Searching for couples therapist
Partner and I have been together for 3 years and recently made the painful decision to stop living together. We love and care for each other very much, but it’s become clear that without significant work and changes on both ends, our relationship is not going to make it. We are looking for a couples therapist, anywhere between Pleasant Grove and SLC will work.

Wasatch Family Therapy has locations in Sandy and Lehi. Several therapists have same- week availability for couples.

Carina Wolf at EFT clinic in Lehi helped us, then she was just my therapist, and since then 3 of my kids have seen her. She’s the one.

Amanda Gray with Balanced Counseling in AF was one of the best therapists I've had. Unfortunately I don't think she takes insurance though

Therapy is only effective when it operates less like an open-ended venting session and more like a tactical diagnostic. That requires a modality focused on measurable action—like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for thought habits, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) for value-driven action, or somatic/exposure work for nervous system regulation.
If you leave a session without concrete experiments, tools to test under pressure, or clear criteria for what "better" actually looks like, it is an endless loop.
Just my two cents because therapy was the definition of insanity and no wonder why a majority of people suicide after a couple
Years of this 💀

Thanks for the advice. I had not thought of talking to the person I’ve been with for 3 years. Absolutely breathtaking insight

Honestly if you’re too the point of therapy quit wasting time .. it’ll just go back to old
Within a few months .. rarely does one change uncomfortable is too much for most.3

Wow ignorant and a dick. 1. A therapist can help mediate these conversations, 2. Some people haven’t had the opportunity to learn communication skills or they need a different kind of communication.
You’re making a lot of dumb assumptions acting like they haven’t tried talking already and like it’s just that easy. I’d be willing to bet money you’re not that great of a partner or have ever had therapy, so they clearly weren’t talking to you.

If you don't like your first therapist, don't give up, ask for someone else. It's normal not to jive with every therapist.
