Tayler J. Iversen

Hi, I’m Tayler Iversen. I’m a Utah based licensed therapist. I received my Masters Degree in Social Work from the University of Utah and have been working in the mental health sector since 2015.

I generally take a person centered approach when it comes to therapy. Which means, I focus on affirmation, empathy, and promoting self worth. I believe ultimately you are the expert of your own life and I value your thoughts and opinions during sessions. Life can be difficult and we at times may feel “stuck.” I am here to provide support and validation as you experience challenges and difficult emotions. Together, I believe we can find a way to get unstuck! There are many different approaches to therapy and I am happy to tailor sessions to what works best for specific personalities and issues. I welcome feedback and would love to have ongoing conversations throughout therapy sessions about what is or isn’t working. I have been formally trained in DBT and EMDR. I enjoy incorporating mindfulness based strategies as well as principles of Motivational Interviewing. I have some experience with CBT, IFS, and Solution Focused therapies.

Starting therapy can sometimes feel so scary! But I promise, I’m not THAT scary! Generally, a first session includes going over the basics of therapy. Things like: why you’re here, how often we should meet, explaining rules/laws around confidentiality, and talking about my general approach to therapy. You’ll have the opportunity to ask any specific questions you might have. Some people feel extra nervous about that first session and that’s totally normal. I find that a lot of times that nervousness decreases after the first few sessions. Whether it’s your first time ever trying therapy or your 100th I’d love to be a part of your journey!
