Prenatal and postpartum therapists & psychiatrists in Utah

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.

Erin Grover worked as the Clinical Director of WinGate Wilderness.

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.

I'm a licensed professional counselor with over 20 years of experience working with adults navigating some of life's hardest seasons — infertility, adoption, depression, anxiety, life transitions, and the kind of grief that doesn't have a clear name yet. I'm faith-integrated in my approach, which means I honor the role spirituality plays in your life without ever making it a requirement. My clients describe me as warm, easy to talk to, and refreshingly direct. I don't do one-size-fits-all therapy — every treatment plan starts with your story.

I'm interested in helping you become your best, authentic self - whatever that looks like! Therapy is about relationships -- the relationship between therapist and client as well as the relationship the client has with themselves and others. My goal as a therapist is for you to feel seen, heard, and understood and to take that capacity and generalize it throughout your lived experience. As a therapist, I examine your memories, perceptions, and presence to paint a vibrant picture of who you are.
