My website
My ideal clients are adults, teens, and couples in Utah County stuck in patterns of shame, secrecy, or self-criticism, often tied to eating disorders, pornography or sexual addiction, or the overwhelm of ADHD. Many have tried therapy before and left feeling like they only talked in circles. Others are new to counseling, carrying anxiety, trauma, faith questions, or family conflict they've never said out loud. My approach is collaborative and connection-focused, but the goal is always forward motion: real, lasting change, so clients move past what's holding them back instead of revisiting it session after session.
I specialize in eating disorders, pornography and sexual addiction, and ADHD, with 26+ years treating trauma, anxiety, depression, and faith or identity struggles. I offer individual, couples, and family therapy, in person in Orem or via telehealth across Utah, Idaho, Virginia, and New York, with practical, evidence-based tools tailored to each client.
Stop struggling by yourself. Reaching out can feel like the hardest step. You just have to be willing to show up and talk to get started. That's it. If any of this sounds like you, I'd be glad to help you find steadier ground and a clearer path forward.

I believe therapy should be tailored to your unique needs. There's no one-size-fits-all approach. We'll collaborate to develop a plan that's realistic and effective, but your commitment to the process is crucial. Whether it's traditional talk therapy, CBT, or other techniques, we'll find what works best for you. What is most important is that it works!

Groups

Open Up, Level Up- Men's Open Processing Group

Photo of Michael Cox, Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW
Hosted by
Michael Cox

Men often carry stress, relationship pressure, and personal struggles without a place to talk openly. This therapist-facilitated open processing group offers a confidential space where men connect through honest conversation, shared experience, and practical insight. Discussion evolves naturally based on real-life challenges brought by participants, with guidance from licensed therapists to keep the space respectful and productive. There is no pressure to share before you’re ready. Many men come to improve relationships, navigate life transitions, strengthen emotional resilience, and gain perspective alongside others who understand.
