Culturally Sensitive Therapists in South Salt Lake, UT

We all deserve a space where we can feel safe and free to be open.To show our vulnerable selves and work through our barriers, to be whole no matter how old we are. I am a firm believer of allowing the person to be the expert of their own journey. I understand that life is challenging however, there is no need to find your purpose alone. As a therapist I feel privileged to accompany you and others in your inner circle to a path of healing by supporting you to explore your strengths ,resilience and how to cultivate happiness.

Do you suffer from work related anxiety or depression? Does it feel like between work, home life, mental health, and self care, there's just no way to keep up? You may even find your anxiety seems to follow you around, even when the problem isn't happening it weighs so heavy on you that you can't enjoy your time and it feels like you never get a break. While it may sometimes feel hopeless, I specialize in finding ways to break free from these patterns.

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.

What type of therapist are you looking for? Each person is different, and I am excited to meet with you. A little bit about me: My name is Jasmine, and I am a first-generation American and college graduate. In addition to completing the requirements for becoming a therapist, I offer a unique perspective based on my background and experiences from my upbringing, where I was exposed to various types of culture, religion, and other factors that contribute to an individual’s development and perspective. I have over seven years of experience working in the social services industry with various populations struggling with mental health.

I believe that you can have a great life no matter the issues and feelings you currently have. This possibility may be hard to imagine now, but that is what I help you do. My job is to help you clarify what you want and then to achieve this. We all have a "wise mind" and heart in us. The wise mind can become obscured by stress and circumstance, but this is what you come to therapy to discover. With encouragement and support, you can learn to trust your path and solve whatever your current problems are. I work with motivated people who want to improve their lives.
