Danielle Thurman (Roots and Wings Family Therapy)
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
As an EFT and IFS therapist, I provide a safe, affirming space to help LGBTQ+ individuals and couples navigate the unique challenges of minority stress, coming out, and internalized shame. By integrating Internal Family Systems (IFS), we can gently unburden parts of you that have absorbed negative societal messages or carry protective, fearful, or shame-based roles, allowing your core Self to lead with compassion.
Complementing this, I use Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to foster secure attachments, helping you and your partner de-escalate conflict and rebuild trust in a world that may not always feel supportive. Together, we will honor your inner complexity, celebrate your identity, and build resilience. All parts of you are welcome here.

We offer affirmative therapy for individuals from BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ communities, addressing unique challenges and barriers to treatment with culturally competent therapists.

In therapy, we’ll create a safe, affirming space to explore these feelings and work toward building authentic connections and a deeper sense of belonging.

Andrew McKenzie, Psy.D.
Psychologist
As a gay psychologist, I understand that LGBTQ+ experiences are shaped by far more than identity alone. Whether you're navigating coming out, relationships, family dynamics, marginalization stress, or simply looking for a therapist who understands your lived experience, I offer an affirming space where every part of you is welcome. Together, we'll explore life's challenges with curiosity, compassion, and a focus on building a life that brings meaning, vitality, and purpose. My goal is to help you build greater flexibility in responding to challenging emotions and experiences so that your day-to-day rhythm feels more authentic, connected, and free.

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.
