Kacey Ardoin
Hi there! My name is Kacey Ardoin, and I am a clinical social worker licensed in Louisiana, Texas, Arizona, and Utah. I have been practicing in the social work field for about 9 years. I received my Bachelor of Science degree from The University of Georgia, and then went on to pursue my Master of Social Work degree with a clinical concentration. I have worked with clients in multiple settings and have experience with both group and individual therapy. My work has been primarily focused on helping people overcome depression and anxiety, especially as it relates to improving their overall health (physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual). One of my greatest passions is suicide prevention, especially working with survivors of suicide loss. I have also worked in addiction and substance abuse recovery, and I greatly enjoyed seeing people reach the other side of their struggles. Other areas that I enjoy working with include relationship issues, self-esteem issues, and grief. My counseling style is empathetic and person-centered. I believe everyone deserves to be heard and treated with mutual respect. I align with a person-centered, solution-focused therapy model, while also using cognitive-behavioral therapy and reality therapy techniques. I am also certified as a Problem Solving Treatment Practitioner and like to incorporate these principles into sessions when they may be helpful. I especially enjoy working with people who are ambivalent about making a change in their lives, and I enjoy utilizing motivational interviewing techniques when possible. If you are feeling stuck, there is a reason - and I would love to work through that with you! Whether this is your first time in counseling or your hundredth time, I believe you have the power to break down whatever wall is standing in your way today. It takes strength to reach out for support, and for that, I want to congratulate you on your courage today! Thank you for your time and I look forward to working together.

Steven Davis
Hello, I'm Steve Davis and I'm a Licensed therapist in Utah and Texas. I practice multiple modalities for therapy, making sure each client has a customized treatment route and plan for meeting their goals. My approach to providing therapy starts with you and what you want-and then a solution focused plan to get you there. This isn't the only way, however, and we can integrate multiple ways of mental health care into your life. Sometimes we know we don't feel right, but don't have all the pieces to know more-and that's where I come in. It's hard to take a snapshot of my past and current clients as they have very different needs and problems. I work most often with depression, anxiety, trauma-related disorders, family and relationship problems, but this is not the limit. If you are having trouble understanding your thoughts or feelings, we can work together with this too. I strive to create a welcoming atmosphere where there is empathy, accountability and consideration for each client. I associate and use analogies frequently so things don't feel or sound overly-clinical, and encourage laughter and humor to accentuate the experience. I want therapy to be a place to look forward to. A first session with me will consist of a lot of questions-but it won't feel like an interrogation. We can get started working right away, or I can take a more information-gathering role. Don't be afraid to tell me what you need.
