Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Midvale, UT

I’m a clinical mental health counselor who works with adults navigating issues such as depression, anxiety, high stress, self-esteem issues, and feeling stuck. My goal is to create a space where you can show up as you are without feeling judged. Therapy with me is collaborative, supportive, and focused on helping you understand what’s going on beneath the surface while building tools that actually make a difference in your day-to-day life.

I’ve worked with individuals from a variety of backgrounds and aim to create an inclusive environment where you feel heard, respected, and supported.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with over 20 years of experience helping individuals restore balance, build resilience, and reconnect with purpose. My approach blends evidence-based therapy with a compassionate, person-centered style that supports clients in navigating stress, anxiety, life transitions, and relationship challenges.

As a bilingual (English/Spanish) and bicultural therapist, I provide a space where every client feels seen, understood, and empowered to create meaningful change.

Kokoro—a Japanese word meaning “mind, heart, and spirit”—reflects my belief that healing begins when the whole self is engaged with authenticity and intention.

Hello there! I know that therapy can be a difficult choice to make, so props to you for considering it and hopefully improving your life.

Hi there, my name is Marilyn and I have 34+ years as an experienced licensed clinical social worker specializing in substance abuse treatment and bereavement and specialize in treating depression, adjustment disorders, and mental health related to health issues.

I hold both a bachelors and masters degree in social work.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who believes that seeking support is a sign of strength, not weakness. My approach is compassionate, nonjudgmental, and centered on creating a safe space where you can be heard, understood, and supported.

A few things I want you to know before you even schedule: I work with a lot of people who have tried therapy before and felt like it didn't really go anywhere. Other's are coming in for the first time and feeling equal parts skeptical and hopeful. Both are completely fine starting points.

I specialize in anxiety, trauma, ADHD, and emotional regulation - including work with teens and adults dealing with BPD or bipolar. I use EMDR for trauma processing, DBT for building real-world coping skills, and trauma-focused CBT when thinking patterns are part of what's keeping someone stuck. I don't use any one approach for everyone, because everyone is different.

I'm a Utah LCSW and I work entirely via telehealth, which means I can see clients anywhere in Utah - whether that's Salt Lake City or Tooele County or somewhere in between.

I am at my best when I am a guide for others. I start by listening and developing understanding of who you are, what you value, and where you struggle. I will help you to find your way back to yourself and develop the trust you need in yourself to live your best life. I use an approach that is very collaborative offering tools and resources, but assisting you to choose your own direction.

We all struggle at times, especially in the way we live these days. I can help you understand how and why you may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected and develop strategies to move through this to a happier, more grounded, and more confident version of yourself.
