Meet Emily Duffin, LCSW

"I have over 15 years of experience working with adults and youth on issues related to depression, anxiety, and trauma. I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, which are evidence based therapies that have been found to effectively support healing from trauma, improve distress tolerance and increase healthy emotional and behavioral regulation. I also have extensive experience working with parents on improving their parenting skills and better managing oppositional behaviors while also creating a more nurturing and supportive relationship with their child(ren).

I am trained in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) which has been found to be effective in treating trauma and supporting better emotional and behavioral regulation in youth. In addition, I am trained in Child Parent Relationship Therapy, an evidence based therapy that teaches parents how to be play therapists with their child(ren) ages 3-8, and Parent-Child Interaction Therapy, a parent coaching therapy that is one of most effective evidence-based treatments for addressing severe behavior management problems in young children available today.

I have a passion for helping individuals and families to find and foster their power to create their own happiness, effectively heal and meet personal goals. If I can support you in better meeting your own personal and/or familial goals I would be honored to be part of your journey."

Meet Suzie Cressall, CSW

"I strive to help clients unlock their potential and zeal for life amongst the barriers they may be facing—such as relationship difficulties, compulsions, trauma, and unhelpful thinking patterns that keep them stuck. I have a compassionate approach that considers societal and cultural impact. I believe the client is the expert on their own life, and I seek to understand their perspective and insight thoroughly.

Additionally, I bring my experience in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to the table to teach clients the tools they need to make real change.

I dislike the term ā€˜talk therapy’ because I believe good therapy takes action as well. I love providing a safe place for clients to feel their feelings authentically and challenge their limiting beliefs about themselves. Growth and change are possible, not always easy, but possible.

I love working with children through adults at all phases of the life cycle. I am capable of working with individuals, couples, and families as they navigate the issues of life. Some of those issues I am especially interested in are family estrangement, pregnancy, postpartum, infertility, depression, anxiety and compulsive disorders, and chronic illness."

Meet Madison Gibbs, ACMHC

"I am passionate about helping individuals navigate life and faith transitions, low self-confidence, relationship challenges, sexual health concerns, shame, anxiety, depression, and compulsive behaviors (e.g. po*******hy). I believe that our relationship with ourselves and others can be powerful parts of our healing journey and ability to create change in our lives. Relationships take work and therapy can be a great place to explore barriers and process experiences that may be getting in the way of healing. I will be honored to support you on your journey toward meaningful change, growth, and healing in your life and relationships.

Building strong, supportive relationships with clients is a privilege I deeply value. In our sessions, you can expect a foundation built on safety, security, and unconditional positive regard. I am committed to holding the painful parts of your experiences with empathy and compassion, especially during moments when you may feel unable to hold them yourself.

My goal is to ensure you feel seen, heard, and know that you are not alone in your experiences or pain. Together we will work towards understanding and transforming your challenges to provide you with tools to have a confident, connected, and compassionate relationship with yourself and others. I look forward to being part of your path to healing and growth."

Meet Steve Nickolaisen, Ph.D

"I really respect those who want to face the more difficult parts of life and themselves. I enjoy helping people find the insights and skills that will help them lead more fulfilling lives. I have been in the behavioral health field for a decade and have helped people with a wide array of struggles. My approach to counseling is anchored in evidence-based treatments that work well among a wide variety of issues. I utilize skills and interventions from Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy.

As a teenager, I struggled with a variety of mental health issues, including ADHD, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, and depression. It was a difficult and dark time for me. Learning to cope with these things was a long journey for me. As I learned and healed, I realized I wanted to help others with mental health struggles. The foundation for my counseling approach comes from skills and interventions that I have implemented successfully in my own life.

My first jobs in the behavioral health field involved working as a staff member in a residential treatment center, and then on a psychiatric unit. After I experienced working directly with clients all throughout the day, I decided I wanted to pursue more education so I could be a greater source of healing in other’s lives. I completed my Master’s in Counseling and PhD in Counseling Psychology at Northern Arizona University in 2017. I then completed an internship and residency at a regional hospital, where I did counseling and testing in inpatient and outpatient settings. I moved to the Wasatch Front in 2019, and have been doing outpatient counseling and testing since."
