My name is Jackson Houmand and I practice therapy as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, specializing in depression, anxiety, processing disorders, family therapy and OCD. I received a B.S. in Psychology from Brigham Young University and a Masters in Social Work from The University of Utah.
I take an "arm around the shoulder" approach with my clients, by validating their concerns and giving them skills to help them become more adaptive to their struggles. I do this by providing my clients with skills from modalities such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Acceptance Commitment Therapy. I find that it is important to develop a relationship with each of my clients, teach them skills, and help them realize that they are not alone.
I seek to make my clients feel that they are able to voice their concerns freely, without feeling judged for vocalizing their true thoughts and emotions. My hope is that all of my clients feel that they leave each week with new insights or skills that they can apply to their situations and have more confidence in themselves and the future. I want my clients to know that my office is a safe and inclusive space.
