Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Draper, UT

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a passion for helping individuals and couples improve their mental health by strengthening their relationships with others and with themselves.

Jonathan Flake started his career as a registered nurse working in various hospital settings and departments including medical/surgical, telemetry, and intensive care units. In his work, he frequently observed the correlation that poor mental health often leads to physical deterioration and hospitalization. Seeing this phenomenon guided Jonathan to aim his career toward mental healthcare, which he believes to be the foundation of overall well-being.

He began to work in inpatient and outpatient psychiatric settings and earned a Master of Science degree from Wilkes University in nursing as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP).

Jonathan recognizes that each client has a unique life and experience, and he works alongside them to optimize treatment strategies. He seeks to tailor care plans to help each individual meet their specific needs and achieve their personal goals.

He felt driven to a career in psychiatric mental health based on personal family experiences, his faith in God, and many other factors. Most of his life has been lived in Utah and Jonathan strives to take part in Utah’s majestic outdoor beauty as frequently as possible. His favorite activities are camping, hiking, and spending time with his family.

I have a deep compassion for people. I am uniquely positioned from the experiences I've had in my life to have the privilege of walking with others on their healing journeys. I believe we all have the capacity for healing, which is a very individualized process. I love what I do and am privileged to do it!

In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with friends and family. I love animals and have two cats. I have a lot of interests including Yoga, dance, Tai Chi, traveling, art, and nature.

When contemplating “resiliency,” I am reminded of the wisdom shared by Thich Nhat Hanh in his quote, “No Mud, No Lotus.” This succinctly encapsulates life’s challenges and the accompanying suffering. While we often yearn for happiness devoid of difficulties, I firmly believe that these struggles are indispensable for our overall well-being, akin to the lotus requiring mud to flourish.

My role involves helping clients recognize their potential to bloom into something remarkable, even amidst adversity when the path seems obscured. Through the integration of mindfulness, self-compassion, and trauma-informed methodologies, I facilitate a journey where clients unearth their inherent strengths and resilience, fostering transformative growth from within.

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.
