Trina Jones Artis, LCSW — Therapist in Utah

Hi there, I'm Trina!

I find added value in human connection during challenging times in life, and believe that a therapeutic lens can add to the support of each client.

My focus

Areas of client focus are stress, anxiety, depression, coping with grief and loss, LGBTQIA+ related issues, military and veterans' issues, and life adjustment with loss of motivation, self-esteem, and confidence.

My approach

My approach is client-centered and solution-focused. I will meet each client with empathy, open-mindedness, and unconditional positive regard. I believe in working collaboratively with each client to identify challenge areas and to prioritize their healing goals in ways that work with the reality of everyday life.

My communication style

Taking the first step the seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in the process of living a life more in alignment with your values and how you see your best self.

My journey to mental healthcare

Therapy has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I've had experiences with excellent therapists and some who didn't match my needs. I developed a desire to be that therapist who shows up and reminds clients there is always a choice and many therapeutic options available.

My goals for you

Assisting a client with a vision for the future and working backward from there to today. We can now begin to build a set of long-range and short-range goals to accomplish the desired outcome.

Our first session

Expect to have a dedicated space and time to share what your goals are for therapy. A time to state what has worked and not worked for you in the past. Time to discuss where you would like to see yourself once our sessions are complete.
