Therapists in Roosevelt, UT

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.

I am passionate about helping individuals and couples of all genders and sexual orientations improve their sexual health and sexual relationships. I help clients explore the meaning of sex, find greater sexual pleasure, and address sexual problems. I also work with out-of-control sexual behavior (OCSB), sometimes called sexual compulsions or sexual addictions. This includes navigating moral, religious, and erotic conflicts around sexuality.

His experience in these programs has given him extensive doctoral level knowledge of evidence based treatment and prides himself in providing quality care. As an EMDR trained therapist Ethan enjoys working with individuals who have a history of trauma.

There are moments in life when change comes swiftly catching us by surprise. We wake up and question who we are, wonder if we ever trusted ourselves, or ruminate on our every decision. Whether it comes by divorce, betrayal, death, a cataclysmic change in beliefs or other transitions in life, we are no longer the same after these events. We often discover we want more: more authenticity, more love, more alignment, more healing, more truth. Counseling can be a place to come home to yourself while you wade through the pain of change. I hope to offer you the empathy that can only come from lived experience rebuilding my own life.

I find people are far more capable and resilient than they realize. My approach to therapy is collaborative, eclectic and person-centered. Whether the challenge stems from anxiety, depression or conflict within your relationship, skills can be learned to navigate your life circumstance. Relationships make up the core of who we are as human beings and effort is needed to learn skills to communicate, have healthier conflict resolution or rebuild a relationship (with others and self).

With a lifelong passion for helping people who are struggling, I value strong, empathic listening skills and helping my clients look for effective solutions in their lives. I specialize in working with those suffering with anxiety, depression, postpartum depression and anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and addictions. I also work with women's issues such as self-esteem, shame, and body image.

Life includes unique and meaningful journeys for each of us. During that journey, we all face wounds that require healing and mending. As a therapist, I would be honored to be a part of the healing journey for you and your loved ones. My goal is to provide a collaborative, supportive, and understanding environment focused on your growth, development, and recovery. I approach therapy with a respect for the importance of care in multiple life areas: biological, psychological, relational, and spiritual. I seek to provide healing with respect to the many unique identities and experiences that we each hold in our lives.

Welcome to Summit View Counseling! We have several great professionals on our team to support and assist you. I have personally worked in the mental health field in various capacities for 17 years. I have come to understand the needs of individuals, couples, and families as they face challenges which can seem overwhelming.  I appreciate the impact of evidenced based psychotherapies in helping the clients I work with achieve the results they are seeking. I also recognize the power of being present and flexible as needs in treatment evolve.

It’s my personal belief that relationships make the world go round – at least when they’re connected and supportive. Life is hard and relationships can feel very complicated sometimes. Others can say and do hurtful things and trust can be broken by the very people we care the most about. We internalize messages we learned at home or elsewhere and those impact how we interact and be in relationship with others.

We are all on life's journey with ups, downs, twists, and turns. These twists and turns include depression, anxiety, grief and loss, marital strife, illness, and so much more. Sometimes we need someone to help guide us through these ups and down on our individual path. I believe it is my job to help guide you to your desired destination, while teaching you skills to help you manage life's journey.

My clients are individuals, couples, and families of all ages who want to find hope, happiness, and healing in their lives, but struggle due these or other reasons: Anxiety, trauma, ADD/ADHD, Depression, Self-Harm, and Suicidal Ideation, Problems at Work, Parenting, Problems in Friendships and/or Interpersonal Relationships, Pre-marital or Marital Conflict/Problems, Family Conflict, Faith/Spiritual Crisis, Poor Self-image/Body Shame, Illness, and/or Pornography Use and Addiction, (Both Men and Women).

My 10 years as a therapist have exposed me to a variety of challenges from deescalating unsafe situations to mediating complex relationship barriers. In my experience trauma can often be found at the core of depression, anxiety, family/spouse conflict, disordered eating, sexual confusion and addiction. All of these challenges can create a sense of feeling stuck, unfulfilled and alone. In some cases, these struggles can be intimidating to address without help. My belief is that therapy acts as a safe place for you to address those struggles in an empowering way; one that gives a sense of purpose, and leaves you feeling connected.

Sometimes life throws us for a loop–we get into an unexpected situation, a loved one passes away, our relationships are fraught with contention–and we feel stuck. When this happens, you don’t have to figure everything out alone. Loneliness and isolation make things worse. When clients work collaboratively with me, I help them find hope, move elegantly through life’s obstacles, and rekindle their passions. I work with a variety of presenting problems, including anxiety, depression, couple and family issues, step-family issues, and parent-child relational issues.

At Beehive Family Services we specialize in compassionate mental health services for children, adolescents, adults, and families impacted by trauma—domestic violence, abuse, and foster care experiences. Our expertise extends to navigating divorce, blended families, and co-parenting challenges, including high-conflict situations. Addressing anxiety and depression, we provide evidence-based therapies to foster resilience and well-being. We're dedicated to creating a safe, supportive space for your unique journey towards a brighter future.

Life is a process and journey. When one feels stuck, it is vital to understand why they are stuck and how to get moving forward again. I strive to help my clients to honestly and courageously seek to understand the conceptual nature of their problems with trauma, addiction, and relationship patterns. When clients can attend, listen, understand, validate, care, and nurture themselves, they can find their way in the journey. As couples and families learn to see each other, create and maintain safety and security, and soothe each other they can find deep and satisfying connections.
