Prenatal and postpartum therapists & psychiatrists in Salt Lake City, UT

Allison enjoys seeing clients who have felt that 'talk therapy' has not worked for them in the past, this is due to her conscious, somatic, and psychoeducational approach to treatment. She is trained in CBT, mindfulness work, EMDR, IFS and somatic work to create an individualized treatment for clients. Allison sees a variety of clients with needs ranging from major depression, ADD/ADHD, Anxiety,PTSD, Religious transition/trauma, eating disorders, co dependency, transitional adjustments, behavioral addictions, and intrusive thoughts to many others.

Allison's philosophy: Life's struggles stem from multiple areas. I believe in a whole-self/systems approach. The use of this philosophy offers an analysis of how the inner system - body, mind, spirit, emotion - connects to the outer system - family, culture, community. I believe when one area is out of balance, it impacts everything else.

This view extends to the belief that mental health is not separate from overall health. I am honored for the opportunity to guide my clients to self-awareness and mindfulness. Through this journey, they can gain insight into their own interwoven systems"

I specialize in working with individuals navigating Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders (PMADs), Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), personality disorders, trauma, and the unique stressors faced by first responders. I also enjoy supporting clients through major life transitions, including shifts in identity, relationships, and belief systems.

I am thoughtful about diagnosis and do not rush to label or pathologize clients. Instead, I focus on understanding the full picture of what you’re experiencing and creating a treatment plan that feels relevant, practical, and aligned with your goals.

I strive to provide an open-minded, culturally responsive, and nonjudgmental therapeutic space. I welcome conversations around diverse relationship structures, including ethical non-monogamy (ENM), as well as faith transitions, spiritual exploration, and deconstruction.

Whether you are managing anxiety, healing from trauma, navigating motherhood or identity changes, or simply feeling stuck, therapy can be a place to better understand yourself and create meaningful change.

As a Board-Certified Specialist in Sports Dietetics (CSSD), Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, Licensed Mental Health Counselor, and Certified Chef with four decades of experience, I offer a distinctive integrative approach to sports performance counseling that combines sports nutrition, performance psychology, and mental health counseling. Licensed in Florida and Utah, I help professional, collegiate, military, tactical, and "life" athletes optimize mental and physical performance while navigating the unique demands of training, competition, recovery, and everyday life.

My expertise includes sports performance counseling, sports nutrition, mental performance, performance anxiety, injury rehabilitation, return-to-play, burnout, overtraining syndrome, Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED-S), body composition optimization, fueling for performance, hydration strategies, safe weight management for competition, and athlete transitions—including preparing for collegiate athletics, competing at elite levels, recovering from injury or illness, and transitioning into or out of professional sport.

Are you tired of feeling anxious, emotionally exhausted, or disconnected from yourself—despite appearing like you have it all together? Maybe you’re the one everyone relies on, the high achiever, the sensitive soul, the creative, or even the therapist who supports others. On the outside, you seem steady and capable. On the inside, you may feel stuck, overwhelmed, lonely, or unsure of who you truly are anymore. If that resonates, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to keep pretending everything is fine.

As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I work with individuals, couples, and families—regardless of sexual orientation—who are seeking deeper connection, healing, and clarity. Many people feel stuck in patterns of conflict, disconnection, or self-doubt and want to build healthier relationships, understand themselves better, and feel empowered in their journey. Together, we create a safe, affirming space to explore pain and possibility. I believe change is possible, and every person has the strength within them to grow, connect, and thrive.

Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re not sure where to begin or who you can trust. I strive to create a compassionate and judgment-free space where you can feel safe and understood. I work with children, adolescents, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, life transitions, and many other concerns. I provide telehealth-only services, offering the flexibility and comfort of meeting from a private space that works for you. Together, we’ll identify your goals, build on your strengths, and develop practical tools to help you feel more confident, balanced, and and in control.

I have been in the mental health field since 2017 and am passionate about meeting my clients where they are at, jumping in the trenches with them, and helping them navigate life’s challenges. I strive to help clients better understand their thoughts, beliefs, and patterns while providing the support and guidance they need to create meaningful change. I have experience working with individuals across the lifespan and with a diverse range of population, with a passion in working with young adults.

Hi there, I'm Joleene Watabe. I am a licensed professional clinical counselor and I work with clients in Utah, California and Ohio through Telehealth. I am passionate about helping people to live healthy and more fulfilling lives. I work with adolescent and adult clients and specialize in trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, life transitions, religious/spiritual issues and I am LGBTQ+ friendly. I conduct therapy with a customized approach that uses a combination of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, EMDR, IFS, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy.

I decided to become a therapist after I experienced a traumatic event in my life, went to counseling for myself, and improved my life through therapy. This led me to want to help others to learn the things that I learned. I gained empathy for anybody who has struggles (which is all of us) and developed a passion for helping others to be able to overcome mental illnesses and any self-inflicted suffering. I began my journey to become a counselor by being trained in facilitating grief support groups and soon after went back to graduate school so that I could get licensed as a counselor. I worked in community mental health for several years which included being part of the county crisis team and working with our substance abuse recovery program. I also worked as a therapist through my church. In 2017 my life took a sudden turn when my husband passed away suddenly, which eventually led me to return to a focus of grief and trauma. For the last four years, I have worked through private group practices treating a variety of issues. Being the oldest child, I have a propensity to want to help others. I enjoy helping people to find healing and more peace in their lives.

As a board certified and licensed clinical professional counselor, I believe prioritizing mental health is key to stability in life. Seeking help can be a hard initial step and I am glad you are here. I have worked with various populations and have a diverse background including trauma, crisis, depression, anxiety, grief and relationship problems.
