UnitedHealthcare UHC | UBH Therapists in Salt Lake City, UT

I've worked with clients from all walks of life, primarily teens, and young adults. My current focus utilizes aspects of Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness, and Motivational Interviewing (MI). I'm EMDR trained and Gottman level 1 certified . With a somatic lens and trauma informed approach I enjoy working with clients experiencing life transitions, anxiety, depression, sexuality, relationship issues, and trauma.

We are a group of LGBTQIA affirming clinicians that are dedicated to meeting our clients where they are at and supporting them with exploring their unique identities, hardships, strengths and personal goals. We are honored to serve and support the dynamic young people of our community by giving them a safe space to process past trauma, grief, interpersonal challenges, family issues and more. We use a person centered and strength based approach to building positive relationships with our clients that allow them to feel seen, appreciated for who they are and supported with building a stronger sense of self, purpose and value.

Hey there! Are you ready to embark on a journey towards greater well-being and self-discovery? I'm Valerie, your compassionate guide on this path of personal growth. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Phoenix, and I bring over 10 years of experience to our sessions. I'm licensed as a Clinical Mental Health Counselor (CMHC) in Utah, and my approach is all about blending mindfulness and self-care strategies into holistic and client-centered methods.

Are you seeking a new and enjoyable way to approach the challenges you face? I am a licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (CMHC) and a certified hypnotherapist and NLP practitioner. I provide an inviting atmosphere where you can comfortably journey towards self-improvement. I believe that nobody's broken, just in need of change. Rest assured, discovering new thought patterns can be a truly invigorating exploration.

I’m passionate about helping gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and queer clients in a variety of areas. I often help clients build and maintain healthy relationships, work through depression, stress, or anxiety, navigate relationships with less accepting family or friends, deal with difficulties surrounding coming out, overcome sexual challenges, and manage shame, discrimination and stigma.

Life’s journey can be full of unexpected twists that test our resilience, but you’re not alone. Taking the step to seek therapy is a brave path toward personal growth, and I’m here to support you every step of the way. I believe in therapy as a partnership, where we work together to explore your goals and aspirations. Whether you’re a family, child, teen, young adult, or adult, my approach is tailored to your unique needs. Through both in-person and telehealth sessions, let’s embark on this journey together, empowering you to thrive and find inner peace amidst life’s challenges.

My approach to therapy is based in my trust in the resilience of people and my passion for helping people grow and heal. I serve individuals by integrating a range of therapeutic techniques catered to the individual needs of my clients. I often work with people on addressing anxiety, depression, trauma, and OCD. Making the decision to start counseling is a brave and hopeful act. I'm committed to providing a safe environment where you may talk about your struggles and sources of inspiration.

Our lives are a journey with many ups, downs, and pathways we can choose. Sometimes we can become entangled in this journey and get lost down a path that does not suit us. My journey thus far has led me here to continue down my path of helping others obtain their best and most fulfilled life possible. I am here to listen with an open mind and reflect with you on whatever part of your journey you are on. Starting therapy can be an intimidating process, and sharing with someone you don’t know can feel uncomfortable.

Hello, my name is Marcos Uboldi. I am a graduate of the University of Utah Masters’ of Social Work Program. I have been in the social work/counseling field for over 20 years. The majority of my work has been with grief and loss. I have also worked with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, family and marriage problems, stress, and cultural/racial challenges. I am originally from Argentina, and I have lived in Brazil, Mexico, Ecuador, Venezuela, and the United States.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist and a graduate of The Chicago School of Professional Psychology in Chicago with a specialization working with children, adolescents, and families. Whether working with youth or adults, I approach therapy from a client-centered, strengths-based perspective while integrating evidence-based methods. I approach evaluations similarly in order to provide a comprehensive assessment and practical recommendations for the individual.

“If your waiting for someone to believe in you, you’ll be waiting forever. You must believe in yourself.” …. Cher I want to understand you as your are and what your story is, not just what you are in counseling for. I build connections based on similarities or shared interests/knowledge/experiences/values. I am here to listen, be your support then help guide you to be happy with what looks back at you in the mirror. Having survived a near death experience, I learned about myself and was able to see my purpose in life. Therapy can heal by providing a safe space to feel held and supported while working through complex life events.

My top priority as a therapist is to support people in being who they genuinely are. I am interested in the beauty which exists within the complexities of our most difficult experiences and predicaments. I try to understand these challenges as unique poetries, which can be both brutally painful and exquisitely fascinating, rather than as diagnoses or problems to be fixed. I strive to prioritize the dynamics of the therapeutic relationship as the most essential means in therapy of exploring your inner world. At times this will be challenging, at other times validating, and always coming from a place of respect for you as a person.

I focus my trauma-informed care on supporting people as they seek to heal from trauma and/or grief as well as learning to see the greatness within themselves. Along with the tools and skills we practice together, you will also gain deeper understanding from education, setting meaningful goals, and developing positive core beliefs.

Dr. Garyn Gulbranson, a licensed Clinical Psychologist with 8+ years of experience, employs various therapies, including Dialectical and Behavioral Therapy. He earned a Psy.D. from Pacific University and completed post-doctoral training at Colorado State University's Health Network. As Director of Utah Tech University's Booth Wellness Center, he specializes in young and older adults, addressing identity, development, anxiety, depression, personality, family dynamics, and trauma.

I believe that each person has the innate ability to overcome life's challenging obstacles. I'm committed to supporting each client and often times their family members through their journey. I have extensive experience working with complex/developmental trauma, PTSD/TBI, attachment disorders, dissociative identity disorders, personality disorders, suicide ideation/intervention/attempt, LGBTQ issues, Veteran specific services and place an emphasis on using the most advanced evidenced based modalities in my practice with clients.

Have you ever thought to yourself: “I know this isn’t my fault & that what I’m thinking isn’t true…so why does it still FEEL like it is?” If you have, I want you to know - that can change and life doesn’t have to always feel this heavy. I want to help you work through the burdensome trauma that others may have put on you so you can start enjoying life again instead of just surviving it.

I believe that connection can be an incredible catalyst for change. I am excited about creating connections with my clients and supporting them as they explore where they want to go. I enjoy working with adolescents, young adults, and adults experiencing life transitions, anxiety, depression, and the impacts of trauma. Exploring body image with clients is also something that I am passionate about.

I have immediate availability! Focusing on the individualized needs of each person, I strive to provide a safe environment where clients feel validated and able to express themselves freely. I value building an empathic, genuine, and positive relationship with my clients. This unique dynamic can assist clients to feel more 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. If you are interested in the why to your life, then you've come to the right place. I thoroughly enjoy digging into what "makes us tick".

Are you or your teen struggling with addiction, ADHD or trauma-related wounds? Do you struggle with feeling alienated by mainstream culture? I have over 6 years experience treating adolescent and adult clients. My approach is unique due to a background in neuroscience, clinical psychology and social work, so I approach therapy by looking at the brain and social environment influences on behavior. My approach to therapy is psychodynamic in nature with a mix of cognitive behavioral techniques. Personally, I am an avid outdoorsman and believe strongly in the transformative power of spending time in nature.
