Compassionate Counseling for Anxiety, Trauma, and Selective Mutism

Resilience Individual & Family Counseling is a private therapy practice dedicated to helping individuals and families build emotional strength, develop healthier relationships, and find healing through compassionate, evidence-based care. The practice provides counseling for children, teens, and adults who are navigating challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, and self-esteem struggles.

Founded in 2014, the practice was created to meet the need for supportive outpatient counseling for individuals experiencing emotional distress or recovering from crisis. The team is committed to creating a safe and welcoming therapeutic environment where clients feel respected, understood, and empowered to work through life’s challenges. By honoring the vulnerability it takes to seek help, the therapists focus on guiding clients toward meaningful growth, resilience, and lasting change.

Resilience Individual & Family Counseling utilizes a variety of research-supported therapeutic approaches tailored to the unique needs of each client. These approaches include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Trauma-Focused CBT, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), Exposure Therapy, and other behavioral and trauma-informed therapies. The practice also incorporates Gottman principles when working with couples and families to strengthen relationships and communication.

One of the practice’s unique specialties is the treatment of Selective Mutism, a social anxiety disorder that affects children who are able to speak comfortably at home but struggle to speak in certain social environments. Recognizing the lack of local resources for this condition, the practice developed the first specialized program in Utah focused on treating Selective Mutism. In addition to individual therapy sessions, they host an annual intensive outpatient program called Resilience Camp, designed to help children build confidence and develop their “brave voice.”

The team works with clients from diverse backgrounds and strives to provide inclusive, culturally sensitive care. Through personalized treatment and compassionate support, Resilience Individual & Family Counseling helps clients overcome emotional challenges, build self-confidence, and develop the resilience needed to move forward with greater hope and wellbeing.
