Domestic Abuse Therapists in Sugar House, Salt Lake City, UT

I provide individual, couple and family therapy as well as substance abuse and mental health evaluations. There are many different methods I may use to work with the particular problems that you are addressing. The length of time you spend with me varies depending on the particular problems that you are experiencing.

Working from a Solution-Focused approach I find that helping clients find alternative ways of handling all they struggles of everyday life.

Navigating through the difficulties in life can often feel overwhelming. The journey of understanding, processing, and healing can seem daunting. You do not have to travel that path alone. If you are looking to move forward with your life, break feelings of being stuck, or better understand your place in the world then therapy can help tremendously. Trauma, crisis, loss, anxiety, and depression are only a few examples of barriers that be overcome within our therapy. Together, we can work to achieve the life that you want to have.

I have a down-to-earth, non-judgmental approach to therapy. My hope is to put people at ease when they are working through issues that are deeply personal and difficult. I'm comfortable talking about sexuality, drug use, abuse , suicidal ideation, relationship issues, and conflicts with religion, etc. I like to help people increase awareness of themselves and others and to increase their ability to connect to what is important to them. I use EMDR, Sand Tray Therapy, and DBT to support clients connecting to their emotions, learning from experiences, and creating a life worth living.

Perhaps relationship difficulties and losses, infidelity, divorce, abuse , sexual trauma, and/or other's needs and expectations have left your heart and soul feeling broken and burdened? You may be struggling with depression, anxiety, and other mood issues as a result. Do you long for healing and empowerment? Do you long to remember who you really are, what you really want, and how to get your life back on track? Are you ready to heal your relationship with yourself, others, and other important aspects of your life? I believe the solution to your challenges lies within you, within your true identity and nature, coming from the brilliance and wisdom of your authentic self and spiritual presence. You just need support accessing your innate ability to heal and develop.

Throughout this human experience, we often need support when we feel lost, afraid, or stuck. I believe in every client's ability to connect with their inner wisdom, identify their strengths, and develop a deeper understanding of themselves.

Online Telehealth Therapy... I enjoy various approaches to mental health and self-care. I enjoy many pints of ice-cream, bath bombs, a good book, spending time outside, and working out. Most importantly I believe we owe it ourselves, to make sure we are being taken care of and nourished, too, through our own mental health care. My approach to treatment is tailored to fit each person’s specific goals and needs, and I provide a comfortable and safe space for people to express themselves and work through their therapeutic experience.

A clinical social worker with 17 years experience, Chad Anderson has successfully helped children, adolescents, and adults from all races, faiths, and sexual orientations work on individualized goals ranging from improving relationships, alleviating depression, reconciling faith with sexuality, managing addiction to avoid relapse, living with difficult mental health conditions, managing life change, and more. Chad wants to make sure you leave every session with something concrete to work on so you can notice changes in your life now, and recognize progress over time. Each client is given an individual treatment plan.

I enjoy working with people from all walks of life, learning their stories, and helping guide them towards their own goals. I think that anyone can benefit from therapy, and I especially enjoy working with people who have identified a different future for themselves, one with less pain or anxiety or that heavy depression, less trauma shadowing them, less pressure to look a certain way, believe a certain way, love a certain way, or be a certain way. I love working with clients to find a door, something to open towards change and growth and their own version of peace, whatever that might mean to them.

I enjoy working with adults who are dealing with the after-effects of chronic trauma throughout childhood. This can mean high levels of emotional reactivity, intrusive memories of difficult past events, and difficulties in obtaining and maintaining important interpersonal relationships. My ideal client is looking for ways to feel safe and secure in the world and to, as Dr. Marsha Linehan would say, "build a life worth living." I also feel confident working with clients experiencing depression, anxiety and other interpersonal issues.

I'm often told that I'm easy to talk to. I have had my own struggles and I know how scary it can feel to be so vulnerable and uncertain of who to trust. I'm honored to have worked with so many people over the years in the most dire of circumstances and to have witnessed them transform their experiences into a life of purpose. I have worked extensively with teens, families and women in crisis. I have worked with many people suffering from schizophrenia and other related disorders. This was an eye opening experience in understanding how the mind works.

Being a teenager can be tough. Being a parent of a teenager can be even more so. Because this is such an intense developmental period, when you realize you need some outside help, finding the right person can be tricky. Over the past sixteen years, I have connected with teens, young adults and their parents to help them find their way to stronger relationships and a solid sense of self. I help teens and young adults with addiction, eating disorders, anxiety and depression, communication and life skills, family relationships, trauma, social media anxiety/isolation, and more.

Hi. Clients come to me because they want to see changes in their life quickly. I can help them get the results they want without spending years and thousands of dollars. I consider myself honored to witness the stories of courage and resilience from my clients every day. You'll make progress quickly because I'm confident you're doing some things right already. I've learned that life is complicated and each person is unique. There isn't just a one-size fits all formula for solving life's problems. It takes creativity, drive, and tenacity to pull through.

With over 25 years of experience as a Counseling Psychologist, I am currently in Private Practice and work with a broad spectrum of patients. I have extensive training with children, adolescents, adults, couples and families and provide support and practical feedback to help my patients effectively address their personal life struggles. If you're looking for extra support and guidance to deal with a current challenging situation or ready to move forward in a different direction in your life, I welcome the opportunity to work with you to help you achieve your goals.

Many people come to my office saying: "Nothing ever changes in my life"; "I'm not good enough"; "I work so hard! Where is my success?"; "Why can't I get along with my partner?"; and, "I feel so alone." In each of these settings, I use a fun-loving, real and powerful approach - using evidence-based therapies and effective interpersonal skills - to validate, accept and support my clients in achieving their goals. I do this by teaching them skills to enjoy their life and relationships, and regulate intense physical, spiritual, mental, and/or emotional thoughts and behaviors.
