Teletherapy for Utah

I want to help you access your inner power and live your most meaningful life! I help people tap into their passions and unique talents to come back to their true self. Do you ever feel like you keep trying different approaches and make a little progress but still feel stuck? I love bringing playfulness, creativity, and movement into the healing process to break up old patterns and create healthier ones. I enjoy helping people change their ways of relating to anxiety and difficult experiences from resistance and dread to curiosity and kindness.

I've worked with clients from all walks of life, primarily teens, and young adults. My current focus utilizes aspects of Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness, and Motivational Interviewing (MI). I'm EMDR trained and Gottman level 1 certified . With a somatic lens and trauma informed approach I enjoy working with clients experiencing life transitions, anxiety, depression, sexuality, relationship issues, and trauma.

Feeling disconnected? Overly stressed or anxious? Wondering what might send you over the edge next? From the outside looking in, no one knows anything is going on. Are you an athlete that has sustained a concussion, injury, accident, or negative experience? You now have fear and pain that keep you from competing or recreating. You struggle with negative self-talk, perfectionism, anxiety, and understanding/feeling your emotions. Imagine if you could more easily understand what you’re feeling and why. Imagine navigating challenges with clarity and confidence, performing at your best, and remembering why you love your sport/recreation.

I currently practice individual therapy with adults (18 years old and up) from our BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and Spanish-speaking communities, as well as those experiencing complex PTSD, anxiety, and depression. I understand that everyone has unique needs and experiences, and I am committed to creating an approach that best fits my client's needs. As a therapist, I am passionate about exploring the impact of oppression and inequality on mental health. I aim to take a holistic approach where I include both the mind and body.

I am passionate about providing trauma-sensitive care. Traumatic experiences have a tendency to take over our lives and make us feel powerless. I believe we all have the ability to tap into individual, internal resources and take back that power. I use a client-centered approach to therapy. Whether you're experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, loss, or loneliness, I will listen and value your past and present experiences and your preferences for our time together.

Do you need hope that your life can improve? Are you having the same go no-where arguments with the ones you love? Are those arguments with yourself? I help clients feel hopeful as they discover greater satisfaction in their personal and sexual relationships. I can help you to find and use your strengths to get un-stuck. My work and training for last 17 years has focused on complex PTSD, attachment, neurobiology and addiction. I am trained in Somatic Experiencing, a unique and evidenced based form of psychotherapy to treat trauma. If you have tried EMDR and found it minimally helpful, this may be a good approach for you.

I bring experience and training in a variety of evidence-based mind-body-spirit approaches to help clients clear and heal from old stuck patterns and learn new tools for moving forward and allowing their personal and spiritual growth to unfold.

You deserve to be heard. You deserve to take up space. You deserve to feel safe and at home in your body. Showing up is the hardest part, so kudos to you for being here and looking around. It takes courage to ask for support, especially when you're used to handling everything on your own. Maybe you’ve tried therapy before but it wasn't helpful. Maybe it was painful to stir up the past and difficult to put overwhelming emotions into words. I can support you differently—using yoga, art, play, and nature to enhance traditional talk therapy. Together, you will learn to heal and create the life you’ve been longing for.

I have over 15 years of experience working with women, couples, and families, with a special interest in postpartum mental health, birth trauma, and faith transitions. I primarily utilize somatic therapy, but also include strategies from a variety of treatment methodologies, including cognitive behavioral therapy, narrative therapy, and art therapy to create an individualized plan for each client. I love to help clients discover their unique strengths, find meaning in their lives, and uncover new ways to align their values and behaviors.

As we move through life, we learn to censor, silence and ignore our own voice - through trauma (large and small), unmet needs for connection & acceptance, and endless external expectations. This experience can separate us from our unique purpose, potential and wellbeing. The result: perpetual cycles of suffering, distress, relationship difficulties, anxiety and depression. I am passionate about helping individuals interrupt these pattern and build from their unique strengths and innate resilience - to heal and grow from difficulty and build lives filled with joy and passion and connection to your own self authority.

Therapy can help name experience, holding the moving pieces that keep bumping up against the edges of your consciousness, organizing them, fitting them back together in a way that makes sense and returning them to you with skills to manage them. Sometimes though, the articulate and self aware client will spend hours explaining things they already understand, while still feeling unseen and disconnected, like their inner world is still being missed, knowing there is hurt and dissonance but needing someone to help them connect to it. My holistic mind, heart and body approach can bring you to a place of both naming and experiencing.

I believe in a collaborative approach to build the path to healing as well as a strong therapeutic alliance with my clients. My practice as a clinician is centered around helping individuals process traumatic experiences so they can heal and live a more present and focused existence. I have extensive knowledge of end-of-life issues including chronic pain, unresolved trauma, personal spirituality, , as well as the grieving process.

Stephanie is always client centered and rooted in evidence-based practices. She has received extensive training in various modalities address diagnoses of complex trauma/PTSD, borderline personality disorder, bipolar, addiction issues, and dissociative disorders. She believes the decision to enter therapy is courageous, and the path of self-discovery and fulfillment is one of the most profound journeys on which we embark. This path requires that each person be witnessed, seen, and held in a compassionate and supportive space.

Life is hard. It just is. At some point, you may have felt like you've lost sight of who you are and what you want. Whether that's due to mental illness, trauma, low self-worth, relationship challenges, or unexpected life changes, sometimes you just need someone to help guide and be present with you through the struggle. At True Self Counseling, we work with children, teens, and adults, and specialize in working with trauma, life transitions, mood disorders, ADHD, anxiety disorders, faith transitions, and LGBTQ+ issues. We believe each individual has within them the ability to heal, grow, thrive, and embrace their true selves.

I am passionate about helping individuals bounce back from traumatic experiences. It is common to feel broken, to feel a shadow of who you once were after painful life experiences. The healing journey is one of the most courageous adventures we can embark on. I walk with you into those dark places, offering sensitivity and kindness, helping you lean into healing connection. Among other issues, I specialize in helping individuals explore issues related to grief, depression and anxiety, gender and sexual orientation identities, and spiritual emergence/y.

I value creating an affirming, brave space with adults who have experienced chronic, complex stress and traumas, such as sexual and domestic abuse, religious trauma/LDS faith transitions, attachment and intergenerational trauma, and discrimination and oppression. The residues of these experiences can leave us stuck in perfectionism, people pleasing, depression, anxiety, and disconnection from ourselves and the world. I know the importance of finding a good fit with a therapist with whom you can feel both connected to and challenged by, who will respect you as a whole human, and who will bring a collaborative approach to therapy.

Who could you be if you were able to manage your emotions skillfully and without self-criticism? The fact that you are reading these words right now tells me you’re on the path toward discovering the answer to that question. It takes strength to seek support and I am so happy you have found yourself here. I work with individuals who are struggling with anxiety, depression, and trauma/PTSD.

Jayne started Blue Skies Counseling with the goal of helping women heal who have experienced relationship trauma. Now, as four empathic, LGBTQIA+-allied feminist therapists, our expanded goal is to help you recognize and actively dismantle felt oppression and inequity on an individual basis, including supporting people who are questioning their faith, sexuality, and gender identity. We offer a client-centered, solution-focused approach through multicultural, humanistic, existential, and relational theories in a safe, warm environment. We also use EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), SE, and other modalities to help our clients heal.

I strive to create brave, affirming spaces free of shame for clients to design authentic lives and learn tools that deepen connections in relationships. I work from several evidence-based & trauma-informed therapy models and take a non-pathological approach. Together, we will look for experiences that have created patterns & explore how you have learned to connect with others. We will utilize somatic work, such as EMDR & Expressive Art, to learn how your body responds to life experiences & create more awareness of your subconscious. And we will apply mindfulness & coping skills to practice self-compassion, acceptance, & empowerment.
