Therapists in Taylorsville, UT

Hi there! Her Wellness Therapy specializes in treating identifying women experiencing PTSD, depressive, anxiety symptoms and more. Therapy can be very helpful if you're in need of general resources and support, and is essential if you're suffering from a mental health disorder. When we experience trauma, we in a sense stay frozen in time, and often form unhelpful beliefs which keep us stuck. The clinicians at Her Wellness are specifically trained to help you get unstuck and heal. We truly get it, and care.

Live Well is more than just our name, its our objective. Rediscovering who you are and the potential that lies within you

Addiction and its accompanying issues make life a struggle for both the client and for those who love them. Those in active addiction intuitively know there is a gap between the life they're demonstrating and the possibilities their potential affords - if they could only get out of their own way. My methods promote profound fundamental change: the shedding of self-destructive attributes, the definition of a clear, compelling vision for the future, and the tools clients need to implement strategies that will enable them to become the best possible version of themselves.

Everyone has a sense of personal identify. How do you think about yourself? What is important to you? Identities are often imposed or at the very least encouraged by environmental or cultural forces. As a child, were you routinely told, "You can do it!,” or were you more often told; “You can’t do anything right?” The things we hear as children are usually the very things that create our sense of self. Early in life, sense of self is associated with security, protection, and acceptance. If our identity is strongly developed in the early years of life, this helps to protect us against the challenges in life.

My strengths as a clinician are in working with clients with trauma, anxiety, grief, life changes, relationship struggles, addressing blocks in achieving life goals, self-esteem issues, coping skill challenges and those struggling with a strong sense of identity. We collaborate together to help you ground to yourself and your potential. I believe true change occurs when we combine awareness with skills.

I'm a firm believer that mental health care is for everyone, no matter what obstacles you're facing. It's my goal to normalize mental health care for all people. Just as you see a doctor multiple times per year, whether you're ill or not, proactive health care is crucial for a healthy, balanced life; the same goes for your mental health. My ideal client is any human being interested in navigating the rivers of their life, no matter the challenge(s) you're facing. My goal is to help you identify and explore your entire and true self. Together, we'll explore your past/present/future to navigate any/all issues and set realistic goals.

We are an inclusive, somatic, neurodiverse, trauma informed, and sensitive therapy practice nestled in the Liberty Wells area of Salt Lake City, Utah working with couples, adolescents, and adults.

Have you ever thought to yourself: “I know this isn’t my fault & that what I’m thinking isn’t true…so why does it still FEEL like it is?” If you have, I want you to know - that can change and life doesn’t have to always feel this heavy. I want to help you work through the burdensome trauma that others may have put on you so you can start enjoying life again instead of just surviving it.

I love working with those seeking healing, empowerment and freedom from internal and external barriers stemming from Anxiety (OCD, GAD, SAD, BDD & Panic), Depression and Trauma. Collaborating with you in learning how to empower, find one's inner voice and improve one's self-esteem is my goal for you. I find joy to seeing the miracle of change unfold as families strive together to seek unity and healing together. Some of my core values are Creativity, Authenticity, Humor, Compassion, Acceptance & Determination. I want your journey to be one of learning, growing, and finding joy in life. Happy to help you create a life worth living!

ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS: Whatever you resist will persist! I invite those who have an open mind for new ideas and seek to create long-lasting success to start that journey today. I believe that individuals have the right to achieve and be all they desire. We have the power and capacity to make a decision about what we are going to tolerate in our lives. I challenge each of us to get into a great, beautiful state of thinking, and living and fully enjoy the fruits of our labors. I believe that knowledge is only potential power, and we become powerful when we are courageous enough to execute that knowledge.

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
