Blair Nicol

Therapist

Virtual • Utah


Hi I'm Blair, a licensed clinical social worker with experience in behavioral health, residential, and community-based settings. My work is rooted in a relational, intuitive approach, with a strong focus on the connection between mind and body. I care a lot about helping people reconnect, with themselves, their bodies, and the world around them. Outside of therapy, I’m deeply drawn to nature and have led outdoor programs for adolescents around the world, which continues to shape how I show up in this work. Because of this background, I am offering walk and talk sessions in addition to virtual. I aim to be authentic, present, and genuinely curious with the people I work with.

Struggling with depression, anxiety, self-doubt, or major life changes can feel overwhelming and isolating. Whether you're facing a difficult transition, working through past experiences, or feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, you don't have to navigate it alone.

I work with adults and young adults to manage anxiety, heal from trauma, strengthen self-esteem, and build greater confidence in themselves and their decisions. My approach is supportive, collaborative, and tailored to your unique needs, helping you identify both the challenges you face and the strengths you already possess.

Together, we’ll create a personalized plan for growth that is realistic, empowering, and grounded in your values and goals. My goal is to help you develop practical tools, build resilience, and create meaningful, lasting change so you can move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and self-compassion.

Staci Robinson

Therapist

Virtual • Utah


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 since 2011. I have worked with many populations and age ranges, I began my own private practice in 2016, where my focus switched primarily from addiction to trauma. I realized that trauma brings on many additional mental health challenges that may be resolved through trauma treatment.

I like to explore modalities with clients that both support and go beyond talk therapy in order to get to the deepest roots of the issues, which tend to lie at the subconscious level.

I know reaching out for therapy can feel intimidating, especially if you’re dealing with things that feel confusing, heavy, or even stigmatized. I’ve spent my career working in many corners of the mental health world—from individual and couples therapy to specialized work around sexual behavior and addiction, including involvement with the legal system and court settings. Because of this, I’m used to sitting with people in really tough situations, and I bring a steady, non-judgmental presence to whatever you’re going through.

Find the right addiction counselor for you

Headway makes it easier to find support for overcoming addiction — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Salt Lake City

Finding addiction therapists in Salt Lake City starts with understanding what kind of support fits your needs. Addiction care can include support for alcohol use, substance use, prescription drug misuse, gambling, or other behavioral concerns. Look for a therapist whose listed specialties and approach match what you want to work on, such as motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, harm reduction, or relapse prevention support. Some people may also work with a prescriber as part of their care team, depending on their needs.

Salt Lake City has a meaningful network of therapists, but the right match depends on more than location. You may want someone with an office near downtown, Sugar House, or the University of Utah, or you may prefer virtual sessions that give you more appointment options across Utah. Recovery can follow different paths, so it helps to look for a therapist who describes a non-judgmental style and experience with harm reduction or addiction recovery. Reading bios can also show how a therapist structures sessions, what concerns they support, and whether they offer a free phone consultation before you book.

Addiction counseling in Salt Lake City can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before booking. Headway helps you compare therapists who are accepting new patients, review their specialties and availability, and confirm whether they take your plan, so you can browse providers, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you or someone you know is experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms — especially from alcohol or benzodiazepines — talk to a medical provider or seek emergency care before starting outpatient therapy. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction or substance use and is in a crisis, immediately reach out to:

* 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — call or text 988 * SAMHSA National Helpline — 1-800-662-HELP (4357), free, confidential, 24/7 * Crisis Text Line — text HOME to 741741
