Feminist Therapists in Draper, UT
Happy Fall! I am an irreverent therapist that specializes in working with trauma, eating, and interpersonal issues. The people that do best with me tend to be working on mild to moderate trauma, a medically stable eating disorder, and boundary setting or general interpersonal issues. Depending on what work we're doing, I use a relational/interpersonal approach, as well as integrate CBT. For eating disorders, I use CBT-E, parts of MANTRA, and/or EMDR for core self esteem issues. Trauma treatment can encompass EMDR, CPT, brainspotting, or talk therapy.

Accepting new clients NOW. The bravest thing you can do is begin to understand your own story. Finding help through therapy is a process that I find hopeful, energizing, and sacred. I love helping clients identify their challenges, discover their needs and wants, and implement solutions to build a better life. Sometimes we get stuck in a chapter of our story and need help to understand, turn the page, and get moving forward again. These chapters may include struggles with anxiety, depression, trauma, etc... Using trauma-informed, mindfulness-based therapies, we will work through whatever chapter you find yourself “stuck” in.

I never wanted to develop my resiliency muscle, but when life challenges caused me to question my worth and sanity, I begrudgingly dragged myself into a therapist's office. I soon realized the value in processing my experiences with an unbiased professional who helped me discover inner strengths and progress toward my goals. Transforming my own life with the help of a therapist encouraged me to return to college as a single mom and become a therapist myself.

As human beings, we all have an innate desire to give and receive love, as well as to feel a sense of belonging. When these basic needs are not met, we can experience a feeling of being lost and disconnected from the world around us. However, we have the power to overcome these challenges. By acknowledging that we are not alone in our struggles and by taking conscious steps towards leading an authentic and fulfilling life, we can restore our sense of purpose and inner peace. No matter how difficult our circumstances may seem, there is always hope for a brighter tomorrow.

Feminist Therapists
How does feminist therapy work?
Feminist therapy sessions are not only personal but often cultural or political in nature, as the approach is based on the belief that people are affected by, and often struggle with, cultural and societal norms and biases, and need to move beyond those external pressures or stressors to tap their own confidence and engage more fully in their own identity. Sessions may therefore include discussions of sexism, diversity, and gender issues and talk of steps toward greater empowerment for patients who believe they have been silenced and seek to raise their voices.
What are examples of feminist therapy techniques?
Along with traditional talk therapy and analysis, a feminist therapist may employ techniques such as role-playing and assertiveness training to help clients build their self-esteem so that they feel they can act freely, and not based on cultural expectations or gender roles dictated by others. A feminist therapist may also engage in bibliotherapy, offering suggested readings on gender identity or social power inequities as they work toward viewing mental-health concerns through a broad cultural lens before focusing on how they affect the individual. Somatic therapy techniques, with an emphasis on body awareness, self-compassion, and mindfulness practices are also often part of feminist therapist practice.
How long does feminist therapy last?
As with most forms of talk therapy, there is no set duration or end point for feminist therapy; people who believe that they are making progress typically continue until they feel they’ve addressed the issues that had been holding them back. It may take some time to become comfortable discussing personal issues, but once a client feels they can do so, they could expect therapy to last for a number of months, typically including at least 12 sessions.
Does feminist therapy work?
As a relatively recent therapeutic technique, there is not yet a body of evidence proving the efficacy of feminist therapy. However, the approach is based on proven core principles of talk therapy, with a particular emphasis on developing a therapeutic relationship based on equality and authentic connection between therapist and client and discovering and building on clients’ personal strengths to help them gain a greater sense of personal power and agency.
