Therapist

First and foremost, I enjoy meeting people, getting to know the way they think, making people comfortable, and then seeing how I can help or support. I enjoy seeing people grow through their challenges and find progress in their goals. I've spent much of my career working in psychiatric hospitals managing crisis, doing family and adolescent counseling, and have built several addiction counseling programs. I and am currently working as the Clinical Director for an addiction medical clinic, but looking at building up my private practice for more independence. I'm always up to learning something new as I meet new people, and am looking forward to seeing how I can help.

My practice offers structured treatment programs, including EMDR intensives, pain management programs, and immersive healing experiences tailored to your unique needs.

I believe in the deep connection between the mind and body and incorporate physical movement, self-defense principles, and mindfulness-based techniques into my work when beneficial. Whether you're seeking relief from trauma, chronic pain, or emotional distress, I provide a direct yet compassionate approach to help you heal and move forward.

I look forward to supporting you on your journey toward resilience and recovery.

Macy Peterson

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Logan, UT


Hi, I’m Macy Peterson, a licensed therapist with a strong passion for helping individuals heal from trauma, navigate grief, and build a meaningful life beyond pain. I specialize in trauma and PTSD and provide a safe, supportive space for clients to work through complex emotional experiences at their own pace.

I am certified in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), EMDR, Neurofeedback, Biofeedback, and Grief and Bereavement Counseling. I use these evidence-based modalities to support the mind-body connection and help clients regulate their nervous systems, release stored trauma, and develop lasting resilience.

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
