Therapists in Provo, UT

I'm Makayla, a LAMFT with expertise in helping couples build stronger relationships and creating inclusive spaces for LGBTQIA+ individuals. Using a combination of Gottman Couples Therapy and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), I help couples cultivate trust, improve communication, and strengthen their emotional bond. Whether you're navigating conflicts, seeking premarital counseling, or wanting to reignite the spark, I provide a supportive and collaborative environment for enhancing your connection.

I am passionate about helping my clients find growth, health, strength, and happiness in relationships, and in life. I enjoy working with individuals, couples, and families who are dealing with anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, identity, perfectionism, relationship issues, addiction recovery, and LGBT issues. I was born and raised in Utah Valley and I earned my master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Loma Linda University in California.

My approach is an affirmative space. I help many navigate the difficult journey of their faith crises and revolutions. This is a very hard time to navigate and the universe is calling us to heal. I don't judge ANY of my clients and I meet them where they are at to work on their goals. I have special trainings and certifications with Brainspotting a brain based trauma approach; working with children through play therapy, couples therapy & LGBTQ+ relationships and issues. I also have extensive experience wading through the struggles of stepfamily and blended family issues. You deserve a supportive space to manage life.

You're here because you're brave. Maybe you are feeling stuck. You've done what you feel you can. Something still isn't working. You're hoping an outside perspective will help you find the path to change or healing. This is where I can help. I specialize in treating sexual addiction and pornography problems, the associated betrayal trauma typically experienced by partners, anxiety, depression, LGBTQ+ concerns, trauma, relationship struggles, faith crisis, faith transition and mixed faith marriages. Whatever your goals are, I will be there to help you find the path to success.

I love being a therapist, helping others to find their best selves and reach their potential. I do individual and family / marital therapy with all ages. I specialize in autism spectrum disorders, abuse / trauma, anxiety, depression, executive functioning deficits (like ADHD and learning problems), and behavior problems. My preferred modes of therapy are cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), child-centered play therapy / filial play therapy, neurocognitive remediation (NCR), and experiential therapy (including utilizing mindfulness).

I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist in private practice since 2001. I care deeply about helping my clients work through challenges in their lives, with sensitivity and humor. Everyone has challenges but sometimes involving a mental health professional is helpful to produce needed or desired change. I take into account the influences of psychology, biology, culture, family context, and spiritual/religious considerations to find answers to your psychological and relationship questions/concerns. I help my clients find healing and new ways to see the world and strengthen their relationships with themselves and with others.

I grew up in Mongolia where vulnerability was viewed as a sign of weakness in the community. Due to the culture, I had been trained to suppress my feelings throughout my life. I suffered silently when I had anxiety, depression, and traumas in my family of origin. I know how hard it is when nobody understands you, feeling numb while feeling a lot of emotions, and struggling to forgive while loving loved ones. However, I was lucky to find the right therapist who cared, cried, and helped me deeply. Therapy helped me to empower myself and bring change in my life.

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.

Hi, I'm Rachel, I am a Licensed Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (LAMFT). I have helped individuals, couples, and families in therapy. I have helped clients with depression, anxiety, trauma, sexual assault history, OCD, eating disorders and body image concerns, marriage issues, family-of-origin issues, cultural diversity, and LGBTQ+ issues.

I have a Master's Degree in Clinical Psychology from Tulsa University. I am currently a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I have been been working as a practitioner for over 35 years. I love to help my clients have a good sense of well-being and to find meaning and purpose for their lives.

Finding a therapist you connect with can make all the difference in your progress in therapy.  I have found that the bredth of my knowledge drives the depth of my work.  I pull from my love of reading, philosophy, history, neuroscience, and well timed humor to help drive a point home. I often hear from my clients that they know they will be challenged but cared for when working with me. Whether it is diffucult struggles, life transitions, mental health battles, existential turmoil, or goal setting, I'm here for you and your loved ones. I genuinely consider it my life's work.

You are worth it. I can help you find healing, peace and happiness. I work with people struggling with anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, identity struggles, betrayal trauma, pornography addiction, marriage issues, spiritual identity, faith crisis, mixed faith marriages, and problematic patterns that prevent you from being happy. I work particularly well with teens and their parents–and have experience working in adolescent residential treatment. I also work well with issues relating to adoption and attachment.

Divorce can be a scary experience for a child. A child can respond to such changes by having tantrums, refusals, and becoming more withdrawn. The guilt and shame of divorce can be so overwhelming that you do not know how to help your child anymore and fear that the divorce can cause damage to your child forever. The good news is, divorce does not have to be the worst thing you can do to your child. In fact, divorce can be a very healthy decision and help your child learn how to cooperate and grow, even under challenging circumstances.

Hi! I am a bisexual, cisgender woman and love to CELEBRATE my queer community! My goal as a therapist is to help clients find healing from within to become empowered to make changes in their external world. My approach includes an element of play and/or art, to help clients have new emotional experiences through the therapeutic approaches of Internal Family Systems and Emotionally Focused Therapy.

Each of us have beliefs and experiences that impact our ability to form meaningful relationships, accomplish goals, or accept ourselves. My hope is to help the individuals, couples and families I work with challenge these negative beliefs and guide them in using skills to develop a stronger sense of self and more stable relationships. Over the past decade I have specifically worked with adolescents, young adults and their families. I love this stage of life, the change that can take place is amazing if given the right tools. Balancing independence and connection for individuals and family is one of my main goals in therapy.

There is no shortage of problems or stress in today’s world. You deserve to be able to work through yours with someone by your side. I’m a firm believer that therapy needs to be tailored for individual experiences. I always strive to provide my clients with the best possible approach in a welcoming, relaxed environment where you can truly be yourself. I’ve found that humor can be a powerful tool within the healing process when used appropriately. Working on yourself is never easy, but you should be able to enjoy the smile-worthy moments.

I have worked with many populations including adolescents, children, homeless, couples, families and individuals. I have lived in the South Pacific including Hawaii and Tonga. I have also lived in California , Arizona, Washington and I currently live in Provo Utah. I have worked with a wide number of different cultures and people of different beliefs. I adhere to a humanistic model of Psychotherapy in that no one person is the same and everyone deserves to be treated with empathy. I focus on each individual's potential and stress of growth and self-actualization.

There is a pathway forward through the distress of disconnection, grief and loss, faith transitions, and anxiety. Transforming painful feelings and meeting unmet needs occurs through creating connections and emotional processing. Therapy is tailored to your specific goals and needs: deepening relational connection, working through anxiety, overcoming addictions, processing grief/loss, faith transitions, emotional challenges, or engaging in family therapy. Creating a validating and respectful therapeutic experience is central to inviting growth and change.
