Humanistic Therapists in Utah

My goal as a therapist is to provide a safe space to explore issues that have created significant barriers to growth, healing, and change. If you've experienced a stressful, troubling event that's left you feeling powerless, you may have been traumatized. I utilize the latest research to help those affected to not only begin the process of healing, but learn how to engage and effectively diminish and manage symptoms. I am trauma-informed, with training in mind body bridging, a holistic therapeutic approach incorporating the mind, body, spirit, and emotions that support the healing process. I am also trained in IBSR, and EMDR.

Chelsea holds advanced training in couple therapy (EFT). She understands the negative pattern that couples get stuck in that quickly takes over their relationship; those moments when you say something clearly to your partner and they hear something completely opposite of what your intentions were and before you know it, we are in a fight. Chelsea helps couples to understand those patterns and help to not get stuck in them. Individuals who are seen at her practice, understand distress in their lives and are able to make sense of it and find the tools to move forward in a way that feels right for them.

I deeply enjoy working with adults with ADHD, anxiety, depression, past traumas, and those who want to gain a better understanding of who they are. You may have the experience of feeling disconnected from others or difficulty knowing how you bring value to the world. If you have (or suspect you have) ADHD, you may feel overwhelmed from constantly trying to fit into a box that wasn't made for you. Together, we will explore your struggles, values, history, and strengths to cope with challenges and begin to feel more connected with yourself and those you care about.

Giving ourselves permission to feel is the first step towards being kind to our minds. Therapy is for everyone. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, sad, or confused, you are not alone. My goal is to create a space that is welcoming and non-judgmental where you feel heard, validated, and safe. Together, we can celebrate your authenticity and find empowerment for a life full of meaning. I have training in experiential therapy and trauma-informed yoga and am passionate about mind-body connection, art therapy, sandtray, play therapy, intuitive eating, body-neutrality, gender-affirming therapy and more.

Having obtained a master's degree in marriage and family therapy, my goal is to inspire hope and serve those who desire deeper connection with themselves and others. My clinical development and training have led me to work with couples who have interest in repairing or improving their relationships, and individuals who desire deeper levels of self-acceptance and compassion to improve well-being. I use emotionally focused therapy (EFT), and internal family systems (IFS) which are evidence-based approaches. I focus on highlighting your strengths and ability to navigate life. My approach is very personalized and client-centered.

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! As a therapist my goal is to allow you to reach your greatest potential during this journey and gain the right tools to navigate through anything that comes in your path!

Hi, I am Sue Middleton. A little about me: I grew up in Los Angeles, California. I have a bachelor’s degree in psychology, degrees in marriage and family therapy and clinical social work, as well as a doctorate in family sociology.

Does being a human feel a little bit exhausting sometimes? Have you ever wondered how your experiences have shaped you? Have you ever wondered what therapy can do for you? Are you eager to learn and grow and step into who you really are? I believe in collaboration and consent and value the importance of the therapeutic relationship. My experiences have shown me that everyone is capable of and possess the tools to live a healthy and fulfilling life. My goal is to help you unlock and learn to implement those tools and to help you uncover your already existing human potential.

I specialize in EMDR therapy, one of the top 5 research-based trauma treatments in the world. With EMDR I've successfully treated trauma, various kinds of anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, body image issues, unhealthy relationship patterns, addictions, phobias, trust issues, and pervasive emotions including grief, anger, guilt, etc. EMDR typically takes about 3-6 sessions to work through any given issue with some clients experiencing tangible relief from symptoms in as little as one session.

I'm happy to partner with you wherever you are on your journey. Although change is a natural part of our lives, it's still often tough, especially if you struggle with depression or anxiety - or both. Whether you're facing transition within your professional life, from college into career, making your way towards graduation, or are experiencing challenges within your relationship, you don't have to do it alone.

Most of my clients struggle with chronic anxiety or depression and find themselves stuck in self-awareness - knowing a lot about themselves but not yet able to translate self-knowledge into feeling relief. My clients are often late-diagnosed or self-identified, low support needs (level 1) adult autistic and/or ADHDers who endure neurotypical expectations and pressures but also live independently and have school, work, or other community activities. I also help clients process their relief, frustration, grief, and acceptance around their neurodivergent identity. I provide referrals for people who need additional or daily support.

You are enough, you are worthy and I already know you are brave because you are here. Healing is possible. You are not meant to heal alone. Together we will create space for you to feel safe and supported, so you can reconnect with your truest self. The real you, the vibrant you, that is still there, alive and well, under any chaos or pain. I have spent 14 years supporting others through their darkest times, through trauma, loss, grief, and struggles with belonging. The path of the human experience can lead to a variety of complicated and sometimes difficult emotions.

My style of therapy is eclectic. I am not married to one approach in particular because no single approach is appropriate for everyone. I specialize in helping individuals with anxiety, mood disorders, addiction, OCD, identity, existential, and faith crises.

I believe that relationships are the cornerstone of life, and having healthy and trusting connections with ourselves, partners, and families allows us to truly be who we were meant to be. In therapy, I offer a safe and collaborative environment where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered as we work towards your goals. I honor your unique lived experience and focus on your individual needs, guiding you on a journey of self-exploration & healing. With experience of working with diverse populations and diagnoses, my areas of specialty are childhood trauma, anxiety, the intricacies of womanhood & as a wife and mother, & couples.

Are you having difficulty navigating life transitions and grief? Do you struggle with letting go of the past and moving forward? You may be fed up with anxiety affecting your decisions and your sleep, feeling overwhelmed or stuck. You might not even remember a time when things didn’t feel this way. But one thing is for sure: you’re ready for some relief. You’re ready to navigate changes as they come. You’re ready to learn new tools and create new strengths. Most of all, you’re ready to find joy, discover purpose, and know peace.

Taking the step to enter therapy can be incredibly scary because you may wonder about, whether you’ll feel comfortable or safe to talk about your stuff. I want you to know that, no problem is too big or small for me to explore with you. Therapy can be a space for you to vent, heal, learn about yourself, obtain tools and skills, bounce ideas or get advice/solutions. It can be what you need it to be.

One of my core beliefs is that every individual can benefit from therapy and discover more about themselves. I am passionate about working with adolescents, young adults and parents. I acknowledge each stage of life can be difficult to navigate and I enjoy helping clients in life's transitions. Important challenges I aid in are anxiety, depression, self esteem and identity, LGBTQ concerns, conflict resolution, trauma, life transitions, faith transitions, and behavioral challenges. I am also passionate about working with athletes and understand the unique challenges that can come with playing a professional sport.

Life has everything in it, but you only see what your perception allows you to see. You are the main character in your story, which is why I take a person-centered approach to counseling. There, of course, is a reason for the feelings you have in the here and now, such as trauma, etc. Working through those hurdles and finding your light again is my primary purpose. Healing the body, mind, and spirit together helps create you into the person you desire to be. As a person-centered counselor, I focus on how the client experiences life and, through that, facilitates therapeutic change. Now providing LENS Neurofeedback!

What if the pain and fear you’re feeling right now could transform into resilience and empowerment? How would your life look if you had the support and tools to navigate through this trauma and emerge stronger on the other side? My passion is to bring hope and healing to each client through a non-judgmental, empathic approach with sensitivity and care. I strive to create a safe and non-judgmental space where you can explore thoughts, feelings, and experiences openly and honestly. My goal is to make you feel heard and validated, allowing you to share even your most vulnerable moments without fear of judgment.
