Borderline Personality (BPD) Therapists in Layton, UT

I offer a simple therapeutic approach for mental health issues. Dialectical Behavior Therapy gives you the freedom to be who you are as well as accepting others for who they are. Learning to control your emotions is unbelievably life changing. My clients have made so many changes in their communication, anger control, letting go of the past, and living in the present. Taking responsibility for your behaviors, not giving others permission to control how you feel,and learning how to love yourself first will make a tremendous impact for a positive change in your life. I look forward to talking with you. Carpe Diem

In her practice, Tammy strives to create a safe, non-judgmental space for clients to explore their emotions and experiences openly. The foundation of her practice is deeply informed by Internal Family Systems as well as mind, body, and spirit-based approaches.

I believe that despite life’s challenges, and often because of them, every individual has their own unique strengths and capabilities. Every individual has worth and purpose. Our own difficult life circumstances or misperceptions can sometimes mask these truths, but I seek to help my clients remember and internalize them. Hope and healing can be found by drawing on the strengths within!

Looking for a therapist to help you or your teen to manage ADHD, intense emotions, or behavioral problems? I have spent the last 10 years specializing in treating clients with symptoms related to anxiety, depression, ADHD and trauma.

I like to use humor and a more relaxed style of engagement to help people feel at ease while approaching difficult topics and taking the steps to change.

In the counseling field I'm not sure if there is an "ideal client," However, I do believe there is an ideal therapist for every client. So, the question is, am I the ideal therapist for you? I have worked with many issues; however, have found that my specialties are in the areas of trauma (PTSD), personality disorders, mood disorders, anxiety, depression, addictions and eating disorders. The "fix you;" therapy is not something I do, as there is no "fixing" to be done. I will help you to identify: needs and goals, internal healing, and that all important balance that you seek. If this is for you then so am I.

I am a CSW dedicated to empathy and positivity. I graduated from the University of Utah and gained experience in the Burn Trauma ICU at the University of Utah Hospital, sparking my interest in trauma work.

I value simplicity in life, mindfulness, and activities like hot yoga, skiing, paddle boarding, and cooking!

I believe every woman, man and child has infinite value and worth. Whether we have experienced feelings of worthlessness because of our own actions or because of the actions of others, developing self-love is the pathway toward true joy. When we experience trauma, we develop false ideas about ourselves and the world that keep us in a place of fear, anger, and hopelessness. We make decisions based on those beliefs that cause ourselves and others despair. When we learn to love ourselves completely, we can find true healing within ourselves and the world in a deeply powerful way.

I understand that starting therapy can feel overwhelming, and I’m here to offer a safe, supportive space for healing. I work with children, teens, and adults, focusing on overcoming trauma, addressing relationship difficulties, and discovering your best self. If you or your child is experiencing anxiety, depression or feeling overwhelmed with life, I can help!

I specialize in helping people make lasting life changes. Do you have prolonged sadness? Does your mind seem to run non-stop and worry? Do you have difficulty knowing who you are? Do your emotions seem out of control or shut down? If so, you've come to the right place! I'm committed to helping you find ways to get away from mind dwelling, learn self-acceptance, self-love, and to find effective ways to improve yourself and your relationships.

I find a significant importance in helping individuals of any kind identify their worth. Everyone deserves to feel and be their best selves. My goal is to help my clients instill the hope that they have the capability of getting to that point. Shame, guilt, negative self-talk, and trauma are some of the many barriers that prevent us from living to our full potential. When someone is ready and willing to add to their self-care tool belt, it provides an opportunity to heal from their adversities and strengthen their love for the self.

I have specialized experience working with anxiety, depression, suicide ideation, self-harm, and trauma. I also have worked with many adoptive families to improve relationships and healthy attachment.

Dr. Varela's primary objective is to help empower clients to view themselves as being capable of overcoming their presenting concerns. It is important for him to employ a collaborative approach and allow his clients to discuss their presenting concerns and generate ideas about how our work together will proceed.

Many people hold trauma from the past, which develops into negative core beliefs. These beliefs, when not explored and processed, can result in life choices that are not always the healthiest or most positive for continued growth. We will work together to process the trauma and allow you to live your most fulfilled and happy life. Together we can look at issues such as anxiety, grief, depression, and anger to pinpoint the cause of these painful emotions and work together to develop a new way of addressing these issues.

My purpose in working with clients, metaphorically speaking, is not to command another person's vessel; rather, to serve as a trusted navigator through uncertain waters. I support and protect my client's autonomy and purpose in discovering the best version of themselves through objectivity, self-discovery, and occasional service as a devil's advocate, if necessary; for example, "admit that you are weak... And then prove yourself wrong. Purposely and with passion."

Now accepting clients. As a therapist I want to know you as a full person. I will then look at the methods I have studied to help you figure out the best path to treatment.

I have helped people deconstruct religious trauma. I have also helped with other types of abuse and trauma.
