Teletherapy for Utah

As a therapist, my goal is to give you the tools and strategies you need to improve your life and relationships. I help individuals, couples and families with relationship issues, parenting skills, stress, anxiety, depression and many of the other struggles that life puts in front of us. I want to help you manage the challenges in your life, recover from them, and grow as a result of those challenges.

Some of the concerns that I have worked with clients on in therapy include family conflict, transitioning to adulthood, long-term depression, persistent anxiety, stress, abuse, and trauma. I am an EMDR-trained therapist who has worked with clients who have experienced sexual abuse and sexual trauma. I have experience working with clients with ADHD, on the autism spectrum, and who would consider themselves "quirky".

My ideal clients come in with past traumas that they are hoping to heal from. These trauma's could be childhood traumas, relationship abuse, military trauma, child birth traumas, or sexual dysfuntions that resulted in traumatic experiences. I truly believe that more healing happens from resolving trauma than nearly anything else. My goal for therapy is to help you heal, to help bring joy and light back into your life. You are not defined by the experiences you have had and they shouldn't alter your happiness. Healing from trauma is one of the most rewarding experiences that can happen in therapy. I believe you can do it!

Everyone has issues & problems. Healthy people admit it. I grew up with debilitating anxiety & OCD. In life, you can choose passion or fear. I chose fear for 30 years. I was a prisoner to anxiety when I found myself at the end of my proverbial rope. I began working with a therapist who helped me to understand the root causes of my fears, but I still felt stuck. I started working with a somatic coach who taught me about mindfulness & body work and took me on a life-changing journey to India, where I trekked in the Himalayas & discovered my life's purpose - to turn my trials into triumphs so that I can help others to do the same.

Life is too short to surrender to letting adversity, trauma, bad relationships, grudges etc... control us; or be anxious/angry all the time. With over 10 years as a clinician, military veteran and retired law enforcement officer, I have been fortunate to be trusted in working with individuals, couples and families as they find answers, healing, understanding or resolve through painful and desperate situations. Empowering them to create resilience and healing in the rest of their story.

Hi, I’m Dr. LaShawn! I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Doctorate in Education. I believe life is our greatest teacher. My journey began with childhood dreams of helping others, rooted in my parents' healthcare work. Being the new kid in school taught me the power of listening and validation.

I believe counseling is an effort in teamwork. I strive to provide a safe environment where issues of concern can be processed and worked on. I love working with teens though adults and provide an eclectic approach to therapy. I am formerly LDS and am available to help with faith transitions.

I have enjoyed meeting with all of my clients, and am happy to take clients depending on space availability. I connect especially well with women of all ages, teens and young adults, and especially enjoy helping people trying to navigate major life changes or challenges.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by life's challenges and struggling to maintain joy and peace in your relationships? Despite our best efforts, it's not uncommon to encounter obstacles that seem insurmountable. If you're finding it difficult to navigate through these issues, know that you're not alone. As a therapist, I bring extensive experience in providing care to children, adolescents, and adults. I believe in empowering individuals to overcome difficulties and discover the tools they need to thrive.

Navigating life isn't as easy as it looks sometimes. Depression, anxiety, and abuse are more common than people think. Family issues, partner issues, sudden behavioral changes, unexpected life adjustments, they all can have an impact on how we perceive life. Our perception often becomes our reality and sometimes our reality feels stuck. Rewriting your story can be a release from the past as much as writing a new chapter in life can be the change people seek. You have strengths to use against your limitations and parts of yourself that need attending.

My approach to therapy is focused on building a safe, supportive and trusting relationship where we can work together. Therapy is a process of change based on insight, learning and trying new things with someone who will support you along the way. I am here to help you when you are ready.

My passion is helping individuals and families who are struggling with anxiety, addiction, depression, and/or trauma, including narcissistic abuse recovery or are seeking to improve the quality of their lives. I believe the quality of our lives are in direct proportion to the quality of the relationships in our lives. I am compassionate, straightforward and authentic. I help those with faith transitions, and mixed faith marriages. I operate through trauma informed care.

Life experience shapes us in ways that impact healthy and unhealthy patterns of thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Seeking help in navigating the impact of challenging life experiences is the first step in creating emotional, mental, and physical well-being. My goal is to walk with an individual through their personal journey of growth and self-discovery as they find their way to meeting their objectives for improved mental health and well-being.

I started my therapy career in 2017 as a recreational therapist and love working with younger age groups as well as adults and couples. My additional education and work experience as a Clinical Mental Health Counselor has prepared me to support clients with challenges such as relationship issues, family therapy, depression, anxiety, ADHD, grief/loss, behavior issues, OCD, substance use, and LGBTQ+. I utilize evidence based therapeutic interventions and experiential activities to address all aspects of your wellness.

Do you struggle with perfectionism? Never feeling like you're doing enough? Excessive guilt? People pleasing? Critical self talk? Difficulties in relationships? I would love to help you become “unstuck” through using your own values & guiding principles. My goal in therapy is not for you to become dependent on me, but to help you recognize the strength within yourself to change & heal.

You might be here because you’re tired and you feel powerless. Your circumstances seem out of your control; maybe a partner has made choices that hurt you, a family member was diagnosed with a terminal illness, a child is exercising their new found agency. Whatever that circumstance is for you, you may experience helplessness, anxiety, fear, sadness, overwhelm, and other feelings that are causing you distress. I'm here to work with you. I work with teens, adults, couples and families.

The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step, and you have taken that brave step by exploring therapy. Maybe you have been feeling miserable, unmotivated, helpless and hopeless. Sometimes distressing challenges leads us to feel a loss of control and causes us to feel lost and stuck in our life journey. In therapy, we will explore how to use your strengths to overcome challenges together. Therapy can be both hard and difficult, yet amazingly rewarding. Let's help you explore and make sense of the difficult things that you might feel stuck in together.

As Christian counselors, we believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God, that He came to reveal the Father’s heart & through His life, death & resurrection He decisively accomplished Gods saving work. He engages us in the Divine Relationship that we were created by, for, through and in. We seek, along with you, the client, loving purpose, healing, & direction of the Trinity in the counseling sessions. As licensed therapist, we consider our efforts inadequate apart from the grace & presence of our Lord Jesus Christ. We are blessed & humbled to go to work each day & see Christ working in people's lives in an intimate way.
