Jason Herr
Psychologist, Psy.D.
My approach to therapy is grounded in the belief that meaningful change begins with understanding—of ourselves, our patterns, and the biological and emotional systems that shape how we experience the world. I work with individuals, couples, and families across a wide range of concerns, integrating clinical experience, psychological insight, and education about how the brain and nervous system function under stress, trauma, and emotional strain.
Throughout my career in community mental health, private practice, medical settings, and teaching, I have worked with people facing complex emotional and relational challenges. These experiences have shaped a practical, compassionate, and direct style that focuses on helping clients understand why they feel and react the way they do, while developing concrete skills for change. I believe therapy is not only about symptom relief but about increasing self-awareness, emotional regulation, and the ability to navigate life with greater clarity and intention.
My work often includes helping clients understand the connection between thoughts, emotions, and physiological responses. By learning how to regulate the nervous system and tolerate uncertainty, individuals can respond more thoughtfully rather than react automatically. I aim to create a collaborative and respectful therapeutic environment where clients feel safe to explore difficult experiences, retell their stories when needed, and move toward a stronger sense of stability and self-understanding.
Therapy is a process of growth, accountability, and compassion. Whether someone is navigating anxiety, grief, relationship challenges, trauma, or life transitions, my goal is to help them build insight, resilience, and a more grounded sense of who they are and how they want to live.

Merritt Posten Benz
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LSCSW, CDWF, MCLC
I am drawn to raw unfiltered courage. Going to therapy a brave choice and it takes tenacity and grit to feel differently and make changes in our lives. When we deny our stories, they define us. When we own our stories, we become the author who writes the brave new ending. Together we will examine the thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that are holding you back identify the new choices and practices that will move you toward more authentic and wholehearted living. Rarely is that decision a whim or an impulse, and most likely you've been thinking about this for a while. Now here you are; being curious and maybe nervous and scared at the same time. In my opinion - that is bravery and brave things are rarely comfortable, but always worth trying.
Whether you are looking to make a shift in your relationships, provide help and guidance for your children, or you have reached a point in your own life where you no longer want to "figure it out alone"- you have come to a good place to get moving. It can get better.
We all struggle at times - with anxiety, depression, and stress - along with the circumstances in our lives that contribute to these feelings. The "feelings" themselves are never wrong. Where we get into trouble (and can feel stuck in them) is when we can't make sense of it all and isolation creeps in. You're not in this alone.

Patrick Powers
Marriage and Family Therapist, PhD, LMFT
Hi, I’m Patrick.
I'm originally from Oklahoma but have lived in Utah for over 15 years. I love my two dachshunds, sports, stand-up comedy, concerts, and spending time with my wife and two sons.
I specialize in treating OCD using ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention), but I also draw from CBT, EFT principles, positive psychology, and evolutionary psychology. I blend evidence-based strategies with a deep curiosity about what makes you you. I’m also not afraid to dig into the big existential questions and how they come up in life.
My style is relaxed, collaborative, and straightforward. Clients tell me they feel safe, understood, and surprisingly comfortable being real with me—even when we’re talking about the hard stuff like intrusive thoughts, sexual shame, or life transitions that shake your sense of self. I believe therapy works best when it feels like an honest conversation between equals. I bring clinical expertise, a nonjudgmental attitude, and a solid sense of humor. You bring your experience, goals, and values. Together, we figure things out.
If you’re looking for a therapist who’s both serious about helping and not too serious in general, I’d love to meet you.
