Therapists in Brigham City, UT

I love meeting with people of all genders, beliefs and personalities! I specialize in treating adults with traumatic origins within organizations, families and relationships. My approach is unique: I see you as MORE than a diagnosis. You are human first. I meet you with dignity and without judgement. I'm open about my personal history with therapy and often solicit feedback from clients. I take a warm, human approach with a side of dark humor. Proud member of the LGBTQ Affirmative Therapists Guild of Utah.

Have you experienced traumatic events, chronic stressors, or interpersonal distress that has impacted your view of self, others, and the world around you? Do you find yourself protective in relationships due to fear of getting hurt or rejected? You may be feeling confused, frustrated, or lost. Guess what? You make sense. When we slow down and listen, you make sense. My therapeutic aim is to support you with effective exploration and integration of your experiences, foster insight and understanding, and implement real changes, so that you can experience healing in ways that align with your values and unique intersecting identities.

From your earliest memory until now, there have been countless versions of you. You are not a fixed, autonomous entity consistent across time, but rather fluid and continuously changing. In each new moment you have the opportunity to create who you want to be in the next. Sometimes in these moments, however, you might maladaptively begin to define yourself, others, or the world, thus impairing mental health. These perspectives may also be particularly evident in your most intimate relationships, leading to patterns or cycles that can be hard to break. As a therapist, I'm interested in root causes rather than treating symptoms.

I believe that life can be meaningful and fulfilling. This can come from exploration and healing. The focus in my practice is on LGBTQIA+ individuals and individuals experiencing faith crisis, transition, and questioning. In my professional experience trauma, depression, and various anxieties can make life feel overwhelming and lonely.

Many times, we are put into confining boxes by people or systems who expect us to fit a certain mold in order to be accepted. Attempting to foster your authenticity while maintaining your relationships can be particularly challenging to navigate. I enjoy working with individuals who are facing identity, faith, career and other life transitions. While some clients choose to walk away from religious traditions, I respect my clients’ autonomy and support them no matter where their journeys take them.

We all need support at times to care for our internal and external worlds, and to dive into the depths of our often layered lived experiences. To care for ourselves in this way, we may need to pull up the weeds of adversities or traumas at a pace that feels right. I hope to offer a warm and compassionate atmosphere for you as you gently tend to the past while remaining rooted in the present. Through attention and intention in therapy, I believe that flowers of wisdom, curiosity, self-compassion, resilience, and hope can grow.

Jayne started Blue Skies Counseling with the goal of helping women heal who have experienced relationship trauma. Now, as four empathic, LGBTQIA+-allied feminist therapists, our expanded goal is to help you recognize and actively dismantle felt oppression and inequity on an individual basis, including supporting people who are questioning their faith, sexuality, and gender identity. We offer a client-centered, solution-focused approach through multicultural, humanistic, existential, and relational theories in a safe, warm environment. We also use EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), SE, and other modalities to help our clients heal.

I enjoy working with people from all walks of life to offer support and healing for people who are battling substance use and the co-occurring mental health challenges; those who have experienced trauma (PTSD), grief and loss, are experiencing chronic and terminal physical illness, anxiety, depression, personality disorders and difficulty with life-stage transition. I utilize person-centered and eclectic approaches to therapy seeking to understand the client’s needs and current life goals.

We experience difficulties. We are all worthy of love and belonging. I provide a safe haven, a supportive non-judgmental place to grow and heal. I enjoy sharing the journey as motivated individuals and couples release patterns which no longer serve them, while discovering their strengths, resilience, goals, and, new ways of being and sharing. Sometimes, we need to acknowledge our limitations and reach for help to find our way. I am here for clients as they explore feelings and needs, and discover paths to more vibrant, connected lives ~ while making changes, or being with "what is" with new perspectives.

You may find yourself in a state of overwhelm that amps you up or shuts you down. It's quite possible you armor up on the outside while feeling messy on the inside. If only others knew how dreadfully stuck, confused, and exhausted you feel. Part of you wants to let others “in”, yet it is hard to trust. Multiple stressors may be weighing heavy on you. Genuine connection and support feels unreachable.

Life's circumstances and relationships can be hard to navigate. I provide comprehensive, compassionate, and effective treatment for individuals and couples to help decrease distress, anxiety, and depression, and increase a sense of well-being. Exploring your concerns and options in a safe, supportive environment allows additional choices and possibilities to emerge. Make the call today to see if counseling can help you get the positive results of feeling more calm, confident, and empowered in your life. I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Utah and California, working online and in person.

Now accepting Select Health, BCBS, and PEHP! I am working with Soma Psychotherapy and I am accepting new clients. I am Park City native who graduated from Liberty University with my Master’s Degree in Clinical and Mental Health Counseling. I have many ties to the LGBTQAI+ population in Utah and I’m passionate about holding a safe place for those individuals to learn and grow. I am fluent in Cued Speech and can communicate with the Deaf population, I wear a Cochlear Implant and have a passion for bridging the gap between the Deaf and hearing population when it comes to therapy.

Life can be difficult, presenting us with unanticipated obstacles that sometimes challenge our capacities to cope. Your decision to seek out a therapist is a courageous one and represents a significant personal step forward. I see therapy as a collaborative process to meet individuals where they are, so as to explore together what they want to get out of the therapeutic experience.

One of the greatest predictors of successful therapy depends on how effectively a therapist can create a space in which a client feels unconditionally safe and supported. My down-to-earth, informal, and practical therapeutic approach enables me to form a strong alliance with my clients. I am passionate about collaborating with people to help them address challenges, navigate difficult life transitions, and to recognize and maximize their personal strengths and resources.

Do you struggle with ongoing patterns of behaviors and/or thoughts that you know aren’t helpful, but you can’t seem to change them? Perhaps you’ve even been to therapy before, but the patterns continue. You didn’t “failed” at growth or healing, you just need a different approach to addressing core issues. I take a modern therapeutic approach based in neuroscience, offering alternatives to old, outdated, traditional talk therapy in order to create long-lasting changes. I work with individuals who are feeling stuck in life, have anxiety, depression, shame, trauma, complex trauma, relationship problems, and faith crisis.

We all have a story to tell. I'm interested in yours. I won't judge or criticize. Therapy is supposed to reduce your distress and eliminate feelings of stigma, brokenness and inadequacy.
