Therapists in Sugar House, Salt Lake City, UT

If you have hit a wall in your relationships, with your health, or are struggling with past trauma and self worth, it's time to collaborate with a caring provider who can help transform the heaviness that interferes with your sense of purpose and connection. Using your insight into yourself and my insight into psychology and wellness, we will work together to identify the patterns that perpetuate pain and stagnation, shifting you toward healing emotional wounds, and creating powerful strategies for recovery. Serious depression, anxiety, the breakdown of relationships or individual health, call for heart centered attention.

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.

The goal of my practice is to provide presence, emotional safety, and neurobiological understanding of my clients' nervous systems and mind-body connection, to promote better understanding of their mechanisms of adaptation and inherent wisdom. Through this compassionate inquiry, parts of ourselves have the opportunity to reintegrate back into our system of wellness after fracturing off from trauma and dysfunction. This approach embodies the philosophy of my practice: living an Essence Aligned life, where your inner intelligence and wisdom is the driving force, empowering a life of your own creation.

Whether your challenge is new or longstanding, change is possible, especially given the right kind of help. I help my clients develop the awareness, skills and courage to create this change. Utilizing evidence-based techniques, I provide a therapeutic experience tailored to your unique circumstances. Collaboratively, we focus on alleviating your distress while developing the skills to lead you to a rich, meaningful life. Therapy can be both challenging and rewarding; I provide a nonjudgmental and supportive stance, grounded in clinical expertise, to aid you in this process.

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.

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).

Let me guess, you've been in therapy for years and nothing has helped much? You are not alone. Mental health treatment has failed clients who suffer from complex developmental trauma. This is the trauma that happened as a child and there was no escaping the day to day nightmare of not being kept safe. These clients do not benefit from traditional cognitive-behavioral treatment approaches and talk therapy. They likely have high levels of dissociation and a chronic sense of disconnection from themself and others. They have had to turn on themselves in order to survive the unimaginable. It is time to return home to yourself.

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.

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.

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 don't know how to stop hurting. I don't know how to help him. I don't know how to get anything to change. Whether it is a problem you are experiencing with yourself, your child or another loved one many people have these thoughts. When the thoughts become overwhelming and impact your quality of life, it is time to change. Anais Nin wrote, "And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom."

After living and working in UT for 17 years, I have relocated to CA and am providing telehealth, with in person visits every 6 weeks. I have 20 years experience treating eating disorders and work within multidisciplinary teams to provide a high level of care, outpatient. My practice has consistently been 95+% eating disorder clients, who also present with anxiety, depression, self-harm and related behaviors, PTSD and/or relational trauma. I approach eating disorder treatment with a strong focus on both physiological and emotional recovery, and am able to treat those with mild to severe eating disorders within the outpatient setting.

CBT and Exposure and Response Prevention methods can be tailored to the needs of any individual seeking freedom from fears and compulsions. BioBehavioral Interventions is a practice based on the wonderful fact that you can change your brain chemistry with your behavior. This approach is successful with General Anxiety, Specific Phobias as well as Social Phobia, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Panic Disorder and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. I work with families and couples, who share in the distress of these often debilitating disorders. I have treated children as young as three, and adults as old as 89, and all ages in between.

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 specialize in working with children, teens, and adults who struggle with depression, anxiety, trauma histories, grief and loss, family stressors, and other issues. I also have extensive experience working with teens and children with autism and learning difficulties, as well as those who struggle to cope with their strong and changing emotions.

Reaching out for support is hard. You are brave for being here! My name is Julia Ewanowski. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and I also have my Masters of Public Health. I specialize in perinatal mental health, or mood and anxiety changes that happen before, during & after pregnancy, perinatal trauma, OCD, grief & loss, infertility, parenting struggles, adoption and relationship conflicts. I also treat the mental health conditions that can accompany chronic health conditions, health-related traumas, terminal illness & caregiver burnout.

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.

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.
