Male Therapists in Salt Lake City, UT

For me it comes down to living POWERFULLY by accepting full responsibility for our lives. In that comes freedom. Freedom from addiction and compulsion. Freedom from self hate. Freedom from toxic relationships. Freedom to "respond" rather than "react". Freedom to live in accordance with our OWN values such that, at the end of the day, we're good with ourselves. I'm inspired by such COURAGE on a regular basis. We've all got "stuff". At some point, the question is, "what're we gonna DO about it?" It's a great privilege to do this work. Note: I am not in a position to provide crisis services.

A compassion based approach that honors and collaborates with your own, innate strengths and healing abilities. For some, the work may be learning new skills to better manage and enjoy the challenges of every-day life. For others, it may be the deeply spiritual work of learning to heal the parts of themselves that were wounded in the past.

Everyone comes to therapy for different reasons and in different places in their life. My goal is to provide a welcoming, non-judgmental, and supportive space to my clients that allows for the creation of a healthy therapeutic relationship. I work with adolescents, adults and couples who are struggling with symptoms of anxiety, depression, bipolar, trauma, OCD, and borderline personality disorder (BPD).

You may be feeling stuck; if so, let's talk. I help adults experiencing depression, anxiety, or trauma using a variety of individually tailored approaches. I also help people who are going through life transitions, existential or spiritual crises, or difficulties that are hard to define.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist and a graduate of The Chicago School of Professional Psychology in Chicago with a specialization working with children, adolescents, and families. Whether working with youth or adults, I approach therapy from a client-centered, strengths-based perspective while integrating evidence-based methods. I approach evaluations similarly in order to provide a comprehensive assessment and practical recommendations for the individual.

Now, more than ever, do we need to take care of ourselves...and one another. Whether you are doing therapy for the first time, or the fifth time...you are doing. You are making a decision to not let the circumstances control you, but the exact opposite. You are making a decision to not just survive, but to thrive. Therapy can give you tools you never thought you would need, and perhaps never knew you had all along. Therapy can help you see the difference between things you can control, and things that can only be managed. Remember: you can't prevent the storm, but sometimes all you need...is one umbrella. It is my honor to help out.

Opening up and being vulnerable can be a challenge for all of us, especially as we begin to find ourselves. We all need someone in our corner cheering us on, who is also willing to shed light on our parts that may be holding us back. I am a clinician focused on embracing and celebrating who we are, while identifying areas for growth. There is no greater privilege than witnessing a client transform into someone who loves their authentic self. Adolescence and young adulthood are times for exploration and growth, I look forward to meeting each version of my clients.

I help those who are tired of feeling trapped, constantly living a step away from what they really need. If you want to reclaim your peace, rebuild your confidence, or feel like yourself again, reach out. My clients find renewed hope as they face strong feelings in a safe way, uncovering both hidden issues and hidden strengths. Due to low availability, I limit new cases to those with issues where I’ve brought the best results. Trauma survivors (both women and men) and women, specifically, who are dealing with other issues such as anxiety, mood, chronic pain, or the effects of narcissistic abuse.

Depression triggered by feeling hopeless and helpless, High anxiety triggered by work stress and feeling overwhelmed with projects , Anger issues because people don’t understand you and you don’t understand people, Trauma because of your experience with abuse and neglect is currently affecting your life, Infidelity because you lack spontaneity and adventure in your relationship, Marital issues because your spouse is not actively listening or validating your feelings, Men issues because you feel nothing is going right in your life, and women issues because you put family/friends needs before your self-care

If you find yourself stuck in the same unbreakable loop, perhaps you need new tools and unconditional support to change. Each client needs a different approach, but all clients need a confidential and judgment free zone if they are going to make real progress. I know that with trained guidance and support, you are capable of navigating any life challenge. Addiction? I will meet you where you are at and develop one on one plan back to health. I also work with non-neurotypical (ADHD, Bi-polarity, Learning Disordered) clients and enjoy helping all humans navigate faith and life transition. (LGBTQIA+ Clients)

I utilize a humanistic approach, recognizing each client as a unique individual, shaped by unique forces, with their own unique story to tell. As such, I employ a personalized treatment framework, working in collaboration with the client to address their specific needs and goals. I believe there is strength and goodness in every person and strive to help individuals access and understand their feelings, gain a sense of meaning in life, and reach self-actualization. My previous work experience includes six years at a children’s hospital serving children and adolescents struggling with behavioral health and substance use issues.

I view therapy as a place for both the patient and the therapist to be real and authentic. Therapy can be a place where we come together to listen to and honor those parts of ourselves that we cut off. Over time, as we come to acknowledge and accept those parts of self that have been left behind, we can come to feel whole again. In this way, therapy does not eliminate every pain or problem, but it is a chance for reducing unnecessary suffering while being kind to ourselves in the face of the inherent struggles of life.

Accepting New Clients! As a licensed clinical psychologist in Salt Lake City, I specialize in conducting assessments for ADHD, memory concerns, and traumatic brain injury. With a warm and compassionate approach, I offer psychotherapy tailored to address depression, anxiety, and trauma. My goal is to create a safe and nurturing space where you can embark on your journey towards healing and personal growth. Utilizing evidence-based techniques, I am committed to helping you thrive and achieve optimal mental well-being.

I am a nationally-recognized expert in mindfulness and cognitive-behavioral therapies for stress-related conditions; in recognition of my expertise, I have received more than $20 million in federal grants to develop new, cutting-edge treatments. I have 15 years of clinical experience working with people suffering from stress, anxiety, depression, addictive behaviors, trauma, chronic pain, and mind-body conditions. I firmly believe that people have the power to transcend and transform their challenges into opportunities for growth and well-being. When appropriate, I engage clients on an existential level, assisting them in clarifying the meaning of their lives.

I see adolescents and adults for psychotherapy, consultation, and assessment. I also see younger patients for psychological testing and assessment. My therapeutic work is guided by the idea that psychological distress is often related to habitual ways of perceiving and interacting with the world--ways that have protected and helped in the past, but now get in the way of living a more satisfying, enjoyable, and meaningful life. I am practical but also value thoroughness and depth. Whether it is something quite specific or a vague feeling that something is wrong, I would love to be in your corner.

Since graduating with a Master's in Social Work from the University of Utah in 1999, I have been actively involved in encouraging clients on the path to healthy change. I believe that every person possesses the ability to solve their own problems. My role as a therapist is to ask the right questions, encourage and celebrate each courageous step in the change process, and provide a non-judgmental space for that change.

I’m passionate about helping gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and queer clients in a variety of areas. I often help clients build and maintain healthy relationships, work through depression, stress, or anxiety, navigate relationships with less accepting family or friends, deal with difficulties surrounding coming out, overcome sexual challenges, and manage shame, discrimination and stigma.

Over the past 20 years I have helped people struggling with depression, anxiety, addiction, grief, loss, past abuse, relationship struggle and much more. At times, life can simply be too stressful. We may face challenges which we never imagined and need help learning new ways to handle these challenges and stress.
