Life brings unexpected challenges and traumas—some brief, others long-lasting. In the midst of this, we often lose touch with our inner voice, neglect our needs, and begin to believe negative core beliefs. This can lead to cycles of anxiety, depression, and difficulty in relationships and daily life. Together, we’ll work to break these patterns, heal from trauma, and reconnect with your true self. My goal is to help you rediscover your inner serenity, strengthen your self-awareness, and build the tools needed for lasting growth and change.

If life has you feeling like Atlas bearing the weight of the sky or Sisyphus pushing a boulder up the mountain, you may have lost the purpose and peace that makes life meaningful. Battles and challenges of existence leave us with invisible weights and chains, stifling our voice, our will, and our inner power. I specialize in working with neurodivergency, caregivers, and women; those learning to unmask and embrace their truth, or those who are navigating overwhelming life transitions and identity shifts. Whatever your needs may be, therapy can be a space to rest, to rediscover your voice, and to remember who you are and once were.

Maybe you've been overwhelmed for a while, or just not like yourself lately. You want to feel better, but feel held back by anxious thoughts and emotions that are hard to manage. Sometimes in life, we get stuck, reliving a difficult past or worried about an uncertain future. I like to help people get back to living in the present. Maybe that's by processing through parts of your story, learning to cope with anxiety, or having someone alongside you as you navigate big life changes. It may look like letting go of shame, or gaining new perspectives on yourself and your relationships. We can work through it together at your pace.

Lori Wood
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, CSW, NASW
Riverdale, UT 84405
I believe that as we set goals, it's important to celebrate the small success stories along your path. As we develop our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors across our lives we question if they feel disruptive or wrong. We all face difficulties with barriers and stressors as we navigate life's complex systems but too often, we dismiss those feelings and struggle on. Taking an active approach is how we process our circumstances and gain back control for personal self-care, growth or happiness. By taking time to reflect on our own needs, you can focus on living a healthier and more fulfilling life with the use of therapy.

Riverdale, UT 84405
Like others, maintaining my own positive mental health is work. This can often mean letting myself feel something and letting it go, or identifying the underlying issue and giving it validation. I believe as an adult, if I don't like something I have the power to change it, whether it is my perspective or behavior. I feel that encouraging that same power for change in my clients can help propel them in a direction towards their genuine selves. Having the peace within ourselves means the opportunity for peace to exist around us.

I work with individuals and couples seeking deeper emotional and sexual intimacy, often while navigating pornography concerns, differences in sexual desire, sexual shame, relationship disconnection, or tension between sexuality and personal or spiritual values. Many clients feel stuck, confused, or disconnected in their relationships or sexual lives. I help them move forward by creating a safe, nonjudgmental space to understand patterns, improve communication, and rebuild intimacy through an integrated approach that honors both emotional and sexual needs.

I am an ERP and Gottman trained therapist who specializes in OCD treatment and couples therapy. I’m highly effective at helping people break free from the rumination, chronic doubt, and compulsions of OCD, including ROCD. I excel helping couples break unhelpful patterns, strengthen connection, rebuild trust, and navigate conflict more effectively together. Lastly, I help individuals/teens with self-esteem concerns, self-control issues, anxiety, depression, and faith transitions. You’re not lazy or broken. You are stuck. Which is a very hard place to be. But breakthrough moments are real, and you are capable of meaningful change.

Healing begins with feeling safe, seen and understood. I know that reaching out for therapy can be one of the hardest steps you'll take and I want you to know you don't have to walk that path alone. As an immigrant, I understand what it means to navigate change, balance different cultures, overcome adversity, and build resilience through life's challenges. Those experiences have shaped not only who I am as a person but also how I show up as a therapist. My goal is to provide a warm, compassionate, and judgment-free space where you feel comfortable being yourself and where healing can happen at your own pace.

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.
