Wesley Bertagnole

I have 15 years of counseling experience supporting children, teens, adults, couples, and families through life’s challenges. I hold a Master of Science in Counselor Education from the University of Wyoming and am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in Utah, a Licensed Professional Counselor in Wyoming, and a National Board-Certified Counselor.

I am passionate about helping people navigate difficult experiences, strengthen their relationships, and improve their overall mental health. I believe everyone has the ability to grow and create meaningful change, and I am committed to helping my clients develop the tools, skills, and confidence they need to overcome challenges and build healthier, more fulfilling lives.

My approach to therapy is grounded in active listening, trust, and mutual respect. I strive to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where my clients feel comfortable being themselves, exploring their experiences, and working through challenges at their own pace. I recognize that every individual and family has unique needs, and I tailor my approach to ensure therapy is meaningful and effective for each client.

I incorporate evidence-based techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy to help clients better understand their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors while identifying practical solutions and building on their existing strengths. My goal is to empower clients with the insight, skills, and confidence to make lasting positive changes in their lives.

During our first session, my priority is to help you feel comfortable, heard, and supported as we begin building a strong therapeutic relationship. I will walk you through the counseling process, explain confidentiality and its limitations, and give you the opportunity to share your concerns, experiences, and goals for therapy at a pace that feels right for you.

Together, we will begin identifying the challenges you would like to address and establish meaningful goals to guide our work. You can expect a respectful, collaborative, and nonjudgmental space where your perspective matters and we can begin developing a plan that aligns with your individual needs and helps you move toward lasting growth and positive change.
