Pronouns: He/Him/His

CSW

I am frequently in awe of the human capacity for healing and change, as well as the complexity of human thinking and emotion. I care deeply about helping people learn to change their lives by gaining skills in examining their own thought processes, communicating emotions, and moving in a valued direction. My approach is one I would describe as eclectic but overall person-centered, I believe that each person is a unique individual with unique needs, requiring an individualized approach. I will work with you to find the tools and techniques that best fit your needs, personality, current situation, and your life experiences. If you are finding difficulty or pain in life let's sit together and join forces in facing it. I look forward to building a therapeutic partnership with you.

My goal as a therapist is to give you a safe place to land, no matter where life has taken  you or what you have endured thus far. I believe in providing you a place to express how you truly feel, and helping you through whatever you are experiencing, whether it’s depression, anxiety, trauma, or any other mental health symptoms or situations. I believe our mental health is connected by relationships with those around us, as well as our physical health and daily habits. I want to hold space for you to be yourself and be comfortable working on your mental health. At the same time, I encourage you to acknowledge progress, and acknowledge difficult/uncomfortable emotions you might avoid otherwise. We will set the goals YOU want, so that you can live life the way you want to. 

I have spent much of my adult life working with older adults, as well as adults and kids with disabilities, but have also found a love of working with persons of all ages and walks of life since starting my career as a therapist. I graduated with my Bachelors in Social Work in 2019 and graduated the following year in 2020 with my Masters in Social Work, both from Utah State University. Since that time, I have been working with Kids, Teens, and Adults of all ages and have been utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma- Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Play Therapy (mainly for young children), and other creative interventions to assist clients in achieving their goals. I am excited to help you grow and become the person you want to be.

We all experience difficulties and challenges in our lives that cause us to become stuck. Oftentimes we need some extra help to overcome these times when we feel we have come to a
halt or our vision of a bright future has become blurred. Sometimes you don’t know how to pull yourself up from getting unstuck or have tried the same unsuccessful solution over and again. I
can help you find the strengths you need and learn new tools to give you more clarity to live a joyful life again. My motto is, “be the best you can be and be it forever.” I am here to help you
grow and be your best.

​A word for athletes! You are heard. I know the difficulties and challenges that come with being an athlete balancing the demands of your sport, schooling, social life, and sometimes working. You may tell yourself the message that “I’m weak” if i’m struggling with anxiety or depression. My message to you is you aren’t weak, you are simply human. Having been a student athlete myself I have a greater understanding of where you are coming from. I am here to help give you the tools to find balance in your life and be the best you can be. We can create a great team together.

LCSW

You are a  partner, parent, sibling and someone's child. You are also expected to be a provider, a protector, and caregiver even if you feel inadequate in these roles. How do you do everything for everyone else when you already feel overwhelmed on a daily basis? How do you live up to today's impossible standards of perfection when you question your own self-worth? How do you balance work and family and still have your own needs met? How do you even know what your own needs are?

​

With my kind and caring approach, you will learn how to connect with others without feeling drained. Whether in your parenting role, or romantic relationships, you will feel okay about taking time for yourself and developing your own hobbies and talents. We will strengthen your voice in your life, career, and relationships.

​

You will feel heard and understood.

​

You deserve to experience happiness in the many roles you are responsible to fulfill. We've all been in a place of not knowing how to balance parenting, relationships, community, and work responsibilities. Your needs matter too, so let's create your enjoyable, fulfilling life. I'm accepting clients now so call today and we can get started.

ALLIE LEEZER

Pronouns: She/Her/Hers

MSW Intern

Are feelings of depression and anxiety keeping you frozen in place?  Do you feel like you have tried everything and need help finding a way to move forward?  Perhaps you are struggling to find inner peace. Do you need to build coping skills and want to have healthy relationships? Maybe you are struggling or even avoiding finding meaningful relationships.  Perhaps past traumas or life experiences feel too heavy to continue to bear alone. Please know that you aren’t alone in these struggles and there is help available.  We all need support as we move through our lives.

My experience is in working with families, trauma, and utilizing experiential therapies to get you to the place you want to be.  I have had the privilege of a diverse background that has leant me a unique perspective on cultural and social differences.  I use a trauma informed approach while allowing you to guide your therapeutic experience.

CSW

My treatment approach is to meet you where you are at. From there, we will explore the different possibilities that can be identified through the helping process. I believe that the therapeutic bond between client and therapist is an essential component of treatment. Creating an individualized action plan, that is responsive to your needs, we can work towards reaching your goals. I believe that each individual has unique lived experiences, and each individual is
worthy of respect, safety, and wellness.

ROBIN HUNT

Pronouns: She/Her/Hers

​

LCSW

Life can be challenging when you feel uncomfortable in your own skin or unsafe in the world. Maybe you can't pinpoint why, or you have a sense of feeling unsettled that stops you from fully enjoying your life. Do you struggle with feeling comfortable in your body or find you are constantly on edge? Maybe you can’t get thoughts about the past out of your head or struggle to concentrate on simple tasks. Perhaps you avoid intimate relationships or constantly fear being left alone. If you have experienced a stressful or traumatic event and want help moving forward, I want you to know that you aren’t alone and there is help available. These experiences don't have to hold you back any longer. 

Together, we will create a plan and implement new skills to move you forward. We will find your motivation to continue the journey, so you can fully enjoy the life you have and find peace and acceptance. I always use a collaborative, supportive approach. You will feel safe and comfortable in our work together.

ASHLEY GEARY

Pronouns: She/Her/Hers

LCSW

 I enjoy working with you and coming up with solutions to build self-esteem and self-confidence. Having a solid base of who your are and what you stand for is really important to manage anxiety, depression, and other mental health concerns.  If you have the skills needed to be confident in yourself, you don't need to find validation from others to build you up.  I don't believe any person is 'broken' and many clients I have worked with quickly find solutions to rebuild their world from hurt and stress.

My main approach to therapy is to allow you to manage your own treatment.  I feel like I am here as a guide and can help work through stress, borderline personality disorder, women's issues, anxiety, depression, and many other facets of treatment; but I like to let the client remain in charge and seek out their own success rather than me giving it to them.

We all experience challenges in life that can be difficult and may need additional help. Feelings of anxiety, loss, rejection, sadness, guilt, and pain are normal, but they can get in our way of true happiness. We are all trying to navigate through life the best we can, but sometimes we feel lost and it can feel impossible to find your path. This is where I can help.

​

I specialize in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and EMDR. We will create a plan together to help achieve your goals. The best views come through the hardest climbs.

Life throws an immense amount of unknowns which can be overwhelming and seem too daunting to face. You do not have to face personal battles or struggles alone! I believe strongly in empowering my client. I affirm that all clients have power within themselves that is waiting to be accessed. I do not lend you power in therapy rather, I help you find your own power to accomplish your goals. I will be understanding and nonjudgmental throughout our sessions. I particularly enjoy working with adolescents and young adults. Together, we will help you find your inner peace and joy in life again. I utilize CBT, DBT, Solution-Focused, and TF-CBT techniques.

KATIE HEINSOHN

Pronouns: She/Her/Hers

SSW, MSW Intern

We all experience trying to find our purpose, self-acceptance, and identity. At times we feel loneliness, isolation, confusion, and a sense of hopelessness.  These types of emotions can weigh heavily on our mental health and stop us from being the best version of ourselves and keep us from following our bliss.  You are not alone in these thoughts and feelings, and you do not have to take this journey on your own.   

​

My experience for the past several years has been working with children, teens, young adults, and families. I believe in positive communication, building trust and working as a team to help you meet your goals. Your voice will be heard, and I will work with you to create a safe and empowering place where we can take your journey of self-acceptance together.

My life experiences have taught me to be open-minded, empathetic, non-judgmental, patient, and flexible. I use a trauma informed, strength-based approach, along with supporting interventions such as, EMDR, DBT and CBT. I feel confident that by working together, we can help you feel more empowered, find your self-confidence, and become the person you want to be. 

PAMELA MAJOR

Pronouns: She/Her/Hers

MSW Intern

Interpersonal relationships are often what brings purpose and meaning to life, and they can also be sources of pain and dissatisfaction. Sometimes the pain can come from being disconnected and not experiencing the joy that satisfying relationships can bring. Other times pain can come from relational conflict or other barriers like trauma, communication problems, loss, and life changes. Experiencing that lack of connectedness with others can feel depressing, isolating, and difficult to navigate. I am here to help you build new, meaningful connections, strengthen current relationships, and/or let go of unhealthy relationships.

You can expect from me a warm and caring approach where I provide an evidence-based process with empirically supported interventions like CBT and EMDR to assist our work together. I believe therapy is a teamwork process; your input on what is helping, or not helping, will be invaluable to your healing and progress. I prefer to give weekly assignments, but only if you feel comfortable completing them. Together, I feel confident we can help you feel more connected and experience the joy meaningful relationships can bring.

ADDISON ODUM

Pronouns: She/Her/Hers

MAT, MSW Intern

There are an infinite number of variables that shape our experiences, how we interact with those around us, and ultimately who we are and how we behave in the present moment. Given that life is both joy and suffering, no problem is too trivial, nor too big, to be addressed.

Do you find yourself ruminating on the past or future? Do you struggle to find motivation for things you used to, or long to enjoy? Are you blanketed with anxiety, have a hard time maintaining healthy relationships, or feel unhappy in your body? Perhaps you know or have a feeling that a stressful or traumatic event is keeping you from moving forward. Within the context of our history, society, biology, and thought patterns, we can learn ways to cultivate joy and navigate our suffering. 

Whether you are looking to therapy as a way to maintain your wellbeing, or whether you are seeking counseling to find a better way of being, we can work together to develop the tools and support that will help you along your way. Using a collaborative, if at times eccentric, approach to therapy, I will do my best to establish a safe and trusting space in our work together.

Asking for help or admitting that you need help is one of the hardest things that a person can do.  It really shouldn’t be as hard as it is to tell someone that we are struggling.  If I can make it easier for you to talk about the things that are bothering you and keeping you from being the person that you want to be, that is my goal.  We all have strengths and weaknesses; sometimes we focus too much on those weaknesses and negatives.  Using a strengths based approach, together, we can focus on finding solutions to those things that are holding you back.  In the world we live in today, do you know who could benefit from therapy?  Everyone, everyone could benefit from therapy.  We live in a crazy, scary world.  Don’t let your fears, negative thoughts, depression, anxiety, or anything else get in your way.  Be brave.  Together we can do this.

​

Using a generalist approach, we will find what works best for you and your situation.  Pulling from CBT, DBT, mindfulness, solution focused, and many other approaches I am confident we can find a way to help you get back on track.  I have experience working with children, teens, as well as adults.

ALLYSE “ALLY” NELSON

Pronouns: She/Her/Hers

​

LCSW

Do these thoughts sound familiar? "I'm not enough" "Everything is too hard" "What if I fail?" "I don't matter". The first thing you need to know is that you are not alone in these thoughts. The second thing you need to know is that your brain is being rude. Not cool, brain. 

My passion and purpose is to help people who struggle with anxiety (perfectionism, shame, self doubt, etc.) to develop healthy coping skills and new thought patterns so they can feel calm, confident, and capable. Maybe these old patterns served a purpose at one time, but the fact that you’re here today tells me that you don’t need them anymore! I want to empower you through self care, self compassion, and lots of self love to connect back to your worth. 

You are the expert on you. My job is to help you tap into that expertise. I do this by offering skills from Mindfulness, CBT, REBT, and additional approaches based on your needs. If you come to therapy with a willingness to be vulnerable and an open mind, you will experience peace and healing. Maybe your brain will even start being cool to you? It’s obvious to me how incredibly capable you are. Throughout the process of this mental health work, I think you’ll come to a similar conclusion: You got this. But I’m here for the times that you need an extra reminder.

Are there trials that have impacted your life or the life of those you care about? The good news is you are not alone and that there is help. My name is Mandy Donavan and I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 17 years experience in the field of mental health. Therapy to me is just like renovating a home. There are a number of reasons to renovate like preventative maintenance, minor updates and improvements or clean up and rebuild after a disaster.  I look forward to partnering with you in the worthy endeavor that is self discovery and renovation through therapy.
