Therapists in Utah
Do you want to join a therapy process group? Have you benefited from therapy but want to get more out of it? I conduct long-term therapy process groups for those who want to work on connecting with their emotions, with other people, and with themselves in meaningful and life changing ways. The process groups I run don’t focus on a particular topic, but people in these groups work on such things as anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and relationship problems. I am currently not taking new individual or couples therapy clients, but do have openings for new group therapy clients. I have groups for adults and licensed therapists.

Tired of going in circles with talk therapy? Me too…I find that many problems we experience (unwanted compulsive behaviors, low self-esteem, trauma, faith crisis, suicidal desire, etc.) are rooted in subconscious limiting beliefs and nervous system dysregulation, which are formed by our relationships. Targeting these beliefs and changing our relationship with ourselves while developing powerful skills refreshes the narrative and purpose of our lives. There is meaning in all of it and beauty really does come from the ashes.

I know what it's like to silently struggle with your demons. I know what it's like to hit rock bottom, only to find that it can get even worse. The most important thing you can know about me is that I am human, and I understand that we all have our very own set of struggles! I primarily see young adults, and couples. I often work with people who are struggling with life transitions, as well as building better relationships/ marriages. Stress management as well as self-esteem are other big areas that I specialize in!

The space where I feel alone, no one would understand where I am, and believing I can't tell anybody; that's where we meet. Reaching out and making that first phone call can be the hardest part of therapy. If you are experiencing symptoms such as anxiety, depression, high levels of stress that are affecting your friendships, relationship with your spouse, your work, relationships with your children, your business, or your daily life; therapy can be of great help. I specialize in trauma therapy using EMDR, divorce, infidelity, shame, self-esteem, and relationship issues. Office appointments are now available.

My therapy practice is fueled by my core belief that each of us as human beings have innate worth as well as boundless potential for growth and joy. Sometimes we all experience challenges that make it difficult for us to feel that joy and live our lives the way we want to, and I believe that is where therapy can be helpful. My number one priority as a therapist is to create a space for clients to feel safe and heard while we embark on the journey towards change and healing together. I strive to offer real connection and a listening ear, as well as tools and skills to help clients reach their goals.

Hello and welcome! I am deeply committed to creating a gentle, compassionate space for individuals who have endured complex trauma, C-PTSD, childhood/adolescent trauma, abuse, and neglect and are struggling with self-worth, self-esteem, and relationship issues. Your “negative” or painful emotions are valid and may be a response to unprocessed traumatic experiences. You’ve been in survival mode for years and realized at some point you’d like to feel differently about yourself and your life. Together, we can find enough relief, insight, awareness, and empowerment to untangle yourself from trauma and begin living your life on purpose.

Hi, my name is Spencer, thanks for stopping by and taking a look at my profile. Finding the right therapist can be tricky at times. Here's a bit about myself to help you see if we'd be a good fit. My main goal as a therapist is to help others live in congruence with themselves. I believe peace comes and shame is reduced when one is aligned with their personal values. A lot of different events can push us out of alignment, and therapy is great at getting us back on track. Areas I spend a lot of time in are: self esteem, substance abuse, relationships, men's/women's issues, life transitions, anxiety/depression.

Do you ever feel stuck in your relationship? Are you exhausted from repeating the same fight over and over again and never really resolving anything? Do you sometimes wonder if you'd be better off alone? Do you wonder if you or your partner is capable of lasting change? Do you secretly fear that you are broken and unable to sustain true intimacy? Do you long to be in a relationship where you are truly seen, loved, understood and cherished? I believe that human beings are wired for intimacy. There is nothing in the human experience that can take the place of true intimacy with another.

Self Esteem Therapists
When should a person seek therapy for low self-esteem?
When self-esteem problems begin to disrupt the healthy daily functioning of an individual, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If a person finds that they are not engaging with friends for fear of being judged, not completing work assignments because they don’t think they’re capable, or not finding romantic love because they don’t feel they’re worthy of it, a therapist may be able to help.
What are the signs of low self-esteem?
Low self-esteem is a common issue that can affect a person's mental and emotional well-being. Some common signs of low self-esteem include negative self-talk, perfectionism, social anxiety, difficulty making decisions, an inability to set boundaries, people-pleasing, and others. A lack of belief in oneself or one’s abilities and a feeling of not being worthy or deserving underlie most of these characteristics.
What causes low self-esteem?
Feelings of low self-worth can begin in childhood or adulthood. Being raised by a highly critical parent or growing up feeling constant disapproval can stay with a person well into adulthood. Specific issues in adulthood may also be a cause of low self-esteem. An unhappy relationship, a dysfunctional work or school experience can impact a person’s feelings of self-worth.
How can therapy improve self-esteem?
Therapists can help identify negative thought patterns that keep the client stuck in a loop of destructive self-talk and develop coping skills to change the voice in their head. A therapist can help with goal-setting, so that clients are better able to stay on task and build confidence from successfully completing work they’re proud of. Coaching a client on how to better communicate can improve relationships. These skills can result in someone with low self-esteem feeling empowered and living with less fear.
