My expertise includes a broad range of issues including traumas, anxiety, emotional difficulties, relationships, and divorce related issues.

In my work I use an integrative therapeutic approach and I weave together ancient with modern, east and west for personalized healing of heart-mind-soul.

Welcome! Congrats on taking that step to begin your online therapy journey with us!! My name is Stephanie and I'm a licensed clinical mental health counselor from Salt Lake. I received my Bachelor's degree in psychology from scenic Southern Utah University (go T-birds!) and received my Master’s degree in Clinical Counseling from La Salle University in Philadelphia (Go birds again!). The majority of my post-Master's work Is with addiction and dual diagnosis so lots of depression, anxiety, and personality disorders. I've also been heavily involved in marriage and family counseling as well as coaching life skills and effective communication. I am very CBT and behavior-oriented but I also know connecting and having a good relationship with your therapist is key and my job Is to help you feel comfortable and ready for change. With that being said, a good therapist will also call you out on your challenges and hang-ups and that can be a difficult but very rewarding experience. I love getting creative with my therapy techniques and interventions because it makes therapy more fun and why couldn't it be? I wish the best of luck to you on this journey! You deserve it!!

Hello, I'm Rick. I believe life is about our ability to make healthy connections with others and to be our honest, true self while doing it. Life is complicated. I believe we all have challenges and that there is no shame in getting a little help when things seem out of control or beyond our ability to handle. While there are so many things like childhood experiences, trauma, complex relationships and even some of our own choices that got us to where we are today, I believe we have to recognize and accept where we are right now and then find positive healthy ways to move forward. Life can be better. Your life can be better. My focus is on really getting to know you and helping you identify what challenges are the most concerning to you and then exploring solutions and providing you tools to overcome those challenges. I will also provide you support along your path as you use those tools. We will check in all along the way to see how progress is going and if changes need to be made in our direction. I have worked with a wide variety of people over the past 25 years and I see every new client as a new and unique person that I get the privilege of getting to know and hopefully help as we travel together on this journey.

My name is David Rice and I want to first say that because you are here you are already on the path to healing. My profession as a therapist is one that I take very seriously because I know that people are valuable, their lives are precious, and joy and contentment should be in each and every one of us. I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor located in Idaho. I have twenty years experience providing clinical support to a diverse population over that amount of time. In 2001 I earned my Master's degree in Clinical Counseling from Adams State University, Alamosa, Colorado. I am also a National Certified Counselor. I have worked with all age groups and have experience working with a wide range of presenting issues including relationship conflicts, self image, grief and loss, trauma, motivation and anxiety. I would describe my approach as client-centered and solution-focused. I provide a compassionate, empathetic style, while also empowering and challenging clients to be their best selves.

Brett Wilcox (M.Ed., LPC-S, CDCII) I am a Licensed Professional Counselor licensed in Alaska with 25 years of experience working as a mental health and substance abuse counselor. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including PTSD, sexual abuse, depression, anxiety, family and relationship issues, and interpersonal violence. I have significant history facilitating group counseling for teens and adults focused on substance abuse, domestic violence, and sex offending. I also enjoy working with couples. Coherence Therapy is my preferred therapy model. Coherence Therapy is a system of experiential, empathic psychotherapy that enables therapists to consistently foster deep, lasting shifts, dispelling clients’ symptoms at their emotional roots often in a relatively small number of sessions. The steps of Coherence Therapy carry out the process of memory reconsolidation identified by brain researchers. Understanding reconsolidation shows us exactly what gives new therapeutic experiences the potency to actually replace and erase entrenched, unwanted behaviors, beliefs and states of mind. Coherence Therapy differs from the approaches of standard Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in that it does not attempt to correct or change troubling thoughts, emotions or behaviors. Rather it enables clients to access and identify unconscious constructs empowering them to erase, transform and rewrite neural pathways resulting in profound and lasting change. Stated differently, Coherence Therapy does not label, pathologize or fight against symptoms, rather it addresses and resolves problems at the root level. Clients who have had lengthy unsatisfactory experiences with other therapists have thrived in my practice and found resolution within just a few sessions. My counseling style is informed by my foundational belief in individual autonomy and agency. I believe it is my role to empower clients to achieve their full potential and destiny in a strong and healthy manner. I view my clients as the experts in their own lives and do my best to minimize the power differential that frequently occurs in counseling relationships. I do not view myself as an expert who is reaching down to help troubled souls. Rather I view myself as a fallible human being who is able to empathize with others especially when they are unable to empathize with themselves. I do my best to avoid interpreting clients’ situations according to my perspective, because such interpretations are often incorrect and empowerment is better found when clients discover truths from within their own unconscious and conscious landscape. Each client is unique, therefore treatment for each client is also unique. If between session assignments are given, they are usually in the form of asking clients to hold in their conscious minds the constructs that emerged during the session. This simple task often results in a surprisingly natural resolution to issues that were seemingly entrenched and unchangeable. If these concepts resonate with you, then we may form a good team. If so, I would be pleased to meet with you for a few sessions so you can determine whether we’re a good fit. You are, after all, in charge of the process. If you so choose, I look forward to working with you! Specialties Addressing root constructs which result in poor self-esteem, body image, depression, anxiety, under-achievement, unhealthy relationships, couples counseling and addictions. I do my best to honor and validate clients’ various spiritual and religious experiences.
