Therapists in Utah

I specialize in helping families, couples and individuals. I am also trained in helping single adults, adolescents, children and those in emotionally abusive situations. I am trained in many therapy techniques including EMDR, DBT, CBT, DNMS, IFS and attachment based therapy among others. I use a variety of tools and techniques to ensure each client has a personally tailored experience. Therapy doesn't have to take years - you can be on your way to a healthier happier way of relating to people and the world around you sooner than you may think.

I am very passionate about the experiences of people. I am a firm believer that people can overcome difficulties and challenges, but may need some assistance. People are a passion of mine. Each person is unique and therefore needs a unique perspective on their specific situation and experiences. Each person I work with is unique to me and the centered focus will be on that person's needs and how they personally can reach their goals.

I understand the complexities of life and relationships and how hard it can be to navigate. It can feel overwhelming and even helpless at times. I approach life and therapy with a wide lens. I like to take a holistic approach to mental health and I understand that our mental, physical and spiritual parts are intertwined. As humans we are made to feel emotions. I don’t view life or therapy as a process of learning to avoid difficult or uncomfortable feelings or a process of perfection. I view it as a process of discovery, acceptance, growth, and understanding.

Therapy can help name experience, holding the moving pieces that keep bumping up against the edges of your consciousness, organizing them, fitting them back together in a way that makes sense and returning them to you with skills to manage them. Sometimes though, the articulate and self aware client will spend hours explaining things they already understand, while still feeling unseen and disconnected, like their inner world is still being missed, knowing there is hurt and dissonance but needing someone to help them connect to it. My holistic mind, heart and body approach can bring you to a place of both naming and experiencing.

I truly enjoy working with people of all ages and seeing how they grow and change. We all run into times of crisis or struggle and whether it is something that requires intensive work or maybe seems quite small, there is hope for the future. I have experience working with children in play therapy, and teens and adults using an eclectic and person centered approach including CBT, ACT, psychoanalysis, DBT, as well as other modalities. I am one of three therapists in the area that have been trained in Trauma Conversion Therapy which is amazing for trauma, anxiety, depression, and OCD.

Life can be messy, disappointing, disorienting, and challenging at times. John Lennon said, “Life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans.” Isn’t that the truth? Sometimes difficulties are the result of our own choices, sometimes the result of another’s choices, and sometimes the result of the hand life dealt us. No matter the source of your difficulties, healing and growth are possible. As Martin Luther King Jr once stated, “If you can’t fly, then run. If you can’t run, then walk. If you can’t walk, then crawl, but whatever you do, you have to keep moving forward.”

Quotes from my clients: "Stacy is caring insightful, innovating and cuts to the root of your issues to help you address them." "Therapy was comfortable and welcoming." "Stacy smiles, laughs easily, and is encouraging. She takes me seriously and roots for me without judgements. She asks the hard questions to make me think and be stronger, which all combined, makes her incredible."

I work with clients that have experienced life's problems and are are stuck. My original motivation came from my trauma as an infantry soldier in Vietnam. I find that understanding fear, conflict, and trauma and how we respond to them have tremendous influence on our well being. Having traveled the road to recovery I know much of the terrain and I want to help others to navigate the path from despair to peace. I focus my work on depression, anxiety, gender, religious, and trauma problems. I have certified in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy. and use Internal Family principles and techniques.

Some of the most difficult and scary steps to take are those beginning steps of change. Often times these steps are out of one's comfort zone, and the first instinct is to want to hide, run or give up entirely. Life never promises or guarantees a pain free existence! However, with first steps and the courage to try, there can be a guarantee to oneself, to learn to take on challenges, struggles, pain, hurt, hang-ups, habits, addictions, etc. At this point its ok and have acceptance of one's difficulties and to embrace it. It's possible with the right guidance, support, and building of skills to rebuild what's been broken/is breaking.

Life is hard, but it is not hopeless. There are many circumstances we would not choose to be part of our lives. These circumstances may even limit our choices. I have learned that it doesn't really matter if these limiting circumstances were brought on by yourself or others, if they were intentional or unintentional consequences of past or present behaviors, or if they are randomly introduced. Regardless, they are absolutely frustrating, painful, and time consuming. I am honored to work with individuals and families who are seeking professional support in these times.

Have you ever wondered which experience in your life most affects how you feel? If your answer is "relationships," we should talk.

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.

I was born and raised in Las Vegas but relocated to Utah with my wife in 2014. I have spent most of my career as a business consultant and enjoy helping others simplify complex issues. After my own struggles, I realized that these skills could easily be transferred to individuals who had challenges in their personal lives. I am drawn to working with others who are overwhelmed by all the demands life places on them.

Hi, I’m Marilee. My personal and professional background have led me to a singular passion: helping families. Everyday challenges for children and their parents can feel overwhelming, and then tragedy, trauma or other difficult circumstances can make it all seem insurmountable. My passion lies in helping my clients through these times. Mental wellness occurs when we can reconnect to ourselves. I also believe that our relationships can buffer us from life’s difficulties–I help parents and children access the best versions of themselves. I believe in cultivating the practices of self-awareness, creativity, mindfulness & joy.
