Therapists in Utah

I prefer to work with people in the long-term, finding that helps us get to the roots of our difficulties. In part, because there is a deeper connection in the therapeutic relationship. I personally know the value of feeling safe in therapy. Building trust with your therapist is key to embarking on the journey of growth and self-discovery. Compassion and empathy are core to who I am, and I bring these attributes to each session to develop an authentic connection with you. Whether you want to work on PTSD, substance abuse, depression, anxiety, domestic violence, grief, eating or body image difficulties, I am here to help.

Many people struggle with trauma. At times individuals lose sight of their dreams, goals, and sense of self. Flashbacks, dissociation, nightmares, anxiety, hypervigilance, depression, and inability to focus can all be symptoms of trauma. People with trauma struggle with intimate relationships, boundaries, and communication. Many individuals feel alone and misunderstood. They usually want to be close and trust others; however, their trauma gets in the way. Learning to grow, trust, reduce negative symptoms, and learn new coping skills and boundaries are essential to the healing process, so you can live life again.

Colby is passionate about life and about helping others to discover that same passion. He recognizes that we all go through life experiences that shape and form us into who we are today. Through those experiences, we can become stuck, discouraged, overwhelmed, feeling helpless, and hopeless. This can keep us from being able to maximize our happiness and joy. Colby uses a combination of therapy modalities to help us understand why we are the way we are, come to accept who we are, and then challenge ourselves to become our best self through intrapersonal and interpersonal growth.

As a result of my own personal and professional exploration over the last 40+ years, I work most effectively with individuals who have not succeeded in establishing and sustaining nourishing, satisfying, intimate, committed, relationships in their lives.

Life can be tough! Whether you feel like you are trying your hardest, or feel like things rarely go your way, we all go through multiple emotions on a daily basis.

I'm passionate about helping clients reach their potential to grow, change the patterns that no longer serve them, and move past the obstacles in their way.

Your child means the world to you. You’ve worked and invested so much throughout the years for their benefit and well being. Despite all the planning and parenting preparation you did, there are somethings that you weren’t prepared for: Constant arguments at home and meltdowns.

Take a breath... Just s l o w d o w n for a second- You made it this far, which takes courage. Good for you.

It means there have just been too many days where you felt like an observer in your life or like this was the day you would crack under the pressure of holding yourself together. It means you're ready to build a life that feels more rich, full, and meaningful; a life not driven by conflict or fear.
