Danielle Musick

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 6.3 mi away • Millcreek, UT


I’m a trauma‐informed therapist who believes healing doesn’t require perfection—just honesty, compassion, and a willingness to take the next small step. Most of the people I work with are balancing careers, relationships, parenting, and the invisible emotional load that comes with everyday life. They’re strong, capable, and exhausted from carrying more than anyone realizes.

Clients often tell me they appreciate that I’m real, relatable, and not the kind of therapist who just nods silently. I show up fully. I help you connect the dots. And I hold space for the parts of you that have been working so hard for so long.

If you’re looking for a therapist who understands the realities of everyday life and offers nonjudgemental compassionate support, I’d be honored to work with you.

As a first-generation Asian immigrant to the U.S. and an ex-Mormon, I understand the difficulty of blending cultures, values, and faith transitions. It is important to me to help individuals feel heard without judgment, shame, or guilt and give them a sense of belonging. My goal as a therapist is to help you gain new perspectives and confidence to take on any challenges in your life. I want to help you expand your emotional tolerance, walk with you through your grief and fears, and assist you in life transitions.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and the owner of Night Owl Wellness. I hold a master's degree from the University of Utah.

I work with a wide range of adult populations, including LGBTQIA+ individuals, veterans, sexual trauma survivors, those with addiction, people with Autism/ADHD, and survivors of religious trauma. My personal and professional understanding of trauma's complex impact is what drives my passion for this work.

My therapeutic training includes Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and other eclectic and integrated interventions.

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • <1 mi away • Salt Lake City, UT


I believe in showing up as a real person in the therapy room. Clients often tell me they feel comfortable being fully themselves in our sessions, whether they’re navigating anxiety, faith transitions, self-worth, or the messy in-betweens of being human. My own journey (from growing up in a high-control religious group to finding meaning and freedom in nature and music festivals) has shaped my understanding of how culture and systems impact our stories.

Rui Zeller

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 8.5 mi away • Bountiful, UT


When contemplating “resiliency,” I am reminded of the wisdom shared by Thich Nhat Hanh in his quote, “No Mud, No Lotus.” This succinctly encapsulates life’s challenges and the accompanying suffering. While we often yearn for happiness devoid of difficulties, I firmly believe that these struggles are indispensable for our overall well-being, akin to the lotus requiring mud to flourish.

My role involves helping clients recognize their potential to bloom into something remarkable, even amidst adversity when the path seems obscured. Through the integration of mindfulness, self-compassion, and trauma-informed methodologies, I facilitate a journey where clients unearth their inherent strengths and resilience, fostering transformative growth from within.

Therapist

I work with adults who are navigating anxiety, depression, stress, and major life transitions. Many of the people I work with feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of how to move forward, and are looking for support in finding more clarity, stability, and confidence in their lives.

I provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can talk openly about what’s going on and feel understood. I also work with relationship challenges, grief and loss, trauma, and identity-related concerns, including transitions related to values, direction, or life roles.

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.

Adam Love is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a passion for helping people through life’s hardest transitions—grief, trauma, addiction, relationship struggles, and identity shifts. His path to becoming a therapist was anything but linear. Originally trained as a writer, Adam earned an MFA in Creative Writing and worked for over a decade in content marketing. But after the loss of his best friend in 2020, everything changed. In processing his own grief, Adam discovered social work and felt an immediate calling to the field. In his free time, Adam can often be found skiing at Alta or touring Big/Little Cottonwood Canyon, walking the golf course at Bonneville, traveling with his dogs, or losing himself in a photography or videography excursion - and sometimes attempting a beautifully difficult video game.
