Alina Hovsoyan
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I support autistic clients by creating a calm, predictable, and person-centered therapeutic space where their communication style, sensory needs, and processing patterns are honored. Using a neurodiversity-affirming and trauma-informed approach, I help clients increase self-understanding, reduce anxiety, and build practical skills for emotional regulation, social navigation, and daily functioning. I draw on strengths-based strategies, and structured tools that support clarity and autonomy. Together, we explore routines, relationships, sensory overwhelm, and executive functioning challenges with compassion and flexibility. My goal is to empower autistic clients to feel safe, capable, and authentically themselves—while helping them build lives that work with their nervous system, not against it.

Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
Most people who don't progress in therapy, have undiagnosed neurodivergence. We have the ability to help get you tested. We know the neurodivergent resources to help you to get the information you need to understand what you or a loved one are going through. You will be able to feel the difference during our sessions. You will gain the skills and knowledge to make change happen outside of therapy.

Shannon Gorres
Life Coach, MDiv, MA
Many of my clients who have autism appreciate my ability to communicate clearly, give options, and not take it personally if you disagree with me. I'm calm and transparent, here to appreciate and support how each person navigates their world. Many of my clients with autism appreciate my invitations to get to know their feelings- without pressure to have any certain type of experience.

Provo is home to Brigham Young University (BYU), the flagship university of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and the city's mental health landscape is shaped in profound ways by LDS religious culture—perfectionism, gender role expectations, honor code pressure, LGBTQ+ identity in a context where same-sex relationships are prohibited by church policy, and the mental health challenges common in communities with high standards of behavior and limited space for vulnerability. BYU's counseling center provides mental health services for enrolled students within the constraints of university honor code policies, and a number of private practitioners in the area specialize in faith-sensitive therapy or working with clients navigating transitions in their relationship with LDS beliefs. Common therapy concerns include faith and doubt, religious deconstruction and identity, LGBTQ+ identity in an LDS context, perfectionism and anxiety, and the challenges of mental health in a community where disclosure of struggle can feel threatening to one's social and spiritual standing. Utah County's mental health needs are significant across the board, and Provo is an important service hub for the surrounding region.
