Depression Therapists in Utah

Do you feel weighed down by trauma, anxiety, OCD, or depression that makes it hard to enjoy life, relationships, or even day-to-day routines? Many people come to counseling hoping to understand their past, regulate emotions, and find relief from patterns that continue to shape their lives. You’re not alone, and healing is possible. Taking the first step can feel intimidating, but it is also a courageous move toward meaningful change. My goal is to help clients feel more grounded, confident, and in control of their lives. I specialize in trauma, anxiety, and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), working with individuals, young adults, couples, and families. Many mental health challenges stem from unprocessed pain rooted in earlier life experiences. Through structured guidance and compassionate support, I help clients uncover root causes, build self-awareness, and develop skills that foster resilience, healthier patterns, and stronger relationships. Therapy is always collaborative and tailored to your goals, circumstances, and strengths. I utilize carefully selected, evidence-based approaches, including Eye-Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy (SFBT), Exposure Response Prevention (ERP), and a value-based approach. My style blends clarity, structure, and practical tools with warmth, collaboration, and deep person-centered care. Whether you’re facing intrusive thoughts, grief, identity concerns, relationship challenges, or life transitions, therapy is about more than coping—it’s about building insight, confidence, and lasting change.

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.

Hello! I'm the sole therapist of my practice, Dahlia Wellness LLC, founded around the belief that true healing and change requires an environment where one is witnessed non-judgmentally for who they really are. I have extensive experience working with individuals who struggle with low self worth, loss of hope, feelings of anxiety, depression, and the short and long impact of traumatic relationships or experiences. I work with individuals who are struggling with self harm or suicidal ideation, and I am affirming of all gender/sexual identifications and expressions.

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.

Are you feeling stuck? Like you want your life to move forward or look a certain way, but you just don’t know how to get there? It’s okay! The feeling of stagnation could be due to lack of motivation, anxiety, depression, grief, loss or low self-esteem. Feeling stuck could also be a result of not understanding your own needs and emotions, or relationship concerns between partners or parents and children. Whatever your concern may be, you will be okay- you just need some guidance! I love connecting with people and facilitating the discovery of healing and empowerment that will lead to living a meaningful life.

You want to feel whole, connected, and strong, but something is getting in the way. I love working with individuals, couples, parents, and families who are seeking growth and connection. When you are feeling hopeless about your challenges, I am here to reignite your hope and help you find the motivation to try again and succeed. I combine my natural compassion and empathy with researched based methods that work. My approach is practical, simple, powerful, and focused on helping you achieve your goals. I am a great listener, and offer clear, achievable advice that will move you forward. In addition to insightful therapy sessions, I will also help you to think about how the fundamentals of physical health, sleep, and diet impact your mental health and relationships. Some of the frameworks I use include: ACT, CBT, DBT, REBT, systems theory, and solution-focused therapy.

I prioritize creating a safe space to explore emotions and experiences while helping clients understand their mind-body connection. We'll work on finding strengths, resilience, and creating a life worth living. I believe in empowering clients with coping strategies and self-awareness, which are essential in their journey towards healing and growth.
