Trauma Focused Therapists in Brigham City, UT

Life can be crazy great, yet crazy HARD! Sometimes, despite your best efforts, things don't go as planned. In fact, sometimes life gets completely out of control. Like now. Right? Otherwise you wouldn't be taking this difficult step of seeking help. You aren't sure what happened or what went wrong, but you are sure that this isn't what you thought this season of your life would look like. Our 1st session of therapy won't fix the problems or make them go away...in fact, our 4th session likely won't make the problem go away either, but it will help you find the answers, courage and strength within yourself to keep going and heal.

My therapeutic approach is to help you start where you’re at and help you develop the skill sets you desire to create a meaningful life. I work with children, teens and adults. Working together in a safe environment, free of judgment or bias creates an opportunity for openness and the ability to create the clients desired change.

I offer two distinct services: psychological testing and psychotherapy. As a psychologist, I provide psychological and psychoeducational evaluations to children, adolescents, and adults. Evaluations include a comprehensive understanding of the individual's cognitive and emotional functioning. They target intellectual and academic functioning, learning/memory, executive functioning, personality, and psychopathology. Evaluations may be used for accommodations on standardized exams (e.g. ACT) as well as for Gifted and Talented programs. I also offer Pre-surgical Evaluations, Intellectual Disability Evaluations, and TBI Evaluations. Evaluations may be used to help guide academic (e.g. 504 plans, IEPs, or college accommodations) interventions.

My primary goal is to create a therapeutic space where you feel genuinely seen and understood. In this space, your unique cultural background isn't just acknowledged but celebrated. Together, we will delve into the complexities of your identity and experiences, recognizing how they shape your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Through this exploration, I aim to help you cultivate a deeper sense of self-awareness and self-acceptance. Your story matters deeply. Every aspect of who you are is valid and deserving of respect. Together, we will navigate the challenges you're facing and work collaboratively towards your goals for growth.

ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS: Whatever you resist will persist! I invite those who have an open mind for new ideas and seek to create long-lasting success to start that journey today. I believe that individuals have the right to achieve and be all they desire. We have the power and capacity to make a decision about what we are going to tolerate in our lives. I challenge each of us to get into a great, beautiful state of thinking, and living and fully enjoy the fruits of our labors. I believe that knowledge is only potential power, and we become powerful when we are courageous enough to execute that knowledge.

I provide in-person and HIPAA approved telemedicine. If you need to make sense of things, I ensure a safe, supportive environment fostering understanding, exploration and growth. If you want to learn about yourself and/or approach things differently, together, we'll acknowledge your strengths and use your strengths to develop strategies that will help you learn new/different/adaptive ways to live. Step by step, at your pace, I help you learn, grow and evolve. I practice from a positive, strength-based framework that is client-centered, & solution-focused with no room for shame or judgement.

I offer what other mental health approaches lack: a focus on spiritual solutions and emotional release. A Course in Miracles explains that "the purpose of psychotherapy is to remove the blocks to truth." The section on psychotherapy also explains there is "no order of difficulty in healing." Spiritual solutions have been my preferred intervention for over thirty years, in clients who deal with addictions, chronic depression, personality disorders and more. I prioritize working with leaders, influencers and practitioners to be more effective with others. My training goes beyond the traditional to soul-level discovery work.

As Christian counselors, we believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God, that He came to reveal the Father’s heart & through His life, death & resurrection He decisively accomplished Gods saving work. He engages us in the Divine Relationship that we were created by, for, through and in. We seek, along with you, the client, loving purpose, healing, & direction of the Trinity in the counseling sessions. As licensed therapist, we consider our efforts inadequate apart from the grace & presence of our Lord Jesus Christ. We are blessed & humbled to go to work each day & see Christ working in people's lives in an intimate way.

Having traumatic experiences can completely change your life. If you are struggling with the effects of trauma and it's getting in the way of your mental, emotional, or relational health, I'm here to help you. I use EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) Therapy, a cutting-edge treatment for overcoming trauma to help you go from surviving to thriving. I enjoy using a combination of humor and authenticity to help you face your struggles. We will work together to create therapy goals to help you create the life you've always wanted to lead. Anxiety, depression, eating disorders can also use EMDR therapy for healing

I have an eclectic, client-centered therapy approach which I have developed over the last 15 years. I specialize in addictions, trauma, depression, anxiety, & immigration & hardship reports for the I-601 & I601A. I am trained in several evidenced based practices including Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and trained in Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR). I believe that unique individuals require unique therapy and remain flexible in the methods that can be used in order to provide the best results, keeping in mind that you are the expert on you. I have weekend & after hour appointments.

I work from a strengths-based perspective; helping you to recognize and utilize your strengths to create change and healing within yourself and your environment.

Hurt is a part of healing. Much like physical wounds, mental and emotional wounds also require attention and proper care in order to heal. However your wounds were acquired (relationships, addiction, trauma, loss, depression, anxiety, etc.) I am here to help you heal. I provide a safe, comfortable and wholly accepting space to help you heal whatever past or present wound that may be hurting you. Healing is possible and you deserve to live life without the pain of unkempt wounds and embrace all that you've overcome.

Reality is, feelings of anxiety, pain, sadness, and uncertainty surface for many individuals. Trauma, loss, transitions, relationships, and much more could be bringing these to the surface. Reaching out for help is your first step, and one that I admire greatly. Working along side animals in my office, you will find compassion, love, and understanding. My goal is to help you build skills that allow you to relate more authentically to the world around you. We will spend time reflecting and opening understanding around how you are in relationship to the world, other, and your self. I want to help you feel better, that starts with you.

As a specialist in anxiety, depression, and maternal mental health, I acknowledge the unaddressed concerns surrounding infertility, pregnancy loss, pregnancy complications, and the transition to motherhood. If you're feeling alone, unbalanced, or struggling with overwhelming emotions, I'm here to provide tailored support. Together, we can work towards connection, balance, hope, and healing, ensuring that you feel seen and supported throughout your journey.

As your therapist, I will work from a humanistic approach, which means you are the expert on your own life. My role is to help you move through trauma and ineffective behaviors to more fully understand and respect yourself. This means that I trust your instincts and your body. All of the work we do will be done through a trauma-based lens to encourage self-compassion and challenge shame. Your life going forward doesn't have to be a repeat of your past. We can shift these patterns through becoming fully present in your body and with your emotions. I strongly encourage people to use their intuition to help guide their healing.

As a therapist, I work with children, teenagers and adults at every stage of life. Whether you are struggling with everyday stressors, conflict in your relationships or are in need of healing from trauma I will provide a safe, compassionate, nonjudgmental space for you to begin your healing journey. Our therapeutic alliance will provide you with the insights and tools to make the changes you seek in your life and relationships. I will supportively walk alongside and help you discover a deeper understanding of yourself and the life you desire.

I am an Clinical Mental Health Counselor. I enjoy working with young adults and adults experiencing difficulties with daily living. I have worked with individuals with a variety of mental health issues that include: substance abuse, addiction, LGBTQIA+, depression, anxiety, trauma, PTSD, anger, ADHD, autism, physical disability, and mood disorders. In addition, I have experience working in the public sector for individuals and families which gives me additional knowledge of systems and resources that can be an asset to my clients through a therapeutic lens. I offer a sliding fee scale.

Life comes with all kinds of different challenges and you do not need to navigate them alone. I offer a safe space for clients to be heard, validated, and understood with the challenges and circumstances they are facing. I specialize in working with teens and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, eating disorders, and disordered eating. I use an integrative approach through evidenced based treatments including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) tailored to each client to help them reach their desired outcomes and goals.

In therapy, even a small change in perspective can make a world of difference. I specialize in working with individuals in treating PTSD, addiction, anxiety, and depression. I enjoy working with children and teens as well as parents that are having a hard time parenting.
