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.
As a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I believe that understanding your mental health is key to stability in life. Seeking help can be one of the hardest parts, so I am glad you are here. I’ve been practicing for several years, and know truly enjoy working with individuals seeking insight, change, and growth.
I am a certified Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Utah. I have worked with individuals, groups, and families for over a decade. I have experience and training in various therapy types including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and mindfulness. I have experience working both in the private and nonprofit sector working with adolescents and adults across the lifespan and various walks of life.
I'm John, a licensed psychologist practicing in Utah and California. I started out in information technology because I loved computers and making sense of data, but over time I found I enjoyed working with people more than working with machines, so I went back to school and earned my doctorate in clinical psychology (PsyD). Since then I have worked in counseling centers, outpatient clinics, hospitals, and schools, and I have really enjoyed applying the science of psychology to help people understand themselves and navigate the challenges of everyday life. I see teens, young adults, adults, and older adults for concerns including depression, anxiety, grief and loss, trauma, life transitions, relationships, men's mental health, and questions of religion and spirituality.
I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 15 years of experience helping people navigate life's "weird left turns," from the mental game of competitive sports to the heavy landscape of grief, trauma, or a cancer diagnosis. I'm also a wife and mom who spent over a decade working in the foster care system before transitioning to the medical field and clinical work, so I understand the "everyday chaos" of being human. I've often been told I bring a unique blend of humor and compassion to the room. Whether you're a high-performer, a caregiver facing burnout, or a parents of a "tornado of feelings," I'm here to help you stop playing emotional whack-a-mole and start feeling like yourself again.
I work with individuals experiencing sexual dysfunction (erectile dysfunction, pain during sex, difficulties with orgasm, premature ejaculation, etc), anxiety during sex, low/no desire, desire mismatch in couples, sexual trauma, sexual orientation, sexual shame, gender identity, pornography or sex “addiction,” and LGBTQ+ related issues. I specialize in polyamory and ethical non-monogamy; and have experience working with polycules. I practice couples communication coaching and conflict resolution. I am kink-allied, sex work-allied, LGBTQ+ allied.
Alex has worked for 14 years as a therapist (LCSW) and four years as a therapist-supervisor. He graduated from BYU with his master's in social work in 2013. He uses therapeutic modalities such as ACT, CBT, IFS, MI, EMDR, EFT, CPP, Jungian, Child-centered, Adlerian, expressive arts, and narrative. He has worked with most behavioral health needs and age. He does dyadic work (couples or parent-child therapy).
As a board certified psychotherapist, I believe prioritizing mental health is key to happiness and stability in life. Seeking help can be one of the hardest parts, so congratulations on taking that step! I’ve been practicing for 10 years, I work with a plethora of inter-generational clients aged 21-90 who are struggling with anxiety and depression and trauma.
As a chaplain, I take a psycho-spiritual approach and work with clients assisting with intercultural issues, blended family dynamics, religiosity challenges and grief & loss.
Outside of my work as a therapist, I enjoy spending time outdoors, riding my horses, and being with my family. These activities help me stay grounded and connected to what matters most in life. I value balance, authenticity, and meaningful relationships, and I bring those same values into my work with clients. I strive to create a welcoming, supportive environment where clients feel comfortable being themselves and working toward their goals.
I come to therapy with a background in education and theater, which has deeply shaped how I connect with people and understand the human experience. My work is rooted in helping individuals better define who they are, where they want to be, and what may be standing in the way of getting there.
I believe therapy is a collaborative process built on curiosity, honesty, and growth. Together, we’ll identify obstacles, explore patterns, and engage with challenges in a meaningful way until we find solutions that truly work for you. My goal is to provide a space where you feel understood, supported, and empowered to move forward with greater clarity and confidence.
I specialize in working with anxiety, ADHD, and women's issues. I provide individual and relational therapy.
I received a MS in Human Development and Family Science with a specialization in Couple and Family Therapy from Kansas State University in Manhattan, KS.
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 am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and I love the outdoors and most anything to do with water (boating, fishing, sailing, etc.). I have 25+ years of experience helping people as a clinical social worker. My practice has been primarily geared toward adults. I have particular expertise in men's issues.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Orem
Searching for therapists in Orem starts with finding someone whose experience matches what you want support with. People look for therapy in Orem for many reasons, including anxiety, depression, stress, relationship challenges, grief, and major life changes. As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties, therapy approaches, and the populations they work with. A therapist’s profile can help you understand whether they use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, or trauma-informed care.
In a smaller city like Orem, local office options may be more limited than in larger metro areas, so virtual therapy can expand your search across Utah. You may prefer an in-person therapist near Downtown Orem, University Parkway, or nearby Utah County communities, or you may want the flexibility of virtual sessions that fit your schedule. As you narrow your options, check whether each therapist is accepting new patients, has appointment times that work for you, and offers a free phone consultation. Reading bios before booking can help you compare communication style, session structure, and fit.
Therapy in Orem can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before your first appointment. Headway helps you search for therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, view estimated out-of-pocket costs, and book directly when you’re ready. You can browse therapists in Orem, review profiles, and find someone who matches your needs, schedule, and coverage.
