Autism Therapists in Salt Lake City, UT

I specialize in working with anxieties, depression, trauma, as well as with teens and parents. I’ve worked with kids most of my life in one form or another doing therapy, mentoring, and teaching English abroad. Whatever is bothering you I’m here to help. LGBTQ friendly. I believe in giving the best available treatment that’s backed up by research (CBT, ACT, trauma-focused care, etc.) and then match your needs to these therapies that fit your personality and lifestyle.

I am passionate about helping others make peace with their suffering and overall live a more grounded life. I work with individuals (adolescents to adults), couples and families. I love helping others find new meaning after trauma and grief, manage depression and anxiety, as well as help others build healthy self-esteem. I specialize in teaching tools to help others better communicate and repair relationships, heal attachment wounds, gain skills to set healthy boundaries, time manage, build a secure attachment, self-motivate, and adjust to life changes, including medical diagnosis, breakups/divorce, loss, and career changes.

Focusing on the individualized needs of each person, I strive to provide an environment where clients feel validated, safe, and able to express themselves freely. I believe one of the most important aspects of therapy is the therapeutic relationship. This unique dynamic can assist clients to feel fulfilled and successful in their mental health journey. I use a collaborative approach and a variety of techniques to help us find direction for the therapeutic process.

Sonntag Counseling: Providing Hope, Awareness, & Direction. My experience consists of 19 years in academic medical centers, 14 of which was inpatient psychiatric care. I see therapy as a partnership between client and therapist with the goal of teaching skills to help individuals live and behave in ways consistent with their personal values, while also developing psychological flexibility. By recognizing ways in which our attempts to suppress, manage, and control emotional experiences can create challenges and strain relationships, we determine goals and work towards wellness, balance, and a life full of meaning.

I get it. Life happens. I’ve had those experiences myself. It can be hard to know what to do when your relationships are struggling or when you need help. It’s uniquely difficult when you’re worried about your teenager & looking for support. But here you are, taking this monumental step toward improvement. I tend to use a strengths-based approach in my work, helping my clients embrace their best self and enhance their life through the “Three C’s”: Connection, Creation & Contribution. Laying a foundation that allows for the development of the Three C’s leads to living a life of purpose, meaning & “pyong” - peace & confidence in life.

As a therapist, I am known to be relational, even-keeled, and collaborative. My approach is dynamic and personable. I help clients attune to their needs, learn how to ground themselves when overwhelmed and overexerted, regain trust and confidence in their abilities, and find opportunities for more meaningful connections. For some, this involves specific skill-building, social coaching, exposure, or trauma work; for others, this involves simply holding the space to talk it out.

I work well with individuals and couples who are looking to get to the root of their challenges, and move past managing symptoms.
