Internet Addiction Therapists in Provo, UT

I have considerable experience and success working with individuals who struggle with pornography addiction issues, anxiety, depression, self esteem and other distorted and irrational beliefs of themselves and their experiences in life that results in struggles with daily functioning and coping strategies.

I specialize in adolescents, young adults & parenting.

I help clients build resilience in their lives to more effectively face their challenges & take an active approach when needed with experiential therapy (going for a walk, jog, hike or bike ride--depending on the need & value to help the client progress and grow).

Immediate openings. Going through painful experiences is part of being human, and it is something we can all relate to in our own personal way. Sometimes the consequences of these painful or traumatic experiences can be carried with us for several years or a lifetime.
