Therapists in Provo, UT

We are wired for connection. Our desire for connection is inherent; it's just who we are. Sometimes we struggle to connect and know how to interact with people close to us. I believe that knowing how to regulate ourselves and understanding what's happening in us creates space to interact with those close to us in the ways we really want. I believe my clients have in them the potential to find who they are be confident in that so they can be connected and experience life and relationships in the ways they want to.

I seek to help clients who are interested in psychological testing and psychotherapy. I strive to use therapeutic assessment procedures that not only help us arrive at a diagnostic conclusion, but also at place where there is a possibility for a new relationship with the difficult condition itself. In providing psychotherapy, I try to emphasize that life's challenges, even the most painful or uncertain, contain the seedlings of new possibilities. As we approach them together, we can open a door to renewed purpose in pursuit of what matters most to you. Don't quit! We can never exhaust our ability to experience something new!

Sometimes our journey to find our best self feel like a roller coaster ride of highs and lows. When stressors seem overwhelming, a listening ear to share difficult inner emotions can be a safe and soft place to land. Holli has decades of life experiences that have built a deeper understanding of emotional pain, and knowledge of how to cultivate motivation for change and healing. Most everyone has a life story that may need new and healthy chapters to match their higher, authentic, self. Holli had 25 years of working in the social work field serving wounded souls in search of purpose and meaning, before hanging her Therapist shingle.

There are few things in life that bring as much joy as helping people change and grow. I love my work as a therapist and I look forward to helping my clients find confidence and motivation to change and improve their lives. I’m a licensed marriage and family therapist and I work with individuals, couples, and families. I am fluent in Spanish and enjoy working with the Latino population with their unique challenges.

Hey there, I'm Abby, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT). I have experience helping individuals, couples, and families in therapy. I have helped clients address concerns including anxiety, depression, trauma, eating and body image concerns, relational problems (communication issues, disconnection and intimacy concerns, couple conflict, parent-child strain), cultural diversity and LGBTQ+ issues, ADHD, OCD, and religious/spiritual issues. I have also provided premarital therapy to engaged and newly married couples.

I believe people are designed to heal. Sometimes trauma and negative life experiences can make that inherent healing difficult. I will partner with you and utilize the best tools to create the life you want.

I believe we all have life traumas, big and small, and that those traumas affect how we respond to the world around us. I’m a trauma-informed therapist and I focus a lot on self-care as a way to heal. I want you to develop a strong sense of self and become more aware of things that make you the unique, valuable person you are. When you work with me, you’ll develop the skills and knowledge to overcome the barriers that keep you from managing stress and navigating relationships the way you want.

Do you have a strong desire to fully love and be loved?Do you find that something always gets in the way of healthy relationships, whether that’s with romantic partners or friends and family?Maybe you have a partner, but find that you’re always fighting or keeping your distance from each other. Perhaps you feel lost and alone, without purpose or meaning in the world.Many people I work with have struggled with distracting behaviors, like sex or porn issues, which are really about anxiety and a fear of true connection. I help people overcome challenges, so they can find loving connections with themselves, with others, and their faith.

At times life can feel overwhelming, hopeless, and heartbreaking. Most have experienced these feelings at some point, but the conflict, confusion, and injustice of the current era makes navigating such struggles especially challenging. Reaching out to a psychologist is a sign of strength and a powerful move towards hope. I focus on biological, social, and relational aspects of mental health. As a scientist-practitioner, I have worked in universities studying how diverse people and communities create resilience in times of trauma and bring that expertise in my work with clients of diverse backgrounds.

We understand that as humans we are meant to be in relationships; we are wired for connection. Knowing this, it is our goal to work support and facilitate change with our clients in sustainable and lasting ways. We value the influence of the systems in which individuals live, and we find working with the whole system provides (whether in the room or not) more holistic work and healing. We work with individuals, couples, and families through varies challenges and healing processes.

I am a Utah Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 12 years of clinical experience in working with children, adolescents, and adults.

Each relationship's story has successes and struggles. I believe some of the most powerful personal healing happens in relationships since many wounds (e.g., mental, emotional, attachment, etc.) are also rooted in relationships. My efforts focus on accessing that healing by exploring underlying beliefs, wounds, and fears that get in the way of you feeling connected with yourself, your partner/spouse, and others in your life.

I strive to be relationship focused in all I do as a counselor, even in my individual work. I believe the research and have observed how loneliness hurts: we thrive when connected and struggle when isolated. I utilize EFT and the Gottman Method with couples; I focus on family work with children because individual play therapy is often unhelpful, in the long-term; Filial Play Therapy and PCIT are my favorites models for parents with their children. I utilize ACT and Arbinger principles in most of my work. I foster connections with my clients but especially between clients and their people, including their spiritual Connection.

Karen is passionate about her work in helping children, adolescents, and adults heal. Karen brings a wealth of life experience with her. She understands women's issues and the struggles they face including complex issues of infertility, children's resiliency after a divorce, raising blended families, and helping children heal from abuse.

My primary goal is to help restore the power of the individual, to the individual. It is difficult to create ourselves to our true self until we uncreate the thinking and believing that is causing our distress because "whatever we resist, persists." To empower those I work with to see acceptance as a possible way out of their distress by realizing their true control in any given situation. This begins to uncreate the old thinking and responses that lead to further distress. To help those heal to freedom by removing danger, not increasing it, by providing effective tools of creation through improved thought, word and action.

Many people feel unhappy and disconnected from themselves and the people they love. If you are wondering if there is anything you can do to strengthen yourself and your relationships, there are answers. New coping skills can help you see yourself and your relationships differently, new brain techniques can help resolve old traumas, and current research can bring understanding. It's never too late to look at your life differently and change what's happening in your world.
