Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Salt Lake City, UT

I am direct, structured and supportive and have a strong committment to LGBTQIA+ affirming care. I specialize in helping individuals and families of all ages navigate anxiety, family dynamics, trauma, and transitions. For children, I create a safe, nurturing space where they can express and process emotions in healthy ways. With adults and adolescents, I focus on values and personal growth, working together to explore challenges, identify patterns, and develop practical strategies for change. Together, we’ll build resilience, clarity, and a renewed sense of purpose, aligning your life with what truly matters.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Masters degree in Social Work. The areas I have emphasized further training on have been childhood abuse and trauma and the trauma disorders these experiences can cause such as CPTSD, PTSD, and Dissociative Disorders. I am also deeply interested in helping individuals who have been late diagnosed with ADHD and/or Autism to better understand how their brain works and how to approach life differently.

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.

I work with adults who are navigating anxiety, depression, stress, and major life transitions. Many of the people I work with feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of how to move forward, and are looking for support in finding more clarity, stability, and confidence in their lives.

I provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can talk openly about what’s going on and feel understood. I also work with relationship challenges, grief and loss, trauma, and identity-related concerns, including transitions related to values, direction, or life roles.

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 am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who works with adults and provides integrated mental health care that combines psychotherapy and medication management. My work is solution-oriented, empowering, and open-minded, with a focus on helping clients move beyond symptom management and toward meaningful, lasting change.

My style is warm, grounded, and direct. I value collaboration and curiosity, and I approach care as a partnership rather than something that is done to you. I aim to support clients while also encouraging them to take an active role in understanding their patterns, building resilience, and reclaiming their mental and emotional health.

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

I have been in residential substance abuse most of my career and I have a SUDC license (Substance Use Disorder Counselor). I moved over to general outpatient in 2019 and have been working with a wide array of clients since then. Since most of my career and training has been with single adults, I do not see children and I do not work with couples and families.

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.

​My practice is not a social hour or "paid friendship"; it is a surgical intervention for the soul. I deliver my strongest results for high-achieving professionals, most often cisgender women, in medical, legal, and niche service industries where performance and desirability are currency. You have mastered the art of becoming the "perfect provider" to survive male-dominated spaces, but you are starving behind the mask.

​Leveraging my background in Law (JD) alongside clinical mastery, I provide a formidable container of safety where you can finally drop the performance. I work best with high-acuity professionals tired of carrying the emotional load for everyone else. We don't dismantle your strength; we restore the authentic self hidden behind the armor. (Note: I do not accept "fix-it" referrals for unwilling partners. This space is for you.)
