Farmington, UT 84025
While we are born whole and inherently worthy, life experiences, trauma, relationship wounds, and chronic stress can leave us feeling disconnected from ourselves. These experiences often live not only in our thoughts, but within the nervous system, the body, and the ways we relate to ourselves and others. Therapy offers an opportunity to gently process these experiences, cultivate resilience, and reconnect with your inner wisdom. For over a decade, I have worked with individuals, families, and couples, supporting clients through anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, life transitions, motherhood, self-worth, and personal growth.

I work to help people get unstuck from difficult phases of life or difficult patterns of thinking/feeling. Clients may be struggling due to past trauma, addiction, compulsive/impulsive behavior, negative thoughts or self-beliefs, low confidence, low self-esteem, anxiety, fear, depression, and other struggles in life. I know it is hard to make the decision to reach out for help that first time, but it could be such an important step for your future. If I can't help I'll work with you to find someone who can.

Darren Elkins
Marriage & Family Therapist, MS, LMFT, SAP
Farmington, UT 84025
I believe that if someone is willing to be honest with him or herself and is willing to change, then all things are possible. I work hard to help people find their own answers. If I were looking for a therapist, I would want to be sure that the therapist would be a great listener, would be willing to accept my values, and would be able to guide me into solutions for my problems. Those are the qualities I work hard to bring into therapy. Not very many therapists have emphasized men's issues in their practice. I help men understand themselves, and women seeking to understand their partner or other important people in their life.

I've seen how when one person is struggling in a family, everyone can feel it. I use relationships and effective communication to help people express their feelings and better their connections to find peace and happiness as they learn to navigate their emotions and hardships in life. Healing can happen, and it often comes through finding unity with others and within.

I specialize in working with athletes facing mental health challenges, sports performance blocks, and identity struggles.
I specialize in accessing the deeper parts of the brain where emotional and performance-related blocks are stored—often beyond the reach of traditional talk therapy. This is especially effective for athletes who feel “stuck” despite hard work and commitment.

Additionally, I have taken 2 specialty Brainspotting trainings for sports performance and trauma.
You push your limits in the mountains, but inside it can feel like you're carrying a weight no summit can lift. Whether you're facing anxiety before a big objective, struggling with trauma from an accident, grieving someone in your outdoor community, or feeling stuck in a complicated relationship with food and your body, you don't have to navigate it alone. I work with mountain athletes like climbers, skiers, runners, bikers, and guides who are dealing with the mental and emotional challenges that often come with living close to the edge. I understand how the mountains can be both a refuge and a place where deep pain can surface.

Sports Performance Therapists
How does sports psychology work?
Sports psychology helps athletes identify and overcome challenges, such as perfectionism or a fear of failure, and improve key mental skills, such as confidence or concentration. By applying principles and techniques from psychology, such as goal-setting, visualization, positive self-talk, and emotion regulation, sports psychologists help athletes improve their performance on the field and their well-being overall.

How long does treatment for a sports-related problem take?
The duration of sports psychology treatment depends on the athlete’s individual challenges, goals, the complexity of the interventions used, and even on the length of the season. A performance anxiety issue may be treated with a short-term treatment, like Cognitive behavioural therapy, while issues such as depression, substance abuse, or severe anxiety may require longer-term treatments.

How effective is treatment for sports performance problems?
Sports psychology has been shown to improve performance and help athletes manage their emotions. Sports psychology can be effective in boosting performance, team dynamics, and injury rehabilitation. Over the past decade, nearly every professional sports team in every major sport has added a sports psychologist to its staff. Many colleges have done the same, and even some high school programs have done the same. Olympic hopefuls may consult with sports psychologists starting in elementary school.

What are the limitations of sports psychology?
Sports psychology may have several limitations. Every athlete is unique and may respond differently to sports psychology treatments. Therapy can help an athlete reach their potential; it can help athletes cope with injury and pain, but it cannot change the physical limitations that may be affecting an athlete’s performance.
