Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Provo, UT

Everyone deserves to have a trusted support or guide along life’s journey­­––counseling can be a place to find just that. Counseling can be like a cool drink of water in a desert oasis, helping you rejuvenate and find rest for your soul, while you’re working towards where you want to be.

I have a deep compassion for people. I am uniquely positioned from the experiences I've had in my life to have the privilege of walking with others on their healing journeys. I believe we all have the capacity for healing, which is a very individualized process. I love what I do and am privileged to do it!

In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with friends and family. I love animals and have two cats. I have a lot of interests including Yoga, dance, Tai Chi, traveling, art, and nature.

She respects the perseverance it takes to continue trying in the midst of significant pain and Lesa is committed to helping with hope and healing. She is currently seeing clients in-person and via telehealth.

You've been going it alone for so long and surviving but you've reached a point where a listening ear and some new coping skills are necessary. Reaching out for therapy takes courage, and the rewards can be so worth it. My experience as a therapist can help you get unstuck and thriving again.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a passion for helping individuals and couples improve their mental health by strengthening their relationships with others and with themselves.

I have over six years of clinical experience working with individuals navigating burnout, anxiety, faith crises, perfectionism, identity questions, depression, sexual concerns, and non-traditional relationships. I co-developed Self-Determined Relationship Therapy to bring together the most effective parts of proven models — EFT, Gottman, IBCT, ACT, IFS, and more — and adapt them to fit you, instead of fitting you to any single model. People are a lot like plants — a shade plant doesn't struggle in direct sunlight because it's broken, but because it's in the wrong conditions.

I'm a licensed marriage and family therapist with additional formal research and supervisory training. I've been in my own dark spots. That's part of why this work matters to me.
