Jamie Calamia

Jamie Calamia

Therapist

Virtual • Midvale, UT


I work with individual adolescent and adult clients via virtual sessions. I also specialize in working with ADHD clients—especially creatives, musicians, performers, artists, and late-diagnosed—who feel stuck, bored, or disconnected from their sense of flow. My work is active, conversational, and insight-oriented rather than passive or clinical.

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Utah, I bring a unique blend of life experience and professional expertise to my practice. Before becoming a therapist, I spent many years in the music and entertainment industry, working as a sound engineer and record producer in Los Angeles. This background has given me a deep appreciation for creativity, resilience, and the complexities of human relationships—skills I now use to support my clients through their own life challenges. I understand firsthand how important it is to feel seen and heard, and I strive to create a welcoming, nonjudgmental space for everyone I work with

Donald Best

Therapist

Virtual • Utah


Many people struggle with feeling different, strange, or like others do not relate to them well. Many people feel like they have to hide who they are and have no place to be themselves. This goes for the person with depression who needs to reshape their relationships; the person with PTSD facing their painful past; and the gay person grappling with the consequences of coming out or not.

Rochelle Jones

Rochelle Jones

Therapist

Virtual • Utah


Hi, I’m Rochelle. I’ve been a therapist for over 25 years, and my goal is simple — to help you feel better, think clearer, and live your best life.

My sessions are warm, honest, and conversational. I don’t just listen — I teach practical tools and life skills you can actually use to manage stress, handle emotions, and build healthier relationships. Together, we’ll work through what’s weighing on you and find new ways to create peace and balance.

I take a whole-person approach — mind, body, and spirit — and I especially enjoy helping adults who feel overwhelmed, anxious, or unsure of their next step. Therapy with me feels like a safe, supportive space to learn, grow, and start feeling more like yourself again.

Therapist

Virtual • Salt Lake City, UT


I am passionate about people and I love being a therapist. I get excited about getting to know new clients, learning their story, unpacking it in order to gain insight into why things have become the way they are and then using this insight to then foster healing, growth, and change. Change occurs once new ways of being are identified and barriers are removed in order to try on new ways of being.
