Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Cedar City, UT

I bring 20 years of experience as a social worker across a range of mental health settings, but individual therapy is where I feel most at home. I often work with people navigating life transitions, stress, relationship challenges, and that “stuck” feeling. I also use DBT-informed approaches to help build coping skills and emotional balance.

Maybe you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, anxious, disconnected, or stuck in patterns that are becoming harder to manage. You may be struggling in your relationships, carrying the effects of past experiences, or finding that the ways you learned to cope just aren’t working as well anymore. Even if you’re pretty “self-aware” and understand what’s going on intellectually, it can be incredibly frustrating to know why you do something and still feel unable to change it. Annoyingly, sometimes insight alone isn’t enough.

When that builds over time, it can spill into our relationships, confidence, motivation, and ability to be present. We can find ourselves overthinking, shutting down, or wondering why certain things affect us more deeply than they should. And sometimes overthinking actually does help, which can make it even harder to stop.

I’m an LCSW specializing in crisis and trauma, with experience supporting neurodivergent people, including those with autism and ADHD. My approach is attachment-based, trauma-informed, collaborative, and practical. My goal is to help you turn insight into meaningful change. If that resonates, I’d be glad to connect.

Many factors come into our lives that we did not plan for -- chronic pain, injuries, aging, and the natural decline of our bodies. How do we maximize our lives in spite of pain? How do we sustain our selves, our communication and our intimacy? How do we come to grips with the grief and reality of aging and even our mortality? How do we live our lives in spite of pain, sustain our sense of fun and play even while we act our age, and even, age gracefully? How do we communicate our expectations, desires, and fears to our families and partners? I am a licensed marriage and family therapist, gerontologist, and board-certified sex therapist (ABS). For over 12 years, I have worked with individuals and couples working to create more fulfilling relationships. I have specialized in grief, loss, and trauma and I am expanding that to support chronic pain and aging. I am an LGBTQ affirming provider and a member of the Utah LGBTQ Affirming Therapists Guild. I accept a broad insurance panel including Aetna, BCBS, Cigna, SelectHealth, Regence, and TriWest (for veterans), and looking to expand into medicare.

Every person experiences seasons of life that can feel overwhelming. Whether you're facing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, substance use, grief, or major life transitions, my goal is to provide a safe, collaborative, and evidence-based therapeutic experience where meaningful, lasting change can occur.

For nearly two decades, I have had the privilege of serving individuals, couples, and families throughout Nevada as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. In addition to direct clinical practice, I have served as a Clinical Director, executive leader, clinical supervisor, consultant, educator, and program developer, helping develop innovative behavioral healthcare programs and clinical services across Nevada. These diverse experiences have allowed me to work with individuals from virtually every walk of life while treating a broad range of complex behavioral health concerns.

My approach is individualized, practical, and grounded in research-supported treatment. I integrate evidence-based therapies, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, trauma-informed care, and person-centered therapy to develop treatment plans tailored to each client's unique strengths, needs, and goals.

I believe people are far more than the challenges that bring them to therapy. My commitment is to provide compassionate, clinically excellent care while helping clients build resilience, strengthen relationships, overcome obstacles, and create healthier, more meaningful lives.

I have been a therapist for 10+ years. I received my Masters of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Syracuse University. I have specialized training for trauma, anxiety, and attachment, depression, family systems, addiction, and perinatal and postpartum. My range of experience includes residential treatment programs for troubled teens, intensive outpatient, and community mental health. I love working with all ages.

My name is Spencer Allan, MSN, APRN, PMHNP, and I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 10 years of experience working in mental health care. Throughout my career, I have worked with individuals facing a wide range of mental health concerns across various levels of care, giving me a strong foundation in understanding the complexities of psychiatric illness and recovery.

I work with adolescents, adults, and older adults experiencing challenges such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, psychotic disorders, and other mental health concerns. I also have a strong interest in functional health and the relationship between mental health, sleep, hormones, physical health, nutrition, and overall wellness.

I believe mental health treatment should focus on the whole person, not just a diagnosis. My goal is to help clients better understand what is contributing to their symptoms while developing a treatment plan that supports both symptom improvement and long-term well-being.

Hi, I’m Macy Peterson, a licensed therapist with a strong passion for helping individuals heal from trauma, navigate grief, and build a meaningful life beyond pain. I specialize in trauma and PTSD and provide a safe, supportive space for clients to work through complex emotional experiences at their own pace.

When life gives you lemons...

My education gave me the tools to be a skilled clinician. But it was my own trauma that gave me the insight and depth I bring to this work. I know what it feels like to live in a body that doesn’t feel safe—to question everything, including yourself. I spent over a decade learning how to heal, reclaim my voice, and become the kind of guide I once needed.

In the midst of that long journey, I had a quiet moment of clarity: what I was going through wasn’t just about survival—it was about becoming someone who could walk with others through the dark. That experience grounds my work in both knowledge and deep compassion.

Learning to love the desert

I’ve come to believe that being lost isn’t a problem—it’s part of the path. Like La Loba, the mythical bone-gatherer who wanders the desert collecting what’s been buried and brings it back to life, I help others gather what they’ve lost along the way. That process is sacred, slow, and often surprising—but it’s how we come home to ourselves.

There are parts of you that haven’t died; they’ve just been waiting. And sometimes, when it all falls apart, that’s when the wild, wise parts of you rise again.
