Bipolar disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Draper, UT

Hi, I’m Salina Mecham. I earned both my bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Social Work from the University of Utah, along with certification in substance use treatment. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), Master Addiction Counselor (MAC), and Domestic Violence Intervention Treatment Counselor (DVP), and I am fully licensed in Utah, Washington, New Hampshire, and New Jersey.

I have experience working with adolescents and adults in a variety of settings, including residential programs, behavioral health hospitals, and community mental health. I began my career in group homes for youth, where I developed a strong foundation in working with individuals in high-stress and high-need situations. Since then, I have continued to support individuals navigating mental health challenges, substance use, trauma, relationship concerns, and life transitions.

I am a trained Level 1 Gottman therapist (working on Level 2), this is helpful to those struggling with relationship issues. I am also a trained Level 1 IFS therapist, which is a great modality for people struggling with PTSD, depression, anxiety, etc. I have invested countless hours in learning other helpful modalities and concepts that add to my knoweldge.

People tend to seek me out because they are looking for someone who feels normal and approachable. Sure, I have a quirk or two, but people often describe talking with me as feeling like they are talking with an old friend who happens to know a lot of mental health specific things and who gives solid counsel and makes them feel valid in this crazy world.

I am committed to helping clients feel safe, heard, seen, and valued. My social work and community health education background help me focus on wellness in all areas of your life!

Are you tired of treating symptoms without understanding what's actually causing your anxiety, depression, trauma, or emotional struggles? Lasting healing begins by addressing the root causes of mental health challenges—not simply masking them. I'm Michelle Rawls, a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner offering personalized, root-cause-focused care.

Hi, I'm Shelley Sims, LMFT.

I believe healing happens when people feel truly seen, understood, and accepted. My goal is to create a warm, supportive space where you can show up exactly as you are—without judgment or pressure to have everything figured out.

I work with adults, teens, and couples who are navigating anxiety, trauma, depression, relationship challenges, ADHD, OCD, burnout, life transitions, and low self-worth. Many of my clients have spent years putting everyone else first and are ready to reconnect with themselves, set healthier boundaries, and build lives that feel more peaceful and fulfilling.

My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to your unique needs. I draw from evidence-based therapies including EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Gottman Method, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and somatic, nervous system-informed techniques. Together, we'll identify unhelpful patterns, process painful experiences, and develop practical skills that create lasting change.

Whether you're healing from childhood wounds, working through relationship struggles, managing overwhelming emotions, or simply feeling stuck, you don't have to do it alone. I believe growth is possible at any stage of life, and I would be honored to walk alongside you as you rediscover your strengths and move toward the life you want.

Taking the first step can feel overwhelming, but you don't have to have it all figured out before reaching out. If you're ready to begin your healing journey, I'd love to help.

My ideal client knows something isn’t working—even if they can’t name it. They may feel anxious, numb, overwhelmed, stuck in patterns, or burdened by trauma, addiction, grief, or shame. Many carry pain from early relationships that still affects their lives. What matters most is a willingness to show up and go deep. Therapy with me is collaborative, direct, and emotionally rich. I work best with people ready to explore discomfort, face what’s been avoided, and commit to real, lasting change.

I'm curious by nature. Interested in learning about people and what makes them tick. Fascinated by the world.

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.

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.
