Therapists in Provo, UT

Hi! I am so happy you are here on Psychology Today taking the first steps to receiving therapy. I am excited to get to know you and assist on your journey. I am currently taking Telehealth clients only. I work with clients who struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma, spirituality, body image issues, and life stressors whose goal is to find acceptance, knowledge, and change. I am passionate about helping you find healthy coping skills and happiness!

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.

The impact of our histories seems to last forever. We can be crippled by moments of regret, embarrassment, and pain, and we can suffer from physical tension, mood swings, aches, and issues focusing. We lose sleep, eat poorly, settle for mediocre work with mediocre pay, get into unfulfilling relationships, have troubled intimacy, and continue suffering day-to-day where we get stuck. We can easily see this reality is unwanted, but what can be done about it?

I am passionate about helping individuals, couples and families find their path to discovering better mental health, increased communication skills and sense of wellbeing. My education, training, and experience includes the diagnosis and treatment of the following: ADD, abuse, anxiety, depression, marriage and family development, substance use, addiction, pornography use, cognitive distortions, men’s issues, faith issues and various diagnostic criteria. My interest and experience also includes working with high school students, older adults and the acquired brain injury population.

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.

At Therapy Transformed, we are committed to holistic, ethical, evidence-based, trauma-informed approaches. Our mission is to provide a safe, empowering space for individuals. We frequently offer group therapy, please check our listings and our website for current offerings either virtual or in person. We are an LGBTQIA+ Affirming practice.

Sometimes parts of our life can feel overwhelming and debilitating. It can be difficult to know who to turn to and what to do. I recognize how important it is to have someone to provide tools and techniques to reach a point of healing. My approach to therapeutic treatment is to work collaboratively with my clients. I have worked with adults, couples, college students, and teens with a range of experiences including depression, anxiety, mood disorders, trauma, marital or relationship issues, family relational concerns, grief support, self-harm, and suicidal thoughts. No matter what you may be battling, there is hope for healing.

I absolutely love what I do as a therapist. I am collaborative, working with your strengths and helping you access your own skills and resources to overcome your challenges. I believe in empowering you to take action and I love to create a safe environment to explore difficult emotions, beliefs, and behaviors. I believe in you. I am a person-centered therapist. I feel strongly about the inherent capacity of humans to heal and grow.

Trauma affects us all, unfortunately for some, trauma can cause problems beyond the ability to cope. When triggered, the brain can get stuck in fight or flight mode, limiting one's ability to think rationally and function in daily life. Another part of living with the effects of trauma is dealing with the difficult and painful emotions which can cause problems in our relationships and can negatively impact our connections with others. Depression, anxiety, grief, anger, confusion, frustration, shame, and isolation can all be a result of unresolved trauma.

I offer counseling to individuals and couples. The most important trait I believe a therapist can bring to a person who is suffering mentally, emotionally and or spiritually is unconditional positive regard. I welcome the opportunity to help you navigate the complexities of your mental health. Together we can determine a treatment plan that meets your specific needs. Nothing is more rewarding to me than helping clients overcome challenges and increase their joy, satisfaction and qualify of life.

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.

Therapy is akin to walking on sacred ground. I am passionate about helping clients achieve personal wholeness and the loving connections that they long for. As a sex therapist, I am especially enthusiastic about helping couples create "sextraordinary" marriages! I provide a safe, friendly, encouraging and active counseling environment for us to explore what is needed to help you have the best relationships possible. As founder of "The Marital Intimacy Institute," I look forward to working with you online or in person at my Utah office. Visit the MaritalIntimacyInstitute.com for info about my waitlist and Priority Client options.

In collaboration, we will work to find interventions designed to increase your quality of life. My emphasis as a therapist is to address past trauma and install hope through an increase in healthy ways to cope with life stressors. I have had the opportunity to work with individuals with a variety of trauma, including domestic violence, sexual violence, addiction, chronic mental health issues, and transitional issues. I am currently working exclusively through Telehealth.

I see individuals that desire and are willing to work at creating better relationships and lives. Sometimes we may feel stuck; unable to control our emotions and thought processes. I bring hope and tools to help provide healing and growth. We get a clear picture and understanding of what we want the outcome of therapy to be. We come up with priorities to work on and then experience interventions that create awareness, understanding, skills, hope and motivation to do what works! We then do our homework. We continue in this process, making any adjustments, till we achieve our "healthier life"!

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.

I’ve helped many people in my career who have struggled with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and relationship difficulties because of trauma, abuse, loss, or other high-stress experiences from their past. It’s not just the events we’ve experienced, but rather the result of how those events continue to affect us. I help patients retain learning and wisdom from their past but lose the pain. Everyone who steps into my office will be valued, heard, and respected no matter how difficult the issues may be to talk about. I respect and treat each person as I would want my own family member treated.

Life is difficult. All of us are faced with stress, pain, loss, and feeling out of control in our lives. Sometimes, even the strongest people you know need a little bit of help to work through life’s more difficult problems. You may be experiencing some of your own life’s challenges and feel you have done all you can to cope, yet find things are not changing or improving. You may not know exactly where to go for help, who the best person would be to talk to, or what to expect from therapy. These are normal questions and concerns. All of us here at New Beginnings Counseling Group want to reassure you…You are in the right place!

I am accepting new clients! I recognize the importance of connection, safety and trust within the therapeutic relationship. Brene Brown wrote, "Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light". Shame diminishes that light within us and tells us we are not worthy. We feel broken. It is in this brokenness that we can find strength, just as the Japanese art of Kintsugi does. We can find ways to work through depression, grief, and anxiety with courage and start to find what matters to you and work toward it together. I can help you find hope and meaning in your life again.

There's an intuitive sense within us that knows when it’s time to heal; time to fully process and release the old wounds, and thus create the genuine space for new things to grow. Relationships matter deeply – including our relationship with ourselves. I work with clients who have already begun to listen to themselves and know it’s time to take a deeper healing journey inward, make genuine life changes and ultimately increase their capacity for healthy, authentic connection with others. I work collaboratively and compassionately to empower my clients to sift through the difficult pieces that have historically gotten in the way.
