Therapists Beginning With W in Utah

When we fall short of the successful lives we imagine it is often because we lack in a skill set or have something specific holding us back. Lucky for us- humans are adaptable! We can change the way we think, feel and behave and learn new skills that better serve us. As an EMDR therapist I strive to connect genuinely with my clients in order for therapy to be a safe space for change to take place. I prioritize meeting my clients where they are at while still empowering them to grow.

Hi, I'm Kayla! I am a trauma informed LCSW therapist here to make therapy accessible so you can create a life that feels meaningful and fulfilling, regardless of your past. I work with teenagers and adults struggling with a variety of challenges including anxiety, depression, PTSD, eating disorders, body image, self-esteem, suicidal ideation, pornography use, OCD, grief and loss, adjustment disorders, and relationship issues, among others. I am trained in EMDR and have experience utilizing therapy modalities including MI, CBT, ACT, DBT, and IFS.

I believe that real growth and deep change is possible with the right therapeutic relationship. I love witnessing this growth and change my clients experience in therapy. Through this process, my clients heal past wounds, overcome addictive tendencies, and connect more deeply to themselves and others.

I am a narcissist survivor. Therapy helped me untangle and reassign responsibility in my experiences. I understand the pain of emotional abuse, single motherhood, divorce, trauma and the heartache of feeling alone and unimportant. Life gets hard and unfair. My personal experiences give me deep empathy for my clients. My goal is to help others find themselves, heal from depression and trauma, and learn to use their voice with confidence and power. I understand the science behind good relationships and want to empower you in finding peace, connection, healing, and belonging.

Therapy should never be easy, but it should always be worth it. I work with couples, families, and individuals seeking help with relationship issues, depression, anxiety, betrayal trauma and infidelity, faith transitions, re-marriage and stepfamily blending, unwanted pornography use, and ADHD. I believe that "Self-compassion is far more likely to move us forward than self-hatred." -Dr. Jennifer Finlayson-Fife. I would be honored to help you find that self-compassion, which will benefit you individually and in your relationships.

I am so glad you are here! I am a Professional Counselor licensed to practice in Idaho, Utah and Florida. My research and areas of interest has focused on EMDR, women's issues, postpartum, adoption-related issues, anxiety, depression, trauma, and abuse. Counseling is a vulnerable process and I am committed to navigating it with you free of shame or judgement because the work we will do together is BRAVE and COURAGEOUS!

I am Deven West, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and I am dedicated to improving the mental and emotional well being of my clients. I focus on supporting my clients through their personal healing and progress. My priorities are to create a safe and conducive environment for my clients to trust the therapeutic process. I help support the therapeutic journey of my clients by learning important interactions of thoughts and emotions, managing negative narratives, working to address maladaptive behaviors, and understanding relationship dynamics with others.

I love empowering individuals to take control of their lives through therapy. I focus on religious/life transitions, women’s sexuality, and challenges related to suicidality/self-harm. I work with adults and teenagers and recognize the profound impact of family dynamics and personal systems on individual happiness. To address these dynamics, I work with individuals, families, and couples, helping them identify and address system malfunctions. Furthermore, I am deeply committed to supporting the LGBTQ community on their journey toward self-actualization, drawing upon extensive experience and passion for this work.

My name is Jonathan West, and I am a licensed clinical social worker. During therapy, I believe it is important to take a client-centered approach towards addressing any presenting issues. You know you best and I will be a tour guide in helping to overcome any obstacles. I take a client-centered approach where you are in the driver's seat. I see myself as the navigator in being able to get you where you need to go but it is up to you push the accelerator. I utilize a variety of different theories to navigate such as solution-focused, motivational interviewing, CBT, and DBT to name a few.

As a clinician, I specialize in working with adults with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem/self-compassion, relationship problems, and histories of trauma. I am also passionate about working with women including those who have experienced grief/loss with fertility issues, miscarriage, pregnant, or postpartum. I know, at times, you may feel so overwhelmed just trying to keep your head above water, or you may just want to explore ways to help you connect with your authentic self. No matter where you may be on your journey there is so much that we can do together to get you where you want to be.

Are you stressed out? Experiencing painful emotions or thoughts, relationship difficulties, health issues, a problematic past, or a significant loss or change? If so, you don't have to face things alone. Life can be difficult and we all benefit from times of extra support and attention. I’ve spent 17 years in the mental health field successfully using evidence-based methods to assist adults who are facing life’s most complex challenges. I provide counseling services via telephone or video-conferencing for individuals residing anywhere throughout the entire states of Utah and Arizona, and I'd be honored to work with you.

We all tell ourselves stories that aren't true. It might be that we're incapable, not enough, or "Just too messed up". My job is to support and walk with you as we deconstruct those beliefs, redefine what a beautiful life looks like while leaving behind what no longer serves you. I love building strong therapeutic relationships, I use multiple strategies and my approach is eclectic. I provide gender affirming care in a safe, validating, non-judgmental, peaceful space for people to explore their identity. I also help individuals leaving high demand religions/cults.

Let me guess, you've been in therapy for years and nothing has helped much? You are not alone. Mental health treatment has failed clients who suffer from complex developmental trauma. This is the trauma that happened as a child and there was no escaping the day to day nightmare of not being kept safe. These clients do not benefit from traditional cognitive-behavioral treatment approaches and talk therapy. They likely have high levels of dissociation and a chronic sense of disconnection from themself and others. They have had to turn on themselves in order to survive the unimaginable. It is time to return home to yourself.

I believe in the power of a strong therapeutic relationship, and the inherent resilience and strength each person holds. I work from a trauma-informed and psychodynamic perspective, understanding that life's experiences shape and impact who we are and how we function immensely. Through these various experiences, many of us develop maladaptive coping strategies and unhelpful beliefs, and have lost sight of our resilience and inner knowing. We each have the ability to redirect our faulty beliefs, and to know and trust ourselves again. It's never too late to find new meaning and connection, and to create a life worth living.

My goal as a therapist is to help you discover true connection within yourself and to others through deep exploration of your past experiences, and future hopes and desires. Together we can find the healing and change you may be looking for, and develop a strong sense of self through strength based approaches, mindfulness techniques, and acceptance and commitment therapy. Trained in a psychodynamic approach, we will explore the unconscious mind and help bring awareness to your thoughts and patterned behaviors. I also use modalities such as EMDR and Neurofeedback to help calm and stabilize clients and work through traumas.

I specialize in the treatment of trauma and postpartum mental health concerns. Whether you are trying to recover from traumatic experiences that are impacting your life and relationships, or pregnancy and childbirth have triggered unexpected emotions and difficulties, your story matters. I believe that hope, change, and healing are possible, even when experiencing deep emotional distress. Our work together will create space for you to understand your pain in a compassionate way, gain insight into your experience, and uncover new ways to cope.

Hello! I'm Kelley, and I'm thrilled to be part of your healing journey as a therapist. I am dedicated to cultivating a safe, inclusive, and compassionate environment where individuals can feel heard and understood. As a good listener and empathetic practitioner, I will meet you where you are, honor your unique story, and provide unwavering support. To me, therapy requires a collaborative effort where I see you as the expert in your own life and we work together to discover the best path forward that feels most authentic to you.

Do you feel alone and unbalanced, like you’re spread thin without relief in sight? Do you feel guilty for not feeling the way you “should”? Have you lost hope? Stress and despair around issues such as pregnancy loss, infertility, pregnancy complications, birth trauma, unplanned pregnancies, postpartum anxiety and depression and the transition to parenthood often go unaddressed, leaving women and their families feeling disjointed and alone. It's time to break the silence and reclaim the hope you deserve. Your story is unique and warrants individualized attention as you work to rebuild in a safe, supportive environment.
