LGBT therapists in Bountiful, UT

I’m Amanda, and I became a therapist because I believe everyone deserves a place where they can show up exactly as they are. I bring warmth, authenticity, and even a bit of humor into the room when it feels right. I want you to feel genuinely seen—not judged—and supported in whatever you’re working through.

I’ve been in the counseling field for over 15 years and hold a PhD in Counselor Education from the University of Tennessee. My experience ranges from private practice and telehealth to correctional mental health, hospitals, and leadership roles in community programs. A. Simms Resume copy

I work with adults experiencing mood challenges, anxiety, identity concerns, life transitions, and LGBTQIA+ experiences, as well as individuals who are justice-involved or adjusting to major life changes. My approach integrates CBT, ACT, and Reality Therapy, giving us room to explore both deeper patterns and practical skills.

Clients describe me as encouraging, steady, and real—someone who helps them feel grounded and capable while taking meaningful steps toward a more balanced and authentic life.

“The green reed which bends in the wind is stronger than the mighty oak which breaks in a storm.”― Confucius. Have you felt that anxiety, depression, or trauma are stopping you from living the life you want and deserve? I utilize evidence-based practices with clients like Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy approaches to develop more adaptive responses and cultivate lasting coping to help clients bend with the winds of life. I'm now accepting clients for both in-person and telehealth therapy, and accept many insurances.

I believe therapy should be a dynamic, collaborative process that yields real-world results. My practice is built on a foundation of academic excellence and specialized training, including a BA in Psychology from University of Southern California and a Master of Social Work (MSW) from the University of Utah.

My Therapeutic Toolkit: Evidence-Based & Proactive

I don't believe in a "one-size-fits-all" approach. I blend several powerful, evidence-based modalities to help you achieve your goals quickly and effectively:

• ART (Accelerated Resolution Therapy): A specialized approach for trauma and PTSD that uses eye movements to "reprogram" distressing memories and sensations, often providing relief in just a few sessions.
• CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy): We will work together to identify and shift the thought patterns that keep you stuck in cycles of anxiety or depression.
• DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy): I provide practical skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improving relationships—giving you a "manual" for navigating life's hardest moments.

Hi, I’m Haley Beeson, LCSW, licensed in Utah and co-founder of EternalBloom Counseling in Austin. My background includes working with individuals, couples, and families navigating anxiety, disordered eating, identity concerns, trauma, and relationship challenges. I believe the relationships we have with ourselves and others shape how we experience the world. My work centers on helping people understand those patterns and find more peace and connection within them. I bring warmth, humor, and a trauma-informed, relational lens to each session. I welcome clients of all gender identities, sexual orientations, and cultural backgrounds.

Therapy isn’t supposed to feel like performance. It’s supposed to feel like relief.

I’m Kristen — a licensed clinical social worker who’s spent over 20 years supporting people through transitions, overwhelm, and deep life work. I live in South Portland, Maine with my family, and I understand firsthand the emotional labor, coordination, and internal pressure that come with being a capable, high-achieving woman and mother.

As someone who is neurodivergent myself, I intimately understand the cost of masking — and what it takes to stop performing and start feeling and living.

My approach is person-centered, focusing on you, the client, and the moment-to-moment engagement, discovering insights together. I can help you discover insights into barriers, and the constructive solutions to overcoming those barriers. Each person has the right to live a life free of negative thoughts and experiences—a life of healthy well-being.

I am a compassionate and dedicated Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over two decades of experience across a wide range of therapeutic settings, including family, adolescent, individual, group, adult, outpatient, residential, and day programs. I help clients enhance their quality of life by using evidence-based therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.

Hi, I’m Michele! Clients often tell me they feel truly seen and heard in our work. They appreciate how I help them untangle complex issues, develop insight, gently challenge them, and take meaningful, manageable steps toward their goals. Whether we’re working through anxiety, identity questions, systemic challenges, or emotional healing, I stay committed to being a steady guide who brings both heart and skill to the process. My practice philosophy is rooted in the strengths perspective, where we highlight how you have survived and build on your unique resilience to help you thrive. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor (LCDC) providing therapy services in Texas. I have been in private practice for over 10 years and I can see you in person or virtually.

Life is full of challenges both big and small. My goal in therapy is to create a safe space for individuals and families to feel empowered to take on whatever life brings them, whether it seems too overwhelming to handle or too minor to matter. Anything that matters to you is worth talking about.

I use a variety of therapeutic models to help in my work, with connection being at the core. I have experience working with anxiety, depression, grief/loss, trauma, faith crisis/transition, couple/family conflict, and LGBTQIA+ issues. I enjoy working with teens and young adults, but am open to seeing clients of all ages and backgrounds.

Hi there! My name is Shannon, and I am a licensed marriage and family therapist passionate about working with relational dynamics of all shapes and sizes. I am particularly invested in helping clients navigate differences in expectations of intimacy, responsibility, and accountability. While neurotypical, I have extensive experience making space for neurodivergent voices in and out of the therapy room. Born in the US and raised in Taiwan, I provide therapy services in both English and Mandarin.

I believe therapy works best when you feel comfortable enough to genuinely be yourself. I’m a down-to-earth and approachable therapist, and my goal is to create a space where you feel supported and understood without feeling judged. I also believe therapy doesn’t always have to feel heavy—there is absolutely room for humor and being human.

I earned my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Rocky Mountain University of Health Professionals. I have extensive experience working in mental health, particularly with adolescents, young adults, and families. Much of my professional background has been in residential treatment, where I have supported individuals struggling with trauma, anxiety, depression, emotional regulation, behavioral concerns, relationship difficulties, and family conflict.

One thing my experience has taught me is that behavior usually makes a lot more sense once we understand what is happening underneath it. I enjoy helping clients understand themselves better, recognize patterns that may be keeping them stuck, and find healthier ways to cope, communicate, and move forward.

I especially enjoy working with people who may have had a difficult experience with therapy in the past—or who aren't completely sure they want to be in therapy in the first place. You don't have to come in knowing exactly what you want to work on. We can figure that out together.
