Hi there. I'm Amanda. I received my undergraduate degrees from the University of Utah in '99 and a masters degree from the University of Denver in'02. I've been practicing in the mental health field for over 25 years. I've worked with many different populations in private practice, schools, medical settings, and addictions settings.
Currently, I have a private practice focusing on ages 15-adulthood. I also teach at the University of Utah graduate school of social work where I'm honored to connect with adult learners. I'm LGBTQI affirming and experienced in my practice.
In my free time you can find me skiing, surfing, paddleboarding, reading and baking.
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.

I’m a Clinical Mental Health Counselor who works with adults navigating trauma, addiction, anxiety, depression, and big life transitions. Many of the people I work with feel stuck, disconnected from themselves, or exhausted from carrying more than they ever should have had to. I bring a grounded, real-world approach to therapy that values honesty, self-trust, and meaningful change. My goal is to help you feel more at home in yourself—not just “functional,” but genuinely alive.
Hi! My name is Alicia Fisher, I went to the University of Utah for my undergrad and masters in social work. I have spent many years working for various treatment centers throughout Utah. I do drug and alcohol assessments and specialize in addiction, trauma and grief.
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Utah who has been practicing since 2015. I tend to take a direct approach but also show love and compassion to all of the clients I see no matter their age, race, gender, past, or present that prevents them from moving into their future. Within the practice I work in, Renova Wellness & Consulting, we specialize in trauma treatment and using various techniques to help clients live a live they deserve.
I work with individuals who are ambitious and capable but often feel stretched thin trying to keep up with life, goals, and expectations. Many of my clients are professionals or working adults navigating stress, burnout, perfectionism, or self-doubt. I also enjoy working with teenage girls (13+). Together, we’ll uncover what’s holding you back, set realistic boundaries for your time and energy, manage stress, and find more peace in the present while still working toward meaningful goals for your future.

I have a Master's in Marriage and Family Therapy and currently working toward my Certified Sexual Addiction Therapist credential (CSAT). My focus areas are trauma, addiction and recovery, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship or family conflict.

Hi, I'm Shelley Sims, LMFT.
I believe healing happens when people feel truly seen, understood, and accepted. My goal is to create a warm, supportive space where you can show up exactly as you are—without judgment or pressure to have everything figured out.
I work with adults, teens, and couples who are navigating anxiety, trauma, depression, relationship challenges, ADHD, OCD, burnout, life transitions, and low self-worth. Many of my clients have spent years putting everyone else first and are ready to reconnect with themselves, set healthier boundaries, and build lives that feel more peaceful and fulfilling.
My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to your unique needs. I draw from evidence-based therapies including EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Gottman Method, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and somatic, nervous system-informed techniques. Together, we'll identify unhelpful patterns, process painful experiences, and develop practical skills that create lasting change.
Whether you're healing from childhood wounds, working through relationship struggles, managing overwhelming emotions, or simply feeling stuck, you don't have to do it alone. I believe growth is possible at any stage of life, and I would be honored to walk alongside you as you rediscover your strengths and move toward the life you want.
Taking the first step can feel overwhelming, but you don't have to have it all figured out before reaching out. If you're ready to begin your healing journey, I'd love to help.
I'm a Clinical Mental Health Counselor and have been working professionally as a therapist since 2023. However, I began working in the mental health field with children in foster care in 2016. My time with those kids made me realize that my passion for helping people was in therapy, not in medicine. During my program, I interned in the Alaska Child Trauma Center with kids as young as 2.5 years old. After getting my Master's degree, I began working in inpatient hospitals with teenagers. These experiences are what led to my interest in helping people of all ages work through trauma, suicidal ideation, and behavioral issues. As well as helping parents find the best way to manage their children's behaviors and find the best way to improve their relationship.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Salt Lake City
Searching for therapists in Salt Lake City starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Therapists may help with concerns like anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, grief, stress, or life transitions. As you compare Salt Lake therapists, look for someone whose listed specialties and approach match what you want to address. A therapist’s profile can show whether they use approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or acceptance and commitment therapy.
In Salt Lake City, your search may include therapists near Downtown, Sugar House, Holladay, or other nearby neighborhoods, along with Utah therapists who offer virtual appointments. Some people prefer an office that fits their commute or daily routine, while others choose virtual therapy for more scheduling options. Beyond specialty, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, session format, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading bios before you book can help you understand a therapist’s communication style, experience, and what sessions may look like.
Therapy in Salt Lake City can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket session costs. Headway helps you find licensed therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, many of whom are accepting new patients, and who match your preferences for care, schedule, and format. You can enter your insurance details, see an estimated cost before booking, review therapist profiles, and book directly when you’re ready.
