Hannah Muetzelfeld
Psychologist, PhD
I specialize in Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), an evidence-based treatment for PTSD and trauma-related symptoms. CPT helps individuals process and reframe unhelpful beliefs related to their trauma, allowing them to regain a sense of safety, trust, and control in their lives. I work collaboratively with clients to adaptively apply this modality to each unique case.

Richard Cox, PhD
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LCMHC
I suspect that for many psychotherapists trauma seems to be the universal ingredient in most, if not all, mental disorders. There are an increasingly growing number of models or approaches for diminishing the impact of trauma on a person's mental health. I have learned three of them, and have seen remarkable successes. In case you already know which one you want to try, I will name the three I use: Lifespan Integration, Cognitive Processing Therapy, and more recently, Flash Technique for Trauma. Cognitive Processing therapy is highly researched and listed as one of the major approaches for dealing with PTSD.

Ashley Mason
Counselor/Therapist, CMHC, LMHC
Trauma can stay with you long after the event is over — showing up as flashbacks, nightmares, anxiety, or a constant sense of being on edge. Many of my clients feel stuck in survival mode, unable to relax or trust that they are safe, even when life looks stable on the outside. In therapy, I provide a steady, compassionate space to process what you’ve been through, make sense of how it still affects you, and begin to release its grip. Over time, you can feel more grounded in your body, calmer in your mind, and more free to live fully in the present rather than being pulled back into the past.

Ashley Burkett
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCMHC, EMDRIA Certified Provider
Trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can significantly impact an individual's emotional and psychological well-being, often leading to persistent feelings of fear, anxiety, and isolation. Therapy provides a supportive environment where individuals can process their traumatic experiences and learn effective coping strategies. Through various therapeutic approaches, such as EMDR and mindfulness techniques, clients can gain insight into their reactions, reduce symptoms, and develop healthier ways to manage their emotions. With professional guidance, therapy can empower individuals to reclaim their lives, fostering resilience and a sense of hope for the future.

Pam Hill with Beacon Therapy of Utah
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Trauma can leave the body and mind stuck in a state of constant survival, making the present moment feel unsafe. I use a trauma-informed approach to help you gently reconnect with your sense of agency and calm your nervous system. Together, we will work at a pace that respects your boundaries, moving through the past so that it no longer dictates your future.

I am trained in EMDR and have worked in a trauma therapy office for 2 years. This background allows me to facilitate deep healing by helping your brain and body process distressing memories that feel 'stuck.' I combine this clinical expertise with a steady, compassionate presence to ensure you feel safely supported as you transition from simply surviving to truly thriving.

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.
