Therapists in Salt Lake City, UT

There are many challenges facing us in our world today. Having the ability to recognize when we need some extra support and the willingness to seek it is essential. My clinical experience over the last 20 years allows me to use my education and life experience to provide a safe place for us to work through these life challenges. Throughout my career, I have worked with adults and adolescents in a variety of systems: foster care, probation, drug court, residential, crisis intervention, and in-home.

Since graduating with a Master's in Social Work from the University of Utah in 1999, I have been actively involved in encouraging clients on the path to healthy change. I believe that every person possesses the ability to solve their own problems. My role as a therapist is to ask the right questions, encourage and celebrate each courageous step in the change process, and provide a non-judgmental space for that change.

Few of us get through this life without experiencing some trauma. Yet we all have the capacity to experience post-traumatic growth with the help of therapist whose role is to remove barriers that prevent us from moving past our past. When clients leave my office they have improved capacity for facing life head-on. Finding the right therapist is about “fit,” which is about feeling affirmed and validated for who you are.

When people experience trauma or stressful life events, it is not uncommon for them to feel like they have lost their footing. My passion is helping people feel hope again and return balance back into their lives. I work with neurodiverse children, adolescents and adults to help them regain a healthier perception of themselves and strengthen personal relationships.

Hello, I'm Tricia and I have been in clinical practice for 20 years, specializing in child and family work, crisis work and substance use treatment. My focus is to help children and adults heal, energize, and become aware of their inner strengths. To achieve this, I provide a neutral safe space, listen to your concerns, and customize a treatment plan that's specific to you. I'm looking forward to connecting with you and helping you work through any challenges you may be facing.

I specialize in working with families, children, teens and young adults, and adults, both in person and tele-health. As my client, you and I will develop a therapeutic relationship and build upon your strengths by meeting you where you are at currently with your mental wellness. I will help you identify an outcome and help you stay focused on that healthy outcome. My therapeutic approach is person centered where I will allow you to identify healthy strategies to improve their situation. I also enjoy using a CBT approach to help clients reframe their mind and normalize situations they are experiencing.

With more than 15 years of experience working with children, adolescents, families and couples I specialize in anxiety, depression, ADHD, stress management and behavioral difficulties. Is your child exhibiting anger outbursts, isolation, low motivation, irritability? Are you and your significant other having difficulty communicating, trusting each other or dealing with infidelity? Are you stressed, distracted, restless and constantly worried? I can help you and your family walk through your healing journey in a safe and confidential environment.

I created Lioncrest Counseling to help others with finding their way to a healthy and balanced life. I enjoy working with individuals, adolescents, couples and families using Dialectical-Behavioral Therapy(DBT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Solution Focused Therapy (SFT), experiential, strengths-based and positive psychotherapy. I help clients with depression, anxiety, addiction, attachment issues, trauma, mood disregulation, grief and loss, and oppositional defiance. I am passionate about identifying needs and have a creative hands-on approach– using music, art and acting to help people work through their feeling and issues.

You may be feeling stuck; if so, let's talk. I help adults experiencing depression, anxiety, or trauma using a variety of individually tailored approaches. I also help people who are going through life transitions, existential or spiritual crises, or difficulties that are hard to define.

I use a holistic approach that builds on the foundation & understanding that we are physical, mental, emotional, spiritual & social beings. Feeling disconnected from yourself in any of these areas limits your ability to navigate life in a way that feels meaningful & connected. I utilize evidence-based therapeutic approaches including Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy, mindfulness, somatic experiencing, breathwork, parts work (IFS), trauma focused cognitive behavioral therapy, and EMDR. My role is to walk with you through your healing journey while you learn to listen to and trust the wisdom & strength that you possess within.

I take a direct approach to treatment. Although eclectic in style, I am most closely attached to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). We will focus on the thought processes and behavioral responses that are contributing to the life dissatisfaction you are experiencing. I am solution-focused. The atmosphere will be empathetic, but our goal will be to effect change in your life. We may discuss your childhood, family relationships, or specific losses and grievances, only to the extent necessary to understand what is happening now.

Functional Therapy is a wrap-around, holistic method including analysis of one's sleep, exercise, dietary, recreating and stress-juggling patterns. A tuned-up body/brain can significantly facilitate cognitive/emotive progress. A kaizen approach to change allows real-world, practical strategies for growth in a short time-frame. Some issues may take longer, yet with a brief, solution-focused approach many clients reach their goals within a few meetings. My approach is down-to-earth, unorthodox, humorous when needed and with gentle, yet straight-forward feedback building on strengths and resiliency you already possess.

I am a clinical social worker who likes looking at the larger picture when it comes to mental health concerns. I think our illness should not define us, so I like looking at clients' strengths to help them overcome concerns they have. I have taught abnormal psychology, life span development and group therapy for many years and enjoy learning about people on a personal level. I enjoy my job so much because I enjoy how unique everyone is while still bonding over similarities we all share.

A compassion based approach that honors and collaborates with your own, innate strengths and healing abilities. For some, the work may be learning new skills to better manage and enjoy the challenges of every-day life. For others, it may be the deeply spiritual work of learning to heal the parts of themselves that were wounded in the past.

I appreciate the complexity of people. I believe in trying to understand all aspects in someone's life and recognizing the impact of their experiences, relationships, and understandings into the current way of life. There are reasons for certain beliefs about ourselves and others. I utilize my training and my own self in helping a client come to witness ideas and behaviors within themselves And then, find ways to make changes, find balance, and maybe even happiness.

Substance misuse, trauma, identity concerns, men's issues, depression, anxiety, adjustment issues. These are just a few of the issues I specialize in working with in my practice. I have had 8 plus years working with adolescents and adults in various settings. My approach is a humanistic, client-centered, somatic and trauma focused approach. I am trained in EMDR and Brainspottting. I try and create an environment/therapuetic alliance that is relaxed, humorous yet confrontational and free of therapeutic jargon so that my clients can be authentic.

Life is puzzling in both its perplexity and in that it resembles one. Where we attempt to find the edge pieces for some kind of outline/guide, discover which pieces fit together, constantly looking at the bigger picture, realizing it’s going to take some time to complete, and having someone join in can be helpful and/or fun. I do so in order to simplify a section of their life puzzle piece as they are attempting to find where it goes and how it fits in the bigger picture. That might include trauma focused Cognitive Behavior Therapy, DBT skills, Motivational Interviewing, solution focused therapy, and learned self-compassion.

I work with individual adults and couples from all economic, racial, sexual orientation and cultural sectors. It’s important to me that you feel safe, validated and supported in therapy. My goal is to help you realize your full potential and work through whatever it is that’s blocking you from achieving it. I take an action-oriented approach to therapy. I use EMDR, acceptance and mindfulness strategies to create life flexibility and long lasting changes.
