Hi, I'm Eileen. I'm a bilingual therapist and dance artist based in Salt Lake City, UT. I have 15+ years of experience working with youth, adults, and families in community, clinical, and educational settings. I also continue to perform, teach, and choreograph in the Salt Lake valley. Through my understanding of somatics and movement as well as my interest in recreation, music, yoga, and art my goal is to maintain an open and inclusive multicultural practice aimed at focusing on the strengths and interests of each unique individual. I also create workshops/trainings based on the needs of local businesses and organizations.

Are you worried about your
teen
? Are they acting withdrawn or angry? Are their grades dropping? Are they excluded from their peer group or hanging out with peers that concern you?
I will help you achieve your goal of restoring happiness and inspiration to your child's life. If your
teen
needs support with recovery from prolonged sadness, constant worrying, low self-esteem, drug abuse, sexual assault, self injury or family conflict, counseling can help.

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.

Life is a journey and along the way there are often circumstances that create great pain and trauma that often redirect us down the wrong path.If we try to ignore the pain it only gets worse & the cycle of dysfunction begins! I have learned that we all need help navigating though life's trials, and yet it takes a lot of inner strength to even ask!

Steven McCowin
Psychologist, PhD, JD
Verified
I connect well with
adolescent
males - an often under-served group.
I primarily focus on two practice areas: Working with survivors of serious trauma (combat or other military trauma, assault, natural disasters, accidents, etc.) who suffer from PTSD or other post-trauma issues, and working with adolescents and verbal children who are dealing with behavioral problems, anxiety issues (OCD, panic, etc.), or depression.
Claudine Miller
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, MSW, LCSW
Verified
Our society is constantly shifting, how we interact with one another has changed, and the things we considered “true” may be crumbling. Yes, teens and young adults are the future but what if they (you) are scared and are struggling to figure out how you fit in, and question if they even want to. Trauma, anxiety, and depression can make this discovery a daunting task. Maybe you or your
teen
are overwhelmed and don’t know where to start, staying in bed may sound like the best and sometimes the only option. Maybe you don’t even like yourself let alone love yourself.
Alexandra Starr
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW
Verified
I am an experienced child therapist and my goal is to understand why a child or
teen
is struggling and to help children/adolescents and their caregivers develop skills so they feel more empowered in the areas where they struggle. Caregivers are a vital part of my work with children and I actively involve families in therapy to improve communication and meet goals for improvement. I view therapy as an experiment and I work collaboratively with my clients to achieve progress.
Aurora Green
Pre-Licensed Professional, MSW
Verified
Sometimes life leaves you wondering if you’ll ever feel like yourself again, or if you really know who you are. As a
teen
or young adult, you might be struggling with intense emotions, feeling alone or unsure of your role in the world, or worrying about what you want your future to look like. You might wonder if your friends really like you, or if you even like you. We sometimes need extra help sorting through all of the thoughts and feelings that stop us from connecting with others or feeling confident in life. I offer a down-to-earth and non-judgemental space for you to work through these challenges and build a life you love.
Natalie Lanham

***I currently have a waitlist for new patients*** I believe that therapy is a journey to build a better you. Whether that is moving through trauma, exploring and conquering anxiety, learning sports psychology tactics, raising your child (and dealing with the wonderful
adolescent
drama), fighting addiction, or strengthening your marriage, we're in this together. If you enter my therapy office, you are here to grow. While therapy is a process, it does not have to be a long, drawn out, difficult and treacherous.

Counselor, PhD, CMHC, NCC

Some issues have included depression, trauma and loss, pornography and marital difficulties as well as
adolescent
behavior concerns.
One of the most important things we need in our own lives is balance. This is often difficult to achieve with life's constant demands on our time and energy. Without balance, life becomes wearisome and at times, unmanageable. We begin to wonder if there is meaning in our lives or even if it's "worth the trouble." In the effort to find relief or comfort, we may find ourselves drawn to self-defeating and even destructive behaviors that offer immediate yet temporary relief. There are other options, a different perspective may help. I offer just this to my clients.
Emily Haygeman
Psychologist, PhD

If you are seeking diagnostic clarity for your child,
teen
, or yourself and would like a quality psychological evaluation, I invite you to reach out.
I am currently accepting new clients for psychological evaluation. Therapy is full. I offer a compassionate and integrated approach through a variety of evidence-based modalities. My psychological evaluations result in a comprehensive psychological report, and I aim to "tell the story" of an individual rather than simply assign a "label." All evaluations yield individualized recommendations, and I provide a client-centered, in-depth feedback session aimed at empowerment. I also work with individuals and families with issues around neurodiversity, anxiety, depression, or those simply wanting to build skills towards empowerment.

We offer a secure, web based, video service where you can hold online therapy sessions with a counselor. Are you a parent and concerned your
teen
is becoming more and more unhappy? Is it difficult to talk to or connect with your
teen
? You’re at the end of your rope and every conversation ends up in a fight. Are you worried your
teen
is isolating themselves? It seems like a door is slammed in your face whenever you try to find out what’s wrong? You dread family gatherings because you know it rarely ends well. Are you up at night worrying they are becoming more and more distant and may hurt themselves if something doesn't change?

Counselor, LPC, ACMHC, CCTP
Verified

adolescent
trauma treatment, Bailey is also an Experienced Registered Yoga Teacher (ERYT) and trauma informed movement professional.
Maybe you’re just starting your healing journey, or looking for a change - to meet with a therapist who sees you as a whole person, and not just your circumstances. Maybe you’ve tried therapy before but it feels like no one really gets it, or the things that “should” work just don’t. Therapy with Bailey is a little bit different because we have to do things in new ways to start to think and feel better than before. Based out of Pittsburgh, PA and serving clients in Utah through telehealth, this is truly therapy outside the box.

Teen Therapists
Adolescence can be a time of both disorientation and discovery. The transitional period can raise questions of independence and identity; as adolescents cultivate their sense of self, they may face difficult choices about academics, friendship, sexuality, gender identity, drugs, and alcohol.
Most teens have a relatively egocentric perspective on life; a state of mind that usually abates with age. They often focus on themselves and believe that everyone else—from a best friend to a distant crush—is focused on them too. They may grapple with insecurities and feelings of being judged. Relationships with family members often take a backseat to peer groups, romantic interests, and appearance, which teens perceive as increasingly important during this time.
The transition can naturally lead to anxiety about physical development, evolving relationships with others, and one's place in the larger world. Mild anxiety and other challenges are typical, but serious mental health conditions also emerge during adolescence. Finding a teen therapist in Salt Lake City and addressing a disorder early on can help ensure the best possible outcome.
