Anxiety Therapists in Utah

Anxiety can impact every aspect of life, but effective treatment can help restore balance and confidence. Having personally experienced anxiety throughout my life, I understand how overwhelming it can feel and the importance of feeling truly heard. My approach is compassionate and individualized, combining medication management, education, and therapeutic techniques such as motivational interviewing. Together, we identify your goals, develop coping strategies, and create a treatment plan that supports lasting improvement and a better quality of life.

My name is Nicole Bovigny, PMHNP-BC, a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 22 years of nursing experience. I provide compassionate, judgment-free mental health care for anxiety, depression, ADHD, insomnia, and other concerns through personalized treatment and medication management. Having my own personal experience with mental health challenges, I understand the importance of feeling heard and supported. My goal is to create a safe space where patients feel empowered to heal and thrive. Telehealth appointments available weekdays and weekends, 10 AM–10 PM, with same-day 15-minute free consultations.

When working with patients who have anxiety, I use a calm, non-judgmental tone and focus on making them feel heard and safe. I normalize what they’re experiencing by reminding them that anxiety is common and treatable, and I let them guide the conversation at their own pace. I ask open-ended questions like, “What’s been weighing on you lately?” and “How is this affecting your day-to-day?” I offer reassurance and explore both natural and medical treatment options without pressure. My goal is to help them feel supported, informed, and in control of their care, one step at a time.

DNP, MSN, MBA, AGACNP-BC Hello! My name is Dr. Nichola Patton. I am a doctoral prepared Adult-Geriatric Acute Care NP licensed and board-certified to independently diagnose, treat, and prescribe to patients residing in the following States: AZ, CO, FL, IA, ID, KS, MD, NC, ND, NH, NM, NY, UT, VA, VT, WY.

I approach clients with anxiety by employing evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to their needs. This may involve cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness practices, and collaborative goal-setting. Through open communication, I work with clients to identify triggers, develop coping strategies, and foster a supportive environment to promote their well-being.

As a board certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner, I am experienced in treating people with diagnoses including anxiety, depression, bipolar, trauma related disorders including PTSD, ADHD, insomnia, schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, substance use, and personality disorders. I am passionate about providing an accepting environment where we work together to explore your values, preferences and goals. Options will be shared with you with risks/benefits, you are encouraged to ask questions and have a supportive person present if you choose this. Psychology is something I became interested in high school, but always had natural proclivity towards before I knew it had a name. I'm grateful that I've had the opportunity to turn this into meaningful work. I also enjoy running, hiking, skydiving, snorkeling, traveling and spending time with my friends and family. I welcome you to my practice regardless of sex, gender, sexual orientation, disability, race, ethnicity, religion and political beliefs. I am currently accepting patients ages 18-65 in Utah and Hawaii. Please note I do not currently prescribe controlled substances.

You have to be willing to LISTEN above all else. Reassure them that anxiety is a valid feeling, and then work alongside them to identify early onset triggers and symptoms, and come up with an action plan to mitigate these symptoms.

At the heart of my approach lies an individualized treatment plan created after a comprehensive assessment of your specific anxiety symptoms – ranging from worried thoughts and avoidant behavior to physical symptoms. Equipping you with effective coping mechanisms aligned to your situation is the core of my strategy. My therapy toolbox for managing anxiety encompasses cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness-based techniques, and other targeted interventions. These therapies aim to intercept cycles of repetitive worrying thoughts, empower you to confront anxiety-triggering situations and mitigate relative physical symptoms.
