Hi, I’m Taylor Garff, a licensed therapist and the founder of Inner Heart Therapy. I work with adults who are navigating anxiety, stress, and identity, especially folks in the LGBTQ+ community or anyone feeling overwhelmed by life’s demands.

I’m someone who believes therapy should feel like a soft place to land, not another thing you have to “get right.” My clients tell me they appreciate my warmth, humor, and ability to hold space for both the hard stuff and the hope. I’ll meet you with curiosity, compassion, and no pressure to be anything other than fully human.

In our work together, we might explore your anxious thoughts, practice ways to feel safer and more grounded in your body, or untangle patterns that keep you stuck. I use a mix of tools, like cognitive-behavioral therapy, nervous system regulation, and the Safe and Sound Protocol, to support you in finding more ease, clarity, and connection in your life.

If you’ve ever felt like you had to explain or defend your experiences, I want you to know you won’t have to do that here. This is a space where all of you is welcome.

A few things I want you to know before you even schedule: I work with a lot of people who have tried therapy before and felt like it didn't really go anywhere. Other's are coming in for the first time and feeling equal parts skeptical and hopeful. Both are completely fine starting points.

I specialize in anxiety, trauma, ADHD, and emotional regulation - including work with teens and adults dealing with BPD or bipolar. I use EMDR for trauma processing, DBT for building real-world coping skills, and trauma-focused CBT when thinking patterns are part of what's keeping someone stuck. I don't use any one approach for everyone, because everyone is different.

I'm a Utah LCSW and I work entirely via telehealth, which means I can see clients anywhere in Utah - whether that's Salt Lake City or Tooele County or somewhere in between.

Allison Norman

Allison Norman

Therapist

Virtual • Utah


Allison enjoys seeing clients who have felt that 'talk therapy' has not worked for them in the past, this is due to her conscious, somatic, and psychoeducational approach to treatment. She is trained in CBT, mindfulness work, EMDR, IFS and somatic work to create an individualized treatment for clients. Allison sees a variety of clients with needs ranging from major depression, ADD/ADHD, Anxiety,PTSD, Religious transition/trauma, eating disorders, co dependency, transitional adjustments, behavioral addictions, and intrusive thoughts to many others.

Allison's philosophy: Life's struggles stem from multiple areas. I believe in a whole-self/systems approach. The use of this philosophy offers an analysis of how the inner system - body, mind, spirit, emotion - connects to the outer system - family, culture, community. I believe when one area is out of balance, it impacts everything else.

This view extends to the belief that mental health is not separate from overall health. I am honored for the opportunity to guide my clients to self-awareness and mindfulness. Through this journey, they can gain insight into their own interwoven systems"

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.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Utah

Searching for therapists in Utah can be easier with a clear sense of what you want support with and what kind of therapist fits those needs. Utah includes larger metro areas and more rural communities, so available therapists and specialties can vary by location. If you want support with anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship challenges, grief, or stress, look for a therapist whose listed specialties and approach match what you want to address. Reading profiles can also help you compare therapy styles, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, or trauma-informed care.

Your search may look different in Salt Lake City, Provo, Ogden, Utah County, or smaller communities across the state. Some people prefer meeting in person, while others choose virtual therapy because it fits their schedule or expands their options. As you compare therapists, check whether they are accepting new patients, offer appointment times that work for you, and provide a free phone consultation. A therapist’s bio can help you understand how they structure sessions, how they communicate, and what kinds of concerns they commonly support.

The cost of therapy in Utah can vary, and paying without insurance can become a significant expense. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket cost for mental health care. Headway helps you find Utah therapists who are accepting new patients, see estimated costs before booking, and compare options that may fit your needs, schedule, and insurance plan. Nationally, Headway partners with 100+ insurance plans, so you can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
