Danielle Thurman (Roots and Wings Family Therapy)
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
Most symptoms actually do come from childhood as cliche as that may sound. Our brain pathways develop the most from conception to age 6. We often times don't even have the memories for how our brain pathways developed. Even if you don't remember, we have proven methods to help you work through body memories as well as be able to see brain pathways. If you can understand your brain pathways, you can break the patterns once and for all.

Jordan Dye - Prepared Acceptance
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, EMT
Navigating child or adolescent issues requires a balanced approach that supports the young person while empowering the entire family unit. Drawing on my professional experience working within the school system, I understand the academic and social pressures students face today, as well as the systemic hurdles that parents often encounter when seeking support. I view therapy as a team effort, working collaboratively with both the child and the parents to ensure the "whole team" is equipped with the tools needed for success. Whether we are addressing behavioral struggles, school-based anxiety, or the impact of a high-stress household, our goal is to build practical skills and foster open communication that strengthens the family bond and helps your child thrive.

West Valley City is Utah's second-largest city and one of the most ethnically diverse communities in the state, home to large Latino, Polynesian (particularly Tongan and Samoan), and refugee communities that make it dramatically different from the predominantly white, LDS suburban cities surrounding it in the Salt Lake Valley. This diversity creates significant demand for multilingual and culturally competent therapy, and the intersection of mental health needs across immigrant, refugee, and Pacific Islander communities with Utah's broader LDS religious culture—which shapes community norms around mental health and help-seeking—creates a complex and underserved landscape. Intermountain Health and Valley Behavioral Health provide services in the area, and community health organizations address the specific trauma and adjustment needs of refugee populations. Common therapy concerns include immigration and refugee trauma, acculturation, family stress, economic anxiety, and the challenges of navigating mental health in a city where cultural and religious contexts vary sharply across neighborhoods.
