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.

Angela Hall

Therapist

Virtual • Riverton, UT


As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I work with individuals, couples, and families—regardless of sexual orientation—who are seeking deeper connection, healing, and clarity. Many people feel stuck in patterns of conflict, disconnection, or self-doubt and want to build healthier relationships, understand themselves better, and feel empowered in their journey. Together, we create a safe, affirming space to explore pain and possibility. I believe change is possible, and every person has the strength within them to grow, connect, and thrive.

Therapy to restore pleasure and emotional safety after sexual assault and other trauma for adults and their partners.

Kristen Smith

Therapist

Virtual • Utah


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.
