Hello my name is Liliana Roney and I am a LCSW, but more importantly I am a friend. My passion for this field work came after experiencing some really difficult experiences in my life. Finding the right types of treatments such as EMDR, Brain Spotting, Internal Family System and other body work therapies was vital to my physical and emotional healing. As I have learned to incorporate these modalities into my practice I am seeing people find hope again, feel different about their lives perspectives but most important they are graduating from therapy. I look forward to our journey together and your new life after Utah Lakes.
Hi, my name is Jeremy. I practice psychotherapy as a clinical mental health counselor. I have a wide-ranging background in this field, working with most mental health concerns. It is important to take into account all aspects of a person, be they within the mind, the body, or socially. I have learned that relationship and connection are both highly important in healing. As seeing everyone as an individual, I like to meet people where they are at. I have been trained and have experience in a variety of modalities, such as psychodynamic psychotherapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Substance Use Disorder treatments, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and more. I believe people can heal and grow with the right conditions, and hope we can work towards that together.

Hello, I’m Brynn, and I’m so happy you found me. I know you may feel like you’re ready to commit to giving therapy a try. But perhaps there is some fear as well. Maybe you’ve had a bad experience with therapy in the past. Or maybe you were raised to think negatively about seeking mental health help. I would love the opportunity to get to know you and make you feel heard. My goal is to help those I work with feel empowered and hopeful. To do that we may use EMDR, and other ways to help connect those parts of you that may feel disconnected. So let’s talk through some of the things you’ve been feeling and come up with a plan together.
I specialize in working with adults and adolescents. I am trained in EMDR and working towards certification. I have also utilized modalities such as CBT and DBT in practice. I have experience working in crisis situations, with PTSD, ASD, survivors of sexual assault, and domestic violence.
I believe all people have value and deserve to be respected. I find it important to get to know my clients’ needs as well as their strengths. Beginning therapy can be scary, but the first step is the hardest. Let’s schedule a chat. If calling is intimidating then please send our office an email or text instead.

I hail from Southern California and have called Utah home for over 23 years. As an Associate Clinical Mental Health Counselor (ACMHC), I am passionate about walking alongside children, adolescents, and adults of all ages on their journey toward healing and growth.
I primarily draw from evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). No matter the technique, my priority is to create a safe, compassionate space where you feel truly heard, validated, and supported.
My clinical experience includes working in the Utah State Prison’s Substance Abuse Program, where I gained deep insight into the resilience of the human spirit even in the face of significant challenges.
I believe there is an urgent need for empathetic, effective mental health care—and I pursued this path because I deeply believe in every person’s capacity to grow, heal, and thrive. My role is to help you uncover your inner strength, navigate life’s difficulties, and move toward the peace and fulfillment you deserve.
Hi, I’m Christy, and I’m so glad you’re here. As a clinical social work intern, I believe that healing begins with connection, understanding, and compassion. My passion for this field comes from years of walking alongside individuals and families navigating crisis, loss, and trauma. I’ve spent over a decade working in victim advocacy and law enforcement, helping people find safety, stability, and hope during some of life’s hardest moments.
In my clinical work, I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can feel seen and supported as you explore your goals and challenges. I have a special interest in working with first responders, military personnel, and their families, understanding the unique stressors and sacrifices that come with those roles. My approach to therapy is trauma-informed and strengths-based, integrating evidence-based techniques that meet you where you are. I am currently working toward certification in Brainspotting, a powerful modality that helps individuals process and heal from deeply rooted emotional experiences.
My goal is to help you rediscover your resilience, develop meaningful coping skills, and build a life that feels more balanced and fulfilling. I believe that everyone has the ability to heal, and I would be honored to be part of your journey toward growth and empowerment.
Hi, my name is Marquita, and I am so glad that you found your way here. Therapy is challenging and takes courage, but the transformation that can come from it is absolutely worth it. I became a therapist because I believe true healing begins when we’re deeply seen and understood—and that’s what I’m committed to offering you each time we meet
I show up in the therapy room with empathy, cultural awareness, and a deep respect for each person’s story. I grew up being very different than the culture around me and am still navigating those challenges as I raise my family here in Utah. I’ve worked for many years in this community and have navigated my own mental health journey, which has led me to this important work and continues to shape how I show up for others. I believe that the strengths I have gained from my own lived experiences greatly add to my clinical training as an intern therapist.
I take a warm, collaborative, and trauma-informed approach when working with clients. I am trained in Brainspotting, a technique that helps untangle emotional overwhelm and past experiences that may be affecting how you feel day-to-day, and I can incorporate this into our work together. Do you ever feel confused, overwhelmed, exhausted, hypervigilant, worried, or just stuck? Together we’ll explore what your mind and body are trying to tell you and help you move toward healing and wholeness.
I appreciate and welcome all identities and experiences. You’re not too much, too broken, or too complicated. You’re human, and I can’t wait to work with you!

Hi, I’m Aaron! I’m an intern Clinical Mental Health Counselor with over five years of experience working in the mental health field. I began my career at an adolescent residential facility, where I worked with teens navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, and substance use. After completing a Substance Use Disorder Counseling Certificate at Utah Valley University, I transitioned to working with adults from all walks of life in a residential rehab setting, focusing on mental health, substance use, and trauma.
I earned my bachelor’s degree from Utah Valley University and have completed all coursework for my master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Grand Canyon University. My passion lies in holistic healing—helping clients address not only their mental health but also their physical health, relationships, and overall well-being. I often integrate trauma-focused approaches like Brainspotting with DBT, guiding clients to understand the roots of their struggles and build the tools needed to live fully and authentically.
I’ve witnessed profound healing in both my personal and professional life, and I deeply believe that everyone deserves the chance to create the life they’ve always dreamed of.
