Therapists in Sugar House, Salt Lake City, UT

Throughout my life, I have searched for the kindness and understanding of others. I have lived through hardship and trauma, which have shaped me into the individual I have become. I know the value of suffering and the importance of being seen, heard, and understood by others, even a stranger. To be human is to long for meaning and worth. At times it seems impossible to find it within ourselves without the outreached hand of others who see beyond our appearance and behavior. My passion is people and the amazing ability of the mind, body, and soul. My desire is to help others discover and thrive in their own health and happiness.

My name is Jamie Hales and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who specializes in women’s mental health. Whether it is your first time seeking therapy or you are returning to the work, my role is to serve as a guide on your journey. I am certified by Postpartum Support International in the treatment of Perinatal Mental Health Conditions (PMHC) such as postpartum depression and anxiety, perinatal OCD, and reproductive trauma. I also provide treatment and support for individuals and couples experiencing infertility and grief/loss around their reproductive journey.

We are taking new clients at our office. We believe that therapy is a journey to build a better you. Whether that is moving through trauma, exploring and conquering anxiety, learning sports psychology tactics, raising your child (and dealing with the wonderful adolescent drama), fighting addiction, or strengthening your marriage, we're in this together. If you enter my therapy office, you are here to grow. While therapy is a process, it does not have to be a long, drawn out, difficult and treacherous.

I work with young adults, families, and couples helping them to shed light on themselves and the systems of which they are a part. I have worked predominately with clients experiencing symptoms of PTSD, depression, anxiety, bipolar, addictive disorders, and personality disorders. I have a background in wilderness therapy and experiential treatment and love to introduce creative, alternative modes of expression to my clients, including yoga movement, narrative, and outdoor based therapies (walk and talk). By the end of our first session, most of my clients feel relieved and hopeful for their next steps.

My clients have described me as kind, authentic, and warm. I prioritize creating an emotionally safe environment to investigate internal conflict and facilitate self love and acceptance. I help clients to understand their emotions on a deeper level giving them the ability to move forward in life with new clarity and confidence. In a world that prioritizes independence and self determination, reaching out for help can often feel like fighting basic instincts. If you are struggling with feeling alone, unsupported or disconnected from yourself and others, I am so glad you are here.

Hi, I am Anne! I am here to help young adults, older adults, and anyone in-between overcome life's obstacles with a side of humor and a heap of empathy. I work with adults who are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, faith transitions, and issues specific to the LGBTQIA+ community. I also have experience working with people in hospice, those with chronic or terminal illness, and caregivers. In sessions I use evidence-based and trauma-informed approaches such as ACT, CBT, ART (Accelerated Resolution Therapy) and several mindfulness techniques.

I believe that each person has the innate ability to overcome life's challenging obstacles. I'm committed to supporting each client and often times their family members through their journey. I have extensive experience working with complex/developmental trauma, PTSD/TBI, attachment disorders, dissociative identity disorders, personality disorders, suicide ideation/intervention/attempt, LGBTQ issues, Veteran specific services and place an emphasis on using the most advanced evidenced based modalities in my practice with clients.

I am a Clinical Mental Health Counselor with 15 years of experience working with trauma, anxiety and relationship issues. I work with individuals, couples and families struggling with depression, anxiety, boundaries and emotion regulation with a goal to attain individual wellness and meaningful connection. My specialization in relationship trauma extends to family, marriage, adoption, family of origin, LGBTQA, minority and other counseling arenas. I am experienced in evidenced-based modalities for trauma and emotional regulation.

Loss is hard. Change is hard. Relationships are hard. I offer a warm, safe, collaborative space to assist you on needs and goals, improve relationships, heal abuse and trauma, and go from surviving to thriving. Even though healing is hard it can also be an exciting, playful, and soul expanding journey! I am trauma trained and informed (ART, EMDR, Flash method, IFS) and approach therapy from an integrative and experiential standpoint. “If we climb high enough, we will reach a height from which tragedy ceases to look tragic.” (Yalom).

I help adults experiencing anger, trauma, substance abuse, relationship issues, depression, and anxiety. I believe in individualized care and will work with you to identify the best therapeutic direction. I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).

For the most part we are all walking around pretending to be okay and hoping our positive affirmations, daily meditations, gratitude journal entries and the annoying latest push-up challenge will finally pay off with the bliss, confidence and motivation we see in our imaginary future selves. When in reality we might be feeling the cliché, "Hot MESS", which I will say has a certain je ne sais quoi about it. Right? The truth is we all have a core self who wants to be healed and has the power to do it!Yet it is almost impossible to do without true Connection, Compassion and Curiosity of who we really are.

V Frankl: “Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.” My passion is helping disrupt the habitual autopilot of life in order to gain a sense of resiliency, purpose, and vitality. When experiencing burnout, acute/chronic stress, trauma, and/or chronic pain I work with you to restore balance in your life by processing stressors, trauma/triggers, and building in resources to increase resilience in the face of these barriers. This is achieved by working as a team: You are the expert of you and I bring the expertise of psychology.

Daily life can be scary, even daunting. For some of us, we have the additional stressors of trauma, loss, loneliness, addiction and loss of purpose. In therapy I strive to help individuals overcome their barriers. Happiness and balance are goals for me. I have experience treating addiction, trauma, depression, anxiety, bipolar, grief, relationship issues and more. Whether you view current barriers to be day to day stressors or intense trauma and PTSD, I can provide support, caring and understanding. My goal is for all of my clients to regain their purpose, feel connection and find more happiness in their lives.

I work with adults experiencing trauma, anxiety, and depression. I am trained in EMDR (eye movement desensitization reprocessing) for large-scale or small-scale trauma. I use a holistic approach, focusing on the mind+body connection. I dip into other therapeutic modalities, depending on what is relevant to you.

Hello there, welcome! You have taken a courageous first step. I understand that each of our path's to healing are different and unique. I am devoted to helping individuals explore and navigate these paths in order to have the best outcome, to heal, enjoy life, and gain a better understanding and love of self. You are capable of having the life you want. I am here to help in your healing process. I strongly believe that with a good therapeutic relationship, change is possible.

Anxiety, depression, or even intense stress can often get in the way of living the life we are meant to live. I begin by assisting you in gaining a sense of empowerment and clear plan to move toward or return to your true self. I provide space for you to break down self-destructive thought and behavioral patterns often caused by a history of trauma, abuse, or loss. You soon begin living your potential with improved body, mind, and soul connection. In couples therapy, I assist in healing the partnership by regaining connection and establishing shared meaning for more consistent positive interactions and fulfilling relationship.

I am an experienced Licensed Clinical Social Worker specializing in mood disorders, trauma, infertility, family conflict, sexual abuse, and relationship difficulties (including domestic violence). I am bilingual in Spanish and am sensitive to the cultural aspects of Latino/Hispanic clients. I treat clients suffering from depression, chronic stress, anxiety, Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), infertility and post-partum issues. My style is warm, compassionate, and direct, and together we will work together to find your unique voice and inner wisdom. I believe that each client is an expert on their own life.

The one thing you can always count on in life, is that it will always change no matter if we are ready or not. Whether there is a struggle with trauma, depression, anxiety, a difficult transition in your life, or feeling overwhelmed, it is important to set aside time just for you; to explore, heal, and learn in an environment free of judgment or assumptions. Therapy is a way to be heard, emotions validated, and to gain a new perspective that will allow you to move forward.
