Therapists in Salt Lake City, UT

I use a holistic approach that builds on the foundation & understanding that we are physical, mental, emotional, spiritual & social beings. Feeling disconnected from yourself in any of these areas limits your ability to navigate life in a way that feels meaningful & connected. I utilize evidence-based therapeutic approaches including Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy, mindfulness, somatic experiencing, breathwork, parts work (IFS), trauma focused cognitive behavioral therapy, and EMDR. My role is to walk with you through your healing journey while you learn to listen to and trust the wisdom & strength that you possess within.

I am an experienced Psychologist that believes therapy can help you find balance, help you grow and improve your relationships. I specialize in individual and couples therapy and helping people develop a better understanding of themselves and their relationships.

My approach to treatment is personalized and interactive. We develop a plan together and work on achieving goals that matter most to you.

We're all searching for peace in our hearts and in our minds. How to get there looks different for everyone. You might be suffering from depression or anxiety. You might be suffering as a result of past trauma. You might be unsatisfied with your career, or where you stand in life. You might have stress within your relationships. You are unique, your concerns are unique, and the your solutions will be unique. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 5 years of clinical experience. I have worked primarily with adults; both men and women with a variety of ethnic and financial backgrounds.

Are you facing uncertainty with your place in life, your relationships, or with your personal health? Do you desire to decrease stress levels, and gain the tools and understanding to better connect with your authentic and empowered self? Working through the uncertainty, overwhelm, disconnection, and impact on your self-worth can be so much to navigate on your own. Regardless of your progress on your journey, working alongside someone who understands the complexities of these concerns can be beneficial.

A compassion based approach that honors and collaborates with your own, innate strengths and healing abilities. For some, the work may be learning new skills to better manage and enjoy the challenges of every-day life. For others, it may be the deeply spiritual work of learning to heal the parts of themselves that were wounded in the past.

Do you have previous treatment trauma? Had a bad experience with the traditional service delivery system? Need help de-consuming from unhelpful consumables including psych meds? Looking for Medical Cannabis? Ready for more holistic health and wellness? Are you experiencing signs of unresolved trauma, loss/grief, or shame? OBH is a liberation clinic, that is anti-racist, and focuses on the underlying traumas related to health & abilities, gender, sexuality, race, immigration, religion, etc. that forms to express as anxiety, depression, bi-polar disorder, addiction, and ADHD. We can help with FMLA and student registration appeals.

I am a clinical social worker who likes looking at the larger picture when it comes to mental health concerns. I think our illness should not define us, so I like looking at clients' strengths to help them overcome concerns they have. I have taught abnormal psychology, life span development and group therapy for many years and enjoy learning about people on a personal level. I enjoy my job so much because I enjoy how unique everyone is while still bonding over similarities we all share.

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 am the clinical director for Center For Human Potential, located in downtown Salt Lake City. We focus on helping people achieve balance and fulfillment. We have many talented psychologists, social workers, and psychiatrists able to help children, adolescents, adults, and seniors with a variety of difficulties. We provide counseling to individuals, couples, and families. We also prescribe psychiatric medication and offer psychological testing to screen for ADHD and learning disabilities. We accept most health insurance plans and offer a sliding fee scale, based on income level, for those without insurance.

I value and celebrate individuals who come all walks of life. I believe there are strengths and perspectives to be found in the life experience we face each day. There are many pieces and parts that make us who we are; our life history, our race, gender, gender expression, age, sexual identities, abilities, religious beliefs, and spiritualities. Pieces that are apart of us, but not always in harmony. I believe as we acknowledge, explore and embrace these conflicts, we can find a new meaning to our suffering, new ways of coping, and a new perspective on life.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker(LCSW) in Utah and my practice is grounded in the synthesis of social, biological, and psychological theories. I provide individual, group, and family therapy integrating psychodynamic and humanistic approaches with transformative healing methods and spirituality to adults. My goal in therapy is to move my patients beyond symptom reduction to the achievement of balance in the physical, emotional and, spiritual dimensions.

If you find yourself struggling with unwanted experiences (painful emotions or moods, intrusive thoughts, chronic physical pain, etc) and feel stuck, no longer enjoying life, or falling further away from being the kind of person you want to be, I am here to help. It is challenging to live a life worth living when you feel constantly side-lined, exhausted, or defeated by fighting the pain that the world throws at you. I will collaborate with you so you can create a purposeful, satisfying, and meaningful life by dropping this struggle and learning to whole-heartedly pursue what matters most to you with flexibility and commitment.

Connection isn't the antidote to everything, but it can do wonders. Having a felt sense of connection with others and ourselves is often missing or underrated in our lives. As human beings, we need to feel seen, heard, and understood. Without these essential nutrients we are bound to seek fulfillment or satiation from things outside ourselves, that feel good in the moment but don’t actually meet our needs. I want to help my clients figure out what is getting in the way of having their needs met and how to approach their lives with authenticity and a broader sense of self.

I take a direct approach to treatment. Although eclectic in style, I am most closely attached to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). We will focus on the thought processes and behavioral responses that are contributing to the life dissatisfaction you are experiencing. I am solution-focused. The atmosphere will be empathetic, but our goal will be to effect change in your life. We may discuss your childhood, family relationships, or specific losses and grievances, only to the extent necessary to understand what is happening now.

I am an experienced and empathetic Clinical Mental Health Counselor. My experience includes individual, couples and family counseling, as well as working with struggling adolescents and families in a variety of settings, including adventure therapy. I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology and a Master’s Degree in Mental Health Counseling. I love working with adults, teens (16+), and families. Courageous effort, self-discovery, and profound growth are what continually draw me to this work. I'm passionate about walking alongside courageous people in their path to healing, growth, and self-discovery.

My approach to therapy is empathic, collaborative, and unique to each individual's own needs. I believe the most important component of effective counseling is a genuine relational connection. I strive to create a therapeutic environment in which clients feel comfortable, respected, supported, and understood so that they may actively explore personal issues and experiment with new ways of thinking and behaving. Too often we spend our lives living either in the past or in the future, and consequently struggling with feelings of depression or anxiety.

Are you experiencing the effects of trauma, or seeking ways to express grief and loss? I'm a dedicated practitioner of EMDR and other transformative healing modalities. Trauma can alter our lives profoundly, echoing into our adult years. While sometimes our minds and bodies can process these events independently, often, we need additional support to release and express this energy. Whether you're dealing with recent stressors or long-standing issues, I'm here to support you on your journey toward healing. I believe deeply in the power of our innate inner wisdom—that each of us possesses everything necessary for our own healing.

"And then the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud became more painful than the risk it took to blossom." Allow me to be your guide and ally as we work together to transform your wounds into strengths, your difficulties into rewards, and move into the rich and meaningful life that is your birthright. I have particular expertise in: (1) unresolved trauma; (2) depression, grief, anxiety, and other challenging emotional states; and (3) existential/spiritual issues and crisis - finding meaning/purpose, exploring identity and values, working with non-ordinary experiences and states of mind, and life transition.

At the center of my practice is the belief that we all must learn how to experience the discomfort of feeling and processing difficult emotions. It feels uncomfortable to set boundaries, hold ourselves accountable, hold others accountable, work through our personal struggles with self-love, identify our own maladaptive patterns, and live authentically. In discovering and cultivating the authentic version of ourselves, we all must learn to push through the discomfort of vulnerability. I love working as hard as my clients to support them through that discomfort so they can grow through that difficult process!
