Therapists in Downtown, Salt Lake City, UT

When it comes to my work as a therapist, I am passionate about providing a space in which my clients feel heard, understood, and appreciated. While I have worked with a variety of clients including children, adolescents, couples, families, and individuals, I feel truly privileged to provide support to each of my clients in a time of need. I believe that everyone has the capability to evoke change in their life, sometimes we just need some help figuring out how to get started.

Are you looking to make real life changes in a space that feels safe and offers the support that you desire? Does it seem as if you have done all that you can to find the answers? Well, I am here to assist. I enjoy partnering with teens, young adults, and couples as they manage circumstances such as conflict management, anxiety, depression, navigate life and career changes, blended families, adoptions, and school issues; I utilize a trauma informed compassion based approach which focused on your individualized needs. I also offer Christian counseling. In life, one of the bravest things you can do is take ahold of your life journey.

Welcome! I truly respect and admire you for taking this step toward self-discovery and growth, and I would be honored to be part of your journey. Therapy is simply a path that can guide you to the answers you already have inside yourself. I'm committed to and passionate about helping people find their own inner wisdom, and therefore deeper healing, meaning, and fulfillment in their lives.

In 30+ years as a couples therapist, I've helped many couples work through problems to create the kind of partnership they truly want. Most couples tell me that they want to feel connected with their partner again; to stop the 'same old arguments' from cycling over and over; to stop living like roommates; to end the painful silences; to feel heard and understood; and to feel hopeful, and happy again.

Making the decision to look for help can be difficult and where do you start? With so many therapist being listed it's hard to decide which one to choose based on a simple profile and picture. Maybe you've tried therapy in the past and found that it wasn't a very helpful endeavor for you. You still are struggling with some problems yet don't know what else to do. That's why I offer a free initial consultation. Before you spend any of your hard earned money or waste your precious time you can decide if I can be of benefit to you and your particular challenge. And if I'm not the one? I will help you find someone who is for free.

Because you are reading this, you have already taken the first step to make change. I believe the resources you need to meet your full potential are already within you. I help clients find and release their natural talent for healing. Together, we create a safe and supportive environment where you experience 'aha' moments about the obstacles keeping you from what you really want in your life. Friends and clients describe me as "genuine, someone you can trust, down to earth, and easy to talk to." Whether in the office or wilderness, I have devoted my career to helping people.

Lesbian and gay people are faced every day with difficult intersections between sexual diversity; trauma; religion, faith and spirituality; conflicting cultural and relational demands; and sometimes issues of race. Stress, hypervigilance, shame, anxiety, depression and mental confusion are to us like water is to the fish. But we have an amazing ability to heal, grow, and thrive when given the right support.

Thanks for checking me out. I applaud your efforts to find help whether it's for you or someone you love. Finding someone to work with can be a challenge and I urge you to be picky. Ask questions. There are a lot of us to choose from. If you're not experiencing a therapeutic alliance, keep looking. Your person(s) is out there, Should we meet, evaluating 'helpfulness' is an open and ongoing conversation. My hope is that we would figure out your goals, ways to know if they are being achieved and the best, and most effective, ways to do that. I'm not one to ask, "and how does that make you feel?" Not often, anyway. Ha!

I strive to create a safe and supportive relationship with my clients. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, playful and direct. I bring a mindful perspective to therapy and see most of life's transitions and struggles as opportunities for growth. I have been practicing for 20 years and love what I do.

Currently accepting new clients without insurance. I am honored to have been working in this field for 10+ years. I have worked with many people in the most dire of circumstances and been witness to them transforming their experiences into a life of purpose. I have worked extensively with individuals in crisis whether a recent or past event. I have specifically helped people that have been suicidal, suffer from trauma, have been involved in corrections or the prison system, foster care, Division of Child Services, and those struggling with personality disorders. I have additional experience in substance use and addiction treatment.

I know finding a good therapist can be challenging. Without a direct referral, you may feel you don't have a clear direction. Since 1987 I have helped others overcome challenges in order to live a happier, more fulfilling life. Here is one client's experience ... "I needed help, hope and healing ... Dr. Steven Chen's congenial manner and professional expertise created an atmosphere that assisted my healing and wholeness."

I love working with clients who are going through life transitions and maneuvering through change, whether that change is having children leave the home, relational, heading to college, coming out or faith transitions, to list a few. I hope to provide an environment that facilitates compassion and healing during these times. I strive to assist in this process through discovering and challenging patterns and beliefs about ourselves that may no longer serve the purpose they once did. I listen, I observe and reflect back to you. I also offer some limited life coaching.

As a Psychologist I use neurofeedback, therapy and hypnosis with ADD/ADHD, anxiety, depression, insomnia, autism/Asperger's, OCD, head injuries, concussions, headaches/migraine, learning disabilities, substance abuse and alcoholism, PTSD, cognitive decline in aging, chronic pain, IBS, uncontrolled seizures, for peak performance, and physical balance problems. All neurofeedback is individualized and done myself without technicians. Office hours Mon-Wed 9 a.m. to 7 p.m and accept calls Monday-Friday.

Healing begins when a safe space is created and your concerns are validated. This is accomplished by building trust and rapport in a client-centered environment. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to your well-being. As a result, I adapt to the unique challenges presented to find the best treatment modality which will foster growth and satisfaction in your life. Techniques I use to enhance the therapeutic environment include: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and mindfulness techniques.

Therapy is akin to walking on sacred ground. I am passionate about helping clients achieve personal wholeness and the loving connections that they long for. As a sex therapist, I am especially enthusiastic about helping couples create "sextraordinary" marriages! I provide a safe, friendly, encouraging and active counseling environment for us to explore what is needed to help you have the best relationships possible. As founder of "The Marital Intimacy Institute," I look forward to working with you online or in person at my Utah office.

Is your marriage or significant relationship in trouble? Or perhaps depression, anxiety or other mental disorder has reared its ugly head and you need clarity on how to manage distressing symptoms.
