A Note From Josh
Before We Start,A Few Things.

Dear future client,

If you're reading this, you're probably on the fence about therapy. Maybe someone told you to try it, maybe you've tried before and it didn't work, or maybe you just know something needs to change but you're not sure this is the answer.

I want to be straight with you: therapy isn't magic, and I'm not going to pretend it is. What I can tell you is that the work we do here is structured, evidence-based, and designed to get you somewhere — not keep you coming back forever.

I've been doing this for over a decade. I've worked with people who were skeptical, people who were desperate, and everything in between. The common thread is that they showed up. That's all I ask.

If you have questions, ask them. If you're not sure, that's fine — book a free 15-minute call and we'll figure it out together. No pitch, no pressure.

— Josh

What to Expect
Therapy ThatRespects Your Time.

Here's what makes working with me different from what you might have experienced before.

Structured Sessions

Every session has an agenda. We'll start by checking in on your progress, work on the day's focus, and end with clear next steps.

Evidence-Based Methods

I use CBT, ACT, and solution-focused therapy because decades of research show they work. You'll always know what technique we're using and why.

Measurable Progress

We set concrete goals early and track them. You'll never wonder if therapy is 'working' — we'll have data.

Direct Communication

I'll tell you what I see, challenge you when needed, and celebrate real wins. No nodding along or asking 'and how does that make you feel?'

Between-Session Support

You'll get session notes, action items, and brief check-ins between appointments. Growth happens between sessions, not just during them.

A Clear End Point

Therapy isn't forever. We work toward specific goals, and when you've built the skills you need, we wrap up. Average: 8-16 sessions.

My Approach
Methods ThatActually Work.

I don't use one-size-fits-all therapy. Your treatment plan is built around methods with real evidence behind them — tailored to what you're dealing with.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Identifies and restructures negative thought patterns. The most studied therapy method in existence — and the backbone of my practice.

Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Builds psychological flexibility. Instead of fighting your thoughts, you learn to hold them differently and take action aligned with your values.

Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT)

Focuses on solutions rather than problems. We identify what's already working and build from there — often producing faster results.

Mindfulness-Based Approaches

Evidence-based mindfulness techniques integrated into sessions. Not meditation for meditation's sake — practical tools for managing stress and anxiety.

Motivational Interviewing

For clients who feel ambivalent about change. A collaborative approach that helps you find your own motivation and commitment.

EMDR (Level I)

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing for trauma processing. Available for clients where traditional talk therapy alone isn't enough.

What I Offer
Services ThatMeet You Where You Are.

Every service is grounded in evidence-based methods. But more importantly, every service starts with listening to what you actually need.

How It Works
Your PathForward.

Therapy with me follows a clear process. You'll always know where you are and where we're headed.

01
Free Consultation

A 15-minute call. You share what's going on, I share how I work. We decide together if it's a good fit. No pressure.

02
First Session

We go deep. Your history, what's happening now, what you want to change. I start building a picture of what's going on.

03
The Plan

By session 2-3, you'll have a clear plan: what we're working on, which methods we'll use, how we'll know it's working.

04
The Real Work

Weekly or biweekly sessions. Every session has a purpose. You'll get tools to practice between sessions — because growth happens outside my office too.

05
Check & Adjust

Regular progress check-ins. We adjust the plan as needed. Therapy should evolve as you do.

06
Moving On

When you've hit your goals and built the skills you need, we wrap up. My goal is to make myself unnecessary.

FAQ
CommonQuestions.

Here's what most people ask before getting started.

Get In Touch
What's the first session like?
+
The first session is about getting a clear picture of what's going on for you. We'll talk about what brought you in, what you've tried before, and what you're hoping to get out of therapy.
How long does therapy usually take?
+
Many clients see meaningful progress in 8–12 sessions. Others prefer to continue longer. We'll set clear goals early so you always know where we're headed.
What makes your approach different?
+
Every session has a purpose. I use evidence-based methods (CBT, ACT, SFT) because they actually work — and I'll tell you what we're doing and why.
Do you offer telehealth?
+
Yes. I offer both in-person sessions in Utah and telehealth available statewide. Many clients find telehealth just as effective — and more convenient.
What if I've had bad experiences with therapy before?
+
That's probably the most common thing I hear. My approach is specifically designed to be different — structured, direct, and goal-oriented.
