Therapists Beginning With W in Utah

I love working with adults who want to improve their lives. I have a military background and have a passion with working with active duty members, retirees, veterans and family members. My clients should be looking for a straight-forward therapist who is looking to help them by increasing skills and taking action to help improvement outcomes.

I love helping clients overcome the hurdles in their lives, sometimes in the form of anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship problems, addictions, and trauma histories. My background working with children in foster care and post adoption has enabled me to effectively provide support and guidance for people of all walks of life. If you’re feeling alone, scared, frustrated or hopeless in your suffering, please don’t hesitate to call me. I’m prepared and eager to hear your story and offer my support.

If you have experienced any kind of trauma in your life (anything that feels overwhelming when you think about it) regular psychotherapy can help you understand what you are experiencing and help you find ways to manage yourself and your life so you can find safety, peace and comfort. You can learn to recognize and move past trauma "triggers" to live your best life. You can learn to enjoy alone time as well as time with others and to feel safe in your own skin.

In therapy, even a small change in perspective can make a world of difference. I specialize in working with individuals in treating trauma, anxiety, and depression. I enjoy working with children and teens as well as parents that are having a hard time parenting.

Welcome! I believe every child and teenager deserves to be heard, understood, and supported. With my experience working with kids in the foster care system and the schools, my passion lies in helping children and teenagers overcome challenges and thrive emotionally, socially, and academically. I am dedicated to creating a warm, supportive, and engaging environment where children and adolescents feel safe to express themselves.

I am a Certified Sexual Addiction Therapist (CSAT), certified Emotionally Focused Couples Therapist (EFT), and certified EMDR therapist. Using secure encrypted video conferencing I specialize in helping individuals struggling with sexual addiction/compulsion and their partners, especially those for whom in-person therapy is impossible due to their geographical location or lack of skilled therapists where they reside. Following telehealth regulations my focus is on helping individuals in the two states where I am licensed, Utah and Massachusetts.

Working on yourself and prioritizing personal development isn't always easy. I am the kind of person who values conversation but also cares enough to dig deeper to learn about each of my client's objectives, goals, and dreams. I help facilitate success through each session while putting emphasis on personal development. My background is in healthcare. I have worked with a variety of people in a number of places. I support clients that are living with depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, relationship distress, and complex family issues. I work with people who are looking for more support to cultivate a happier and healthier lifestyle.

People experiencing depression, anxiety and trauma / PTSD can have a range of painful experiences. Day to day, chronic irritability can wear on your nerves, damage your relationships, and drive your stress level sky high. Are you on edge as soon as you start getting ready for the day, feeling sensitive, reactive or foggy even though the sun has barely come up? And when the day is done you want to relax but this is when your heart starts to pound in your chest? None of your coping skills seem to help enough-if you can muster the strength and time to use them. This is the reality of depression, anxiety and trauma.

Colton enjoys being with people; in their best and hardest moments. He prioritizes helping families, couples, and individuals become more healthy in sustainable and independent ways. As a Marriage and Family Therapist, he understands the importance of connection and relationships, and wants to help others feel the power that comes from having their interpersonal needs met. Whether its little tweaks or drastic changes that need to be made, he deeply respects those who are seeking to increase their quality of life and become something more than they once were.

If you’re looking for an expressive, curious, energetic, and let’s get into the hard stuff kinda therapist I’m your girl!

Telehealth: I love what I do! I’ve coached hundreds of women over 2 decades through sobriety, education, parenting, self-love/acceptance and adventure. I help my clients focus forward, set goals, discover the values that are meaningful to them, take accountability, and have "aha" moments. My unique offering is the ability to think creatively of others in the context of their world with an intuitive gift for bringing many ways to look at the same situation. If you're ready for a fresh perspective on your life and the path forward you might take, we are a good fit.

I help couples and families feel more connected when life unfolds in unexpected ways. Feelings of disconnection often occur when stress piles up. Sometimes our lives are turned upside-down in an instant. I believe we all experience times when life feels bigger than our ability to cope.

Every day is a gift with endless possibilities. However, sometimes we have to throw away moments of our lives to fully appreciate the gifts we have been given.

Imagine a place where your feelings of self-doubt, unworthiness, powerlessness, and imperfection are deeply understood and possible to overcome.

We fuse gamma-powered peak performance technology and trauma-informed somatic coaching in a groundbreaking approach that gets results quickly. 96% of our clients feel better after the first session, and 94% are still enjoying greater self-confidence, better relationships, and are feeling empowered to achieve their personal and career goals after 2 years.

In the counseling field I'm not sure if there is an "ideal client," However, I do believe there is an ideal therapist for every client. So, the question is, am I the ideal therapist for you? I have worked with many issues; however, have found that my specialties are in the areas of trauma (PTSD), personality disorders, mood disorders, anxiety, depression, addictions and eating disorders. The "fix you;" therapy is not something I do, as there is no "fixing" to be done. I will help you to identify: needs and goals, internal healing, and that all important balance that you seek. If this is for you then so am I.

I like clients that are unique, meaning I enjoy people's differences. I tend to create the treatment plan around the client and their needs rather than a generic treatment plan. I work with a wide range of clients from children, adolescents, adults as well as couples. I have special interest in Anxiety, Depression, Addictions and Secondary Trauma. I also work with families in conflict and work with parents regarding parenting issues.

Religious trauma. Spiritual abuse. Religious deconstruction. Recovery from purity culture. I have specialized in women with complex trauma for the last eight years, and in the last few years have added a religious trauma certification (from GCRR) to my list of specialties. Like other forms of trauma, religious trauma often manifests as anxiety, depression, and troubled relationships. I mostly work with women, but I am an ally to the LGBTQ community as well. My goal for my clients is to help them untangle the web of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that keep them feeling stuck.

I have a passion for supporting individuals in living their life intentionally, purposefully and in a fulling manner. This includes looking into oneself and exploring, healing, and loving all parts. As a therapist, I aim to create a safe place for all individuals and am ready to meet clients where they are in their healing process. I work with clients to not only process difficulties in their past, but to also apply ones strength and resilience to current stressors. I am dedicated to supporting clients in navigating their experiences by creating a foundation of self-compassion and empowerment.

Whether it is relational issues, marital conflict, faith transitions, anxiety, depression or parenting challenges, I approach my practice with empathy, understanding, and a commitment to helping my clients navigate their unique journeys. I understand that life's hurdles can be daunting, but I firmly believe in the resilience of the human spirit. Using evidence-based approaches such as Emotionally- Focused Therapy and Internal Family Systems Therapy, I provide a supportive and nonjudgmental space for my clients to explore, heal, and grow.
