Therapists Beginning With O in Utah

Let me give you a challenge. For the next 30 days I want you to think about this phrase every day. Write it down and really consider it. "Most of our thoughts, behaviors and emotions are habitual. We wonder why our lives don't change but fail to consider that we are utterly predictable in our daily habits." Our brain seeks to make things habitual. And, you guessed it - that's a key factor in change. Call me, I help people go further in their lives/careers/ and relationships. I've spent 20 years deep in the science of change. If you don't know how to change things - that's OK because I do. Let's untie the knots and stop the pain.

Relationships are the purpose and joy of life. I am passionate and dedicated to helping my clients create healthy relationships with themselves and others. I provide individual psychotherapy to children, adolescents and adults, as well as couples' therapy and family therapy. I help my clients discover destructive thoughts, behaviors, and patterns, and implement effective tools that will catalyze healing and empowerment. These strategies enable confident navigation of complicated and dynamic relationships, which leads to a more joyful and fulfilling life.

Trauma and EMDR are my passions due to personal experiences with PTSD and the healing I’ve witnessed and experienced through EMDR. I have worked with individuals in a generalized practice experience including anxiety, depression, OCD, suicidality, childhood abuse, etc... Am gaining an increased skill level with those who have experienced PTSD, complex PTSD, Dissociative Disorders (general), & Dissociative Identity Disorder. Attachment Theory, Adaptive Information Processing Model, Polyvagal Theory and Systems Theory are the bases from which I work.

Do you wonder if you will ever feel like enough? Do you struggle with oppressive perfectionism? Do you suffer from shame, fear and guilt? Do you feel like the life you want is always out of reach? Let's work together to establish a strong sense of self worth, process out traumatic experiences, and find greater hope and peace in your life. I specialize in working with individuals who have experienced trauma, faith transitions, grief, anxiety, depression, and body image issues.

I am a licensed Associate Clinical Mental Health Therapist in Utah. I completed my M.Ed. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Utah in 2024. I work with individuals (adolescents and adults) and diverse relationship structures (families, couples, and partnerships). I am dedicated to supporting my clients in fostering a deep connection with their authentic selves, connecting to others with intimacy and love, and leading meaningful and fulfilling lives.

"The next suitable person you’re in light conversation with, you stop suddenly in the middle of the conversation and look at the person closely and say, “What’s wrong?” (...) He’ll say, “What do you mean?” You say, “Something’s wrong. I can tell. What is it?” He’ll look stunned and say, “How did you know?” He doesn’t realize something’s always wrong, with everybody. Often more than one thing. He doesn’t know everybody’s always going around all the time with something wrong and believing they’re exerting great willpower and control to keep other people, for whom they think nothing’s ever wrong, from seeing it." -David Foster Wallace

We all have strengths and skills. Sometimes we have tried everything and are out of ideas. If we knew a better way, we would use it! Sometimes we face challenges we could not anticipate or prepare for. The stress we deal with, the depression or anxiety we feel, can interfere with our relationships or functioning and become an obstacle to the life we want. Understanding how our past shapes our present can help us create a more hopeful, satisfying future. If your challenges have brought you to the point where you are ready for additional support, I’d like to help you increase your tool box and reconnect with your own resilience.

Perhaps you've been struggling with complex OCD, a Body Focused Repetitive Behavior like Trichotillomania or Skin Picking, or a Tic disorder or Tourette and have been to numerous therapists that just don't seem to get it or provide the treatment you are looking for. Sound familiar? We want to help you get back to the big, beautiful life you deserve, and we have the expertise, training, and experience to help you get there. We are a team of therapists licensed to serve 20+ states who utilize practical evidence-based treatments to help you not just survive but thrive.

I’m excited for the opportunity to work with you. I favor using CBT, DBT, Narrative Therapy, Solution-focused Therapy, and behavioral techniques. I advocate for living your best life by finding ways to improve it, and I firmly believe that we have within ourselves the power and answers to address what challenges we face. Generally, I work with adult individuals, but I also have worked closely with others in the disability community for the past several years with an emphasis on ADHD and ASD.

I serve a variety of clients. However, many come in wanting to talk about specific diagnoses like anxiety, depression, bipolar, ADHD, or Autism. Others want to talk about emotional regulation, becoming more in-tune with their body, and relationships. You may want to soundboard your thoughts to be more organized, or you would like another perspective on what you are addressing. I am here to sit with you as you decide on your needs and goals.

In our sessions, you'll find a broad range of services to meet your unique needs. Whether you're struggling with trauma, adjustment to life changes, or dealing with the demands of high-stress professions, I provide an experienced, culturally informed, and judgment-free space just for you. You can count on support for anxiety, depression, grief/loss, substance use, and others. I'm here to assist with anger management, attention/focus challenges, and relationship/marriage challenges. Common goals include enhancing communication, conflict resolution, and the development of coping skills. Your journey is personal, and I'm dedicated.

My ideal client would be someone open to the experience. Anyone dealing with anxiety, depression, life changes, or any issues impacting their desired quality of life, willing to work towards personal growth.

Tricia O'Connor provides individuals seeking therapy in Idaho a safe, nonjudgmental space to unpack and process life's events. She has completed training in emotionally focused individual therapy (EFIT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT).

For Families, Teens and Adolescents: Through a strengths-based lens and a systems approach, I work with each family according to their unique needs, goals, challenges, and strengths. Teenager's capacity to work through difficulties while cultivating joy, emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and perspective taking, is contingent on the clinician and caregivers ability to hold space for them along the way. I believe that structure, coupled with individualized attention, flexible interventions and examining family dynamics, are key to helping young people develop a strong sense of self and wellbeing in today’s tumultuous world.

I work with couples, adult individuals, and adolescents (14+), and focus on helping clients connect with themselves and others through emotional engagement. My goal in therapy is to help my clients increase awareness of their emotional experience, develop safe and secure relationships, and live according to their personal values.

Sometimes, life is unpredictable. Before we know it, we can end up in a hole that appears too big to climb out of. This is particularly the case with our traumatic experiences. Whether it is big or little, traumatic experiences carry with us throughout our lives, creating lasting impressions on who we are and what we are capable of. Luckily, we have developed ways to overcome and climb out of the hole.

I get excited about working with my clients - getting to know you is the BEST part of what I do. And I totally understand what a leap of courage it can be to go to therapy. I'd love to hear what you have already tried, why it hasn't worked (or if it has, too), and what seems to be blocking your path. These are very helpful clues in our path of discovery. From there, I have a tool bag we can draw from, and with your feedback, we'll find something that works. :) Your feedback is the key!

So many of us have had to disconnect from ourselves to survive in some way, often due difficult experiences that overwhelmed our capacity to cope. As a result, you may be finding that the way you relate to yourself is negatively impacting how you show up in your life and relationships. Perhaps you find yourself engaging in patterns that are harming you despite efforts to stop—leaving you feeling stuck, alone, or even broken. I'm here to help you find new ways of relating to yourself and equip you with tools for coping more effectively. Whatever it is that brings you to therapy, we will work together to find healing.
