PTSD/Trauma
Sarah Neal with Beacon Therapy of Utah
Pre-Licensed Professional, CSW
When the past refuses to stay in the past, it can feel impossible to feel safe in the present. I specialize in trauma-informed care that honors your pace and prioritizes your safety while we work to process painful experiences and reduce their emotional charge. Our goal is to move you out of "survival mode" so you can reclaim your story and live a life defined by your strength rather than your history.

Allyson Eggleton with Beacon Therapy of Utah
Pre-Licensed Professional, CSW
I work with clients to process and make sense of past experiences while prioritizing safety and stabilization in the present. Therapy is paced and collaborative, focusing first on building coping skills for emotional regulation and distress tolerance. As clients feel ready, we gently explore and reprocess traumatic experiences using trauma-informed approaches. The goal is to reduce the ongoing impact of trauma, increase a sense of control, and support integration of past experiences without becoming overwhelmed.

Misty Nomberto with Beacon Therapy of Utah
Pre-Licensed Professional, CSW
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
