Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Utah

Currently I work full time as a professor in Family Studies and Human Development, because I love studying what makes people tick, including the vital role relationships play in our formation and happiness. I've been a practicing Marriage and Family Therapist for over 17 years.

I am at my best when I am a guide for others. I start by listening and developing understanding of who you are, what you value, and where you struggle. I will help you to find your way back to yourself and develop the trust you need in yourself to live your best life. I use an approach that is very collaborative offering tools and resources, but assisting you to choose your own direction.

We all struggle at times, especially in the way we live these days. I can help you understand how and why you may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected and develop strategies to move through this to a happier, more grounded, and more confident version of yourself.

Hello! I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and a Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner (LIMHP) based in Tennessee. I am also licensed in the states of UT and NE. I have been in practice for 15 years. I love working with clients who are genuinely seeking therapy for their own growth and awareness. I enjoy helping clients who want to take a deeper look at behaviors and relationships in their lives that could be modified and or improved. I started my career in community mental health working with individuals who were suffering from addiction, childhood trauma, family conflict, and faith crisis. I feel like I have learned the true impact addiction, poverty, trauma, and abuse can have on an individual and family system. This has helped me create space for clients to feel safe, heard, valued, and respected in our sessions. I look forward to meeting you!

Hi, I am Erika! I got my Masters in Social Work at the University of Utah. I have been working in social work related fields for the last 11 years. I specialize in trauma work (EMDR Provider) and Ketamine assisted therapy.

You've been going it alone for so long and surviving but you've reached a point where a listening ear and some new coping skills are necessary. Reaching out for therapy takes courage, and the rewards can be so worth it. My experience as a therapist can help you get unstuck and thriving again.

I have 6+ years of working with both individuals and couples. I work to create an atmosphere free of judgement while trying to be as direct as possible.

I find value in a person-centered, insight-oriented approach. I also take a somewhat eclectic approach in which modalities I use so to best adapt to your needs and preferences. I primarily work with adults of all identities. I work to create an inclusive and justice oriented practice.

When life gives you lemons...

My education gave me the tools to be a skilled clinician. But it was my own trauma that gave me the insight and depth I bring to this work. I know what it feels like to live in a body that doesn’t feel safe—to question everything, including yourself. I spent over a decade learning how to heal, reclaim my voice, and become the kind of guide I once needed.

In the midst of that long journey, I had a quiet moment of clarity: what I was going through wasn’t just about survival—it was about becoming someone who could walk with others through the dark. That experience grounds my work in both knowledge and deep compassion.

Learning to love the desert

I’ve come to believe that being lost isn’t a problem—it’s part of the path. Like La Loba, the mythical bone-gatherer who wanders the desert collecting what’s been buried and brings it back to life, I help others gather what they’ve lost along the way. That process is sacred, slow, and often surprising—but it’s how we come home to ourselves.

There are parts of you that haven’t died; they’ve just been waiting. And sometimes, when it all falls apart, that’s when the wild, wise parts of you rise again.

I have been a SW for 29 years. I received my bachelors of social work from Southern University and A&M College and my masters of social work from Southern at New Orleans. As a SW, at DCFS/CW, I have served as in Investigations, Foster Care, Family Service, Adoption, and as a Child Welfare Supervisor, CW Trainer, and a CW Manager. PRN work included working in MH/SA, hospitals, hospice and school SW. I am a TBRI Pract. & adoption competent. I help people who seek help! I retired from DCFS on 01/21/2026. Please see link below on the impact I’ve made on people across the state and allow me to help you too. Please message me for an appointment. Thank you.

Hi, I'm Drue, LCSW and founder of Reset and Rise Counseling. I work with adult women who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck or carrying more than they can manage on their own. I bring years of experience from private practice and a Level 1 Trauma Center, supporting individuals and families through some of life's most challenging moments. As a mother of 5 and a grandmother, I understand how complex and demanding life can be.

Outside of my work as a therapist, I enjoy spending time outdoors, riding my horses, and being with my family. These activities help me stay grounded and connected to what matters most in life. I value balance, authenticity, and meaningful relationships, and I bring those same values into my work with clients. I strive to create a welcoming, supportive environment where clients feel comfortable being themselves and working toward their goals.

Welcome. I believe every person has a unique story, strengths, and capacity for growth. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive, and compassionate space where children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families can feel understood and empowered. I specialize in working with individuals and families navigating ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, neurodevelopmental differences, emotional regulation challenges, relationship concerns, parenting struggles, and life transitions. I take a strengths-based and collaborative approach, helping clients better understand themselves and build meaningful connections.
