LGBT therapists in Orem, UT

I believe therapy should be a dynamic, collaborative process that yields real-world results. My practice is built on a foundation of academic excellence and specialized training, including a BA in Psychology from University of Southern California and a Master of Social Work (MSW) from the University of Utah.

My Therapeutic Toolkit: Evidence-Based & Proactive

I don't believe in a "one-size-fits-all" approach. I blend several powerful, evidence-based modalities to help you achieve your goals quickly and effectively:

• ART (Accelerated Resolution Therapy): A specialized approach for trauma and PTSD that uses eye movements to "reprogram" distressing memories and sensations, often providing relief in just a few sessions.
• CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy): We will work together to identify and shift the thought patterns that keep you stuck in cycles of anxiety or depression.
• DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy): I provide practical skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improving relationships—giving you a "manual" for navigating life's hardest moments.

Hi, I’m Haley Beeson, LCSW, licensed in Utah and co-founder of EternalBloom Counseling in Austin. My background includes working with individuals, couples, and families navigating anxiety, disordered eating, identity concerns, trauma, and relationship challenges. I believe the relationships we have with ourselves and others shape how we experience the world. My work centers on helping people understand those patterns and find more peace and connection within them. I bring warmth, humor, and a trauma-informed, relational lens to each session. I welcome clients of all gender identities, sexual orientations, and cultural backgrounds.

As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I work with individuals, couples, and families—regardless of sexual orientation—who are seeking deeper connection, healing, and clarity. Many people feel stuck in patterns of conflict, disconnection, or self-doubt and want to build healthier relationships, understand themselves better, and feel empowered in their journey. Together, we create a safe, affirming space to explore pain and possibility. I believe change is possible, and every person has the strength within them to grow, connect, and thrive.

Hello and nice to meet you. I am a mental health therapist who helps individuals, couples, and families strengthen their connection to themselves and to others. My work centers on improving communication, deepening understanding, and creating meaningful change through authentic relationships.

With years of experience in trauma recovery, family systems, and communication dynamics, I support clients in uncovering patterns that affect how they relate and respond in their relationships. My background includes working with developmental/family of origin trauma, toxic and high conflict relationships, survivors of narcissistic abuse, relational trauma, and complex grief and loss. These experiences have shaped my understanding that healing and connection go hand in hand.

I have been in residential substance abuse most of my career and I have a SUDC license (Substance Use Disorder Counselor). I moved over to general outpatient in 2019 and have been working with a wide array of clients since then. Since most of my career and training has been with single adults, I do not see children and I do not work with couples and families.

Hi! My name is Alicia Fisher, I went to the University of Utah for my undergrad and masters in social work. I have spent many years working for various treatment centers throughout Utah. I do drug and alcohol assessments and specialize in addiction, trauma and grief.

Hello! I am an existential therapist and former lawyer. I understand the challenges of working in a high-stress job, managing family obligations, finding time for rest, and coping with anxiety and depression. I specialize in relationship trauma, panic attacks, insomnia, post-divorce, IVF difficulty, climate/political anxiety, and work-related performance issues.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Masters degree in Social Work. The areas I have emphasized further training on have been childhood abuse and trauma and the trauma disorders these experiences can cause such as CPTSD, PTSD, and Dissociative Disorders. I am also deeply interested in helping individuals who have been late diagnosed with ADHD and/or Autism to better understand how their brain works and how to approach life differently.

Hi there, I'm Joleene Watabe. I am a licensed professional clinical counselor and I work with clients in Utah, California and Ohio through Telehealth. I am passionate about helping people to live healthy and more fulfilling lives. I work with adolescent and adult clients and specialize in trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, life transitions, religious/spiritual issues and I am LGBTQ+ friendly. I conduct therapy with a customized approach that uses a combination of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, EMDR, IFS, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy.

I decided to become a therapist after I experienced a traumatic event in my life, went to counseling for myself, and improved my life through therapy. This led me to want to help others to learn the things that I learned. I gained empathy for anybody who has struggles (which is all of us) and developed a passion for helping others to be able to overcome mental illnesses and any self-inflicted suffering. I began my journey to become a counselor by being trained in facilitating grief support groups and soon after went back to graduate school so that I could get licensed as a counselor. I worked in community mental health for several years which included being part of the county crisis team and working with our substance abuse recovery program. I also worked as a therapist through my church. In 2017 my life took a sudden turn when my husband passed away suddenly, which eventually led me to return to a focus of grief and trauma. For the last four years, I have worked through private group practices treating a variety of issues. Being the oldest child, I have a propensity to want to help others. I enjoy helping people to find healing and more peace in their lives.

“The green reed which bends in the wind is stronger than the mighty oak which breaks in a storm.”― Confucius. Have you felt that anxiety, depression, or trauma are stopping you from living the life you want and deserve? I utilize evidence-based practices with clients like Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy approaches to develop more adaptive responses and cultivate lasting coping to help clients bend with the winds of life. I'm now accepting clients for both in-person and telehealth therapy, and accept many insurances.
