Therapists in Sugar House, Salt Lake City, UT

Therapy can be a dynamic experience creating hope and energy. Facing challenges and grieving losses we inevitably face is a powerful step in moving toward a more satisfying present. I view therapy as a collaboration with you to create your transformation and growth. Our past experiences shape our view of ourselves and in turn our potential in the future. I hope to assist you to "re-author" the stories you have about yourself not serving a positive purpose and replace them with new stories, skills and a vision that do.

I have a strong belief in the possibilities of healing, growth and change within an authentic collaborative client/therapist relationship. I have over 18 years of experience working with individuals and families recovering from trauma, living with chronic illness, working through relationship concerns and facing the challenges of mental illness. Taking the first steps to heal is often difficult, or even painful, however in doing so we can create a "path with heart" and meaning. I take a mindfulness based, goal oriented and active approach to therapy with focus on developing critical life skills.

I believe in therapy! That is why I have worked with people for more than forty years and have many satisfied clients. You can have a great life no matter the issues and feelings you currently have. This possibility may be hard to imagine now, but that is what I help you do. My job is to help you clarify what you want and then to achieve this. Under stress we can all become confused about what path to take, but this is what you come to therapy to discover. With encouragement and support, you can learn to trust your path and solve whatever your current problems are.

Are you stuck? In a bad relationship? A job you don't like? Constantly fighting with your child? Just in a funk? You know you can't go on like this for much longer, but don't know what steps to take. I know how to help you remove the stress and progress. Now is the time to transition from feeling hopeless to finding happiness. You do have options and I my job is to help you discover what those options are.

Are you tired of having people give you cliche quotes about thinking positive to solve your problems? Then I'm the therapist for you. Positive thinking is good and nice, but it does not bring back lost loved ones, curb addictions or make your anxiety disappear. Life is full of a wide array of emotions. Believing that we should only experience the "good" emotions is unrealistic and often leads to more suffering. My role is to help you figure out how to act according to your values in both the good times and the bad, instead of getting swept away in your emotions.

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.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 14 years of experience practicing in various settings and with various populations. I am dedicated to helping all clients feel support and comfort, even during their darkest times. I help clients to find peace, meaningful connections and purpose in their lives.

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.

People come to counseling for different reasons. Some need assistance to change, changing habits or patterns that no longer serve them, shifting focus or reframing experience to feel good again. Some need to heal, from a past or recent trauma, who are dealing with grief or loss. Counseling can speed up the change and healing process. We all need someone to talk with who listens and can accept us as we are, without judgement, to explore ways to make changes that allow us to look forward to the future with hope.

Hi, I am Anne! I am here to help young adults, older adults, and anyone in-between overcome life's obstacles with a side of humor and a heap of empathy. I work with adults who are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, faith transitions, and issues specific to the LGBTQIA+ community. I also have experience working with people in hospice, those with chronic or terminal illness, and caregivers. In sessions I use evidence-based and trauma-informed approaches such as ACT, CBT, ART (Accelerated Resolution Therapy) and several mindfulness techniques.

“"Finding yourself" is not really how it works. You aren't a ten-dollar bill in last winter's coat pocket. You are also not lost. Your true self is right there, buried under cultural conditioning, other people's opinions, and inaccurate conclusions you drew as a kid that became your beliefs about who you are. "Finding yourself" is actually returning to yourself. An unlearning, an excavation, a remembering who you were before the world got its hands on you.” ― Emily McDowell

I work with individuals, and partnerships in Washington state and Utah, to assist with meeting personal and collective goals. It is my intention to support and collaborate to find the best way to address your needs around this process. I work to foster respect for each client and their unique belief and value systems. I work with clients of all ethnicities, gender identities, relationship dynamics, sexual orientations, and religious/spiritual backgrounds. I have experience with and a passion for working with folks impacted by cult groups.

At Green Willow we specialize in working with teens and adults who are struggling with childhood trauma and abuse, PTSD, relationships, women's specific concerns, depression, anxiety, stress, LGBTQ, and life adjustment concerns.

We provide a peaceful and supportive environment to explore past traumas, discuss current concerns, and plan for a more fulfilling future. We believe that each of us has the capacity for healing and growth, and that within us we contain the answers for a more joyful life.

Taking the first step towards therapy can feel vulnerable. As a therapist I strive to create an empathetic and authentic space that nurtures exploration, healing, and growth. With a collaborative and person-centered approach, we'll work together to uncover the tools and strategies that resonate with you. My background and training have focused on trauma, anxiety, life transitions, and self-esteem.

I help individuals with stress, worry, anxiety, depression, and all kinds of emotional and life problems. If you're experiencing emotional distress, you know it can affect your peace of mind, relationships, and work life. Consulting with an experienced counselor is a great way to discuss sensitive issues with an impartial person. Counseling can be helpful in many ways; to solve a problem, make a decision, change behaviors, get support during a tough time, gain awareness, process feelings and explore life issues. Therapy is a unique relationship geared toward your needs, emotional health, and personal growth.

Because you are reading this, you have already taken the first step to make change. I believe the resources you need to meet your full potential are already within you. I help clients find and release their natural talent for healing. Together, we create a safe and supportive environment where you experience 'aha' moments about the obstacles keeping you from what you really want in your life. Friends and clients describe me as "genuine, someone you can trust, down to earth, and easy to talk to." Whether in the office or wilderness, I have devoted my career to helping people.

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.

Every person is unique and valuable, and each offers the world something important. Sometimes the busyness of life, both internal and external, clouds our vision and makes remembering this difficult. As we try to see our way forward we often develop patterns of thinking and behaving that prevent us from fully showing up in our lives. My work is to assist you in challenging your current paradigm, to support you in identifying your true goals and desires, and to affirm you in your process of discovery. I approach mental health work from a person-centered, strength-based, feminist, and multi-cultural perspective. I am LGBTQ+ affirming.
