Jamie Calamia

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 4.5 mi away • Midvale, UT


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’m a Clinical Mental Health Counselor who works with adults navigating trauma, addiction, anxiety, depression, and big life transitions. Many of the people I work with feel stuck, disconnected from themselves, or exhausted from carrying more than they ever should have had to. I bring a grounded, real-world approach to therapy that values honesty, self-trust, and meaningful change. My goal is to help you feel more at home in yourself—not just “functional,” but genuinely alive.

Adam Love

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 7.3 mi away • Holladay, UT


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.

Heidi Riddle

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 21 mi away • Orem, UT


I believe therapy should be a dynamic, collaborative process that yields real-world results. My practice is built on a foundation of academic excellence and specialized training, including a BA in Psychology from University of Southern California and a Master of Social Work (MSW) from the University of Utah.

My Therapeutic Toolkit: Evidence-Based & Proactive

I don't believe in a "one-size-fits-all" approach. I blend several powerful, evidence-based modalities to help you achieve your goals quickly and effectively:

  • ART (Accelerated Resolution Therapy): A specialized approach for trauma and PTSD that uses eye movements to "reprogram" distressing memories and sensations, often providing relief in just a few sessions.
  • CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy): We will work together to identify and shift the thought patterns that keep you stuck in cycles of anxiety or depression.
  • DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy): I provide practical skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improving relationships—giving you a "manual" for navigating life's hardest moments.
