About Me I am a Clinical Mental Health Counselor, specializing in individual and family therapy for individuals of varying backgrounds. I have a private practice in professional counseling in South Jordan, Utah. I have extensive experience working with adolescents and families in the community. I received my Masters Degree in Educational Psychology from the University of Utah where I focused her studies on Cognitive Behavioral and Multicultural Counseling. I started her career in mental health as a counselor working in the school system, and has since become passionate about working with adolescents and their families in a private atmosphere. I have experience and spent time volunteering in schools, homeless shelters, and religious/civic organizations. I have had my own private practice in mental health counseling where I have worked with hundreds of individuals, couples, and families to resolve conflict and cope with mental health struggles. In counseling, I use an integrative approach, pulling from various theories, including cognitive behavioral, rational emotive behavior therapy, and family systems. I use a varying range of therapeutic techniques to create a treatment plan specific for each client. I value the trust and safety of the therapeutic relationship, and creates a counseling environment that is full of compassion, empathy, understanding, and humor. In addition to individual and family therapy, I have presented to and trained groups in a public setting, on topics such as effective parenting, self-esteem, anger management, marriage, sex education, self-harm, and grief. Above all, I value my relationships with my friends and family most. I have personally experienced trauma, loss, change, and disappointment in life, and is continually working on my own progress towards peace.

Anna Marasco
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.
Brittany Grove
Hello! My name is Britt. I am a mental health therapist with a total of 10 plus years of experience helping people resolve their internal struggles and solve their life problems, in order to maximize their overall well-being. My goal is for my clients to have the greatest level of personal joy, life satisfaction and meaning as possible. My client’s lives are nearly as important to me as my own life or the lives of my loved ones. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including: depression, anxiety, relationship issues, substance addictions, process addictions, trauma, family conflicts, career challenges, existential crises, religious or spiritual issues, problems with self esteem, domestic violence, emotional abuse, eating disorders, mental disorders, and concerns related to sexuality, sex addiction or sexual problems. My experience with the issues of depression, addiction, relationships, trauma, emotional abuse and spirituality is especially extensive. Regardless of my experience, I am not afraid to work with any type of person or to tackle any type of issue. I am willing to help anyone who wants the help, with absolutely anything they need help with. I consider my job as a therapist a calling, not a career. I truly care about people and want to make a difference. While I have the credentials, research and book knowledge, I also have overcome many challenges personally. I bring that personal experience and empathy to the table, when helping clients find solutions to their problems. I know what works and how to guide others because I have often been there and overcome it myself. My therapy style is warm and interactive, and I am client-centered and relational. Many clients have said that I am “one of the easiest people to talk to.” I am excellent at motivating clients to make positive changes in their lives. I have a high level of empathy and treat everyone with respect and dignity. I do not believe in stigmatizing labels, and I also do not believe anyone is beyond repair. Anyone can transcend labels and overcome their issues as long as they are willing to grow. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, trauma-focused, dialectical-behavioral, emotionally-focused, solution-focused, transpersonal psychological, mindfulness, somatic, psychodynamic, rational-emotive and acceptance and commitment therapy. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life. I will help you find the strength within yourself to align your actions with your values, so you can overcome your challenges and build a life worth living. Life can be good when we have the support we need, and when we are empowered to face it successfully. Helping others transform their lives is my number one passion!

How do I know if online counseling is right for my family in Myton?
One of the potentially rewarding aspects of working with a Myton therapist is the validation and active listening they can provide.

Counselors and therapists are trained to respond to various concerns, symptoms, and mental health conditions.
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 Myton therapy is having an understanding, safe space with a non-judgmental party who can support you through challenging experiences.

How should I prepare for my first therapy session with a Myton counselor?
Before seeing your Myton therapist, prep for your session by reading to understand the process. You might write a list of questions you want to ask your psychotherapist, any emotional pain you may feel, and the ways in which you hope to improve. When you attend your session, you can let our therapists know if you have any concerns or feel unsure about what to talk about. Myton therapists here may help guide you with open-ended therapeutic questions while offering mental health services. The first session will often serve as an intake to get to know you as a person and learn why you're attending therapy.
Should I find a 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 Myton 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 Myton 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 mental health care and therapy with a therapist 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. A psychologist 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 psychologist in Myton, 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.

Do therapists judge you in therapy sessions during telehealth appointments?
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. Their job in the therapeutic relationship is to create a safe place, help you gain a deeper understanding of your mental health, and support you.
