Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in Bountiful, UT

A few things I want you to know before you even schedule: I work with a lot of people who have tried therapy before and felt like it didn't really go anywhere. Other's are coming in for the first time and feeling equal parts skeptical and hopeful. Both are completely fine starting points.

I specialize in anxiety, trauma, ADHD, and emotional regulation - including work with teens and adults dealing with BPD or bipolar. I use EMDR for trauma processing, DBT for building real-world coping skills, and trauma-focused CBT when thinking patterns are part of what's keeping someone stuck. I don't use any one approach for everyone, because everyone is different.

I'm a Utah LCSW and I work entirely via telehealth, which means I can see clients anywhere in Utah - whether that's Salt Lake City or Tooele County or somewhere in between.

Travis believes in a healthy therapeutic relationship built on trust to help individuals and families achieve their goals. He has specialization in children and adolescents, substance, couples and families, depression and anxiety, behavioral issues, addiction, trauma, outdoor recreation, and mental health counseling.

I have certifications in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Parenting, Trauma Focused Therapy, Moral Reconation Therapy, Domestic Violence Assessment and Treatment, Emotionally Focused Therapy, addictions, and play therapy. I have worked with many behavioral problems in children and adolescents, as well as adults.

Experiences and educational background include: Bachelors degree in Zoology and Physiology, Masters in Wildlife and Fisheries Biology/Zoology, Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. National certification in Mental Health Counseling. I have extensive experience as a clinical supervisor and director of a mental health and substance abuse clinic.

First and foremost, I enjoy meeting people, getting to know the way they think, making people comfortable, and then seeing how I can help or support. I enjoy seeing people grow through their challenges and find progress in their goals. I've spent much of my career working in psychiatric hospitals managing crisis, doing family and adolescent counseling, and have built several addiction counseling programs. I and am currently working as the Clinical Director for an addiction medical clinic, but looking at building up my private practice for more independence. I'm always up to learning something new as I meet new people, and am looking forward to seeing how I can help.

I am your partner in whole-person healing, and I am now accepting new patients. With nearly two decades of diverse nursing experience, my background spans psychiatry, oncology, palliative care, intensive care, hospice, and home health. This journey has given me a deep understanding of both physical and emotional health challenges.

I am known for building genuine connections with patients across all age groups. My approach is rooted in the belief that mental health is inseparable from physical well-being. I often view mental health symptoms not as disorders, but as signals of deeper imbalances—and I treat them with compassion and curiosity.

I have recently become licensed as an LCSW, however, I have over 20+ years in SUD and addictive behaviors as a person in long term recovery. I have worked in the treatment/behavioral health industry for over 15 years. I have been extensively immersed in DBT while working at my previous employer and have worked with those with dual diagnoses (SUD/mental health). I have been trained in all of the therapeutic approaches in my profile while working as a CSW prior to gaining full licensure.

I’m Tae Colbert, Ed.S., MA, LCMHC, NCSP. (She/Her)

Welcome!

Navigating life’s systems, expectations, and social structures can often force us to camouflage who we are just to survive. One of the most common ways we do this is through masking: suppressing our natural responses, hiding distress, or mimicking social expectations to blend in. If you are feeling burnt out, anxious, depressed, lost, overwhelmed, or disconnected from your true self after years of holding up these barriers, I am here to help you find a path toward a more authentic and manageable way of living.

Who I Am & My Background

I bridge the gap between comprehensive psychological evaluations and direct clinical support. I hold a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology and an Educational Specialist (Ed.S.) degree in School Psychology from the University of the Pacific. As both a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) and Nationally Certified School Psychologist (NCSP), I bring a deep, holistic understanding of both clinical mental health and neurodevelopmental/educational systems.
