Therapists in Holladay, UT

Are you stuck in a picture you created as a child? A picture with children and a blissful relationship? As women, we strive for the "what should be". Sometimes those pictures need to contain fluidity and movement and morph into something that we never expected. Many women experience infant loss, infertility, child loss, perinatal mood and anxiety disorders and don't know where to go, who to ask, or if something might be wrong with you. Some women experience the trauma of the NICU life, a medical termination, and so much more.

Life can be a puzzle, As a therapist, I work with children, adolescents, adults and families to help identify their strengths and help with solving their life puzzles. I have a wealth of experience with mood disorders, anxiety disorders,marital issues, childhood mental health disorders, as well as foster care and adoptive issues. I use individual, family, and couples therapy as needed for the situation. Give me a call and we can discuss if I can help and if not I can find a suitable referral for you.

Do current events have you frazzled? Ever felt like you were in a relationship with someone who wasn't available? Or are you trying to rediscover yourself after divorce, having a child go off to college, or death of a loved one? I help people with all kinds of situations. Whether you are experiencing problems in a relationship, grief or bereavement, depression, anxiety, or a spiritual crisis, there is hope. I am trained in EMDR, CBT, ACT, DBT, Solution-Focused Therapy, psychodynamic theory, and routinely learn from experts in the field. Perhaps most important though, is that I listen.

I am passionate about creating inclusive spaces and helping people on their path toward mental wellness. I enjoy working with a diverse population, including folks who identify as BIPOC and LGBTQIA2+. I use a feminist multicultural lens and believe it is imperative to recognize systems of oppression when working with clients. I work with various people and challenges, including emotional regulation, sexuality, relationships (including non-monogamy), life transitions, faith conflicts, and more. I am also a meditation and mindfulness teacher and often incorporate that into sessions.

I believe that the healing journey can be described using the metaphor of a butterfly. While you are likely familiar with the beginning and the ending stages of the caterpillar and adult butterfly, the magical part is what happens in the middle portion when the caterpillar encases itself in its cocoon - the pupa stage. In this state, it undergoes a profound transformation by breaking itself down into a liquefied state – I like to call this “the Goo.” After the caterpillar goes through the Goo, it emerges as a magnificent butterfly. Each person's Goo is as unique as they are - I can help navigate the Goo.

Millie graduated with her Master of Marriage and Family Therapy in 2017. She enjoys working with families, couples and children.

By providing a safe place, using empathy, insight and knowledge she will be able to help you navigate through your life story to become the person you want you to be.

Are you taking care of your mental health?! Self-care is a buzz word especially since a global pandemic shocked us all out of complacency and feelings of safety. I believe mental health is a daily practice like diet, fitness, sleep and mindfulness that we all need to engage in regularly. An experienced guide and wellness partner can make all the difference! I have 16 years of practice working with a very diverse population. As a gay man living in Utah I understand the challenge of unseen individuals and I have experience working with a varied group of individuals. Certified in Mind Body Medicine and EMDR. Trauma proficient.

I work with young adults, adults, and couples to create healthy changes while diving into deeper work for long-term healing. I feel that a lot of issues that trouble us are related to dysfunctional relationships (both with the self and others) and problematic patterns that develop from trying to cope with issues without the proper tools. I'll work with you to help strengthen your identity, heal past wounds, and form positive relationships and connections. I have experience with family and relationship conflict and provide help with parenting challenges, couple’s issues, sexuality, grief and loss, and self-worth.

When things change inside you, things change around you.

Life offers us challenges and opportunities. Often courage emerges when we reach out for help when life seems overwhelming. I offer my clients a safe space to explore their emotions, relationships, and goals. In my practice, I partner with my clients as they discover insights, access the power of hope, and explore their vulnerability. I work to develop a trusting non-judgmental relationship that allows clients the space to uncover insights that lead to growth and resilience. I enjoy walking with my clients as they discover paths to peace and creativity in their lives.

I have a passion for personal education and cultivating skills for healthy relationships. I utilize trauma-informed, family systems, and attachment-based approaches in therapy. I enjoy working with children, adolescents, and adults. My goal as a clinician is to empower clients as they learn to face personal discontent and work towards preparing themselves for their own fulfilling futures.

We all need support, life brings planed and unexpected change, transitions and requited growth. My clients may feel the pressure of perfectionism, feeling not-good-enough or second guessing themselves, feeling stuck in life. They may have physical or emotional pain and a big stress overload. Often feeling pulled in too many directions, with too many responsibilities, caring for too many projects or people. They can feel lost or adrift, that life is not progressing or as meaningful or happy as they had hoped. Grief & loss build up & worry about the ability to change can immobilize so they often feel stuck & afraid in life.

I am pursuing a Masters Degree in Social Work at the University of Utah. I completed Bachelor of Science degrees in Psychology and Gender Studies. I strive to empower each individual to be the expert in their own experience, recognizing that they possess the strength and resilience needed for growth and healing. I am interested in understanding human behavior and the intricate dynamics of gender & identity. I am working to be a trauma-informed, social justice-oriented therapist. I find great purpose and energy in relationships, and I hope to create a space that emphasizes our shared humanity.

Sometimes life can be painful. When depression, anxiety, grief and loss or stress from a traumatic event interfere with your ability to function at your best, feelings of hopelessness and helplessness increase and self confidence all but disappears. This is when anger, fear, sadness and despair take a toll not only on you but on the relationships with those you love. I can help you examine these difficult feelings in a safe, non judgmental environment. As new ways of thinking and communicating are learned and practiced, your life and your relationships will be deepened and enriched.
