We Are Here For YOU
Research shows the number one predictor of successful treatment is the quality of the relationship between the therapist and the patient, otherwise known as the therapeutic alliance.
At Alliance Counseling Utah, our counselors are experienced in a variety of areas. We are dedicated to providing a safe, strength-based environment to meet you where you are and help you move to where you want to be.
Areas of Expertise
Our compassionate team is experienced in a wide range of therapeutic areas, helping you find healing and growth.
Addiction & Recovery
Addiction is widespread and diverse. Individuals who experience addiction may find themselves in predictably problematic patterns of use that increase distress and even lead to impairment. Research demonstrates that these patterns of use influence the brain, further challenging an individual's effort towards change. At Alliance Counseling Utah, we provide a safe and strength-based environment to meet you where you are and help you move to where you want to be.
Affair and Attachment Injury
The exposure of an affair may shatter one's world. Partners may experience intense pain, hopelessness, despair, or shame. Trust of self, trust in the committed relationship, or trust of the partner may be questioned. Alliance Counseling Utah utilizes Emotionally Focused Therapy to build safety, identify destructive patterns of conflict, develop new ways of reaching for one another, and strengthen the relationship bond with empathy, respect, and care.
Anxiety
It is normal for all people to experience varying levels of anxiety. However, anxiety may, at times, create obstacles or even take over an individual's daily functioning. Alliance Counseling Utah will help you to identify and process difficult emotions, as well as helpful and effective ways of coping. We will strengthen your self-awareness and help you to develop positive and compassionate patterns of thought.
Child and Play Therapy
Play is a window into seeing, understanding, and being with a child. Through play, children learn to make sense of their world. At Alliance Counseling we create a safe and fun environment for children to feel comfortable being themselves and expressing themselves through play therapy and talk therapy. We help parents and family members to receive and hold their children through difficult moments.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
CBT is an approach that emphasizes awareness of the mind, its thoughts, and its patterns of thought in order to develop more preferred and healthier ways of living. At Alliance Counseling Utah we will help you to identify and compassionately understand negative patterns of thought and the emotions that surface around these thoughts, providing opportunities to restructure and reimagine new ways of thinking.
Depression
Depression is universally experienced across different backgrounds. You are not alone in experiencing the heavy cycles of depression. Alliance Counseling Utah will provide an empathetic and safe environment to identify emotions and develop coping strategies, as well as reconstructing patterns and cycles of thought that support the changes you hope to make.
Grief and Loss
Loss may transcend us to the depths of our human capacity. At Alliance Counseling Utah we provide an empathetic environment of support. We will help you to walk through your grief as you feel ready, identifying your emotional landscape and cultivating understanding, healthy coping, and opportunities to honor your loss.
LGBTQIA+ Affirmative Psychotherapy
At Alliance Counseling we will provide a safe and empathetic place for you to find clarity, support, and empowerment to explore, create, and embrace your identity with confidence. We will help you to understand your emotional experience, find effective ways of coping, and move closer to where you would like to be to live fully as you.
Men's Issues
Boys and men in our societies and cultures are often taught confusing and inaccurate messages regarding strength, toughness, weakness, and emotions. At Alliance Counseling Utah we provide a safe place to meet you where you are and help you move to the place you want to be. It takes a great deal of courage to look inward and reach outward.
Trauma/EMDR
EMDR is a comprehensive therapeutic modality used to address adverse life experiences. Goals include identifying and reprocessing maladaptive memories, strengthening the ability to connect to adaptive memory networks, and reducing vulnerability to challenging situations. We help you maintain stability and safety while achieving optimal outcomes.
OCD
OCD is common and appears as recurrent and intrusive thoughts with repetitive behaviors. At Alliance Counseling Utah we will help you to foster a compassionate understanding of your experiences, as well as implement strategies for relief, healing, and wellness. OCD is very treatable and you are not alone.
Postpartum and Perinatal Disorders
During pregnancy, childbirth, and the weeks following birth, parents may experience mild to severe symptoms of mood disorders. At Alliance Counseling Utah we will help you to access treatment, care, and support during this new time, helping you identify and access your emotions, needs, and healthy coping strategies.
Premarital Counseling
At Alliance Counseling Utah we can help you to learn healthy ways of relating to yourself and your partner, strengthening your relationship bond. Couples learn positive patterns of communicating, identification of their own emotional experiences, and other beneficial relationship strategies utilizing Emotionally Focused Therapy and Gottman methods.
Women's Issues
Society, community, and culture teach girls and women many lessons. At Alliance Counseling Utah we will help you to identify and accept your emotional experience, as well as restructure unhelpful messages and images of unworthiness so that you may hold yourself and your desires with deep understanding, love, and confidence.
