Beacon Therapy Clinicians

I have had the joy of connecting with and helping others since I was little, and I think that is what prompted me to go into the mental health field (well, that and because cardigans are my preferred business attire).

I enjoy the current work I do immensely. To get here, some of my benchmarks include a B.A. in Psychology and a Master’s in Social Work (MSW), both from BYU. I am a currently licensed LCSW in Utah and have completed training in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing).

I grew up in Eastern Idaho with a strong love of the outdoors. That said, while I love hiking, camping, and the occasional fishing, I often pick an afternoon with a book over anything else. I am an impulsive traveler (usually deciding to go on a road trip an hour before leaving), and enjoy being with friends and family.

I’m a firm believer that all gatherings are better when food is included, and I avoid the gym like the plague, but I get exercise and sunshine in the mountains or by trying to develop my green thumb in my garden. (It’s still a work in progress).

Life can leave us feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure of where to begin. As a Certified Social Worker, I meet clients where they are, offering a warm, compassionate, and culturally responsive environment to process challenges, strengthen resilience, and build healthier coping strategies. Integrating evidence-based approaches like CBT, DBT, and ACT, I walk alongside individuals and families navigating mental health concerns, trauma, crisis, relationship difficulties, domestic violence, substance use, and major life transitions.

I recognize that our culture, family, relationships, and life experiences deeply shape how we understand ourselves and the challenges we face. Having worked with people from diverse backgrounds, I value culturally responsive care and aim to create a therapeutic environment where clients feel safe bringing their whole selves into the room.

By honoring your unique experiences and recognizing that you are the expert on your own life, my goal is to help you feel heard, respected, and empowered as you gain clarity and work toward a deeply meaningful and authentic life. I am fluent in English, Urdu, Punjabi, and Hindi.

Olga is a Clinical Social Worker (CSW) who received her degree from Utah State University. She is experienced in helping clients through past trauma, with a focus on survivors of domestic violence. Olga is certified in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) and also incorporates CBT, and other trauma-informed care to support healing and growth. She is also interested in the connection that often exists between trauma and OCD and offers Exposure Response Therapy (ERP).

Olga believes therapy is a collaborative journey and tailors her approach to meet each client’s unique needs. Her passion is helping clients strengthen boundaries, practice self-compassion, and cultivate resilience to create healthier relationships and more balanced lives.

Originally from Tahiti, she is bilingual in French and English and values bringing cultural understanding into her work. Outside of her work, Olga enjoys hiking, biking, and exploring the outdoors. She also treasures time with family and her animals.

I am passionate about helping people reconnect with themselves and cultivate a sense of deep acceptance and authenticity. Whether you are feeling stuck, disconnected, or ready to explore new possibilities, I believe that meaningful change begins with compassion; for yourself and your journey.

With over 5 years of personal and professional experience in the field, I bring a grounded, relational approach to therapy. My goal is to create a space where you feel seen, heard, and supported as you move toward healing and growth. I specialize in helping individuals tap into their inner strengths, generate momentum for change, and live in alignment with their core values.

Therapy is a collaborative process, and I consider it a privilege to walk alongside people as they do the courageous work of transformation. My style is warm, genuine, and curious. I strive to build a strong therapeutic connection that fosters trust, insight, and lasting change.

Outside of the therapy room, I love spending time with my wife and supporting our kids in their passions and activities. I enjoy traveling, discovering a great taco spot, and wandering aimlessly through Costco.

If you are looking for someone to support you in finding movement and growth, and living more authentically and more connected with your values and life goals, I would be honored to work with you.

I’m a therapist who believes that healing starts with being seen and heard—without judgment. As an Asian therapist, I bring both cultural awareness and compassion to the space we share. Whether you're navigating anxiety, identity, relationships, or life transitions, my goal is to create a safe place where we can explore things deeply and honestly, at your own pace.

Outside of sessions, you’ll often find me exploring cozy coffee shops, spending time with my family, or out walking with my two goldendoodles. I’ve also been learning how to garden—it’s a humbling reminder that growth takes time, care, and patience.

I know that reaching out can be the hardest step, and I want you to know you don’t have to do this alone. I’m honored to walk alongside you on your healing journey, one step at a time.

I believe we all hold the capacity to heal within ourselves—sometimes it just takes the right space and support to uncover it. My work is grounded in empathy and curiosity, creating a space to explore the emotions, thoughts, and patterns that shape your experiences. Together, we’ll identify your values, build confidence, and develop coping skills and self-trust that support lasting healing and balance.

As a therapist and former Division I athlete, I understand the desire to grow while carrying life’s many demands. My practice supports individuals of all ages, with a special focus on helping adolescents and young adults navigate transitions, strengthen self-esteem, and develop a clearer sense of self. I’m also passionate about working with athletes as they explore the connection between performance, identity, and mental health, drawing on my own experience with the pressures of striving for excellence—on and off the field, water, or rink. Outside of therapy, I coach high school rowing and find meaning in helping athletes strengthen both body and mind. As a native New Englander, time in nature grounds me, and thru-hiking the Appalachian Trail in 2022 deepened my appreciation for resilience, presence, and the quiet power of taking things one step at a time.

I was born and raised in Kentucky until I moved to Utah in 2019 for school. I am a recent graduate from the University of Utah and have spent the last two years working with adolescents experiencing anxiety, depression, and trauma. I love going to the beach and country concerts, but I often choose to spend my time reading a book.

I hope to provide a supportive and non-judgmental environment where you feel safe to share where you’re at and what you need. Together, we can learn more about your emotions, thoughts, and behaviors, effective coping skills, and building self-esteem. Through the use of a trauma-focused lens, we can learn what works best for you.

I’m excited to see the growth this journey will bring!

I’m a compassionate and nonjudgmental therapist dedicated to creating a collaborative and supportive space where clients can explore their experiences and work toward healing and growth. I work with teens and adults, including seniors, offering individual therapy for anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, life and faith transitions, women’s issues, LGBTQ+ concerns, and other identity-related challenges.

My approach is grounded in empathy, authenticity, and curiosity. I believe therapy is a partnership—one where we work together to uncover strengths, navigate challenges, and foster deeper self-understanding.

Outside of my work, I find renewal in nature, whether it’s hiking a quiet trail or pausing to take in a sunset. I’m also drawn to creative expression and lifelong learning, often spending time playing guitar, writing songs or poetry, and exploring educational series that expand how I see the world.

At times we all find ourselves in situations that we think no one else will understand. It’s easy to self-sabotage and self-criticize when you have no one to talk to. We often find ourselves putting up barriers instead of boundaries and unintentionally blocking those that want to help us. Therapy allows us to self-reflect, feel empowered, and increase our happiness.

I hope to provide an environment where you can feel safe to share your thoughts and feelings. My approach is from the strengths-based perspective. I believe we all have strengths that will allow positivity to come from our experiences. I will help you build skills to overcome negative feelings and emotions so that you can become the version of yourself that you want to be.

As overwhelming as it may feel, take the next step to reach for help. I look forward to hearing from you and working with you to discover a person that is secure, strong, and confident.

Many people come to therapy afraid of being judged, I prioritize making people feel genuinely seen, safe, and heard above all else. I see symptoms as signals to understand rather than flaws to fix. Nothing you share is too intense or shameful. I walk alongside clients through their hardest moments to rebuild self-worth, untangle shame, and nurture hope. Our behaviors are often coping strategies to stay safe or meet our needs.

Much of what we call "just how I am" was learned to help us belong, avoid danger, or be valued. Understanding where those patterns came from makes it possible to choose which ones still serve you, and that gives you more freedom to decide who you want to be. You don't have to carry your story alone, you are more than your worst moment or your hardest story. Therapy is a space to be fully known—without judgment, analysis, or feeling "too much."

Beyond the therapy room, I enrich my life by reading, riding motorcycles, traveling with my husband, spending quality time with my children and grandchildren, attending local festivals and farmers' markets, and enjoying local restaurants with close friends.

If you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or ready for meaningful change, you don't have to navigate it alone. Together, we can explore your inner world experiences, discover your strengths, and build a clearer path toward hope and growth. Specializing in trauma recovery and anxiety management for ages 10 and up, I provide a safe, judgment-free, and supportive space tailored to your unique needs.

Using gentle, proven methods like EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), we will work together to process painful memories, reframe unhelpful patterns, reduce the impact of past stress, and restore your sense of peace and balance.

You deserve a life aligned with your goals and values. Together, we will clarify what matters most to you, overcome challenges, and take real steps toward the personal transformation you desire.

Therapy is one of the best self-care mechanisms one can do. Helping others learn to become self-aware, process feelings, work through trauma, and relationship issues is what I am passionate about. Anxiety, depression, trauma, work burnout, and relationships are my specialties. I have been trained in the marriage counseling to help you acquire the communication, conflict management, and intimacy building skills that will enhance your relationship. EMDR training has prepared me to help you through traumatic memories.

I believe therapy is a safe place for people to share, be honest and grow. Therapy is not always comfortable, will be a challenge and a struggle. Together we will set treatment goals and measure progress along the way to help you transform to being a whole, mentally healthy person. Life is to be lived in full!

Before I became a therapist, I worked in the business world for almost 30 years. During that time I worked with women and men in small groups at church. I decided in 2015 to retire and go back to school to become a professional in working with people. I love my career as a therapist. Outside my career, I love being outdoors hiking or kayaking, soaking in nature’s best.

I am a compassionate mental health therapist specializing in anxiety, depression, couples therapy, and trauma-informed care. Using evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), I help individuals and couples navigate challenges, heal from past experiences, and build healthier patterns for lasting emotional well-being. Therapy takes place in a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients can feel safe, understood, and empowered in their growth journey.

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I am deeply committed to helping individuals navigate the complexities of their mental health and reclaim a sense of peace. My practice focuses on empowering clients to overcome the heavy burdens of depression, anxiety, and the lasting echoes of past trauma. I believe that while these challenges can feel overwhelming, they do not have to define your future. There is nothing more rewarding to me than witnessing the moment a client shifts from feeling "stuck" to making tangible, life-changing progress, and I consider it a true privilege to walk alongside my clients on that journey toward healing.

To provide the highest level of care, I utilize a specialized, evidence-based approach tailored to each individual’s unique needs. I am officially certified in EMDR and IFS. These powerful modalities allow us to go beyond surface-level symptoms and address the root causes of emotional distress. Whether we are processing traumatic memories or exploring the different "parts" of your internal world, my goal is to provide a safe, compassionate space where you can develop the tools and resilience needed for lasting recovery.

Outside of the therapy room, my life is anchored by my own family. I am a husband and a proud father to two daughters, and I cherish the time we spend together. When I’m not in the office, you can usually find me staying active with sports, reading books, or simply enjoying the outdoors with my wife and girls. This personal balance keeps me grounded and fuels my passion for helping other families and individuals find their own path to a healthy, balanced, and fulfilling life.

I am Jessica Louis, a Certified Social Worker and Substance Abuse Counselor with extensive experience supporting individuals and families across diverse settings. I have worked in all levels of substance use treatment, providing care ranging from early intervention to intensive recovery support. My background includes significant experience in crisis intervention, where I have helped clients navigate some of the most challenging and vulnerable moments of their lives with compassion, steadiness, and clinical expertise.

I have also worked closely with children and families involved in the foster care system, offering both individual and family therapy. I understand the complexities of trauma, attachment, and family dynamics, and I approach each situation with sensitivity and respect for every person’s lived experience.

A core value of my practice is meeting clients where they are — both literally and figuratively. Whether through community outreach or in-session therapeutic work, I believe that healing begins with feeling seen, heard, and understood. I recognize that each individual is unique and strive to tailor my approach to uncover personal strengths, foster resilience, and support meaningful growth.

My passion is helping people become the best version of themselves — whatever that may look like for them. Through a strengths-based, client-centered approach, I walk alongside my clients as they navigate life’s challenges and move toward lasting change and empowerment.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor with a deep commitment to helping individuals and navigate life’s most challenging moments. I specialize in relationship issues, domestic violence, substance use, and mental health across the lifespan, with a special interest in supporting older adults through transitions in aging.

My approach is trauma-informed, compassionate, and tailored to meet each client where they are. I draw from a range of evidence-based practices to help clients gain insight, build resilience, and create meaningful change in their lives. Outside the therapy room, I’m an avid lover of the outdoors—you’ll often find me hiking, soaking up the sun, or spending time with my loyal dog. I'm also a proud mom to a wonderful son, who keeps me grounded and inspired every day.

Whether you're working through a tough time, seeking healing from the past, or simply want to improve your relationships and well-being, I’m here to walk alongside you.

Life is full of transitions. Some are expected, while others are sudden, and navigating them can be overwhelming. Whether you're facing a faith shift, gender transition, relationship change, grief, or end-of-life concerns, therapy can offer grounding and support.

As a Certified Social Worker (CSW) with a background in psychology and gerontology, I bring years of experience in dementia care, hospice, and dementia education. This foundation shapes my compassionate, person-centered approach to change and loss. I specialize in working with the LGBTQIA+ community, individuals experiencing faith transitions, grief, addiction recovery, and other personal traumas. I integrate evidence-based approaches such as DBT, CBT, ACT, EMDR, and Motivational Interviewing to help you build insight, resilience, and coping tools.

Together, we’ll increase your self-awareness and self-determination, helping you cultivate balance, deepen relationships, and move through life’s transitions with clarity and confidence.

I have been a licensed clinical social worker and substance use counselor for nearly 15 years, with a career dedicated to helping people through transitions, loss, and personal change. As a person in long-term recovery myself, I bring both clinical expertise and lived experience to my work, allowing me to connect with authenticity and empathy.

In my work with older adults, I focus on supporting emotional health around grief, depression, anxiety, and the challenges of aging. My approach is warm, calm, and collaborative, drawing on evidence-based methods such as cognitive-behavioral strategies, solution-focused therapy, and mindfulness practices. I emphasize conversation, reflection, and practical coping skills that honor the wisdom of each individual while helping them find comfort, connection, and dignity in later life. I’m married and the proud dad of two young children who keep life fun and full of surprises. I’m originally from Wisconsin, with roots in Green Bay (yes—cheese and the Packers are part of my DNA).Our family also includes three large, goofy dogs who add plenty of laughter and chaos to our home

Life presents both incredible moments and significant challenges. I consider it a privilege to support clients navigating their journey’s trials and triumphs. A supportive ally is empowering, whether you face depression, anxiety, grief, or other difficulties. Having benefited from support myself, I’m committed to being a supportive helper for others. My client-focused approach uses various strategies to improve thinking and emotional regulation. I gently guide you to explore past experiences and draw lessons from earlier traumas. My positive, cheerful philosophy is rooted in a strong belief in people’s power to conquer challenges.

With 30+ years as a PT and several years as a professional counselor (sex offender treatment), I bring extensive experience. This is complemented by a wealth of experience, including raising six kids and fostering over 36. My specialties include but are not limited to: Depression, Relationship Issues, Grief, Veterans Issues, and Abuse/Trauma. One of the greatest joys of being a counselor is listening to and understanding the unique story of another person’s life. With deep care and appreciation for who you are, I will help you explore both your victories and setbacks, guiding you forward toward greater health and well-being. I genuinely look forward to the opportunity to meet and assist you!
