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

Hi, my name is Jenika and I have 5+ years of experience working with clients to better understand their emotions, patterns, and life experiences while building practical tools to manage stress, anxiety, trauma, and life transitions.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who values creating a safe, supportive, and collaborative therapy space. My professional background includes school counseling and trauma-focused work within a nonprofit setting, where I have supported individuals navigating complex emotional and relational challenges. I earned my Master of Science in Social Work (MSSW) from Utah State University in Logan, Utah, in 2023.

I am an LCSW. I am a trauma and neurodivergent-informed therapist that specializes in EMDR and DBT. I am good at building relationships with clients and helping them feel safe. I use humor and direct communication to overcome barriers with clients. I use things like art, culture, media, etc. to reach clients where they are at. I am non-binary and work on LGBT issues with clients. I am also a person of color, so I work with cultural trauma.

I dedicate my life work to helping others find ease in their life along with meaning and purpose and whatever is most important to them and their loved ones. When we lost my son-in-law to addiction and suicide, this career was jump-started!

My education and licensing background includes:

Master of Arts - Integrated Recovery for Co-Occuring Disorders - Hazelden Betty Ford Graduate School

CMHC - Clinical Mental Health Counselor

LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor

LAADC/ICAADC - Internationally Certified / Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor

Many high-performing adults are used to being the one others depend on. From the outside, life may look successful and put together, but internally you may feel overwhelmed, anxious, emotionally exhausted, or constantly questioning yourself despite your accomplishments.

I specialize in working with professionals, leaders, and high-achieving adults who are balancing demanding careers, relationships, parenting, and personal expectations while struggling with anxiety, burnout, imposter syndrome, trauma, ADHD, perfectionism, or stress that never fully seems to shut off. Many of my clients are successful professionally but find themselves struggling to feel fully present at home, connected in relationships, or able to truly slow their mind down.

I also work with adults navigating depression, major life transitions, work stress, relationship challenges, and the pressure of trying to manage everything while continuing to perform at a high level. Often, the same strengths that help people succeed professionally can also contribute to chronic stress, emotional exhaustion, people-pleasing, overthinking, difficulty relaxing, or feeling like they always need to stay in control.

Therapy with me is not about judgment or simply “talking about feelings.” It is a practical, supportive, and collaborative process focused on helping you better understand yourself, improve emotional awareness, manage stress more effectively, strengthen relationships, and feel more grounded and confident in both your personal and professional life.

Hey, I'm Jess! I'm glad you're here and look forward to getting to know you and helping you, help yourself! My focus is in OCD, ADHD, support for Autism, and working within the LGBTQIA+ community.

I have 6+ years of working with both individuals and couples. I work to create an atmosphere free of judgement while trying to be as direct as possible.

I’m a Master’s-level social worker with a passion for helping individuals navigate life’s challenges with evidence-based, compassionate care. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Social Work from Utah Valley University and my Master’s degree in Social Work from University of Utah.

My clinical experience spans community mental health, nonprofit settings, residential treatment, and group practice, giving me a well-rounded perspective in supporting diverse populations across different levels of care.

Wanting to get to the "why" of your and others behaviors and thinking can be a lifetime of healing. Have you ever wondered about why male and females are so different? I study that and have 7 brothers. I graduated from the U of U in social work. I know that my own journey in life and doing my own work can really help others do the same. One of my favorite work experiences was in drug and alcohol treatment. Your background does not define who you are. Having a safe place to be heard, understood and process is my intention. Feel free to cry and yell. I like to give resources that could be used now or they maybe helpful for the future. Let's find the joy together.

Hi, I’m Jordan, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with two master’s degrees in behavioral science and social work. I have extensive experience in hospital and clinical mental health settings, working with individuals facing depression, anxiety, trauma, addiction, ADHD, and OCD. I’m trained in EMDR and specialize in helping people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or in a constant state of trauma. I’m comfortable working at the depth needed to help you create the change you’re looking for.

I help individuals with navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, faith transitions, and religious trauma. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from themselves or their values, and we work together to create meaningful, sustainable change.

I am EMDR trained and draw from attachment-based approaches, Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I also have pursued and continue to pursue specialized training focused on understanding and treating religious trauma.
