Polyamory and ENM Therapists in Springville, UT
Hello, I'm Marshall! I've been a counselor for about ten years now, and no matter what your mental condition or issues might be, you won't find judgment from me. But you will find expertise with a friendly human who takes good care of his own mental health and is also highly capable and ready to help. We'll first figure out what your hopes and goals are and then will carve out the easiest, most effortless path to getting there. This can be painful but works best as we prioritize uncovering your core self and identity. I help you to subtract what you are NOT so that you can easily see the powerful being you were all along.

Therapy provides a safe space to explore and understand your experiences. My approach is grounded in compassion and attunement, helping you connect in a non-judgmental way. Healing happens when you feel supported enough to face what’s showing up, even when it feels difficult.

Finding the right therapist can be difficult, especially if you feel you don't fit the mold. While I have years of experience working with those from a variety of religious and cultural backgrounds, I believe that having a therapeutic space free from undue religious influence or judgement is ideal for growth and change. The Therapy Inn hopes to provide that safe environment where those from any background will feel welcomed, understood, and respected regardless of world view, religious affiliation, gender identity, sexual orientation, or how you take your coffee (or don't.)

I'm not interested in being your therapist for the next 10 years. My approach helps couples and individuals heal and achieve their goals in months, not years. I am direct and directive as a therapist. I'm not interested in beating around the bush or endlessly playing whack-a-mole with symptoms. I want to get to the core, the root, and help you heal that. I recognize healing doesn't come with just talk; it requires action. I bring in new tools, skills, knowledge, and homework for you to use and practice.

If you're feeling overwhelmed, anxious, shut down, or like you’re constantly trying to keep up but can’t quite get there, I'd love to help.

Everyone experiences ups and downs in their life, but sometimes these ups and downs get a little less "rolling hills" and a little more "roller coaster."

In our sessions, I strive to create a warm, non-judgmental space where you can safely explore what's holding you back.

I'm a relationship specialist. I work with couples who feel disconnected, stuck in the same fights, or are healing after infidelity — as well as those navigating faith transitions, non-traditional relationships, and questions about identity or sexuality. I co-developed Self-Determined Relationship Therapy to bring together the most effective parts of proven models — EFT, Gottman, IBCT, ACT, IFS, and more — and adapt them to fit you, instead of fitting you to any single model. People are a lot like plants — a shade plant doesn't struggle in direct sunlight because it's broken, but because it's in the wrong conditions.

I believe there is a space for everyone in therapy. No matter what challenge you are facing, you have a place in counseling. I am a supporter of awareness, acceptance, and different perceptions. There is much power in those tools and understanding them. Bring who you are to therapy, and I will help in every way possible to get you to a place of healing, self-love, and the discovery of the power of mental health. There is something to be said about struggle and what it does to a person, what it makes a person. With the correct tools, struggle does not have to define you.

Ex-Mormons, Lifestyle, open relationships, Swingers and otherwise “sexual experimenters” are a big majority of my clientele because they are highly motivated and want results. That said, I’m really in the human behavior and brain science business. It's difficult if not impossible to develop self-confidence and enjoy the pleasures of sexual expression(s) when elements of trauma, shame, and beliefs that you “can’t or shouldn’t” are present. It’s a rare person who hasn’t had their sexual beliefs hijacked at some point to where they “just can’t do it” (whatever that may be) by sheer force of will.

In my mind, the ideal client is someone who has recognized that some aspect of their life is no longer working and is ready to take steps to restore balance. This person is seeking help to get their life back on track. I enjoy working with a variety of clients, including individuals, couples, and families. The people who seek counseling to validate that change is necessary, and who desire professional guidance to collaborate in identifying their natural strengths (or at least their potential capabilities) to overcome difficulties, tend to be goal-oriented. My hope is that my warm and inviting office atmosphere, and a safe space.

Most of the people I work with don’t appear to be struggling. They’re successful, dependable, and keep showing up for everyone else. But beneath the surface, they’re carrying anxiety, stress, emotional exhaustion, or the effects of past experiences that never seem to fully go away. If you’ve been pushing through, overthinking, or feeling disconnected from yourself, therapy can help. Together, we’ll better understand what’s keeping you stuck, strengthen your coping skills, and help you move toward a calmer, more fulfilling life.

Together, we’ll create a safe space to process difficult experiences, build coping skills, strengthen relationships, and reconnect with a sense of identity and purpose.

Open Relationships Non-Monogamy Therapists
Why might an individual want to see a therapist specializing in open relationships and consensual non-monogamy?
A client seeking help with an open or consensually non-monogamous relationship will prefer to talk with a professional whom they can count on to be nonjudgmental. Talking with a supportive therapist may on its own help relieve some of the stigma and challenges partners face. That said, the most important factor in the success of any type of therapy is the ability of the client and practitioner to form a strong, trusting bond. For this reason, an individual or couple could find success with a therapist who does not specialize in non-monogamous relationships but with whom they can build trust.
When should open or consensually non-monogamous partners seek counseling?
Like other couples, polyamorous partners typically seek counseling when they face relationship challenges they can’t solve themselves. In non-monogamous relationships, this could include breaches of trust, including infidelity; unclear rules or violations of boundaries; jealousy of outside partners; the stress of juggling the needs of multiple partners; or the effect of high partner turnover on children. Like those of other couples, polyamorous bonds can be threatened by increasingly frequent arguments, poor or dysfunctional communication, diminished emotional or physical intimacy, or the feeling that something is wrong, even if they don’t know what it is.
Do therapists have special training to gain expertise in open relationships and consensual non-monogamy?
No, but individuals seeking help with non-monogamous relationships would most likely consult a licensed professional with specific training in couples counseling or couples therapy. Couples counseling and couples therapy both involve teaching concrete strategies to navigate conflict in relationships. A good therapist can engage both partners as they explain these approaches but can also work with a single partner.
How long does therapy for consensually non-monogamous couples typically last?
Couples therapy for any type of couple, tends to be relatively time-limited, lasting around 12 weeks on average. A good therapist will tailor sessions to the individual partners’ emotions and sometimes their past, along with patterns found to be repeating in the relationship. In many cases, clients should expect their therapist to assign “homework” between weekly sessions.
