Stress
Richard Cox, PhD
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LCMHC
Life is full of stressors, and those stressors can sometimes lead to anxiety. I know how I deal with my stressors, and with other elements that just want to beat me down. However, what works for me is not necessarily what will work for you. Therefore, our challenge is to determine what are the best tools for you in dealing with your stress, or even distress.

Stress
Dr. Israel Martinez
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, CST, PhD
My therapy services are designed to address the unique emotional and psychological challenges that gay men often face. Growing up and living in systems that stigmatize and marginalize us can lead to anxiety, depression, trauma, shame, and isolation. I offer a safe, affirming space where you can explore these experiences, find healing, and build resilience.
Anxiety, Depression, and Trauma
Gay men experience higher rates of anxiety, often rooted in rejection, discrimination, and past trauma. Together, we’ll identify the sources of stress and use evidence-based strategies to reduce symptoms, improve mood, and restore balance. For those healing from trauma or PTSD, therapy offers a supportive environment to heal from painful memories and regain a sense of safety and control.
Building Confidence and Managing Stress
Stigma and chronic stress can undermine the ability to feel safe. My approach focuses on strengthening self-esteem, developing healthy coping tools, and helping you cultivate self-compassion and confidence.
My Approach
I use a client-centered, affirming approach that validates your experiences while empowering you to grow. With years of experience working with gay men’s mental health, I integrate proven therapeutic methods to support you in creating lasting change and living more fully and authentically.

Stress
Andrew D. Sapp
Psychologist, PhD
A holistic approach is helpful to identifying stressors, how to handle them, and having healthier self-talk and a healthy lifestyle. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, relaxation techniques, progressive muscle relaxation, and guided imagery can all be helpful for stress reduction. Coping skills, setting boundaries, saying no, and taking action in practical ways can help people regain control of their life and get stress under control.

Danielle Thurman (Roots and Wings Family Therapy)
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Internal Family Systems (IFS) offer powerful, complementary approaches for helping people manage chronic stress by addressing both relational patterns and internal emotional processes. EFT focuses on identifying and reshaping negative interaction cycles, helping individuals feel safer, more connected, and better able to regulate their emotions through secure attachment experiences. This sense of emotional safety reduces the intensity and persistence of stress responses. Meanwhile, IFS helps individuals understand and relate compassionately to their inner “parts” that carry anxiety, fear, or overwhelm, rather than fighting or avoiding them. By fostering self-leadership and internal harmony, IFS reduces inner conflict and promotes a calmer, more resilient nervous system. Together, these approaches support both external connection and internal balance, which are key in alleviating chronic stress.

Stress
Jordan Dye - Prepared Acceptance
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, EMT
In high-pressure fields like the military, healthcare, and education, stress isn't just a feeling—it is often a constant, physiological state of being. You are likely used to operating at a high level of intensity, but when that "crisis mode" becomes your baseline, it leads to burnout, physical depletion, and a sense of being perpetually overwhelmed. Having served in the National Guard and worked in the Emergency Department, I understand that your stress is frequently tied to the weight of your responsibilities and the high stakes of your work. My approach is direct and tactical: we focus on identifying your specific triggers and implementing evidence-based techniques to help your nervous system decompress. We will work together to build a sustainable resilience that allows you to manage the demands of your career without sacrificing your health or your happiness at home.

Alina Hovsoyan
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I support clients experiencing stress by providing a safe and supportive space to explore the sources and impacts of their stress on thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. I help clients identify triggers and patterns that contribute to overwhelm, and I teach practical coping strategies such as time management, problem-solving, relaxation techniques, and mindfulness exercises. I work with clients to develop healthy routines, set realistic goals, and build resilience to handle current and future stressors. Throughout therapy, I offer validation, guidance, and skills-based support to help clients manage stress more effectively, improve emotional regulation, and enhance overall well-being.

Salt Lake City is the world headquarters of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and this religious and cultural reality profoundly shapes the city's therapy landscape — with therapists who can work thoughtfully within LDS family frameworks, navigate faith transitions, and understand the particular psychological pressures of a community where cultural and religious expectations are deeply intertwined serving an essential role. The city's growing tech industry — part of the 'Silicon Slopes' corridor — creates additional demand for therapists experienced with startup culture, high-performance careers, and the particular identity challenges of building secular professional lives in a deeply religious community. University of Utah Health and Intermountain Medical Center provide major institutional mental health resources alongside a well-developed private therapy community. Salt Lake City's significant LGBTQ+ population — navigating identity in a predominantly LDS cultural context — creates consistent demand for affirming therapists who understand the intersection of queer identity and religious community.
