Book a therapist or psychiatrist in Farmington, UT covered by Cigna

As a first-generation Asian immigrant to the U.S. and an ex-Mormon, I understand the difficulty of blending cultures, values, and faith transitions. It is important to me to help individuals feel heard without judgment, shame, or guilt and give them a sense of belonging. My goal as a therapist is to help you gain new perspectives and confidence to take on any challenges in your life. I want to help you expand your emotional tolerance, walk with you through your grief and fears, and assist you in life transitions.

I'm a Utah native who studied at the University of Utah in Pesychology and Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I've worked primarily in substance abuse and addiction, which includes depression, anxiety, family issues, and communication - all the things that come with it. In my 11 years or practice, I've picked up a lot along the way.

I provide a non Judgmental, positive environment for all populations I serve. I have a no nonsense, direct approach to therapy.

I’m a Clinical Mental Health Counselor who works with adults navigating trauma, addiction, anxiety, depression, and big life transitions. Many of the people I work with feel stuck, disconnected from themselves, or exhausted from carrying more than they ever should have had to. I bring a grounded, real-world approach to therapy that values honesty, self-trust, and meaningful change. My goal is to help you feel more at home in yourself—not just “functional,” but genuinely alive.

Hi there. I'm Amanda. I received my undergraduate degrees from the University of Utah in '99 and a masters degree from the University of Denver in'02. I've been practicing in the mental health field for over 25 years. I've worked with many different populations in private practice, schools, medical settings, and addictions settings.

Currently, I have a private practice focusing on ages 15-adulthood. I also teach at the University of Utah graduate school of social work where I'm honored to connect with adult learners. I'm LGBTQI affirming and experienced in my practice.

In my free time you can find me skiing, surfing, paddleboarding, reading and baking.

Welina, to my practice, To Healing With Joy Always L.L.C. (THWJALLC) THWJA L.L.C. is operated by one Licensed Clinical Social Worker who finds added value in human connection during challenging times in life that a therapeutic lens can add to the support of each client.

As a social worker with seven years of experience in the field, I strive to work from an open, curious, and empowering approach in therapy. I've worked with a number of clients who struggle with various issues including anxiety, depression, and Bipolar Disorder among other things. I recognize the lasting effects trauma can have on a person and specialize in treating it, specifically using Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).

Many high-performing adults are used to being the one others depend on. From the outside, life may look successful and put together, but internally you may feel overwhelmed, anxious, emotionally exhausted, or constantly questioning yourself despite your accomplishments.

I specialize in working with professionals, leaders, and high-achieving adults who are balancing demanding careers, relationships, parenting, and personal expectations while struggling with anxiety, burnout, imposter syndrome, trauma, ADHD, perfectionism, or stress that never fully seems to shut off. Many of my clients are successful professionally but find themselves struggling to feel fully present at home, connected in relationships, or able to truly slow their mind down.

I also work with adults navigating depression, major life transitions, work stress, relationship challenges, and the pressure of trying to manage everything while continuing to perform at a high level. Often, the same strengths that help people succeed professionally can also contribute to chronic stress, emotional exhaustion, people-pleasing, overthinking, difficulty relaxing, or feeling like they always need to stay in control.

Therapy with me is not about judgment or simply “talking about feelings.” It is a practical, supportive, and collaborative process focused on helping you better understand yourself, improve emotional awareness, manage stress more effectively, strengthen relationships, and feel more grounded and confident in both your personal and professional life.
