Therapists in Salem, UT

Walking through the therapy door to spill your guts to a stranger can be terrifying! I've been there, so I use a humanistic and strengths-based approach as a therapist. I know that safety and connection are vital to healing and growing so I work at the pace my clients lead. I support you in connecting mind and body, living your authentic self, and creating meaningful connections with others. Whether you are dealing with difficult circumstances, emotions, dark thoughts or relationships, I know you are innately good and I try to see the whole you. Trauma-informed methods are key to restore you to optimal functioning.

I enjoy being a part of people's therapeutic space whether it is in individual therapy, group therapy, couples therapy, or family therapy. Helping people work through their hardest moments and seeing them heal is the most rewarding part of my work.

I consider the therapy process a courageous and hallowed experience. It is not easy to share pain, life struggles, and vulnerability with another person. I try to make that process as safe as possible while also facilitating a brave space where one can courageously face difficulties in healing ways. The framework of my practice is honoring and developing compassion for all diverse lived experiences. Every person has a diverse heritage, background, and identity and I strive to work within that context to aid people in their healing process.

Hi there, my name is Candi. One of my favorite quotes about life is by James Baldwin, which says, “Not everything that is faced can be changed but nothing can be changed until it is faced.” Life is too short to let trauma control us, to be anxious, depressed or angry all the time or to struggle alone in relationships. Therapy may not be the most comfortable experience, but it can be life changing. I want you to be able to find meaning and purpose and work through emotional pain so that your self-worth, relationships and other areas of life thrive.

You've been pushing along for so long, just trying to get by. Struggling with managing your emotions, you find yourself withdrawing, having less patience for those you are closest to. Perhaps being intimate and close with your partner feels impossible, or is painful and unfulfilling. You've noticed yourself questioning if those difficult experiences you thought you had dealt with are actually impacting you. What you are feeling is valid and deserves a space to be heard and healed. Each person's path to wholeness is unique. Let's help you heal, feel more connected, and find the peace you deserve.
