My name is Anthony Hughes. I am an AAMFT approved supervisor in the state of Utah with a Ph.D. from Brigham Young University. I am a Certified Sex Therapist through the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors and Therapists (AASECT). I have experience treating issues of sexual desire, arousal, orgasm, pain, satisfaction, addiction/out-of-control sexual behavior. My belief is that clinicians are at their best or doing their best therapy when they utilize the "self" in the therapy room and integrate this with knowledge and skill. In this way we become the most healing and helpful versions of ourselves. My approach to treating any presenting problem is to form a strong relationship with those I'm working with. I work to understand those things limiting the sexual relationship or sexuality in general and how these interface with strengths and resources. I will work to gain an understanding of the narrative that the individuals, couple, and society has and what each person does with these. I do a great amount of work being on the journey of people finding what their soul really wants and nurturing these while getting rid of those things that the soul has been unwittingly nourishing so that they can become what is congruent with the deep yearnings and desires of the soul. The therapeutic methods I have experience with are Sexual Attentiveness and Accountability Model (SAAM), Spiritual Organic Authentic Relational (SOAR) Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Gottman Method. I chose to become a counselor because I wanted to help couples in a way that would fundamentally alter their life satisfaction and marital satisfaction.

My name is Andrea Parady.  I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in the state of Utah.  I have a master’s degree in marriage and family therapy from Brigham Young University. I have been trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and love helping clients work through their trauma and anxiety using that approach.  I have experience treating issues of sexual desire, arousal, orgasm, pain, satisfaction, addiction/out of control sexual behavior, sexual trauma/abuse, childhood trauma, and betrayal trauma.  My approach to treating almost every presenting problem is to first build a strong bond and trust with the clients I am working with, while gathering important information about their life, struggles, and strengths.  Having a strong relationship between therapist and clients is crucial to successful therapy.One of the things I love most about being a therapist is seeing clients overcome struggles and hardships that have felt overwhelming at times, to see the hope and healing come into their lives.  I believe that clients can overcome past trauma to create safe, happy, sexual, and romantic relationships. The therapeutic methods I work most often with are Sexual Attentiveness and Accountability Model (SAAM), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Gottman Method.  I became a therapist because I saw firsthand the damage that untreated trauma and mental health problems can cause on individuals, couples, and families.  I want to help people find healing and happiness.

My name is Kate Handy. I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in the state of Utah. I have a masters degree in marriage and family therapy from Brigham Young University. I specialize in treating difficulties in sexual satisfaction, desire, arousal, orgasm, trauma and out-of-control/unwanted sexual behavior. The therapeutic methods I most often use are Sexual Attentiveness and Accountability Model (SAAM), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).  I love to form connected relationships with my clients to explore and discover solutions to difficulties that have been hurting their lives. I believe that a key component of the therapeutic relationship is for the therapist to respect and understand each client and respond to them with honesty and authenticity. I see goodness and something to be admired in everyone I work with. I feel that when I really understand those I work with I am often in awe of people's resilience. My belief that all people ultimately want to do and be good to themselves and others plays a large role in my life and in the therapy that I do. I love to be a therapist because I love to see people grow and discover new ways of living that bring joy, peace, healing and connection to their lives.

I approach each client as unique, and I tailor therapy to needs and strengths. I have found (and research supports) that having a strong relationship with clients is the most important factor in how successful therapy is, so I prioritize listening, being present, and making sure you feel connected. My favorite thing about being a therapist is witnessing clients have new experiences that shift the way they see themselves and their relationships. I believe that it is important to find acceptance for the difficult things in life, and I also believe that it is possible to thrive and find joy through healing and connection.  I see clients located in Utah and Texas through teletherapy.

Hello, I'm Rochelle Maki (LAMFT). I received a Master of Science in Marriage and Family Therapy from Utah Valley University and love working with individuals, couples, families, and running group therapy. I understand that, for some, therapy may seem scary. Therapy is a space to learn more about yourself, your relationships, and how your life experiences impact you. You can go to therapy without having a major life problem with the intention of growth, remaining productive, and to talk to a neutral party. I'd love to support you anyway I can!

One of the most important factors in a successful therapeutic experience is the relationship between therapist and client. I have experience working with LBGTQ+ populations, addicts in recovery, those who have anxiety, depression, mothers with postpartum depression, sexual trauma, couples with sexual intimacy issues, affairs, and more. Sex therapy is something I am passionate about and is a language that sometimes people need help understanding for themselves or for the benefit of communicating their sexual needs to their partner. You are more than a diagnosis and I would be honored to accept who you are authentically and to help you find greater happiness and meaning.

Outside of work, I love spending time with my family and friends (bonus points if it's somewhere on a beach). I also love exploring cultural food, gaming (more bonus points if you're a PC gamer), being outdoors, and am passionate for music. I am currently located in Indianapolis, Indiana and only see clients via teletherapy.

Hi! I am Auriane Davis. I am a Master's of Social Work intern that works with individuals, couples, and families. I have recently received my CSW License. I have a passion for sexual health and pleasure. I have experience working with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, self-harm, suicidal thoughts, difficult family dynamics, and relationship strain. I am also grief certified and like helping clients experiencing grief, namely disenfranchised grief.  I believe in being a teammate when I work with clients, building confidence and hope for clients. The approaches I use include individual history, biology, education, and psychology to help clients find success as part of walking the path of health and healing. 

Hi, I’m Zak Hazlett. I am a Marriage and Family Therapist that studied at Brigham Young University. I have a passion for people and helping them to find joy and satisfaction in the many different aspects of life. I believe that our minds and bodies are incredibly powerful, and when understood more fully—are the vessels through which we experience the most joy. I work with individuals and couples and believe that therapy should be a place where we can laugh and cry together as we work through the ups and downs of life. My goal in couple’s therapy is to help gain a better understanding of the patterns that have been created within relationships and work towards greater connection. I believe that connection comes as we experience emotions together and is crucial to a healthy emotional and sexual relationship. Often, we struggle to share those emotions (positive or negative) with our partner, making it difficult to fully connect. I focus on helping couples to be more open, vulnerable, and connected to one another and love to see the growth that happens in all aspects of their lives as they work toward their goals. When I am not working with y’all as a therapist, I love spending time with my family and friends hiking, biking, running, playing sports, and doing just about anything outside. On the weekends I run an outdoor retreat business called “Get Outside Together” that is focused on helping couples and families to get away from the distractions of life and re-connect in a fun and organic way. My research is centered around how outdoor recreation as a family and couple impacts togetherness. I have presented at conferences around the country on my findings and love to help people, indoors and outdoors, to really connect on every possible level.

My name is Richard Reynolds (LMFT).  I love working with individuals and couples. I bring hope, humor, and compassion into therapy. I believe deeply in our inherent strength and resilience as human beings.  The thing I love most about being a therapist is having a front-row seat to witness people's goodness, strength, and resilience in the face of adversity and challenges. I have experience treating trauma, anxiety, depression, low sexual desire, relationship problems, unwanted pornography use, and out-of-control sexual behaviors.  I believe that people are fundamentally good and worthy and that virtually all of our "dysfunctions" are a result of our adaptation to adverse/traumatic experiences.  This belief allows me to take an open, compassionate, and non-judgmental approach to therapy.   I also believe that a safe, connected, and meaningful relationship between myself and my clients is what allows for healing to occur.   I have a B.S. in Psychology from BYU and an M.A. in Marriage & Family Therapy from Northcentral University and have received training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT).  When I'm not seeing clients I enjoy spending time with my wife and two children, playing guitar, getting out into nature, working on cars, making videos, and listening to audiobooks.

My name is Hannah Grundvig. I received my Masters from Texas Tech University in Couple, Marriage and Family Therapy, and I am currently an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist working towards full licensure. I mainly use Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) in my practice, but integrate other modalities to best fit each individual or couple. Individuals and couples often know what will best help them; I'm just a guide to help you identify what works best for you. Most of all, therapy is unique to each person, and I want to meet you where you are at to provide you what is most needed. I believe anyone can benefit from therapy, whether it is a check in for a small problem or a need for change in a stressful and overwhelming life. I have experience treating couples dealing with betrayal from pornography, couples struggling with communication concerns, and individuals with sexual trauma, anxiety and/or depression. 

My name is Makayla Cammack.  I have my masters in Marriage and Family Therapy from UVU.

I am also passionate about the unique intersection of the LDS and LGBTQ+ community. I enjoy working with individuals, couples, and families. In my free time I enjoy going on roadtrips to the Pacific Northwest to see family, camping with my husband, and thrift-shopping.
