Therapists Beginning With P in Utah
It has been my great fortune to provide psychological counseling to children, adolescents, adults, and families on the Wasatch Front for many years. I have discovered that psychotherapy works best when provided in a supportive and accepting environment. I take an active role; yet believe that respect and collaboration are critical in the therapeutic process. Through collaboration, we will work together to find ways of reducing stress and anxiety in your life, while also establishing new ways to cope with difficulties that are consistent with your personal values and beliefs.

Are you ready to explore your life and make it more meaningful and fulfilling? I believe that the overall goal of therapy is to reconnect with who you are, and with that knowledge, live more authentically. The more we come to know and accept ourselves, the more fulfilling our lives and our relationships become. My name is Dede, and I am here to help you on your journey of self-exploration.

I am licensed in both Utah and Virginia. I specialize in women's mental health with the overarching goals of helping women find wholeness and develop resilience. I can help with depression, anxiety, trauma, life transitions, healthy habit-building, strengths-building, thought and emotion management, and more. I believe that the therapeutic process is most effective when it is collaborative, compassionate, and focuses not just on what seems to be going wrong, but also on what is fundamentally right (e.g., personal strengths).

Colby is passionate about life and about helping others to discover that same passion. He recognizes that we all go through life experiences that shape and form us into who we are today. Through those experiences, we can become stuck, discouraged, overwhelmed, feeling helpless, and hopeless. This can keep us from being able to maximize our happiness and joy. Colby uses a combination of therapy modalities to help us understand why we are the way we are, come to accept who we are, and then challenge ourselves to become our best self through intrapersonal and interpersonal growth.

I specialize in working with people that struggle with feeling inadequate and undeserving of love. Self-destructive cycles may be the result of such and I can help break those with my experiences in similar patterns. I am mindful of the person in their environment with my approach as we didn't create all of our problems and yet we get to solve them anyway. I hope to support healthy self-care, boundaries, and more effective interpersonal interactions. I believe it is important to adjust behavior, thinking patterns, and beliefs that may hinder your path toward your greater long-term joy.

You deserve to be happy, every person does, but life is hard. It can feel like you're barely keeping your nose above the water on the best of days; on the worst of days you feel thousands of feet below the water. Everyday stresses are hard enough, but trauma, depression, and/or anxiety are like weights tied to your ankles, making it even harder to stay afloat. Even worse, society makes us feel defective if we admit to needing help, but society is so very wrong. It takes great strength to ask for help. You're reading this, looking for someone to remove the weights from your ankles and give you a life raft. I can do that for you.

Pain, sadness, anger, worry are all part of the human experience. It's when these emotions become overwhelming that we begin to wonder how much more we can take and start to look for someone to help. I work with clients who are at the end of their rope and need someone to turn to. I can help with depression, anxiety, stress, grief, trauma and other mental struggles that tend to affect our abilities to function in life.

The difficulties we experience in life are often uncomfortable and lonely. My interest is in helping you develop compassion for yourself which will help you use your power to move through struggles, uncomfortable emotions, and suffering with openness and kindness. I recognize that it can be difficult to be vulnerable and share your challenges in therapy. Therefore, my goal in our sessions is to create a sense of safety that enables you to increase self-understanding, build flexible thinking, and experience personal growth.

I love watching people heal from their emotional wounds and I love treating trauma. Whether we have anxiety, depression, or post traumatic stress, we all experience various levels of trauma. I enjoy getting to know people on a deeper, meaningful level, and then peeling back the surface layers of what is seen and exploring the unseen to get to the root of problems. Therapy, done well, is vulnerable and sometimes frightening, but it is incredibly rewarding for my clients and me. I love to watch my clients discover new, wonderful things about themselves as they gradually see themselves in new, hopeful ways.
