Sasha Lloyd

Therapist

Virtual • Utah


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.

“The green reed which bends in the wind is stronger than the mighty oak which breaks in a storm.”― Confucius. Have you felt that anxiety, depression, or trauma are stopping you from living the life you want and deserve? I utilize evidence-based practices with clients like Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy approaches to develop more adaptive responses and cultivate lasting coping to help clients bend with the winds of life. I'm now accepting clients for both in-person and telehealth therapy, and accept many insurances.
