Salt Lake City, Utah - Counselor

I believe that that the value of therapy is having an objective person's eyes and ears on your struggles and that the process can help you move forward when you are feeling "stuck." Identifying your strengths and ideal solutions are part of a treatment plan that helps us stay focused and determine how effective therapy is in your life. Additionally, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy mode I use to discover what thoughts, feelings and belief systems are at play in feeling "stuck," and produces new ideas about approaching your issues. I am now very excited about implementing the use of a fairly new mode of therapy known as "ACT" that stands for "Acceptance and Commitment Therapy". People walk through this self-discovery process not because it's easy, but to feel better, lighter and more effective in navigating their lives. For the best therapeutic outcome, there needs to be trust and respect between the client and the therapist. I encourage any and all questions to see if we could be a good fit! I have recently decided to add to my bio by specifically letting potential clients know that most of my professional career as a therapist has been in working with sex offenders, their families and victims, as well as having expertise in domestic violence issues. Extreme/ toxic emotional abuse issues are becoming very common and there are now clearly defined cycles of those types of abuse. There seems to be a growing need for attention to these specific problems and a need for a professional who has a lot of experience in addressing these issues. It should also be noted that if someone is in need of sex offender therapy, they must have successfully completed a legally recognized program first. In my private time I enjoy growing organic gardens and cooking with the results, playing outdoors in every season- skiing, camping, hiking, kayaking, and love playing and hiking with my new dog (rescue), Blue. I look forward to meeting you and helping you to discover healthier and more authentic ways of relating to people, but especially ourselves.

As a licensed therapist serving clients in Utah, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on empowering adults and women through transformative therapeutic approaches, with a deep commitment to addressing mental health challenges. My specialities include OCD and anxiety disorders, depression, women's health, postpartum care, and social challenges. My clinical expertise spans diverse areas including relationship dynamics, self-esteem development, life transitions, and multicultural concerns. I bring a compassionate, culturally responsive approach that honors each client's unique identity and lived experience. Drawing from evidence-based practices, I help clients develop resilient coping strategies and cultivate meaningful personal growth. I am particularly passionate about supporting individuals experiencing OCD, social anxiety, panic disorders, chronic health challenges, and those working through complex emotional experiences like postpartum depression and codependency. My therapeutic style emphasizes collaboration, understanding, and creating a supportive environment where clients can explore their strengths and develop powerful tools for emotional wellness. My favorite modalities include ERP, CBT-I, ACT, while integrating skills like self-compassion. I understand that it is important to establish a strong therapeutic alliance to facilitate the therapy process. I also understand that I am not for everyone and that is okay; we all have our strengths & limitations and that is apart of the universal human experience. I enjoy working with clients in which I am a good fit for and vice-versa. I look forward to meeting you.

In Person

Hello. I have been a mental health counselor for 20 years; currently residing in Utah. prior to that was NY and FL. I work with an array of concerns, including, but not limited to marriage and family, childhood trauma, attachment disorder, ADHD, disordered eating, anxiety/mood disorders, anger management, substance use, grief and loss, and some psychotic disorders/behaviors. I have also worked with individuals and families involved with divorce/blended/separation issues; including reunification and parental alienation. As a Christian, I believe in meeting people where they are, with respect, dignity, humility and compassion. My therapeutic approach includes EMDR, existentialism, cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic and solution-focused. Our therapeutic relationship is that of a dance; sometimes you will lead, sometimes I will lead. Our dance will be slow and steady at times and yet other times unsteady and off beat. Please understand that sometimes, the dynamic of the dance will seem uncomfortable and you will doubt whether or not you can continue; rest assured, that is where I begin to lead you. I will teach you the dance, in other words, how to cope with whatever it is you are struggling with. Then one day you will lead, by mastering the skill set needed to overcome whatever difficulties lie ahead in your given situation. It is a process that requires patience, trust and kindness on your part - being kind to yourself, but also, gradually allowing yourself to trust and be patient with the process. It takes great courage to reach out for help from a stranger! And you are very brave and courageous by taking the next best steps in this journey; this dance! I consider it a privilege to work alongside you. Blessings, Jessica
