Therapists in Utah

Veritas Mental Health provides effective alternatives for understanding and treating depression, marriage counseling, substance abuse, addiction, sexual addiction, pornography use, and other addictive behaviors by exposing and addressing the core issues that result addictions, depression, and unhelath relashionships. As our name suggests, Veritas (latin for "pure" and "truth") specializes in shedding light, educating, and providing healthy alternatives to sometimes hopeless and frustrated individuals and couples who desire relief and healing from unmanageable and uncontrolled behaviors. Our successful therapeutic model has evolved both from research and experience in helping thousands of clients reestablish positive control of their unwanted behaviors and regaining healthy, productive and honest relationships.

My 10 years as a therapist have exposed me to a variety of challenges from deescalating unsafe situations to mediating complex relationship barriers. In my experience trauma can often be found at the core of depression, anxiety, family/spouse conflict, disordered eating, sexual confusion and addiction. All of these challenges can create a sense of feeling stuck, unfulfilled and alone. In some cases, these struggles can be intimidating to address without help. My belief is that therapy acts as a safe place for you to address those struggles in an empowering way; one that gives a sense of purpose, and leaves you feeling connected.

I know you are hurting right now and your heart might feel broken. Whether your pain stems from anxiety, depression, addiction, or relationship issues, I can help with those! You want someone who will respect your LDS beliefs, encourage you to build upon them, and uses sound, true therapeutic techniques based on research and experience. I filter my therapeutic tools through solid clinical principles and Christian doctrine. I work with both adult and adolescent individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues (couples therapy included), and pornography/substance addiction. I want to help nurture your broken heart!

While sometimes life seems to move along pretty smoothly, no one is going to escape dealing with challenging circumstances in their life. Whether you might be dealing with something in the past or a present event, relationships with others and the decisions you make are affected by the emotions you are feeling. As a Certified Mental Health Therapist, I believe that when someone is struggling with mental health related issues, seeking help is the best thing you can do for yourself. Emotional issues are often silent and unseen, but seeking help can provide the support and clarity needed to help you move forward.

I have 11 years of total experience working with high risk adolescents who have struggled with addiction, anxiety based disorders, depression, PTSD and parent child relationship conflict. However, I also see couples, adults and have found enjoyment in helping parents learn better ways to work with their children who struggle considerably emotional distress. I believe that therapy is intended to locate the cause of distress rather than coping only. Proper treatment begins with proper diagnosis. People desire to find a way to get what they want in a healthy and appropriate way.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I have worked in the private practice setting for the past 16 years. In 2010, In SC I opened and managed a private practice centered on helping individuals and spouses struggling with sexual addictions. I frequently work with children, adolescents, and adults and have experience and expertise helping people affected by depression, disruptive behaviors, bipolar disorder, anxiety (including OCD and panic), ADHD, trauma, infidelity, divorce, addictions (substance, pornography, and sexual), and eating disorders. I also work with couples and families to repair and strengthen their relationships.

Our clinic welcomes any addiction recovery patient, and will also provide care for other issues related to addiction, including depression, anxiety, insomnia, etc. We also help treat pain management whether related or unrelated to addiction. We seek to continually help those who seek to adjust their life and live a happy and healthy lifestyle. Our doctors and health care professionals work with you to find the treatment option that is right for you, in a very timely manner, normally within 24-48 hours. We strongly believe that ongoing help and support is the way to beat addiction.

Daily life can be scary, even daunting. For some of us, we have the additional stressors of trauma, loss, loneliness, addiction and loss of purpose. In therapy I strive to help individuals overcome their barriers. Happiness and balance are goals for me. I have experience treating addiction, trauma, depression, anxiety, bipolar, grief, relationship issues and more. Whether you view current barriers to be day to day stressors or intense trauma and PTSD, I can provide support, caring and understanding. My goal is for all of my clients to regain their purpose, feel connection and find more happiness in their lives.

Chances are there is not going to be a quick fix or band aid remedy available to your problem or situation. However, finding the solution does not need to be too far from reach and it would be my intent to make the journey look less daunting. Yet, when it comes to addressing those negative behaviors or addictive traits that often impact our ability to form or maintain a quality of life or healthy relationships. It is important that we are deliberate, calculated, and consistent in our method of treatments. We can start doing this together by creating a space that is conducive with rigorous honesty and vulnerability.

I love to see you and your loved one(s) smile again! My main clinical specialty is treating children, teens and adults who have experienced traumatic events. I have successfully treated depression, anxiety, addiction, affairs, divorce, grief and loss, stress, etc.

Why can't you just quit?! You've asked yourself this question so many times. Struggling with an addiction is exhausting. Despite the guilt and shame, the constant promises to yourself and others that this is the last time, the final "one," you find yourself back in the cycle of your same behaviors over and over again. Each time, you feel a little less hope you will ever be able to make lasting change. You have the best of intentions, you have the desire, you've made the promises to yourself and others. Now what?

Do you feel stuck? Alone? Confused about how to move forward? I provide support to clients who experience mild to significant challenges with day to day activities, whether it be at work, school, home, or in relationships. If you’re going through a life transition, addressing impulsive behavior and/or addiction, or are just in need of some additional support, therapy can be a great change-agent to help you move toward your goals. I use a humanistic, client-centered focus in my therapeutic approach. I believe consistent, transparent and evidence based support is the most effective to help my clients progress through treatment.

When things change inside you, things change around you.

I consider it an honor to have worked with individuals over the past 18 years that struggle with anxiety, depression, childhood trauma, attachment issues, PTSD, substance use disorders, and codependency. I am passionate about helping others explore and heal areas in their life through an open, genuine and trusting relationship. Do you struggle at times to love yourself or to truly love another person? I enjoy assisting individuals connect to and know their inherent worth at a deeper level. I am licensed as both a Clinical Mental Health Counselor and Substance Use Disorder Counselor, along with EMDR and Pia Mellody trained.

We all have an inherent need to make sense of our lives. Psychotherapy addresses this by becoming aware of our unconscious (unaware) patterns. Freud coined the term "repetition compulsion" by which we can unknowingly repeat past experiences. In essence, we want to change but cling to what's familiar. Long-term psychotherapy is my preference as it provides the necessary time and safety for these dynamics to emerge and therefore create freedom if desired.

When certain challenges arise in life, it can be difficult to figure out what the next step is. It can be especially difficult to deal with life's circumstances when you feel like you have to do it on your own, or when you're not really sure where to look for answers. What would it look like if you could find yourself fully empowered to find those answers within yourself? As your therapist, I will stand alongside you and work to help you find healing. Together, we will identify and work through the barriers keeping you from feeling whole and complete... whether those barriers exist in the past, present, or concerns about the future.

As a dedicated therapist, I aim to support individuals navigating mental health challenges through a holistic, inclusive approach. I specialize in addiction, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, trauma, and more, utilizing evidence-based treatments and personalized plans. My clients with addiction work towards sobriety through tailored coping skills and relapse prevention, while most of those with anxiety report improved coping skills. My practice offers a safe space for LGBTQ+ issues, veterans, and spirituality integration, fostering personal growth and emotional stability. Let's work together towards healing.
