About me

I am a Clinical Mental Health Counselor licensed in the state of Utah. I have experience working with children, teens, and families. 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 counseling style is open and based around conversation. I help my clients to conceptualize their concerns and problems in a different light, changing the meaning of the stories they tell without changing the facts. I also help clients to develop different skills that can help to manage symptoms of distress in everyday life, such as mindfulness and meditation techniques and thought-changing skills. My counseling style combines EMDR and Narrative therapy techniques with DBT, CBT, and mindfulness skills for a whole-body wellness approach.

I understand how difficult it can be to seek therapy and to find a therapist that whom you connect with. I applaud those who take the first step toward facing their issues and fears and hope that I am able to work with you to live your best life.

Kathi-Ann has helped me get through the hardest time of my life and has shown me ways to trust myself! Highly recommend

Kathi-Ann is amazing! She balances our sessions really well between serious reflection and humor so that I can express and feel my difficult emotions without spiraling in them. She also does really well pushing me when I need it and giving me space to come to understandings on my own when that's the better way. I'm very grateful to have her help while working through my trauma.

I have only had one video session with Kathi-Ann Busha and it went really well. We are still in the early stages but I am confident that she and I will work great together! She is a fantastic listener and offers her expertise. She follows up and takes notes. Would definitely reccommend!

Kathi-Ann is an excellent listener and problem solver, even when I ramble on about issues and frustrations she always pulls out the parts that matter to examine. Her charisma helps me remember there are good people around us, and the world can be a nurturing place even if it doesn't seem so.
