Sasha Lloyd

Therapist

Virtual • Utah


I specialize in working with individuals navigating Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders (PMADs), Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), personality disorders, trauma, and the unique stressors faced by first responders. I also enjoy supporting clients through major life transitions, including shifts in identity, relationships, and belief systems.

I am thoughtful about diagnosis and do not rush to label or pathologize clients. Instead, I focus on understanding the full picture of what you’re experiencing and creating a treatment plan that feels relevant, practical, and aligned with your goals.

I strive to provide an open-minded, culturally responsive, and nonjudgmental therapeutic space. I welcome conversations around diverse relationship structures, including ethical non-monogamy (ENM), as well as faith transitions, spiritual exploration, and deconstruction.

Whether you are managing anxiety, healing from trauma, navigating motherhood or identity changes, or simply feeling stuck, therapy can be a place to better understand yourself and create meaningful change.

Jeanette Nelson

Therapist

Virtual • Utah


Hi there—I’m so glad you’re here. Life has thrown me my share of curveballs: childhood trauma, family struggles with addiction, deep losses, and the constant upheaval of moves and changing homes. Those experiences taught me what it feels like to question your worth—and how powerful it is to reclaim it.

Since 2022, I’ve been walking alongside people who are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, or simply trying to make sense of being human in a complicated world. As an EMDR-certified and EFT-trained therapist, I love helping clients uncover the roots of their pain and build the skills to heal and thrive. My approach is trauma-informed, attachment-focused, and always centered on you—your story, your goals, your pace.

I work with teens and adults specializing in complex PTSD, anxiety, depression, and other trauma related mental health issues. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or just curious about what therapy might offer, I’m here to help you reconnect with your strengths and move toward the life you want—with compassion, curiosity, and practical tools for lasting change.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Master's degree in Professional Counseling from Grand Canyon University and 18 years of experience in behavioral health and addiction services.

I am passionate about helping clients discover their strengths, develop healthier coping skills, and create meaningful, lasting change.

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.
