Psychodynamic Therapists in Utah County, UT

We develop our interpersonal styles when we are very young. Moving into adulthood, people tend to keep doing what they’ve always done – even if it has stopped working. As a result, they may feel depressed, anxious, and blocked from having the rich life experiences that they crave. In my psychotherapy practice, I work with older adolescents and adults who are struggling in relationships – with parents, employers, friends, or intimate partners - and do not know why or what to do about it. My aim is to help people (1) develop an awareness of their interpersonal styles and (2) find ways to make adaptive change in their lives.

Hello, my name is Jeremy, and I work for Utah Lakes Neuroscience Mental Health Center, where we take an integrative approach to Mental Health and Trauma Therapy. I believe the key to healing is finding wholeness and balance in all areas of your life. I focus on the bio-psycho-social-spiritual model and use my underlying lens of psychodynamic therapy to inform other more cognitive and behavioral models of therapy. I work with a wide-ranging population of people, and focus on trauma, depression, anxiety, addiction, stage of life concerns, grief, and finding meaning and purpose in life.

Hi, I am Sue Middleton. A little about me: I grew up in Los Angeles, California. I have a bachelor’s degree in psychology, degrees in marriage and family therapy and clinical social work, as well as a doctorate in family sociology.

Young adulthood is an exciting time, but it can also be an overwhelming experience. Many young adults experience social anxiety as they focus on new friendships and dating. Others stress about surviving college or committing to a career path. Faith issues become a source of concern for some. For those who are married or in a relationship, connecting with another person emotionally and intimately can be a struggle. Creating a new identity as a young adult can also reawaken old problems from past abuse/traumas, depression, self-damaging behaviors, and scrupulosity/OCD.

I know that it is not easy facing life's issues. Talking about them and learning to manage life differently can increase our ability to live happy, more productive lives. My person-oriented style of counseling helps to build the necessary skills one needs for more satisfying relationships and life experiences. I would be grateful to be included in your healing process. I especially love to help improve the physical connection in couples, and help overcome and heal unhealthy cultural or emotional traumas that may be inhibiting the ability to have a fulfilling sexual relationship.

Are you stuck feeling like you want to change but can't? If you're struggling with patterns related to anxiety, disordered eating, or relational concerns my approach is to help you address them in the way that fits your life. If your goals include: changing behaviors that are hurting your functioning, navigating important life changes, or increasing well-being in relationships (with yourself or others), you are my ideal client.

Facing challenges like depression, anxiety, and trauma can hinder our ability to authentically and fully engage with life. As a psychotherapist, my practice is grounded in trauma-informed care. I specialize in EMDR, mindfulness-based, and psychodynamic therapy. I understand that spirituality plays an important part in many people's healing; and I incorporate a holistic approach that recognizes the interconnectedness of biological, mental, and emotional well-being.

I am glad that you are here. Getting help is not always easy but is the best thing you can do for yourself. You no longer need to do it alone. I want to help you break your unhealthy cycles that are no longer benefitting you in your daily life. My therapeutic style looks at how the past influences our present day functioning. Together we will help you become more emotionally aware and conscious of your current beliefs, so you can begin to heal your past wounds and become an improved version of yourself. It's important to me that in sessions you feel seen, heard, respected, and even encouraged to laugh.

Who says you need a mental illness to go to therapy? IPS was created to treat those who desire preventative health services for their psyche and improvements in emotional well-being. Cognitive Behavioral and Psychodynamic approaches are often utilized to focus on changing behavior by understanding its development through childhood experiences; generally, treatment is primarily tailored to the client's goals for treatment. Dr. Waltrip also specializes in court-related matters including competency to stand trial and violence risk assessments.

I utilize various therapeutic approaches to assist my clients. Some of the approaches I use are psychodynamic, person-centered therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and narrative therapy. I work with people of all genders, orientations, ethnicities, races, and religions. I offer individual, couples, and family therapy. Some of my areas of special interest and ongoing expanding expertise include anxiety, depression, trauma, OCD, low self-esteem, relationship/marital issues, grief, sex therapy, understanding sexuality, open/ Polyamorous relationships, transgender/gender non-conforming individuals, and faith crisis/ transition.

I have 9 years of experience working with late adolescents and adults treating anxiety, depression, OCD, trauma and relationship concerns. I have also published in top therapy journals and presented at national conferences about how to use technology to help ensure that clients are benefitting from treatment and how to be sensitive to a client’s religious and spiritual values. I use state of the art tools to measure whether we are working well together. This approach allows us to take an evidence-based perspective to treatment, in which we see if what we are doing together is working for you.

Has anxiety left you feeling stuck? Do you worry about things that are out of your control? I am passionate about working with individuals who struggle with anxiety, depressive disorders. I enjoy connecting with others and talking them through the ups and downs of life's everyday stressors, as well as drawing connections between past and present experiences. I am a "realist" in that I act like myself in sessions, not like the stuffy armchair psychotherapist you might imagine from movies.

I provide individual therapy for adults, adolescents, and children. I also provide couples therapy, family therapy, pre-marital therapy, and parental training. Depression, Anxiety, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, pornography, addictions, behavioral issues, self confidence building, and relationship improvements are some of the issues that I treat in my practice.

Over the last 18 years I have assisted numerous children, adolescents, adults, couples and families in their journey to find more peace, happiness, and success in their lives and relationships. Specifically I have spent the last 9 years working as a therapist to help the clients I serve with depression, anxiety, emotion dysregulation, self-destructive and addictive behaviors, self-esteem and identity concerns, impulse/attention challenges, grief and loss, and parenting and relational challenges.

You love your child and have hopes and dreams for their future. You have dedicated your time, energy, and resources to help them succeed. You may feel heartbroken over the arguments and big emotional reactions. Or you may feel confused by the messages coming home about problems at school, in the classroom, or with friends. You may be worried about how they will heal after a traumatic event, and you wonder how to support them now. Working with someone who understands what you’re going through can make all the difference. Whether it’s ADHD, behavioral problems, trauma, anxiety, or depression, I am here to help.

Have you ever dreamed of a journey where you conquer goals and unearth the powerhouse within— the real you? I’m Lacey, your turbocharged therapist on a mission to help high achievers like you unleash their full potential. Why you? Because… This isn’t just about processing trauma or challenging limiting beliefs (although we'll ace that too!). It's about YOU—your values, your dreams, and the extraordinary person you are made to be.

I have been working with children, families, and couples for 12 years. I have a passion for working with children in particular, as I believe helping a child in early life changes the course of their development. I specialize in play therapy, sand therapy, Theraplay, and couple therapy.

We all experience difficult times in life, and we all need connection through relationships. I believe therapy is one avenue to process and explore painful situations while working on improving relationships with partners, parents, children, etc. Our experiences impact how we communicate and perceive others’ messages.

“I feel lost”… “I feel like I don’t belong”… “I feel like life is too complex”… "I feel disconnected with myself"... “I’m not who I want to be or who I expected to become”… “I feel stuck in a life that I don’t recognize anymore”… There appears to be a rising recognition of the change and complexity of life in the world today. Attributes that once appeared to be strengths are now often overwhelming and underappreciated. At the root of it all is trauma, which breathes into this life disconnect and isolation.
