Kelsey Haymond
Hi! My name is Kelsey Haymond and I would love the opportunity to work with you. Life can be difficult at times and leave you feeling stuck. My hope is that I will be able to help you through times like these. The best way to describe my approach is client centered; meaning, it is important for me to develop a genuine relationship where you feel safe to open up, no judgment, and validated. Our therapeutic journey will involve a safe space to share thoughts and feelings, hope, empowerment, self-exploration, growth promoting experiences, work outside of therapy, and I will try to throw in some fun and laughter along the way. It is also important to me that we work on what you want to work on. Early in the process we will determine goals and most of our work with be centered on those. I have worked as a therapist for 4 years and love what I do. I have experience working with adults with depression, anxiety, eating disorders, OCD, relationship struggles, self-harm, and suicidal ideation. Therapeutic theories in which I have had training and experience are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy, and Family Systems Theory. Techniques I use will be based on the individual and their needs. On a personal note, I love spending time with my new baby girl and husband, biking, yoga, basketball, volleyball, and ATVing.
Caroline Schnarrs
Hello! My name is Caroline, and I have held a license in clinical social work for 15 years; and have been in the helping profession for over 20 years. Currently, I am practicing in the State of Utah; however, prior to this, I lived and worked in the great State of Michigan. I have served families and individuals experiencing homelessness; mental health concerns; addictions; family conflict; and other significant life events. I have always been proud to serve in my profession; I am continuously humbled and impressed by the strength and resiliency of the human spirit. My counseling style is warm and collaborative. We are in this journey together; and I firmly believe in the importance of the therapeutic alliance. I believe in treating everyone with dignity and respect, and recognize that it is a gift when someone commits to sharing their story with me. My counseling approach combines cognitive-behavioral; client-centered; solution focused; and motivational interviewing counseling styles. I believe the way that we think about ourselves directly impacts how we view and participate in the world around us. A change in perspective can encourage light in seemingly dark places. Change is never easy, but I believe that you have the tools and drive to change anything you desire. Congratulations on taking the first steps toward positive change in your life. I look forward to the opportunity to encourage, support, and empower you!
Sarah Hewitt
As we go through life we face challenges, from these challenges we may experience pain and suffering. As this pain becomes stored within us it creates burdens that may sometimes be too heavy to bear. As I work with clients, to explore and resolve pain and trauma, I work to help them explore what is at the root. We learn to navigate the pain and trauma with self-compassion, and foster skills that help us engage in healthier ways with ourselves and others. Through self-reflection, processing emotions, and learning to respond rather than react the burden of pain is often reduced. I am a Clinical Mental Health Counselor licensed in Utah & Indiana, with over 7 years of experience in providing mental health and behavioral interventions, in a variety of populations including children, families, and women. I have worked with clients with a wide range of experiences and mental health concerns some of which include depression, anxiety, relationships issues, parenting issues, behavior concerns, ADHD, trauma, complex PTSD, and compulsory disorders. I take new virtual clients through BetterHelp, Grow Therapy, and my own private practice. My approach to therapy includes a client based approach through the use of validation, TF-CBT, CBT & ACT, somatic exercises, awareness, and motivational interviewing. I am a compassionate professional and my approach is mindfulness based and solution focused. I believe each client holds within them everything they need to resolve challenges, you are the expert on you and this is your journey. I provide a nonjudgmental space within which individuals and families can explore their options and approach individual issues. I am available M-Th 7am- 2pm EST. I encourage email communication regarding the therapy process, your questions, and any concerns.

Pamela Lane
Welcome to my Profile! My name is Pamela J. Lane, MEd, LPC-S, but please feel free to call me Pam. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the State of Texas and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in Utah (LCMHC). I have well over 25 years of experience with diverse populations in the mental health field working with adults of all ages and adolescents. My history includes having extensive experience working with a myriad of mental health and behavior challenges in adolescent, adult, and special needs populations. As such, I have counseled closely with many individuals that suffer from Major Depressive Disorder, Anxiety, Bipolar Disorder, Schizophrenia, and many other personality, behavior and relationship challenges through the multitude of life's transitions. I am happy to make myself available to help answer your questions and advise you of some ways of handling the challenges in your life or in understanding those around you. I can guide and advise you as to what coping skills and strategies may help regarding your thoughts, feelings, or behaviors, in order for you to reach your goals or manage your everyday world. I describe my counseling style as “Talk Therapy” with an easy to talk to presence. I believe that the connection of the way we “think” and “perceive” situations can be changed through rational/reality-based information. However, I am very eclectic in my manner of counseling and treat each person as unique with unique life experiences and circumstances. I have recently been trained in EMDR Therapy which can help greatly when a person’s history includes past trauma, abuse, or phobias. Let me help you decipher your needs & guide you in navigating the transitions in your life. On a personal note, as a mental health professional, I have more likely than not… heard it all and have seen most things. I would be honored to make myself available to visit and work with any person who would feel comfortable working with me on any (well, most) any challenge or life transition.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
Some commonly asked questions can be found below.
How much does a therapist cost?
Mental health professionals can differ in price. Forbes found that the average cost of in-person therapy in the US is around $100 to $200 per hour. Pricing can also vary based on your location.
BetterHelp offers payment plans of $60 to $90 per session, charged monthly in a lump sum. You can also take advantage of this pricing on one of BetterHelp's sister platforms, like ReGain for couples or TeenCounseling for teens aged 13 to 19.
Many therapists may be upfront about their pricing and whether or not they take health insurance from the beginning. Additionally, some in your area may offer a sliding scale plan to allow those with lower incomes to pay less for therapy. However, services online can often save individuals a few hundred dollars per month.
How do I know if I should get a therapist?
Mental health services and mental health providers may help you navigate various concerns. You do not need a diagnosis or condition to attend therapy; You can discuss grief, relationship concerns, stress, or life changes and ask for general advice. A counselor may help you gain power over your life and emotions while you navigate day-to-day experiences.
Mental health issues don't always present as a crisis. Many professionals provide talk therapy and support for life transitions, skills learning, relationship problems, or life coaching. Online therapy sessions in Utah can allow clients seeking therapy to experience professional help through video, phone, or live chat sessions without commuting to an office.
Does insurance cover therapy?
Different counseling services can vary in cost. Therapists must apply to accept insurance through insurance companies, which may take time and money, so not every therapist offers services through insurance. If you cannot find a therapist that accepts your plan, BetterHelp may be cheaper than visiting an in-person therapist.
Is online therapy safe?
Online therapy through BetterHelp and its sister platforms is safe. Therapists are licensed, experienced, and vetted before being contracted with the platform. If you experience any concerns with your therapist, you change your counselor through the platform or app at any time.
