My name is Tom Kauffmann and I am a licensed clinical social worker with ten years experience. I was awarded a Master of Social Work degree from the University of Utah in 2015, where I attended classes on their campus in Salt Lake City. I also graduated from a one year licensed alcohol and drug counseling program (LADC) in 2013 at the same university prior to getting my Master's degree. I specialize in using cognitive behavioral techniques and strategies to help folks investigate how they think about things.
Therapy is a second career for me. I worked 25 years in journalism listening to stories as a reporter; often traumatic stories. When I learned that it is possible to find growth and healing after traumatic events, I chose to become a therapist to walk with individuals on their journey to finding peace and understanding.
I've worked with several victims of domestic violence, sexual violence and child abuse; and first responders, such as law enforcement, emergency medical personnel and search and rescue. I am unafraid of the hard stories; and can respect and find solutions for clients who cannot speak aloud the horrors they've experienced or seen.
I also love working with people who are ready to find their path to authenticity, joy and fulfilment.

I’m Chris.
I enjoy helping others with the challenges of daily living. I am interested in what motivates people and helping them modify behavior patterns. People aren't broken, they are doing perfectly that which they would like to do differently. I enjoy helping people grow and change, moving to the next level they desire. I have degrees in psychology and mental health counseling. I have been helping people find relieve from fear, pain, and discomfort for more than 20 years.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Salt Lake City
Finding the right therapist in Salt Lake City starts with identifying what kind of support you need. Common reasons people seek therapy here include anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, life transitions, and ADHD. If you're looking for medication management for conditions like bipolar disorder or depression, a psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner may be the right fit. Knowing your goals can help you narrow your search and find a provider whose specialties match your needs.
Salt Lake City has a large and varied mental health provider community, with licensed therapists practicing across Downtown, Sugar House, the Avenues, Holladay, and surrounding areas like Murray and Millcreek. When comparing providers, consider their credentials, areas of focus, and whether they offer virtual visits, in-person sessions, or both. Reading a provider's bio before booking can give you a sense of their approach and help you decide if they're a good match.
Therapy in Salt Lake City can be expensive without insurance — but affordable options exist when you use in-network coverage. Verifying your insurance before your first session is one of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs upfront, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a provider who fits both your clinical needs and your budget.
