Hello, My name is Jeff Lavallee, LMFT and I am a family and marriage counselor licensed in Utah with over 28 years of experience working as a therapist and life coach. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, adoption, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, OCD and ADHD. I have also helped many people who have experienced trauma and abuse.
My counseling style is warm and interactive but is also direct and supportive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psycho-dynamic and rational-emotive counseling. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

I am very grateful to have Jeff as my therapist. He is helping me navigate one of the most difficult times of my life, helping to look at things through new eyes and giving me tools to help get through this grind.

Jeffrey is very respectful and provides me with multiple ways to learn how to cope and fix any issues I have. I feel heard when I bring up anything with him. He always responds in a timely manner.

I have only met with Jeff a couple of times, but one thing I love is that he's not pushing me to get on medication. He is interested in having me find natural ways of coping with my depression, anger and anxiety. Thank you, Jeff!!
