I am a welcoming a space to explore symptoms of anxiety, depression, substance use and feelings of uncertainty or sense of direction. Understanding the core of our suffering and inviting the process of healing with compassion is essential. Symptoms may manifest in waves debilitating and interfering with our daily life preventing us from feeling peace and tranquility. Life can be challenging by making sense of what we are experiencing and I would like to support you in every step. Making sense of our experience may require us to sit with discomfort. I use a mindfulness-based, trauma-informed approach to therapy.

I am passionate about helping individuals bounce back from traumatic experiences. It is common to feel broken, to feel a shadow of who you once were after painful life experiences. The healing journey is one of the most courageous adventures we can embark on. I walk with you into those dark places, offering sensitivity and kindness, helping you lean into healing connection. Among other issues, I specialize in helping individuals explore issues related to grief, depression and anxiety, gender and sexual orientation identities, and spiritual emergence/y.

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.

As your therapist, my intention is to create a safe environment for you to be and explore yourself.  Together we'll bring awareness to your thoughts, feelings, emotions, body sensations, values, desires, memories and more, to deeply understand what its like for you to be you. Awareness opens the door for understanding, self-love, and change. To support your therapeutic journey, I use Transpersonal therapy, Gestalt therapy, Somatic-based trauma therapy, Process Work, CBT, dream work, inner child work, and shadow work. I specialize in LGBTQ+ affirming therapy and affirming letter writing.

How would it feel to be certain of who you are-let's find out how you can be the expert of your own life! I focus from several evidence-based & trauma-informed therapy models with adult individuals, relationship systems & groups. I am experienced in attachment, chronic health Issues & medical trauma, life & belief transitions, gender & LGBTQ+ & alternative partnerships. I'm passionate about working with individuals whose lives have been deeply altered by a major event including a medical trauma, disability or career loss. **I have limited space for new private pay, high-specialization-match clients at this time**

I can fluently provide counseling in English & Spanish. I like using a non-pathological and teamwork approach where the clients are the experts of their own lives. I specialize in working with individuals, families, couples, and children, focusing on helping them reach their desired goals. To do so, I use the following evidence-based perspectives: CBT, DBT, EMDR, Gottman (Couples), Play Therapy, and Mindfulness. I have noticed that clients seek more self-improvement after graduating from our therapy work. We would be a great fit if you are highly motivated to do the job.

Ana grew up in Mendoza, Argentina in a city with a landscape and four seasons, just like Utah. This came with a gift, she speaks Spanish, and is trying very hard to learn Portuguese (for now she can understand it very well). Ana earned her bachelor’s degree at the Universidad Nacional de Cuyo, in Argentina and her master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy (MFT) at Argosy University, the Draper, Utah campus. Before becoming a therapist, Ana was a music teacher and she loved working with children and teenagers. Ana’s therapeutic approaches are rooted in Solution-Focused Therapy and Trauma Focused-CBT (TF-CBT).

Are you tired of feeling stressed and anxious? Do you have a phobia, mental challenges or fear that is holding you back? Hypnotherapy can help. Many people struggle with emotional and behavioral challenges that can make it difficult to live their best lives. Hypnosis, cognitive behavioral therapy and NLP can help you to overcome these challenges and achieve your goals. These are modalities allow you to access your subconscious mind, where your beliefs and patterns of behavior are stored. By working with a qualified hypnotherapist, you can reprogram your subconscious mind to create positive change in your life.

I'm Becca Post, founder of Forward Healing Co. When you choose to heal, my team and I are here to help you heal forward. The old model of change accepted by most medical communities is cyclical in nature. You feel that something is wrong, you seek help, you feel better, you “graduate.” Then, something happens — you’re triggered, life changes, you “relapse” — and you seek help again. Therapy works…until it doesn’t. So I created a new model of change for my group therapy practice: the Forward Model of Change.

Ever feel like you're on the outside looking in? Maybe it's your gender, your weight, your sexual orientation, your race, your spiritual beliefs, your past experiences... Somehow you just don't fit. You tell yourself if you could find the right person, or look a certain way, or just forget about what happened to you, you'd break through. Instead, all these reasons pile up and separate you from the life you "should" be living. Sound familiar? I work with clients every day who struggle to connect, and I see how the loneliness eats at them. They're so desperate for change, but they feel trapped by old patterns.

I truly care about my clients and challenge them to achieve their goals and meet their full potential. I believe we start by generating a strong therapeutic relationship that allows us to do the hard work together. Then we will begin to identify learned patterns of thinking and behavior that are no longer working for you. Together, we will explore new ways of thinking and being that are aligned with your values, experiences, and goals to support you becoming the person you want to be. I work with young adults and adults on their concerns related to identity development, relationship concerns, anxiety, mood concerns, and trauma.

I believe the story you tell yourself about yourself and your relationships is far more meaningful and descriptive than a diagnosis or other label that may have been placed on you. My goal is to assist you in gaining clarity about that story, who you are and where you are in life – your aspirations, talents, skills, obligations, and needs – so you can move confidently into the future, staying connected to those you love and the things that bring you joy. Don’t be a victim of fear, insecurity, or disappointment – harness your natural abilities, virtues, and powers to be the hero of your life.

Melanie has extensive experience working with trauma, domestic and interpersonal violence, LGBTQIA+, multicultural, and neurodiverse clients. She works alongside clients throughout the creation and implementation of personalized treatment plans that offer structured interventions and assist to create a greater self-acceptance, promoting both immediate and long-term change.

I take a client-centered approach, setting tailored goals so you are able to see observable weekly progress. My job is to support you in learning how to self-soothe, emotionally regulate, ultimately becoming your own therapist. We will process the conflict in your life and support you in making empowering choices for the future.

Have you struggled with feeling good about yourself? How does your perception of yourself impact your life? Each of us have lived experiences that leave imprints on our lives sometimes impacting our ability to trust, and connect with ourselves and those around us. I aim to foster a space in therapy that invites room for curiosity, safety, and also bravery in order to encourage---growth, self-discovery and healing. I work with both young adults and adults who are experiencing never feeling enough, or have experienced: trauma, self-harming behaviors, eating disorders, body perception issues, perfectionism and negative self-perception.
