I started my career as a Recreation Therapist in Utah challenging individuals to do things they were scared to do but would ultimately help them grow. I took clients rock-climbing, rappelling, swimming, and canoeing, and watched them stretch themselves through each experience. I built on those aspects in my career by returning to school and getting a degree in Mental Health Counseling. That has expanded my opportunities immensely, and I've continued to use experiential activities to challenge individuals to grow. I'm a big believer in challenging you to take what we talk about, and find ways to look at life differently by giving yourself meaningful experiences. The majority of my 10 years in the mental health field has been with young adults with autism and Aspergers, which has given me deep experience in teaching relationship skills. More particularly, in my 5 years as a counselor, I've worked closely with individuals dealing with pornography and sex addiction, and have also had experience working with trauma, and mood disorders. The biggest lessons I have learned have come from my role as a father of four, and being married to my wife for over a decade. I'm a big believer in a client-centered approach, which means the client has the answers, they just need someone to help them look at their challenges with a different perspective. I am a visual learner, and use this approach in counseling however I can. While the online format doesn't allow me to stretch you through rappelling or rock-climbing, I will find ways to help you overcome the challenges keeping you from your potential. I look forward to working with you!

A FORWARD-THINKING, EXPERIENCED THERAPIST Licensed Mental Health Therapist with 35 years of in-patient and out-patient clinical experience working with adults, adolescents, children, and families. Specializes in working with relationships, complex trauma (childhood trauma within families), PTSD, anxiety, stress disorders, addiction recovery, blended family issues, extended family issues, and spiritual crisis. I lived and worked in Seattle for 28 years and in 2016 moved to southern Utah for the landscapes and the red rocks I love. I have a deep respect for personal struggles. I also have great confidence in the therapeutic process based on the transformations I've witnessed in the lives of the men, women, and young people with whom I've been privileged to work. Many of my clients are high-functioning, corporate professionals, first responders, healthcare professionals, therapists themselves, or people who have been in therapy before but seek a more integrative approach. I also work with people new to therapy who are seeking to build a more solid foundation for their emotional health. The heart of what I do is create the space for clients to address the issues that are keeping them from moving forward in life. My style is active and direct. I'm trained in trauma-informed and evidence-based approaches. I'm a Jungian and experiential therapist and use Rational Emotive and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapies. I've taught the MBSR, Jon Kabat-Zinn's 'Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction' course and integrate elements as it can be extremely effective in working with anxiety as well as targeting the very roots of addictive behaviors. As a therapist I draw not only on my education, but also on my life experiences as a woman, a daughter, a sister, a wife, and a mother. I am by nature interested in the world around me and continue to educate myself both formally and informally. In 1993, I began to practice Vipassana Meditation, a simple form of sitting/walking meditation. This continues to support me personally and has informed my work over the years. Thoughts are powerful. They shape our lives, impact our health, and play an important role in our ability to be creative. Thoughts impact the choices we make throughout our lives and can help us respond with resiliency when life challenges us. I advocate living life with compassion. Change is hard. Most of us resist change for fear of what's unknown in the future. I understand it takes courage to reach out for help. If you wish to work with me, bring your grit, your honesty, but most importantly a strong commitment to yourself. I'm here to help.

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.

I enjoy focusing on process/insight-oriented modalities and feel the excitement as my client achieves an “aha” moment in the therapeutic process. I am comfortable looking into family of origin topics as well as end of life issues. Because of my health background I am also comfortable dealing with medical issues and take a more holistic approach to clients. I do believe that alternative therapies including somatic therapy can be helpful in the therapeutic process. I have spent most of my career continually learning new techniques and theories to provide the best care of my clients. I have a tool box of helping techniques which are based on evidence based theories to include cognitive behavioral therapy, psychodynamic therapy, solution focused therapy, Socratic Questioning, and ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy).

I am a licensed clinical social worker with over ten years of experience working in trauma, dual diagnosis, and addiction. I like to take a humanistic, client-centered approach that explores conceptualizing your experience, considering behaviors or maladaptive coping mechanisms (such as substance use, self-harming, emotional dysregulation, etc.) to be learned skills of survival and not who the person is. I maintain the belief that the client is trying their best, no matter how they show up to session. I invite your messy, your discomfort, and the dark pieces that you work to hide, in addition to your successes, joy, and excitement. I believe that we all have darkness and light and it is important to be compassionate to both of those sides. My experience is wide in various diagnoses, including PTSD, complicated grief and loss, gender identity, anxiety, depression, ADD/ADHD, suicidality, autism, addictions, personality disorders, OCD, as well as relationship issues, transition/change, and meaning and purpose. I like to consider the different layers of each person and recognize that we are complicated creatures. Therefore, I like to adapt my approach based on what you need and not recite a list of cliched coping skills. You know the ones…”have you tried deep breathing?” My primary focus is to meet you where you are and support you in working towards your goals that you identify for yourself. I am here as your advocate, your support. I'm like the inflatable gutter bumpers at the bowling alley. I'm not going to do the work for you, but I will help you and believe in your ability to get yourself where you need and want to be. I love my work, and also find passion in writing (I hold a Master's of Fine Arts in creative writing), and am an avid equestrian. In my spare time, I can be found with the only man I will ever tattoo on my body—my horse, Henry. I really look forward to working with you—you are doing an amazing first step by searching for a therapist that matches your needs. I hope that you give yourself MAJOR CREDIT for the hard work you are currently doing as you take this necessary step in your healing process.

My therapeutic approach includes EMDR, existentialism, cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic and solution-focused. Our therapeutic relationship is that of a dance; sometimes you will lead, sometimes I will lead. Our dance will be slow and steady at times and yet other times unsteady and off beat. Please understand that sometimes, the dynamic of the dance will seem uncomfortable and you will doubt whether or not you can continue; rest assured, that is where I begin to lead you. I will teach you the dance, in other words, how to cope with whatever it is you are struggling with. Then one day you will lead, by mastering the skill set needed to overcome whatever difficulties lie ahead in your given situation. It is a process that requires patience, trust and kindness on your part - being kind to yourself, but also, gradually allowing yourself to trust and be patient with the process. It takes great courage to reach out for help from a stranger! And you are very brave and courageous by taking the next best steps in this journey; this dance! I consider it a privilege to work alongside you. Blessings, Jessica

Hi. Welcome to my bio. I'd like to share some information about myself. I have 5 years of experience as a professional counselor, with 20+ years in healthcare administration. During my years in healthcare administration I was in management for 17 years (consistently coaching, mentoring and training). During that time I had to balance career and family, raise 2 children, grow professionally, and trying to grow personally. The challenges of those years prompted me to change my career to help those who struggled like myself. During the past decade I've personally and professionally learned how to balance my life, use positive coping skills, lower stress, and just have fun. This helped deepen my conviction that a person should be supported as a whole, addressing connections between the mind, body, and spirit. I have a Ph.D. in Health Psychology and a Masters in Mental Health Counseling from Walden University. My dissertation focused on using video public service announcements to motivate people to engage in physical activity. In 2016 I completed a study abroad for 4 months to further my cultural understandings. I am also certified in Wellness and Nutrition counseling because I believe in balance between the mind and the body. As a therapist I use cognitive behavioral therapy with a solution-focused approach toward resolution, healing, and peace. A solution focused approach means I work with you to pick goals and then we discuss how to reach those goals. We can continue to develop new goals or just explore personal growth each week. In addition, I use several techniques specific to anxiety, life balance, and positive coping. I also use DBT (dialectical behavior therapy) and REBT (rational emotive behavior therapy) techniques to help encourage change. In therapy, I tend to encourage different ways to retrain the brain and reach the goals set by my clients. I always like to let people know, while I love tele-counseling, I do work in a clinic seeing clients face to face. For this reason I am not online at all times. I am available at different times for Live Sessions. I do get online at least 5 out of 7 days a week (trying to balance my work and personal time) to respond to messages. Please feel free to ask any questions so that you can get the counseling experience you are looking for. https://www.anxietyandwellness.com https://www.psychologytoday.com/profile/210593 Welcome to Better help.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs) about licensed therapists and mental health services

Some other commonly asked questions on therapy with a licensed counselor and BetterHelp serving the Alta area can be found below:

How does the cost of an in-person therapist compare to BetterHelp?

The average price of an in-person therapy session in the US with most therapists is $100 to $200 per hour. These prices may be higher in Alta due to a higher cost of living, and a limited number of therapists taking new clients. The price also depends on the type of provider you are looking for. See the following average prices for various mental health providers without insurance:

  • With a psychiatrist: $150-$500
  • With therapists: $100-300
  • With a clinician: $100

While many psychologists in Alta may not take health insurance, some in the state of Utah may work on a sliding scale, meaning they'll factor in your income and charge what you can afford per session. With a BetterHelp therapist throughout the state of Utah you can expect significantly more affordable options, with sessions ranging from $65 to $100 per week (billed every four weeks).

Therapists in your city can support you toward a healthier emotional state, regardless of your mental health, life concerns, or healing needs. While supporting individuals in developing healthier habits, another good benefit of therapy in Alta is having an understanding, safe space with a non-judgmental party who can support you through challenging experiences.

Should I find a Alta therapist or psychologist for therapy if I feel fine?

Some simply don't feel the need to see a psychologist. However, some people may avoid attending therapy due to stigma or preconceived notions of what it might entail. Although psychologists often support people with mental health conditions, you do not need a diagnosis or specific condition. You can discuss grief, relationship concerns, stress, or life changes and ask for general feedback. A Alta licensed clinical social worker may help you gain power over your life and emotions while you navigate day-to-day experiences.

Gaining a new perspective on yourself through various therapies might allow you to improve your self-esteem, work through relationships, and gain a better sense of your mental health goals. The success you may find with a counselor can be dependent on your process.

People may also attend therapy for specific motives, such as bullying, an autism diagnosis, a desire to learn mindfulness meditation, personality concerns, trouble with office workers, specific phobias, and many other principles that a counselor can help with.

Is therapy worth it?

Therapy with a licensed counselor is effective and has the power to change individuals' lives. Each client is at a different stage of their emotional healing journey in life, as each human can be unique in their personality, expression, skills, and goals. An experienced clinician can target various symptoms, experiences, and personalities to help you feel your best and put you on the path to healing. Unlike advice from a friend, family, or non-professional, a mental health therapist has an understanding of various disorders like ADHD and depression with many hours of experience in treating adults in their practice. For this reason, seeing an evidence based licensed clinician in Alta, Utah can be worth it. Over 41 million adults in the US attend therapy services each year, showing it's a popular option and is proven to be effective.

The boundaries between you and a therapist are in place to help you and them regarding ethical concerns. Mental health professionals are held by ethical standards through the American Psychological Association (APA) and are not allowed to judge or harm their clients. If you are concerned about sharing details about yourself, feel free to withhold personal information.
