Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Layton, UT

As a licensed marriage and family therapist I have been working with individuals, couples and families for over 20 years. I've observed that people have what it takes to find the peace and happiness they are looking for. I am confident that, together, we can find the solutions that will work for you.

I am an LCSW. I am a trauma and neurodivergent-informed therapist that specializes in EMDR and DBT. I am good at building relationships with clients and helping them feel safe. I use humor and direct communication to overcome barriers with clients. I use things like art, culture, media, etc. to reach clients where they are at. I am non-binary and work on LGBT issues with clients. I am also a person of color, so I work with cultural trauma.

Hi, I’m Stephanie, PhD, LCSW—a licensed clinical social worker with a passion for helping people feel more grounded, empowered, and connected in their lives. I’ve been working in the mental health field for several years, working with adults and young adults who are looking to improve their mental health, navigate life’s challenges, or gain a deeper understanding of themselves

Life can be a fulfilling and challenging journey. It is part of the human experience to need support at different times depending on our life stage or situation. Seeking support can be intimidating. I am committed to working collaboratively with clients to foster learning and growth, enabling you to live your best life.

Originally from Ohio, I moved to Utah in 2003 to provide therapeutic outdoor experiences to youth and families. I have spent much of my career working with adolescents and young adults after receiving my Master of Social Work from the University of Utah in 2008. As a LCSW, I think its valuable to utilize resources specific to an individual instead of resources specific to a therapist. With that, I primarily lean on the principles of DBT, ACT, CBT, MI, Seven Challenges, Narrative therapy and EMDR/Trauma informed approaches. I also have experience with substance use and problematic media and technology use. As a psychedelic-assisted therapist, I believe in set and setting as a foundation for growth.

I spend much of my free time outdoors and sleep better under the stars. I love the mountain and desert surroundings that Utah provides and can often be found boating, skiing, hiking, backpacking and traveling the western U.S. I am also a land steward in Cache Valley, raising a menagerie of animals and vegetables. I also enjoy cooking and listening to live music.

I’ve spent over 22 years as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, helping people just like you navigate life’s biggest challenges. I'm licensed in Texas, Utah, Arizona, and Nevada.

My personal belief is therapy is a space for growth, discovery, and healing. It’s a brave step, and I’m here to guide you.

Maybe you're tired of feeling anxious or depressed. Maybe you're working through a difficult loss or a past trauma. Whatever brings you here, we'll work together to find a path that feels right for you.

You will set the pace and the agenda of our sessions. One week we may work on day to day obstacles. The next week, we may work on past issues and traumas. It's YOUR TIME!

I am passionate about helping clients find their voice to put words to their unique experiences. I approach each session with compassionate curiosity to provide you with a safe space to show up as your most authentic self. I hope that you feel seen, heard, understood, and accepted. I am enthusiastic about seeing my clients move towards health and healing. I consider it an honor and a privilege to support you throughout our work together.

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) providing compassionate, evidence-based care to adolescents and adults. My approach blends clinical expertise with a collaborative, patient-centered philosophy, I believe treatment works best when you feel heard, understood, and actively involved in your care.

I earned my graduate degree in psychiatric-mental health nursing from Northern Kentucky University and have experience treating a wide range of conditions, including anxiety disorders, depression, ADHD, trauma-related conditions, mood disorders, and medication management for complex psychiatric presentations. My background includes working with individuals navigating life transitions, high-achieving professionals experiencing burnout, and patients seeking thoughtful, personalized medication management.

I specialize in comprehensive psychiatric evaluations and medication management, with a focus on clarity, safety, and long-term stability. I aim to avoid overmedication while ensuring symptoms are effectively treated. When appropriate, I integrate supportive therapy techniques into sessions to help patients build insight, resilience, and practical coping strategies.

My practice is fully telehealth-based, allowing for convenient, private access to care. My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable discussing what’s really going on — without judgment — and to work together toward meaningful, sustainable improvement in your mental health.
