Alison Murphy, LCSW, LCSW — Therapist in Utah

Hi there, I'm Alison!

If you're feeling weighed down by a difficult life transition, anxiety, or just not feeling like yourself, I'm here to support you. I believe each person has strengths we can focus on to get through even the hardest seasons. Together we will set goals tailored to what you're facing to help you move through this rather than be defined by it.

My focus

I most commonly work with adolescents, young adults, and adults.

My approach

I take a collaborative approach to therapy, drawing on methods such as CBT, narrative therapy, and solution focused work depending on your needs. Through mindfulness, cognitive reframing, and self compassion practices, I support you in making meaning of your life experiences and living in a way that aligns with your values.

My communication style

My style is down to earth and conversational, built on active listening and genuine concern. I create a safe space where you can show up authentically.

My journey to mental healthcare

As someone who was called overly emotional and sensitive growing up, I've since learned that this isn't a bad thing. To live life to its fullest, all emotions deserve to be welcomed and felt. I'm honored to hold space for others to explore challenges and pursue personal growth.

My goals for you

Together we will set goals that reflect what matters most to you. We'll check in regularly on what you're working on and adjust as needed so your goals stay aligned with where you are and where you'd like to be.

Our first session

In our first session, my hope is for us to get to know one another. Together, we will explore what brings you to therapy and begin to set goals for your care. Come as you are!
