxiety, and disconnection from ourselves and the world. I know the importance of finding a good fit with a therapist with whom you can feel both connected to and challenged by, who will respect you as a whole human, and who will bring a collaborative approach to therapy.

I am passionate about providing quality mental health treatment to individuals, couples, and families using a trauma informed approach. I have found in my clinical experience that many sources of wounding, disconnect, and suffering in relationships are connected to attachment injuries and trauma. Such experiences can leave us feeling anxious, confused, angry, stuck, and isolated. My belief is that therapy is a an important tool to regaining as well as reclaiming meaning and purpose in our lives.

“You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.” I always tell my clients that if they take anything away from therapy, let it be to know that no relationship is more important than the relationship you have with yourself. With this mindset, I become an ally to help my clients set goals and address various issues while building self love, empowerment and compassion. I work well with client that are ready to do the hard work of therapy and I do everything in my power to make sure they know how strong and supported they are for doing doing this. Therapy isn't easy and together we got this!

My name is Jessica Stone. I have Bachelor of Arts degree in psychology and a Bachelor of Science in human services. I then obtained my master’s degree in Dance Movement Therapy and Counseling from Antioch University New England. I am a Board Certified-Dance Movement Therapist. I love reconnecting the mind and body and integrating movement into therapy. After all, movement is change and change is movement. My focus is supporting individuals and their families in offering, accessing, and receiving the best mental health care possible.

I am an empathetic therapist specializing in the treatment of children and young adults. I enjoy using Play Therapy techniques, as play is truly the language children use for communicating and healing. I enjoy the challenge, honesty, and rewards of working with kids. I have experience working with co-parenting, trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, Autism Spectrum, ADHD, addiction, violence related issues, and LGTBQ. I also enjoy working with parents, utilizing some techniques from Gottman Institute, Love and Logic, and Incredible Years curriculum. I look forward to working cooperatively with your child and family.

The decision to seek out a therapist is an important first step towards positively addressing conflicts, managing distress, and learning to cope with negative or overwhelming feelings.

For the past 15 years, I have been blessed to help clients create a “life worth living.” I enjoy helping clients find the path to their best life as they work through life transitions, trauma, LGBTQ+, and attachment issues. I have also spent the last year getting trained to provide ketamine assisted therapy, where ketamine is coupled with therapy to provide new thought patterns which can be potentially life changing. I am also the parent of a child adopted through DCFS and intimately understand the ups and downs of attachment issues. Lastly, I am also the sibling of multiple military members and understand the culture.

I specialize in trauma, domestic abuse and addiction. I also help clients that struggle with depression, anxiety, relational issues and interpersonal struggles. I use a comprehensive, integrative approach to healing (EMDR) as well as CBT, DBT and Mindful practices.EMDR is a systematic process of healing that promotes emotional stability by helping to free the mind from past thoughts, memories and behaviors that are present in daily life. The mindful approach to emotional healing works through conscious change in perspective. Being consciously aware of unconscious thoughts helps in the process of change. This mindful practice changes how you view yourself and the world around you.

All humans need connection, love, support, and a safe place to be their authentic self. My value and understanding of this need is shown in my approach in everyday life along with my approach with all clients. I believe in meeting the client where they are and allowing each person to be their genuine authentic self in their journey of healing. I value every person’s perspective and meet them where they are. I value the nature of inner wounds and create a mutual plan for healing tailored to each client.

Like you, my clients come to me feeling overwhelmed, afraid, and stuck. You may feel frustrated that you have already had therapy and done a lot of work, yet find yourself in the same patterns that you want to move beyond. You may feel unfulfilled in your relationships and wonder if things can get better. You might even notice a pattern or theme in your relationships that you need to make sense of. You may struggle with a harsh inner critic and have a difficult time building a positive relationship with yourself. You might feel hopeless because you have felt this way for a long time with little relief.

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.

The fact that you are reading these words right now tells me you’re on the path toward discovering the answer to that question. It takes strength to seek support and I am so happy you have found yourself here. I work with individuals who are struggling with anxiety, depression, and trauma/PTSD.
