Substance Use Therapists in Utah

You're sitting, talking with a group of friends in a place you have been a hundred times before. Suddenly, everything starts getting far away, feeling unfamiliar, voices muffling. Your heart starts racing. You clench your hands together to keep them from shaking and realize they are clammy. You're looking for the nearest exit; looking at the faces around you to see if anyone notices that you are off. The internal terror and turmoil are rising and you know it's only a matter of time before you completely lose your mind.

Brooke loves connecting with various groups of people. She believes that nothing is more powerful than a therapeutic connection between therapist and client that is based on trust, security, and honesty. Her approach is caring, yet honest. Her goal is to help clients feel safe to share their private affairs by drawing out things that need to be addressed in the most sensitive but approachable way. Brooke utilizes ACT therapy, DBT, CBT, CPT, EMDR, and Inner Child Experiential Psychotherapy in her work.

Are you looking to strengthen your relationships, improve your emotional well-being, or navigate a challenging life transition? I believe everyone deserves to feel supported and empowered, and I'm here to walk alongside you on your journey toward growth and healing. Therapy is a collaborative process. I'm passionate about helping people navigate relationship complexities. I create a safe and supportive space where you can openly explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Together, we'll identify your goals and develop personalized strategies to help you overcome obstacles and create lasting change.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by relationship challenges, struggling to communicate effectively, or longing for greater connection and intimacy with your partner or family? You're not alone. As a marriage and family therapist, I understand the complexities of human relationships and the importance of finding solutions that work for you. My approach is deeply rooted in empathy and collaboration, focusing on your unique needs and goals.

Being a human being is hard. Everyone could benefit from a place to be unashamedly, unabashedly themselves, struggles and all. I am a warm, compassionate therapist who truly believes in the healing power of the therapeutic relationship. Above all else, I am a human being who experiences joy and suffering just like everybody else. I'm passionate about utilizing evidence-based techniques (such as DBT, CBT, and ACT) combined with my own humanity to help others reach their goals.

Working in community mental health and the broad scope of clients I have worked has taught me the most important skill that is needed in psychotherapy- connection! My greatest skill is the ability to build rapport, connection and ultimately a therapeutic relationship, which is the cornerstone of success in therapy. This happens through active listening, determining the problem's and diagnosis, then creating a personalized treatment plan with goals. My most successful clients are the ones who put in the work outside of the sessions to meet there prescribed goals. 'Nothing changes if nothing changes'.

My goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. As the clinical director of South Point Counseling Services, I have gathered a team of clinicians that are committed to providing outstanding services. I believe that lasting changes come from identifying the source of problems, working within the context of the family and challenging/changing dysfunctional beliefs. In addition to being a prominent relationship therapist, I have presented at national conferences and to general audiences, speaking on the topics of Anger Management, Depression, Marital Relationship, and Cultural Diversity.

I provide supervision to clinicians working towards complete licensure. Please inquire for a consultation and fees.

Have you ever wondered what it takes to create REAL long-lasting change? In today's information world, many of us know "what" we need to do, but few of us know "how" to implement and stick with it. The clients I work with are motivated to change so they can have a greater impact but have trouble executing consistently. These could be health-related habits like building a new workout routine, work-related tasks like avoiding distraction to increase productivity or catching destructive negative emotions. I'll teach you scientifically proven tactics to implement permanent change, overcome emotional barriers, and hold you accountable.

My goal as a therapist is to provide a safe space to explore issues that have created significant barriers to growth, healing, and change. If you've experienced a stressful, troubling event that's left you feeling powerless, you may have been traumatized. I utilize the latest research to help those affected to not only begin the process of healing, but learn how to engage and effectively diminish and manage symptoms. I am trauma-informed, with training in mind body bridging, a holistic therapeutic approach incorporating the mind, body, spirit, and emotions that support the healing process. I am also trained in IBSR, and EMDR.

Healing Pathways Therapy Center provides a safe nurturing environment for adults, adolescents, and children to focus on relationship, well-being and mental health issues. We focus on topics such as life adjustment, depression, anxiety, relationship and family issues, divorce, phobias, trauma, addictions, etc. We specialize in trauma and childhood attachment issues, working to resolve big or little traumas or negative experiences which tend to impede emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual growth. We focus on healing rather than just coping, by finding resolving underlaying issue rather than just putting a bandaid on symptoms.

I believe people seek therapy from all walks of life, in search of personal growth and fulfillment. It takes courage to realize that your life is not where you would like it to be and to reach out to a therapist in search of a more gratifying life. Whether you're struggling to adjust to new life situations or feeling like you're in crisis, together we can navigate through the hardship and bring balance to your life.

Do you feel like your emotions come out of nowhere? Your anxiety or depression getting worse, no matter what you do? A strange but relevant question I might ask is, "What did you eat today?" The foundation for mental health is nutrition. Our biochemistry is an essential part of our mental health which is often neglected. If we have low blood sugar or our brains are deficient in neurotransmitters, talk therapy will make slow progress. I can help you heal your brain with nutritional supplements and then we can process the issues that are causing you distress more effectively.

My focus is on helping those in need to find peace, motivation, a new way of thinking, direction, and joy. I work with most client issues but my specialties include: couples, anxiety, addiction, domestic violence, anger, marriage and relationship conflicts, teenager struggles, family dynamics, depression, and weight management.

I specialize in adolescents, young adults & parenting. My main areas of expertise are processing information challenges (as defined by rigid thinking, stress sensitive, disorganized, "not getting it", struggles with change/transitions, & social struggles), anxiety, depression, ADHD, attachment/adoption, trauma & problematic pornography viewing. I help clients build resilience in their lives to more effectively face their challenges & take an active approach when needed with experiential therapy (going for a walk, jog, hike or bike ride--depending on the need & value to help the client progress and grow). EMDR trained.

I believe counseling can facilitate learning how to deeply heal from what has wounded us, and what may still be hurting us. Dr. Steven C. Hayes suggests “we hurt where we care and care where we hurt”. Paradoxically, pain is often deeply connected to the values of the heart. Therapy is often re-connecting or discovering our own values – qualities of being and doing – is an ongoing process of implementing larger and larger values-based patterns through trial and error.
