Questions
What therapy approaches do you use?
We primarily use CBT, REBT, and ACT techniques combined with person-centered approaches. Our methods emphasize practical strategies, self-compassion, and relationship-based healing tailored to each client's needs.
Do you accept insurance?
We don't accept insurance directly but provide superbills for potential out-of-network reimbursement. We accept HSA payments and offer flexible payment options for private pay clients.
How is coaching different from therapy?
Coaching focuses on future-oriented goals and lifestyle improvements without addressing past trauma. Therapy provides clinical treatment for mental health conditions using evidence-based therapeutic techniques within state licensing regulations.
What ages do you work with?
We specialize in adolescent care (ages 13-19) while also providing therapy for adults and family systems. Our teen programs emphasize parental involvement and systemic changes.
Are virtual sessions available?
Currently we offer in-person sessions at our Utah location and AI-powered digital coaching tools. Virtual therapy options may be available through special arrangements for coaching clients outside Utah.
How do you handle crisis situations?
We don't provide emergency services. Clients receive crisis resources during intake. For immediate emergencies, we recommend contacting local crisis centers or emergency services.
