Borderline Personality (BPD) Therapists in South Salt Lake, UT

Many people come to my office saying: "Nothing ever changes in my life"; "I'm not good enough"; "I work so hard! Where is my success?"; "Why can't I get along with my partner?"; and, "I feel so alone." In each of these settings, I use a fun-loving, real and powerful approach - using evidence-based therapies and effective interpersonal skills - to validate, accept and support my clients in achieving their goals. I do this by teaching them skills to enjoy their life and relationships, and regulate intense physical, spiritual, mental, and/or emotional thoughts and behaviors.

I have a strong belief in the possibilities of healing, growth and change within an authentic collaborative client/therapist relationship. I have over 18 years of experience working with individuals and families recovering from trauma, living with chronic illness, working through relationship concerns and facing the challenges of mental illness. Taking the first steps to heal is often difficult, or even painful, however in doing so we can create a "path with heart" and meaning. I take a mindfulness based, goal oriented and active approach to therapy with focus on developing critical life skills.

Finding a therapist and beginning treatment can feel overwhelming, yet the benefits and healing that are possible through therapy are worth taking the leap. You are in the right place to begin your healing process! My goal is to provide you and your family with the specific treatment, support, empowerment, knowledge, and guidance needed to help you to work through challenging issues, build resiliency, and accomplish your life goals. With the right therapeutic treatment, and dedicated effort on your part, you will be able to get through this tough time, accomplish long-term change, and move in the direction of your goals and dreams.

Life is both endlessly beautiful and complex. I approach each client relationship with the goal that through individual sessions I can help clients tap more deeply into their own beauty while better understanding their own complexity. I work to give you concrete tools that you can use in everyday life to more adeptly navigate change, relationship difficulties, trauma, depression, anxiety, and ADHD. My approach is collaborative. Together we will use multiple therapeutic tools to dig deeper into patterns of thought and behavior, including DBT, CBT, and Mindfulness techniques.

Live your life free of depression, anxiety, and disconnection! I offer genuine acceptance and connection in a way that allows for us to unpack, understand, and work with emotions, empowering you to become unstuck and to navigate life as your authentic self. It doesn't take long to nail down strategies and skills for immediate and long-lasting improvement to your quality of life! Together, we'll combine proven, research-based therapies (DBT, CBT, Mindfulness training) to meet the goals that come from your truest self.

Welcome to Sego Lily Counseling! We know that finding the right therapist can feel like an overwhelming task. We have over 20 clinicians at our 4 locations so we can find the right fit for you! We have therapists who specialize in anxiety, depression, OCD, eating disorders, self-harming behaviors, trauma, play therapy, relationships, LGBTQ+ issues, faith transitions and more. Our therapists are trained in EMDR, ACT, ERP, CBT, DBT, and more. We would love to talk with you to help match you with the right clinician.

Feeling stuck in life? Struggling with compulsive behavior? Battling sexual addiction and the shame that accompanies it? Suffering from traumatic betrayal in your relationship? These are heavy issues for most therapists to treat, much less trying to navigate them on your own. You deserve support and guidance from a therapist who is not only familiar with these issues, but also has over 15 years of counseling experience working with teens, adults, couples and partners.

How would it feel to be certain of who you are-let's find out how you can be the expert of your own life! I focus from several evidence-based & trauma-informed therapy models with adult individuals, relationship systems & groups. I am experienced in attachment, chronic health Issues, disability & medical trauma, life & belief transitions, gender & LGBTQ+ & alternative partnerships. I'm passionate about working with individuals whose lives have been deeply altered by a major event including a medical trauma, disability or career loss. I have limited space for high-specialization-match clients

As your therapist, I hope to facilitate your journey toward self-discovery and empower you to uncover the answers already residing within. My approach is trauma-informed and draws from Narrative Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Positive Psychology. I believe that we can uncover deep and meaningful healing through curiosity about how we experience the world, our relationships with others, and our relationships with ourselves. This journey is yours, and I am honored to be a part of it.

As we struggle to meet the demands of life, we often do battle with ourselves. We may end up feeling lost, stuck, alone, and overwhelmed; struggling to feel comfortable in our own skin, to feel like we belong, and to just live. If you are yearning for ways to reconnect with life, to leave behind ruts, and to learn to love yourself and others, there is hope in therapy.

I evaluate children, teens, & adults with questions of ADHD, autism, learning disabilities, and related emotional dysregulation and problems in functioning. Families can experience major frustration in finding interventions that are individualized to people’s unique needs: going through years of therapy and not feeling any better; getting conflicting feedback from other clinicians; having several diagnoses that don’t seem to align with what you’re going through; treatments that don’t seem to get you to your goals. Having a clear diagnosis is key in establishing a treatment plan and supporting interventions that are a good fit.

We've hired 3 new therapists recently, and we have multiple immediate openings in SLC and Orem. We are a group of therapists with many backgrounds and specialties. No matter what your struggles, it is important to know you are not alone in this journey and we want to help. Your therapist will collaborate with you to understand the challenges and struggles you are facing and compassionately work with you toward long-lasting insight, strategies, change, liberation, and real progress toward an authentic and meaningful life and warm trusting relationships. If you're ready to work toward the life you've always wanted contact us today!

I provide individual, couple and family therapy as well as substance abuse and mental health evaluations. There are many different methods I may use to work with the particular problems that you are addressing. The length of time you spend with me varies depending on the particular problems that you are experiencing.

It takes courage to seek the help of a therapist. My primary concern when I first meet a client is to respond with empathy and sensitivity to the distress which brings you to my office. In an atmosphere of genuine safety and acceptance we can begin the process of collaborating to understand and resolve your concerns. I draw on a number of theoretical perspectives and more than 20 years of clinical experience to provide therapy that is as effective as possible, in a compassionate, confidential and comfortable setting.
