Couples therapists in Salt Lake City, UT

As a first-generation Asian immigrant to the U.S. and an ex-Mormon, I understand the difficulty of blending cultures, values, and faith transitions. It is important to me to help individuals feel heard without judgment, shame, or guilt and give them a sense of belonging. My goal as a therapist is to help you gain new perspectives and confidence to take on any challenges in your life. I want to help you expand your emotional tolerance, walk with you through your grief and fears, and assist you in life transitions.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and the owner of Night Owl Wellness. I hold a master's degree from the University of Utah.

I work with a wide range of adult populations, including LGBTQIA+ individuals, veterans, sexual trauma survivors, those with addiction, people with Autism/ADHD, and survivors of religious trauma. My personal and professional understanding of trauma's complex impact is what drives my passion for this work.

My therapeutic training includes Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and other eclectic and integrated interventions.

Hello and Welcome! I began my LCSW career as a therapist at the University Neuropsychiatric Institute (now Huntsman Mental Health Institute, or HMHI) and several Employee Assistant Programs (EAP’s) before opening my own private practice.

With a strong foundation in diagnosing and treating acute mental illnesses, I now focus primarily on helping clients facing less severe but impactful mental health issues. My areas of specialization include depression, anxiety, trauma, self-esteem, relationship challenges, anger management, and childhood-related problems and primarily work with adults and older adolescents.

Though it may not be immediately visible, I bring extensive experience working with diverse populations, including LGBTQIA+, BIPOC, neurodivergent (ND), and neurotypical (NT) individuals. I openly invite questions and conversations around these topics, emphasizing my inclusive and affirming approach.

Beyond my clinical work, I am passionate about the outdoors and enjoy Utah’s rich natural offerings, including hiking, camping, scuba diving, skiing, sailing, and climbing. A dedicated traveler, I’ve visited approximately 75 countries, with extended stays in the majority of them. My extroverted nature fuels a deep curiosity about people and their unique life experiences.

I'm a Utah native who studied at the University of Utah in Pesychology and Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I've worked primarily in substance abuse and addiction, which includes depression, anxiety, family issues, and communication - all the things that come with it. In my 11 years or practice, I've picked up a lot along the way.

When contemplating “resiliency,” I am reminded of the wisdom shared by Thich Nhat Hanh in his quote, “No Mud, No Lotus.” This succinctly encapsulates life’s challenges and the accompanying suffering. While we often yearn for happiness devoid of difficulties, I firmly believe that these struggles are indispensable for our overall well-being, akin to the lotus requiring mud to flourish.

My role involves helping clients recognize their potential to bloom into something remarkable, even amidst adversity when the path seems obscured. Through the integration of mindfulness, self-compassion, and trauma-informed methodologies, I facilitate a journey where clients unearth their inherent strengths and resilience, fostering transformative growth from within.

I work with individual adolescent and adult clients via virtual sessions. I also specialize in working with ADHD clients—especially creatives, musicians, performers, artists, and late-diagnosed—who feel stuck, bored, or disconnected from their sense of flow. My work is active, conversational, and insight-oriented rather than passive or clinical.

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Utah, I bring a unique blend of life experience and professional expertise to my practice. Before becoming a therapist, I spent many years in the music and entertainment industry, working as a sound engineer and record producer in Los Angeles. This background has given me a deep appreciation for creativity, resilience, and the complexities of human relationships—skills I now use to support my clients through their own life challenges. I understand firsthand how important it is to feel seen and heard, and I strive to create a welcoming, nonjudgmental space for everyone I work with

Adam Love is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a passion for helping people through life’s hardest transitions—grief, trauma, addiction, relationship struggles, and identity shifts. His path to becoming a therapist was anything but linear. Originally trained as a writer, Adam earned an MFA in Creative Writing and worked for over a decade in content marketing. But after the loss of his best friend in 2020, everything changed. In processing his own grief, Adam discovered social work and felt an immediate calling to the field. In his free time, Adam can often be found skiing at Alta or touring Big/Little Cottonwood Canyon, walking the golf course at Bonneville, traveling with his dogs, or losing himself in a photography or videography excursion - and sometimes attempting a beautifully difficult video game.

I bring a mix of deep listening, mindfulness, and just enough humor to help you breathe a little easier while we face the hard stuff together. I believe deeply in the possibility of change — the real kind of change that takes courage, patience, and practice. And I know that change is hard, which is why you’ll never have to navigate it alone in our work.

Clients often describe me as warm, collaborative, and gently direct. I’m committed to making therapy a space where you feel supported, challenged in helpful ways, and respected for the experiences that shaped you. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, relationship patterns, identity concerns, or major life transitions, I’ll walk alongside you with curiosity, compassion, humor, and practical guidance.

I'm a curious and understanding therapist who finds immense joy in my work. With a deep passion for building meaningful connections, I thrive on supporting my clients as they navigate their journey to self-acceptance and purpose in life.
