I'm a curious and understanding therapist who finds immense joy in my work. With a deep passion for building meaningful connections, I thrive on supporting my clients as they navigate their journey to self-acceptance and purpose in life.

Populations I'm passionate to work with are adults healing from childhood wounds and survivors of traumatic events. I also enjoy working with children and teens to help them navigate the unique challenges they face today. I have a unique combination with two Masters Degrees, one in Social Work and one in Applied Behavior Analysis. I have extensive experience with ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorder.

Hi there. I'm Amanda. I received my undergraduate degrees from the University of Utah in '99 and a masters degree from the University of Denver in'02. I've been practicing in the mental health field for over 25 years. I've worked with many different populations in private practice, schools, medical settings, and addictions settings.

Currently, I have a private practice focusing on ages 15-adulthood. I also teach at the University of Utah graduate school of social work where I'm honored to connect with adult learners. I'm LGBTQI affirming and experienced in my practice.

In my free time you can find me skiing, surfing, paddleboarding, reading and baking.

I work with individuals who are ambitious and capable but often feel stretched thin trying to keep up with life, goals, and expectations. Many of my clients are professionals or working adults navigating stress, burnout, perfectionism, or self-doubt. I also enjoy working with teenage girls (13+). Together, we’ll uncover what’s holding you back, set realistic boundaries for your time and energy, manage stress, and find more peace in the present while still working toward meaningful goals for your future.

I’m EMDR-trained and IFS-informed. I earned my Master’s in Social Work from Boise State University in 2021.

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who works with adults and provides integrated mental health care that combines psychotherapy and medication management. My work is solution-oriented, empowering, and open-minded, with a focus on helping clients move beyond symptom management and toward meaningful, lasting change.

My style is warm, grounded, and direct. I value collaboration and curiosity, and I approach care as a partnership rather than something that is done to you. I aim to support clients while also encouraging them to take an active role in understanding their patterns, building resilience, and reclaiming their mental and emotional health.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor who works with adults, young adults, teens, and children navigating anxiety, emotional overwhelm, life transitions, relationship challenges, and difficult past experiences.

Hello! I am Gano. I am a fully licensed clinical mental health counselor in Utah, though I am originally from Bosnia and Croatia. I have a Masters degree in Mental Health Counseling and specialization in Child and Family Therapy from Boston College, and a Bachelors degree in Psychology and Philosophy from Westminster University.

I am currently accepting new clients. I’m so glad you’re here. Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming, and my goal is to offer a warm, nonjudgmental space where you feel truly heard, respected, and understood. I work with adolescents, adults, couples, and families navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, ADHD, relationship challenges, grief, life transitions, stress, self-esteem, and family conflict. Whatever you’re carrying, I would be honored to walk alongside you on your journey toward healing and growth.

I provide a non Judgmental, positive environment for all populations I serve. I have a no nonsense, direct approach to therapy.

Life often throws us into unpredictable, high-stress environments—and navigating those challenges can feel like an intense journey of its own. If you are feeling overwhelmed, burnt out, or carrying the weight of trauma, you don't have to navigate the trail alone.

I specialize in working with individuals who operate in high-stress, high-consequence roles—including military service members, veterans, first responders, and healthcare professionals. Whether you are dealing with critical incident stress, chronic burnout, or complex trauma, I provide a grounded, practical space tailored to the unique culture and demands of your work.

My approach is deeply informed by years of hands-on experience in high-stakes settings. After starting my career as a Wilderness EMT in 2016 and enlisting in the Army National Guard in 2018, I earned my Master’s in Social Work (MSW) from Utah State University. Since then, I’ve served as a Behavioral Health Officer in the National Guard and worked across emergency departments, crisis and disaster response, public education, and outpatient mental health.

Using evidence-based, trauma-informed therapies, my goal is to help you process difficult experiences, build sustainable resilience, and regain a sense of balance. Outside of the clinic, you’ll find me teaching CPR and Wilderness First Aid, spending time with my family, and finding adventure outdoors—a mindset I bring into therapy as we work together to help you thrive, no matter what environment you're navigating.
