Art Therapy in American Fork, UT

Hello! My name is Juliane and I’m an Associate Clinical Mental Health Counselor. Through personal experience with loved ones struggling with addiction, abuse and divorce, I have learned pain in life is inevitable; I have also learned suffering is not. My passion is to support and help people to relieve as much suffering as possible through sharing tools to make life more manageable and meaningful, even through times of uncertainty and distress.

I am a licensed clinical child psychologist specializing in utilizing state of the art assessment and therapy techniques to detect and treat learning disabilities, ADHD, and other emotional/personality issues which may hinder a child's learning experience. In addition, our clinic performs infant developmental testing and kindergarten readiness evaluations. As a parent of five children, I understand the many issues that we face on a daily basis with our children and I strive to assist parents with finding answers to problems facing their family system.

I am a compassionate individual who is willing to sit with individuals in their struggles and pain to enable them to reach their optimal level of health. I see therapy as a valuable tool to help individuals overcome their limitations and reach an optimal level of mental health. I assist my clients in connecting with their inner strengths and seeing themselves differently and more clearly see their potential through a combination of compassion, insight, and utilizing the latest techniques in mental health treatment. I strive to create a safe space for kids and adults to come and be able to express themselves using art and play.

Giving ourselves permission to feel is the first step towards being kind to our minds. Therapy is for everyone. Whether you are feeling burnt out, overwhelmed, sad, frustrated, or confused, you're not alone. My goal is to create a space that is welcoming and non-judgmental where you feel heard, validated, and safe. Together, we can celebrate your authenticity and find empowerment for a life full of meaning. I love working with children and teens who are experiencing anxiety, depression, perfectionism, faith transitions, eating disorders, body image, and LGBTQ+ issues.

We ‌like‌ ‌to‌ ‌meet‌ ‌people‌ ‌where‌ ‌they‌ ‌are. ‌Trauma can sometimes leave us wondering‌ ‌“what‌ ‌is‌ ‌wrong‌ ‌with‌ me?“ We believe a better question is‌ ‌“what‌ ‌happened‌ ‌to‌ ‌you?” ‌In our practice, we view clients in that way. ‌Everyone‌ ‌has‌ ‌a‌ ‌story,‌ ‌a‌ ‌story‌ ‌that‌ ‌makes‌ ‌them‌ ‌unique. ‌Our interest is in understanding what the story is and how to use a‌ ‌story‌ ‌as‌ ‌a‌ ‌strength‌ ‌rather‌ ‌than‌ ‌a‌ ‌fault. ‌Even though it seems easier said than done, and it also takes time, we believe any client, from kids to adults, can get there with patience and understanding. Play therapy helps that healing process.

Anxiety is a common issue that can affect anyone at any time. Life transitions, such as the birth of a child, starting college, the loss of a loved one, or starting a new job, can be difficult to navigate. Stress is a natural response to the demands of life, but it can become overwhelming if left unmanaged. Grief is a natural response to loss and can be a difficult emotion to process. I want you to know that I see you and I am here to help you gain the skills necessary to help you on your healing journey.

In our fast-paced world, life's demands can feel overwhelming. Your anxiety and depression might reach a breaking point, urging you to retreat into solitude. You're NOT alone. I've helped others in similar situations. Daily challenges can confound you, leaving you unsure of your path. This is where teletherapy comes in. Simplify the connection utilizing technology and together, we'll unearth healing, acceptance, and understanding. You needn't tackle this journey solo; together we can heal from the comfort of your home.

I hold passion for helping individuals of all ages through various life challenges, such as depression, anxiety, trauma, self-esteem, relational issues, exploring sexuality, behavioral issues, life changes, etc. I hope to help them instill more helpful habits and for them to understand their innate resiliency to cope with their mental health difficulties.

Working with individuals experiencing anxiety and/or depression is my passion. I want to offer tools and coping skills to help live a fulfilling life despite the challenges that depression and anxiety bring. I have specifically noticed a rise in anxiety and depression amongst teens. I love helping this age group in giving them the best start at life possible, and assist them in building self-confidence and love for themselves as they go through this exciting stage of self-discovery. Helping women and young women discover their value and worth is the greatest reward in this life.

Is your trauma or excessive worrying getting in the way of you living your best life? Are you a parent who is heartbroken because your child has experienced trauma? You, or your child, deserves to find your own unique healing journey that provides peace and a future you love. Trauma can often make us feel stuck in the past. Many people wonder if therapy will even help or if it is too late! You may find yourself not wanting to try therapy because you don't want to rehash the past or relive it. I don’t believe therapy has to be this way. In fact, therapy can be about us creating a future that you are excited to have.

I believe the power to heal and understand is within our reach, sometimes we just need a reminder of our potential. I have experience working with all ages from school age to adult. I believe in empowering others by helping them gain confidence in themselves through knowledge and skill building so they have the power and courage to conquer their challenges.

Life can be messy, disappointing, disorienting, and challenging at times. John Lennon said, “Life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans.” Isn’t that the truth? Sometimes difficulties are the result of our own choices, sometimes the result of another’s choices, and sometimes the result of the hand life dealt us. No matter the source of your difficulties, healing and growth are possible. As Martin Luther King Jr once stated, “If you can’t fly, then run. If you can’t run, then walk. If you can’t walk, then crawl, but whatever you do, you have to keep moving forward.”

Searching for a therapist is overwhelming. You want to find someone who you can trust in what is likely one of the most confusing times in your life.

Your relationships are suffering—and with all this going on, you're now expected to choose a therapist.
