Therapists in Brian Head, UT

Welcome

Negotiating the challenges of everyday life is not easy. It's especially more difficult if you are struggling with other issues like anxiety, depression, significant life changes, sexual identity, relationship struggles, trauma or addiction. A life out a balance is not a self-fulfilled life! Giving yourself permission to acknowledge what is not working and wanting to talk to someone is a courageous step. Therapy should be an opportunity for you to share your struggles in a judgment free compassionate environment. My style is to provide a space where vulnerability and authenticity are welcome. I also know that to make change, it takes encouragement and sometimes a little push. If you are ready to start your journey to being happier and more fulfilled in your life, I would like to be your guide. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Utah and have been in the field of social work for 29 years. I have two undergraduate degrees from the University of Utah in Salt Lake City, UT, and a Master's in Social Work Degree from Smith College in Northampton, MA. In addition to doing clinical work, I teach at the college level. As a result of living all over the United States, I have worked with many diverse populations and welcome the opportunity to continue to do so. I currently specialize in working with individuals and couples on relationship issues and sexual wellness. I assist clients with sexual issues and concerns, including, but not limited to: intimacy issues; infidelity; communication; sexual pleasure; sexual function and dysfunction; sexual variation; sexuality/gender identity; and sexual functioning over the life span. The approach I use for supporting a client is tailored to each individual's unique needs, and is often eclectic, meaning a combination of several therapies. My early training was based in the psychodynamic approach of Object Relations. As my focus changed to include couples in my practice, I now utilize a variety of treatment modalities, with the emphasis being on Attachment Based Therapy, Relational Life Therapy, and Emotionally Focused Therapy. I have come to deeply appreciate that no matter who the person, circumstance or diagnosis, it is empathy, compassion and equanimity that are the greatest gifts I carry into therapeutic relationships.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Utah with over 20 years experience. The majority of my experience has been as a forensic social worker, specifically in assessment, referral, and shorter-term work with individuals involved in the criminal justice system. I also have significant experience in inpatient and outpatient crisis intervention work. In my work, I have assisted clients experiencing a variety of concerns, including: depression, anxiety, mania, psychosis, histories of trauma and violence, adjustment to serious life events, illness, and end of life issues. I am invested in building trust with my clients and creating an open, compassionate, and safe space where you will feel heard and respected. Your input and participation are valuable and vital to our work together as we navigate the topics or concerns you would like to explore. My approach is a holistic one, and may integrate different modalities tailored to your situation. One consistent component will be an exploration of mindfulness techniques to keep us present and grounded in our work together. You are taking a brave and hopeful step by connecting to this site. I look forward to getting to know you and working together.

I want to hear your story, honor your strengths, and foster a sense of control over your life. I specialize in working with people within the LGBTQ+ population -- especially Transgender individuals at any stage of their transition process, Non-monogamy/polyamory relationship structures, relationship communication issues (friends, partners, etc.), self-esteem, anxiety, depression, cancer (patients and/or family members), religious trauma/leaving a particular religion, etc. I use evidence-based interventions such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) and more. It is my passion to help people move their lives in a more fulfilling direction one step at a time while taking care to build a solid, strong foundation. I will work with you from a place of genuine respect and warmth. I use a holistic-based, person-centered approach, exploring the roots of behaviors/thought patterns and how they inform the present. I can help you build your self-confidence, repair relationships, and lessen the hold anxiety and depression has had over your life. I am a part of the LGBTQ+ community and I have worked with individuals of all denominations, cultures, races, ethnicities, sexualities, genders, and identities. If these words have resonated with you in any way, contact me and I will be glad to help. **Please Note: I have a fluffy cat who likes to appear on camera while in session so if that is in any way triggering for you then I might not be the best counselor for you unless you wish to utilize the messenger feature instead. I just wanted to put that out there.

Hello! I'm Jenny, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW).

I have worked as a behavior therapist for the past 8 years and am looking to continue to help others through additional platforms. I believe it is important to focus on the individual and determine what works best for each person. I tend to focus more on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) as well as utilizing a strength based approach. Overall, I would say I utilize an individualized eclectic approach. Reaching out for help is an incredible sign of strength and I applaud you for making that first step. If you would like me to assist you on that path, feel free to contact me.
