ADHD therapists and psychiatrists in Sandy, UT

I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor. As a counselor, I have worked in public schools, adult and youth residential facilities, online counseling, wilderness programs, private practice, and mental health facilities. My areas of expertise include sexual abuse, domestic violence, substance abuse, parenting, and leadership. I have presented at many local, state, and national professional conferences and have taught many masters’ level mental health courses for the past 20+ years. Currently, I am the Assistant Program Director and Associate Professor of Counseling at Rocky Mountain University of Health Professions. Prior to my work in counseling and academia, I served a tour of duty in Germany as an officer in the US Army and then back in America as a bank branch manager. I graduated from Brigham Young University with degrees in Corporate Communications (BA) and Educational Psychology (M.Ed.) and at the University of the Cumberlands (Ph.D.) in Counselor Education and Supervision.

I believe therapy is a collaborative process built on trust and transparency. My experience working in healthcare and in larger systems has only strengthened this belief. I look forward to joining you in your journey and supporting your growth.

Hi, I’m Eliza Ale-Finks, LCSW, a licensed clinical social worker with more than 10 years of experience in mental health and a Master of Social Work degree. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, relationship concerns, self-esteem challenges, and major life transitions. My experience includes supporting military personnel, first responders, and individuals navigating high levels of stress and significant change. I strive to create a warm, nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard, understood, and supported.

I’m a psychiatric nurse practitioner doctorally trained at the University of Utah, with eight years of mental healthcare experience including a year-long fellowship in child and adolescent psychiatry.

I primarily work with children and teens, but also love meeting with young adults, parents, and fellow healthcare workers.

Outside of work, I love spending time in the mountains with my husband, son and very hyper dog.

I dedicate my life work to helping others find ease in their life along with meaning and purpose and whatever is most important to them and their loved ones. When we lost my son-in-law to addiction and suicide, this career was jump-started!

My education and licensing background includes:

Master of Arts - Integrated Recovery for Co-Occuring Disorders - Hazelden Betty Ford Graduate School

CMHC - Clinical Mental Health Counselor

LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor

LAADC/ICAADC - Internationally Certified / Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 20 years of experience. I believe in a supportive, welcoming approach, that can be gently direct when needed. I like working with those in relationship distress, especially from an angle of men's empowerment. I am comfortable in working with trauma and sexual behaviors. I am certified to do EMDR and enjoy doing this practice with clients.

I believe that meaningful change happens in relationships—with ourselves and with others. Whether you're navigating conflict with your partner, healing after betrayal, strengthening family relationships, grieving a loss, or simply feeling stuck, therapy can provide a place to better understand yourself, reconnect with your strengths, and create lasting change.

For more than 14 years, I've worked with individuals, couples, families, and children to help them move beyond patterns that no longer serve them. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Registered Play Therapist, and educator with a PhD and master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy, I bring extensive clinical training to my work. My background also includes a master's degree in Cognitive Psychology and Neuroscience, which informs my understanding of how our brains, emotions, and relationships shape the way we experience the world. I use this knowledge to tailor therapy to each client's unique needs.

I’m a clinical mental health counselor who works with adults navigating issues such as depression, anxiety, high stress, self-esteem issues, and feeling stuck. My goal is to create a space where you can show up as you are without feeling judged. Therapy with me is collaborative, supportive, and focused on helping you understand what’s going on beneath the surface while building tools that actually make a difference in your day-to-day life.

I’ve worked with individuals from a variety of backgrounds and aim to create an inclusive environment where you feel heard, respected, and supported.
