South Jordan, UT 84095
I work with youth, adults, families and couples, struggling with Depression, Anxiety ADHD, Behavioral issues, Adoption and Attachment, Faith crisis, Trauma, Anger and LGBTQIA issues.
Every individual has inherent value, strengths and gifts. I use compassion and a variety of clinical interventions to help my clients work through the challenges that are preventing them from experiencing life in a more fulfilling way. Too often we succumb to the narrative that we are not good enough, flawed, broken. You may have suffered due to trauma and harm inflicted by others or a painful life event. We will work together to help you recognize their own resiliency, heal trauma and harmful messages and gain effective coping strategies.

Counselor, ACMHC

I don't think that therapy is about fixing what’s “wrong” with you, but about understanding how your experiences have shaped you and learning how to move forward authentically into a space where you can experience healing. I work with people who are tired of carrying their load of anxiety, compulsive behavior, and depression. Many of my clients show up feeling anxious, disconnected, overwhelmed, or unsure why things that “should” be working simply aren’t. My role is to help you slow things down, make sense of your experiences, and walk in to authenticity with you, leaving you feeling more aligned and connected to yourself.

I work with children, teens, and adults. Much of my clinical works focuses more on helping the person, not on giving a label. Hope and trust are crucial in working with a therapist. Finding the right fit, the right type of experience, and the right connection is what builds this hope.

Have you ever said to yourself, "I know I need to do this for myself....., But, I can't". Then then we come up with reasons why; "it is too scary", "I am not competent enough", "I am too tired", "it is too difficult", or maybe even, "I just don't care". We have these internal conflicts that appear in our lives almost daily, If we don't resolve these internal conflicts as they arise they become bigger and more impactful in our day to day functioning, and we can get to a point where we feel "stuck" or trapped in our own lives. We can even get so stuck we start avoiding basic human needs.

Heidi Brunner Densley
Marriage & Family Therapist, PhD, MFT
South Jordan, UT 84095
Overcoming trials, wounds and weaknesses is one of the hardest things we can do in life. Whether it be individually, as a couple, or as a parent, facing our challenges will be our only path to happiness. There is no "around" the struggles of life, there is only through. Without a navigating source, the path often feels impossible to find. I believe in people's ability to grow, to change and live in a way that leaves no regrets. We are not meant to go through life standing alone - healthy connection is happiness, that connection must often start with ourselves.

You’ve done your best to cope, but your body still feels on edge, shut down, or easily overwhelmed. Past experiences, intrusive thoughts, and mental rumination continue to show up in ways you don’t always understand, especially in relationships, anxiety, or self-trust. Therapy can help your nervous system feel safer so real change can happen. I’m Mindy Morgan, a MSWi in Utah. I love people, and I truly care about my clients. I am told I am easy to talk to and connect with, and that I am genuinely compassionate. My style is warm, collaborative, empowering, and grounded in research-based treatment.

Adoption Therapists
Does my adopted child need therapy?
Not every adopted child needs therapy. However, many can benefit from seeing an adoption-informed therapist, especially if they were victims of abuse or neglect, appear withdrawn or disconnected, have behavioral or developmental issues (which may or may not be related to their adoption), are struggling with feelings of grief or loss surrounding their birth parents, or find it difficult to establish an identity, a challenge that often becomes most apparent during adolescence.

When should adoptive parents seek therapy?
Prospective parents can benefit from therapy even before an adoption—for example, to voice worries and fears; to reconcile infertility struggles, if relevant; or simply to prepare themselves for parenthood. After the adoption, parents who are struggling to bond with their child; are unsure how to talk about adoption or related issues, such as race; or whose child is dealing with developmental, behavioral, or psychiatric concerns can address these and other issues with the help of an adoption-competent therapist.

Is family therapy appropriate for adoptive families?
Family therapy can be invaluable for strengthening the bond between adoptive parents and children, helping the latter feel more secure in their place in the family. Family therapy can also help adoptive families navigate complex communication issues—for example, parents who feel uncomfortable discussing race with their child, who in turn feels invalidated by their silence, or a child who has questions about his birth parents but avoids asking them out of fear of hurting his adoptive parents’ feelings.

What therapy is not appropriate for adoption issues?
A discredited therapy known as “attachment therapy” (sometimes called “holding therapy” or “rebirthing therapy”) should not be used to treat adopted and foster children, though it was largely designed for this population. Attachment therapy involves restraining, coercing, and punishing the child in order for them to “release” negative emotions and attach to their new caregivers—techniques that are abusive and dangerous and have even proven fatal in some cases.
