Therapists in Ogden, UT

Individual, Couple, Family, & Child Therapy. Effective therapy starts with effective assessment. The greater my understanding of the family challenges/presenting problem the more likely I will be able to help the family/couple/individual find greater success and happiness. I understand that clients are often feeling desperate and hopeless so my goal for a first session is to build hope and begin to offer researched based interventions and ideas that work! Short term, effective, enjoyable therapy services is my goal as a therapist. Most clients report after a first appointment that they feel at ease with my gentle, kind, and supportive approach.

I know the importance as a Therapist to achieve and maintain my own positive mental health. I am a firm believer in self-care; it is my belief that without managing my personal and work life balance, I would not be able to provide the best care possible to those I serve to help. My therapeutic philosophy is an integrative and holistic approach. I tailor the therapeutic approach to the individual and uniqueness of each of my clients.

Even in times of great difficulty human beings are naturally, astonishingly resilient, strong and capable, often more than they know. I provide a safe, friendly, supportive environment where I help my clients tap into their inherent strength and wisdom, sharpen the tools they already have, and discover and implement new ones. I offer guidance and encouragement as they gain clarity from their own experience to identify what is preventing them from actualizing their potential, what is keeping them depressed, anxious, or unfulfilled. I work collaboratively with them to use this insight to develop effective and sustainable solutions. 

Since 2008, I have specialized in working with adults and teens who struggle with depression and anxiety, and who are also trying to better their relationships by overcoming personal barriers. I am skilled and have a strong desire to help those who struggle finding their strength and hope in overwhelming situations. I am also uniquely qualified to help adoptive parents because I am an adoptive parent. I am board certified in neurofeedback training and can help you if you are interested in an alternative technique for better mental health.

Having struggled with disabilities and relationships for most of my life, I have a heart for helping people as they learn to navigate through these issues and many more. Furthermore, I am a Biblically-based Christian, and enjoy working with clients as they wrestle with crisis of faith and/or are seeking to develop in their faith walk.

I love helping a person become their best version of themselves. Most people seeking counseling feel defeated. My strategies help them find hope and to develop new approaches to help them become powerful people with tangible skills to overcome the challenges in their lives so they can have joy and fulfillment. Ideally a client is ready to try new approaches to their life, to accept responsiblity for the consequences of their current behaviors, and is willing to risk failing, as each success is usually preceded by a few failed attempts.

Hello and thanks for stopping by. As a mental health counselor, I am grateful for and passionate about the opportunity I have to help others through difficult times. My specialized training and vast experiences have allowed me to help people and their families learn to make the most of difficult situations, specifically with an ADHD diagnosis, going through hard life transitions, and dealing with depression and anxiety.

Life is a journey and sometimes there are bumps along the way. I believe that sometimes we all need someone to talk to. There are things that may come along that are hard to understand, or painful that you may need someone to help you with. As a strengths-based therapist, I will help you through your journey with skills and changes that can improve your life.

Jerry grew up in Northern South Dakota watching the Missouri River flow by. He joined a federal wildland fire crew and worked on municipal ambulances. He has since lived in five states and now calls Ogden home. Since Jerry's toxic trait is using the analytical mind to avoid emotions he has found great healing in embodiment work. Using movement based healing reconnects us with our intuition and unlocks trauma stored in our body. “As a therapist I am not afraid to walk through the hell of your wounds of fear, shame, and guilt because underneath all this there is an amazing authentic, wise, self.”
