Marie West

Everyone's journey is unique. I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in Utah with over 15 years of experience working with clients of all ages, from children and adolescents to adults. I specialize in trauma, depression, anxiety, PTSD, life transitions, and relationship difficulties, and I have a deep personal passion for working with members of the LGBTQ community. My belief is that true healing involves addressing the individual as a whole, recognizing the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit. I consider it a privilege to help each person learn how to build on their strengths and work toward their goals. All are welcome.

I take a holistic, person-centered approach and draw from a range of evidence-based methods including trauma-focused CBT, solution-focused therapy, mindfulness, and experiential techniques. I tailor my approach to each client because no two people experience their challenges in the same way. My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable exploring who you are, identifying your strengths, and developing the skills to move toward the life you want.

Our first session is a chance to get to know each other and figure out together what you need. I will ask about what brought you in, what has been challenging, and what you are hoping to work toward. You do not need to have everything figured out yet. My job is to make sure you feel welcome and at ease from the very start.
