“The green reed which bends in the wind is stronger than the mighty oak which breaks in a storm.”― Confucius. Have you felt that anxiety, depression, or trauma are stopping you from living the life you want and deserve? I utilize evidence-based practices with clients like Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy approaches to develop more adaptive responses and cultivate lasting coping to help clients bend with the winds of life. I'm now accepting clients for both in-person and telehealth therapy, and accept many insurances.

Hi, I’m Haley Beeson, LCSW, licensed in Utah and co-founder of EternalBloom Counseling in Austin. My background includes working with individuals, couples, and families navigating anxiety, disordered eating, identity concerns, trauma, and relationship challenges. I believe the relationships we have with ourselves and others shape how we experience the world.

Find the right LGBTQ-friendly therapy provider for you

Headway makes it easier to connect with affirming therapists who understand your identity — from finding the right therapist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a LGBTQIA Therapist in Salt Lake City, UT

Finding LGBTQIA+ therapists in Salt Lake City starts with looking for identity-affirming care. An affirming therapist may support people navigating identity, relationships, family dynamics, anxiety, depression, trauma, or life transitions. As you compare options, look for therapists who list experience with LGBTQIA+ clients, affirmative therapy, gender-diverse care, or World Professional Association for Transgender Health training. The right fit goes beyond general experience — a therapist’s listed specialties and approach should match what you want support with.

Salt Lake City has a range of mental health therapists, but LGBTQIA+-affirming options may vary by neighborhood, schedule, and appointment format. Virtual therapy can expand your choices, especially if you want a therapist with specific experience or prefer more scheduling flexibility. Beyond specialty, consider whether a therapist is accepting new clients, offers appointment times that work for you, provides a free phone consultation, or shares identity and background details that matter to you. Reading bios can help you see how each therapist describes their communication style, populations served, and approach to care before you book.

Therapy in Salt Lake City can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care easier to plan for. Headway helps you search for LGBTQIA+ therapists in Salt Lake City who are accepting new clients, compare bios, check appointment availability, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking. You can review therapists who match your needs, accept your plan, and offer in-person or virtual appointments when you’re ready.
