Trauma Focused Therapists in Provo, UT

The challenges we face as individuals, as a community, and as a society can have a profound impact on the way we view the world, ourselves and others. Exposure to multiple adverse life experiences over time (experienced directly or in anticipation of adverse experiences) can progressively increase symptoms of anxiety, depression, clinical, and sub-clinical PTSD and even impact the state and health of our bodies. Adverse life experiences are often stored in the body and can be coded to our DNA. Somatic forms of therapy such as EMDR and Brainspotting help to adjust this lens by integrating and fully reprocessing adverse experiences.

I'm a licensed marriage and family therapist and the owner of Wellspring Healing and Therapy. At our practice, we believe that humans flourish when given compassion and grace. We trust in your inherent goodness, even if sometimes you don't feel it. We provide individual, couple, and family therapy for people experiencing depression, suicidality, problematic/out-of-control sexual behavior, trauma and PTSD, anxiety, OCD, faith transitions, LGBTQIA+ affirmative work, performance anxiety, and grief.

My primary goal is to help restore the power of the individual, to the individual. It is difficult to create ourselves to our true self until we uncreate the thinking and believing that is causing our distress because "whatever we resist, persists." To empower those I work with to see acceptance as a possible way out of their distress by realizing their true control in any given situation. This begins to uncreate the old thinking and responses that lead to further distress. To help those heal to freedom by removing danger, not increasing it, by providing effective tools of creation through improved thought, word and action.

I hold the belief that every person on this earth has inherent goodness and the capacity for happiness and change. My goal is that together, we can build upon your personal strengths and clear away anything that has been blocking your ability to see your goodness and potential for change and happiness; whether it be trauma, anxiety, fears, unhelpful habits, or any other road blocks you may face.

I believe that the body, mind & soul are intertwined. As a counselor & coach my purpose & goal is to inspire & empower you, teaching you the tools you need to interpret & respond to situations differently.

I will help you to see the situations you face as opportunities to grow & evolve. I will work closely & intently with you to encourage & offer focus & clarification on what steps to take to experience more peace, calm & good in life, improving you.

I have a Master's Degree in Clinical Psychology from Tulsa University. I am currently a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I have been been working as a practitioner for over 35 years. I love to help my clients have a good sense of well-being and to find meaning and purpose for their lives.

Hello, I'm Brynn, and I'm so happy you found me. I know you may feel like you’re ready to commit to giving therapy a try. But perhaps there is some fear as well. Maybe you’ve had a bad experience with therapy in the past. Or maybe you were raised to think negatively about seeking mental health help. I would love the opportunity to get to know you and make you feel heard. My goal is to help those I work with feel empowered and hopeful. To do that we may use EMDR, and other ways to help connect those parts of you that may feel disconnected. So let’s talk through some of the things you’ve been feeling and come up with a plan together.

Your relationship with your spouse is unlike any other. That one person is in a unique position of intimacy that allows them to truly love you or sometimes, to deeply hurt you. For you, the hurt in your relationship could feel like an exhausting cycle, or being stuck, or a deep disappointment. The good news is that couples therapists today have decades of research to draw from. The work of the Gottman Institute or the Hendrix Imago program show what makes a happy, healthy relationship. As a marriage and family therapist, I help my clients experience more of the good stuff.

Are you a military family member, victim of abuse, or just someone in need of help navigating life's complexities? I am a seasoned therapist experienced in treating individuals, couples, and adolescents. My therapy approach is infused with understanding and compassion, geared towards helping clients find the solutions nestled within them. The heart of my practice is client-centered, ensuring I meet you where you are and guide you towards achieving your desired outcomes.

I have seen many clients come in with a huge weight on their shoulders. They need someone to talk to, someone who can validate their experience and someone who can help them see that there is hope. It is such a privilege to sit with clients, hear their stories, strive to understand their pain and show them that relief and healing are possible.

I am accepting new clients and offer Online Counseling via Telehealth. I've provided over 10,000 hours of therapy and like Confucius said, "Choose a job you love, and you will never work a day in your life." I managed LDS Family Services for 13 years and loved directing the 12-step Addiction Recovery Program in Michigan, New York and Pennsylvania. I've been recruited by multiple residential treatment centers, a hospital, a skilled nursing facility, and by an IOP program assessing and treating substance abuse and domestic violence.

Many people feel unhappy and disconnected from themselves and the people they love. If you are wondering if there is anything you can do to strengthen yourself and your relationships, there are answers. New coping skills can help you see yourself and your relationships differently, new brain techniques can help resolve old traumas, and current research can bring understanding. It's never too late to look at your life differently and change what's happening in your world.

As a trauma-informed therapist, it's important to help individuals find safety in their environment and surroundings. In session, we start by developing skills to manage emotional triggers before working through personal stressors/traumas. After coping skills are established, we will begin processing the stressors/traumas through a variety of modalities depending on what feels best for each client. Because therapy is not one size fits all, I take an eclectic approach to therapy, providing a wide range of tools and resources to help each client work through their personal struggles.

I am an experienced trauma therapist with EMDR training and a passion for helping clients heal from their past experiences that may still trouble them. I especially love helping individuals learn to be more in-tune with themselves, in-tune with their emotions, and relate to and interact with the world in ways that are genuine and authentic.

As a therapist, I firmly believe in the transformative power of empathy and active listening. My approach is rooted in the belief that every individual possesses the strength and resilience to navigate life's challenges. Through a collaborative and nonjudgmental therapeutic alliance, I aim to create a safe space where clients can explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences. My goal is to empower clients to gain insight, develop coping strategies, and cultivate a deeper understanding of themselves, ultimately facilitating positive growth and meaningful change in their lives. This can be where healing happens.

A quote I have always loved says, "Courage can't see around corners but goes around them anyways." It takes courage to change, to improve, to set and reach goals, to heal, and even to manage your life. My passion is helping others to live their best life. No matter what your circumstance, if you are willing to take the first step by seeking help through therapy, I can be there to help you walk through. I am a licensed clinical therapist and provide customized therapy services.

Taking the initial step to go to therapy isn’t an easy one. You may be feeling hurt, unsafe, scared, exhausted, lonely, or even desperate. The list is endless. You finally gathered the courage to seek for help and really hope to find a welcoming therapist that will make you feel safe and accepted as you are. I make sure to create that kind of welcoming and non-judgmental environment for you, because if you feel truly safe then you can find the strength to look at and even face the difficult and traumatic events in your life.
