Dr. Jennifer McManus
Psychologist, PhD, Licensed Psychologist, PLLC
Does this sound familiar? You want to feel peaceful and content, but instead you are feeling: overwhelmed by stress, totally burned out, or even debilitated by anxiety. It’s been hard for you to manage the emotional toll of constant and often unrealistic demands. You can rarely find a moment to stop and catch your breath. Each day feels like you are being stretched a bit thinner and you wonder how much you have left to give. Life doesn’t have to go on this way. Hi, I’m Dr. Jennifer McManus and I help ambitious women find relief from stress, burnout, anxiety, and deep emotional pain. It is my mission to provide scientifically informed psychotherapy without sacrificing compassion and genuine concern.

Counselor/Therapist, MC, LPC, CCTP-II
Online therapy offers a convenient way to seek support from the comfort of your own home and it is just as effective as going into an office. I enjoy meeting with clients online just as much as I do in person, as it more about the connection than it is the place.

Cordell Pearson
Counselor/Therapist, CMHC, LPC, NCC
I offer online therapy for individuals across Utah who feel weighed down by old wounds, persistent anxiety, or emotions that feel difficult to hold alone. In our work together, you’ll find a steady, compassionate space where your internal world can be understood rather than judged. Using approaches like EMDR, DBR, and parts-oriented therapy, I help you gently reconnect with the pieces of yourself that are asking for attention, clarity, and relief. Healing becomes possible when you no longer have to navigate it in isolation—and when your story is met with curiosity, respect, and genuine care.

Dr. Amanda Malak
Psychologist, Clinical Psychologist
Adolescents and adults navigating their faith and sexuality (LGBTQ+ affirming), anxiety, depression, interpersonal challenges, grief, trauma, pregnancy/postpartum, family of origin concerns, identity development, and general life stressors and transitions would particular enjoy working with me. Multicultural couples and families navigating culture clashes, estrangement, faith transitions, and sexual and intergenerational trauma, especially for BIPOC populations, are treatment specialties. Psychedelic psychotherapy preparation and integration are also available with referrals to clinics and others who can provide medication administration. Psychological assessment to clarify diagnoses such as autism, bipolar disorder, ADHD, etc., Independent Medical Evaluations (IME), worker’s compensation, preemployment for first responders, and fitness-for-duty-evaluations are also offered. Approaching patients with cultural humility is a core value at Malak Psychology honoring who you are, your ancestors, and the indigenous land we occupy.
Grounded in decolonizing mental health, liberation, and feminist psychologies, my practice employs multimodal approaches, including dialectical behavior therapy, cognitive behavior therapy, cognitive processing therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, somatic experiencing, emotionally focused couples therapy, Gottman, family systems, psychoanalysis, and more.
Empowering you to forge your unique path, I serve as a guide with an emphasis on agency and self-determination. Collaborative wellness plans allow participants to decide the depth of exploration into subjects. I ensure evidence-based, collaborative, and individualized care by incorporating peer-reviewed research and indigenous knowledge systems.

Dr. Nichole Vincent
Psychologist, PsyD
You’ve been pushing, pulling, and trying your damnedest to hold it all together. But let’s be real – deep down, you know something’s gotta give. Life wasn’t meant to feel this hard, this stuck, this… much.
And if you’re being honest? You’re SO over it.
Here’s the truth: you’re not broken. You’re navigating a world that doesn’t always make it easy to thrive. But that doesn’t mean you can’t reclaim your power, find your flow, and create a life that feels exactly right for YOU.
Let me guess…
• You’re caught in relationships that leave you feeling unseen, unheard, and unfulfilled.
• Your brain races at night like it’s training for a marathon – replaying every conversation, obsessing over
what you “should’ve” done, or worrying about what’s next.
• Your to-do list owns you. You make them, you lose them, and even when you cross things off, you still feel
like you’re falling short.
• Every day feels like you’re stuck on autopilot, and you can’t help but wonder: Is this it?
• You’re holding your sh*t together on the outside but are so effing drained on the inside.
• You thought you’d buried it, but those old painful memories still find ways to show up and shake your
foundation.
• You don’t let anyone in because you don’t want to “burden” them with your struggles.
What if it doesn’t have to be this way?
Therapy With Me Is More Than Just Talking – It’s About Transforming
I’m here to shake things up. To get to the root of what’s really holding you back – the stories, patterns and cycles that keep you stuck – and disrupt the sh*t out of them. To help you stop spinning your wheels and start moving toward a life that feels good.
You deserve a life that feels aligned with who you are – not just who you’re “supposed” to be. I’m here to help you:
• Finally figure out why you keep saying yes to less and start asking for (and getting) what you deserve.
• Turn off the mental replay and get the deep, restorative rest you’ve been craving.
• Stop letting your to-do list define your worth – and start finding joy in your days again.
• We’ll figure out what you really want and how to get it. Yes, even the big, scary, “am I allowed to want this?”
stuff.
• Heal the sh*t from your past so it doesn’t keep showing up in your present.
• You’ll feel free to show up fully as yourself. No more shrinking, silencing, or second-guessing.
You’re worthy of a life that feels spacious, joyful, and ease-filled – and I’m here to help you create it.
It’s Time to Step Into Your Mentally “Well-thy” Life
You’re not here to settle. You’re here to thrive. To rise. To reclaim what’s been waiting for you all along. And while this journey might feel scary, overwhelming, or even impossible right now, I promise you this: I’ll meet you where you are, but I won’t leave you there.
I see you. I’ve got you. Let’s do this.

Dr. Madelyn Satz
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Life is challenging. All of us will deal with difficulty at some point in our lives, and many of us will face repeated struggles. We have a hand in some of these troubles and others we have no control over. But we always have control over how we interpret events, how we relate to them, how we make sense of them, and what we do as a result. There is validity in whatever way we view our situation, but as a starting place, not the only place, and we can move through and beyond into a clearing of many more and better possibilities.
I have many tools and techniques and strategies to shift perspective from deeply painful to healing and expansion. Despite how vulnerable we are in life, there is also a great deal of thriving that is available to us - when we know how to harness it.

Kristen Jackson Banister
Counselor/Therapist, M.A. LPC SEP
I offer online therapy for those who want flexible, accessible support from the comfort and security of their own space. Virtual sessions can be just as effective as in-person therapy, especially for somatic and trauma-informed work, where feeling safe and at ease is essential.
Whether you’re navigating anxiety, trauma, life transitions, or simply feeling overwhelmed, online therapy allows us to stay consistent and connected—no matter where you are. Together, we create a grounded, attentive space where you can slow down, tune into your body, and work toward meaningful, lasting change.
Online sessions are secure, confidential, and designed to support real transformation—not just convenience.

I offer individual and couples online teletherapy which takes place through secure video or phone allowing you to connect from the comfort of your home or any private space.

Amy Look
Psychologist, PhD, LP
You are thoughtful, capable, and successful in many areas of your life but inside, you feel overwhelmed, disconnected, and unsure how to move forward. You overthink, hold yourself to impossible standards, and take care of everyone else while your own needs fall to the side. It's exhausting and leads to emotional burnout, but it doesn't need to be this way. Our work together will focus on evidence-based strategies to calm your mind, manage stress, increase confidence, improve relationships, and start living a life that’s aligned with your values. To learn more about what it would be like to work together, reach out by calling or sending me a message.

Dr. Jenny Shields
Psychologist
Online therapy doesn’t have to feel distant or impersonal. In fact, my clients often tell me our virtual sessions feel just as warm, authentic, and deeply connected as if we were sitting in the same room. I specialize in helping healthcare providers, executives, and high-achieving professionals who feel burned out, stuck, or quietly overwhelmed—especially folks who’ve been so busy taking care of everyone else they’ve lost touch with themselves. My approach combines evidence-based behavioral science, genuine empathy, and practical strategies designed specifically for your unique challenges and goals. Whether you’re at home, in your office, or somewhere in between, our work together will help you step out of survival mode, reconnect with your values, and create meaningful, lasting change.

Michelle Bloom, PsyD
Psychologist, PsyD, PsyPact
Since the pandemic shook our world and the experience of how we connect with others, I have been practicing remotely. I have found that teletherapy has been as effective as meeting in person in terms of relationship building, creating a safe space, and communicating openly, honestly, and directly. For many clients with busy lives, online therapy reduces the obstacles of travel, traffic, and parking, and provides a simple way of managing billing/payment.

Gilbert is one of the fastest-growing cities in the United States and one of the most family-oriented suburbs in the Phoenix metro, with a significant LDS (Latter-day Saint) community that shapes the social fabric and therapy culture — many residents seek therapists who can integrate faith values with evidence-based approaches to marriage, parenting, and anxiety. The city's rapid growth and suburban character mean social isolation and the challenge of building community in a sprawling new development are recurring therapy themes. Dignity Health Mercy Gilbert Medical Center provides institutional mental health resources, and many Gilbert residents access care through the broader Phoenix metro therapy ecosystem. The city's younger family demographic drives consistent demand for child and adolescent therapists and couples counselors.
