Therapists in Utah

I am accepting new clients and offer Online Counseling via Telehealth. I've provided over 10,000 hours of therapy and like Confucius said, "Choose a job you love, and you will never work a day in your life." I managed LDS Family Services for 13 years and loved directing the 12-step Addiction Recovery Program in Michigan, New York and Pennsylvania. I've been recruited by multiple residential treatment centers, a hospital, a skilled nursing facility, and by an IOP program assessing and treating substance abuse and domestic violence.

Are you needing healthier ways to cope with difficult emotions? Are traumatic events or hurtful memories keeping you stuck in the past? Do you feel like you are repeating the same behaviors that prevent you from living the life you want? Change is attainable and I'm here to support you. I am empathetic and understanding, while also practical in my approach to address issues effectively. Together we can come up with plans to directly face your concerns and meet your desired goals. I am passionate in guiding clients in learning new methods and coping skills to find relief and improve their quality of life.

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.

In our daily lives, we face numerous challenges, turmoil, and trouble. We may feel triggered, alone, anxious, frustrated, depressed, irritated, stressed, overwhelmed, and conflicted. We may believe we cannot get out of our dark, deep hole. GOOD NEWS: YOU ARE NOT ALONE! At Bright Hope Christian Counseling Center (BHCCC), we believe that God is our ultimate healer and restorer of broken hearts and lives. Together with God, we can find the freedom to help us restart our life and relationships that have brought us down and devastated us for generations.

Kate has extensive training in Play Therapy and Sand-Tray Therapy. She enjoys using these expressive strength-based interventions, guiding clients to discover their authentic True Self and creating Post-Traumatic Growth (PTG). Kate has integrated Positive Psychology with Art Therapy which becomes “Positive Art Therapy.” Kate helps clients who are struggling with past trauma, anxiety, codependency, depression and perfectionism.

At times life can be difficult and we may seek professional help. During these times, you need a person who helps you to feel safe as you work through the trials you may face and help you become empowered. My office is very warm and comforting as we work together through difficulties that arise.

In order to provide unique and individualized care, I offer a multitude of services such as individual therapy, family therapy, couples counseling, and group therapy. I am licensed to treat clients in both Florida and Utah and I believe in alternative ways of conducting therapy based on the needs of my clients. I have spent the vast majority of my career supporting and counseling clients facing issues ranging from eating disorders and addictions, couples/family conflict, and mood disorders.

You are the expert of you. You and only you knows what it is like to have your mind, your body, and your life experiences. Through a collaborative approach, I would love the opportunity to support you on your journey, as you navigate through life's challenges. Whatever challenges you are currently facing, I aim to provide a safe space for you to be heard, seen, and explore what works best for you. Healing is possible, and if you are open to healing, the healing will take place in your life. I have worked in a variety of settings. I enjoy working with all ages.

At Green Willow we specialize in working with teens and adults who are struggling with childhood trauma and abuse, PTSD, relationships, women's specific concerns, depression, anxiety, stress, LGBTQ, and life adjustment concerns. We work with adolescents and adults who are struggling with mood disorders, family dynamics, coping skills, and emotional dysregulation. We provide a peaceful and supportive environment to explore past traumas, discuss current concerns, and plan for a more fulfilling future. We believe that each of us has the capacity for healing and growth, and that within us we contain the answers for a more joyful life.

What a different world we live in compared to just 5 years ago! It is my honor and intention to provide up-to-date, practical, and informed care. I also love working with children and their adults :)

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.

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.
