Therapists in Provo, UT

Whether it be mental health issues, trauma, addiction or anything else that causes us to feel lack of control in our lives, it is incredibly isolating. Unfortunately, isolation causes all of those issues to just get worse and worse; and we seem to lose ourselves along the way. It is demoralizing to look at our lives and feel like our true selves are just out of reach. When this occurs, we can’t help but look in the mirror and just feel broken or, at the very least, desperate for change. While working with me you will experience the healing power of connection, and an opportunity to fully examine yourself without judgment.

Kate has integrated Positive Psychology with Art Therapy which becomes “Positive Art Therapy.” Kate helps clients who are struggling with past trauma, anxiety, codependency, depression and perfectionism.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with years of experience in providing therapeutic counseling in end-of-life situations that include retirement, hospice settings, and loss situations. I have developed a deep understanding of the challenges faced by families during these difficult times. My expertise lies in using evidence-based therapy techniques to help individuals cope with cognitive impairment and confusion experienced by their loved ones. Whether it's through one-on-one sessions or group therapy, I provide compassionate support in life settings, guiding families through the changing and grieving processes of living.

I’m glad you are here! Mental health matters, and sometimes we need help and support to get us to where we want to be. My goal is to help you feel safe, seen, heard, valued and important. Your healing journey matters, and I would love to help you along the way. Whether you are experiencing anxiety, depression, family struggles, trust difficulties or the effects of trauma, I’m here to help. We can work together to decide what treatment will be most helpful for you, and we can adapt along the way. You deserve to find relief, hope and healing!

I believe each person is unique and has great worth. Whether you are at the beginning of your healing journey, somewhere in the middle or towards the end, finding a therapist can be overwhelming. I am here to support, encourage, validate, explore and discover with you. Life can be stressful and can also feed us lies, doubts and bring a concoction of unpleasant emotions. I am here to walk alongside you as you rediscover yourself and work through past trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, self worth or whatever struggles you are currently dealing with. I also specialize in working with children to help them through these struggles.

We all have strengths and skills. Sometimes we have tried everything and are out of ideas. If we knew a better way, we would use it! Sometimes we face challenges we could not anticipate or prepare for. The stress we deal with, the depression or anxiety we feel, can interfere with our relationships or functioning and become an obstacle to the life we want. Understanding how our past shapes our present can help us create a more hopeful, satisfying future. If your challenges have brought you to the point where you are ready for additional support, I’d like to help you increase your tool box and reconnect with your own resilience.

Appointments available next week. I believe that a caring and genuine therapeutic relationship can help people to live a more meaningful, joyful, and productive life. Therapy provides a non-judgmental space in which to explore ways of navigating life’s stresses and challenges, find freedom from depression and anxiety, and connect more deeply with oneself. My approach is person-centered, gentle, direct, and practical, with an emphasis on finding hope and meaning even in the midst of suffering. I strive to create a safe space in which clients can address any difficulties they are experiencing and connect to their inner strength.

Hi! I'm Allison and I'm passionate about helping individuals navigate the challenges in their lives, and find peace through inner work. My areas of focus include grief and loss, challenges surrounding identity development, trauma, life transitions, and anxiety. I utilize a strengths-based approach when working with clients to build trust and assist in developing a positive sense of self. My ideal client is curious and excited about making positive shifts in their life!

Although I believe that the goals of therapy are always first and foremost determined by my clients, I generally hold the hope for each of them that they will find more joy in life. To that end, I believe in an eclectic theoretical approach, one that draws on a wide range of perspectives including humanist/existential philosophy, Jungian psychodynamics, trauma-informed and client-centered practice, because I believe people are eclectic. Because I have both personal and professional experience with this work, I view the relationship between client and therapist as central and fundamental to the therapeutic process being effective.

Are you noticing that life isn’t working out the way you expected? Have your old ways of coping started to work against you? Are you looking for your relationship to get to a better place, but aren’t sure it can? Is your faith evolving in a way you didn’t expect? Whatever brings you into my office, I want you to leave your journey with me feeling more present, hopeful, empowered, informed, creative, connected, and capable of healing. I love bringing my expertise into partnership with motivated adults who are ready for change, or just needing a safe space to work through their struggles.
