Amber Stell
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW
Layton, UT 84041
When you’ve spent years caring for everyone else, it can feel almost impossible to turn that care inward. You might appear strong, but inside you feel disconnected — from yourself, your emotions, and sometimes even from the people you love most. At Very Well Therapy, I help you slow down, release shame, and reconnect with the parts of yourself that have been working so hard to protect you. Together, we’ll create space for healing that feels safe, compassionate, and sustainable. I believe healing happens in relationship — with ourselves, our emotions, and others. Many of us have learned to survive by disconnecting from our true self.

Life can be incredibly complex, and at times, we may find ourselves weighed down by persistent sadness, anxiety, or negative thoughts that seem to cloud our ability to move forward. Whether these feelings stem from everyday stressors, unresolved past experiences and traumatic events, or underlying mood disorders, they can shape how we see ourselves and the world around us.

Emily Jean Hackett
Counselor, EdS, LCMHC, NCC
Layton, UT 84041
I firmly believe there is a function to our behavior. Sometimes it's obvious, sometimes not. And sometimes, while our behavior made sense at one time, maybe even to the point of saving our life, it is no longer serving us. We're all just doing the best that we can but sometimes the way we're coping leads to highly negative impacts on our body, mind, spirit, & relationships. A wise mentor once shared with me that our capacity for change comes from our ability (and willingness) to reflect. I seek to empower my clients to gain the tools and self-awareness they need in order to cultivate a sense of peace and personal agency.

Are you struggling with a past trauma or relational wound that you cannot stop thinking about, feeling your memories or looping thoughts are keeping you stuck? I specialize in trauma, PTSD, and attachment injuries, specifically for women who find themselves overthinking, obsessing, and ruminating on the past. Not directly dealing with how trauma gets wired into our brain can leave us feeling depressed and stuck, trying to make sense of what happened to us. Through new breakthrough therapy modalities that help reorganize memory and lessen triggers, we no longer have to be held hostage to our past.

Layton, UT 84041
My clients often come to me feeling that life—whether it's motherhood, marriage, or life in general—hasn't turned out the way they hoped. I frequently hear from new clients: “I feel overwhelmed.” “I’m stuck and don’t know how to move forward.” “I feel like I’m failing my kids.” “I’m burnt out, but I don’t know what to change.” Can you relate? Motherhood is hard, and it can be even harder when you're struggling with guilt, shame, boundaries, and perfectionism. Without support, it’s easy to stay stuck and keep feeding those negative beliefs.

I love helping kids navigate big feelings and anxiety. I’m passionate about breaking down emotional walls and connecting with teens who are struggling—whether it’s school, friendships, self-harm, or just life in general (it's tough being a teen these days!). I also support adults facing life’s challenges, including anxiety, depression, grief, stress, and workplace burnout. My approach to therapy is soft, compassionate, and supportive. Here, we say we bring the "treat" back to treatment. Our sessions won’t always be rainbows and butterflies, but the work we do together will help you or your child grow, heal, and rediscover joy.

Women's Issues Therapists
How do you encourage a woman to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual may be suffering, and what effects it has on them, should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.

How can women prepare for therapy?
Women can prepare for therapy by being willing to talk about their past experiences and their private thoughts. Before a session, an individual may want to reflect on how they’ve felt since the last session and what’s happened in their lives. Between sessions, it can be useful to write down notes about their reaction to a given event or how they felt at a particular time.

How long does therapy for women’s issues often last?
As with any type of therapy, sessions depend on the individual and the challenges they face. Therapy types like Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Prolonged exposure therapy (PET), and Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. In some cases, such as for women with eating disorders, residential treatment may be recommended for an individual who is judged to be at high risk of self-harm. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realized.

How can women overcome stigma around specific challenges in order to seek therapy?
Women dealing with domestic abuse, sexual assault, eating disorders, and any other number of troubles may feel a stigma around seeking help. It’s important to remember that these issues are not uncommon and there is no shame in getting help for them. Therapy is confidential, and women can talk about their experiences without fear of judgment. Seeking therapy can be a courageous and liberating act, and an important step toward healing and recovery.
