How to find the right therapist in Utah

When choosing a therapist in Utah, it's best to reflect on what you’re looking for and ask yourself which of the following criteria are most important to you: Do they accept your insurance? Do you need a therapist who specializes in a specific mental health concern such as depression, anxiety, or trauma? Are you looking for someone to work with you individually? Or are you looking for someone to support you as a couple or family? Would you be more comfortable partnering with a therapist of a certain race, gender expression, sexual orientation, religious, or cultural background?

Can I use my insurance?

Yes! Therapists on the Rula platform are in-network with most major insurance plans. Rula patients typically pay $15 per session, although your individual cost may vary based on your insurance benefits and deductible. We’ll work with your insurance to confirm your estimated per-session cost before your first appointment. Ready to get started? Click here to browse available therapists who accept your insurance.

How do I know if therapy is right for me?

There’s no right or wrong reason to start therapy. Whether you’re seeking help navigating a life transition or managing symptoms of anxiety or depression, therapy is an effective treatment for many types of concerns – all you need is an open mind and a general sense of what you’d like to explore with a therapist. Still unsure? Head to our blog to learn more.

What should I consider when choosing a therapist?

It depends on your personal preferences and goals. Whether you’re seeking a therapist who specializes in certain mental health conditions, shares your ethnic background, or is available to meet at your preferred time – Rula makes it easy to search and filter by what matters most to you. If you don’t feel like your first choice was a match, don’t worry – we’ll help you switch to a different therapist in our network. Check out our blog post for more pointers on finding your best-fit therapist.

How do I know if I need therapy or psychiatry?

If you’re experiencing severe symptoms that interfere with your daily functioning, you may want to consider starting with a psychiatric provider who can assess your needs and prescribe medication if deemed necessary. If your symptoms are mild or moderate, therapy may be a better starting point. No matter where you begin your journey – your provider will work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan that’s based on your individual needs and concerns. Still unsure? Visit our blog to learn more about the differences.

I am Erica. I am an EMDR Trauma & Stress and CBT-I therapist dedicated to providing compassionate, culturally humble therapy for adults navigating PTSD, CPTSD, anxiety, insomnia, life transitions, and grief. Together, we will build a partnership to help you reclaim your peace and vitality.

“As someone who experiences CPTSD, working with Erica has given me a renewed outlook on my life circumstances and a deeper understanding of what I’ve experienced. She provides me with stability and structure within our sessions, and helps me frame complex thoughts and interpretations that otherwise leave me exhausted and feeling lost. She has tools and resources that are right on time, and her composure is responsive and gentle, but also assertive and strong when needed. She gives you so many insights that will have you thinking and pondering beyond the session. She cares about the support she provides and checks in regularly and encourages honest feedback. She never makes me feel like I am “too much or intense” or that I have to apologize for how I show up. She accepts me as I am and is present to walk the journey alongside me. I appreciate her intuitive but methodological approach. It took me multiple tries to find the right therapist fit, and I am so glad that I continued looking—because I feel seen, heard and valued in our therapeutic relationship. She is helping to restore my self-belief and self-trust, and moving forward rather than being stuck in the past. I am truly grateful for our partnership.”

Understanding online attachment-based therapy

What is attachment-based therapy, and how does it work?

Attachment-based therapy explores how past trauma affects lifelong emotional bonds and reactions. This therapy is founded on attachment theory, which recognizes that people’s early interactions with their primary caregivers during childhood impact their ability to form healthy relationships as adults.

When trauma occurs, their effects can last into adulthood, causing issues like separation anxiety and low self-esteem. By providing a safe space to examine these connections from your past, attachment-based therapists help you shed light on current relationship challenges. This therapy can help you change unhealthy relationship patterns to build secure, lasting bonds.

Attachment-based therapy may not be the best treatment for your needs. Understanding the process and discussing this treatment method with a mental health professional is important.

Common issues addressed by attachment-based therapy

This therapy can be effective for people experiencing relationship issues, attachment disorders, anxiety, or challenges related to childhood experiences. By understanding one's attachment style and its impact on current relationships, people can work toward developing healthier relationships and improved emotional well-being.

Potential benefits of online attachment-based therapy

Online attachment-based therapy offers the convenience and privacy of engaging in therapy from the comfort of your home. It can be an excellent option for those who feel more at ease exploring personal issues in familiar surroundings. Additionally, the online format provides access to specialized therapists throughout your state, even if they’re not in your local area.

What to expect during an online attachment-based therapy session

During an online attachment-based therapy session, the therapist can work with you to explore your early relationships and how they influence your current emotional and relational patterns. Sessions often involve discussions about past experiences, current relationship dynamics, and strategies for building healthier attachment behaviors. Your therapist should provide a supportive and empathetic space, encouraging self-reflection and growth.

Choosing the right attachment-based therapist

Insurance coverage for therapy varies by therapist and plan. After you've booked your first session, Rula verifies your insurance coverage and follows up with a cost estimate, including any required copayments.

FAQs about online attachment-based therapy

How effective is online attachment-based therapy compared to in-person sessions?

Online attachment-based therapy can be effective, especially when the therapist and client establish a strong, trusting relationship. Many therapists on the Rula platform have experience adapting techniques for online formats. While some may prefer in-person interactions, others find online therapy more convenient and less intimidating, which can help make sessions more effective.

Is attachment-based therapy right for me?

Attachment-based therapy may be suitable for people seeking to understand the impact of their early relationships on their current emotional state and relationships. It can be helpful for those wanting to improve their existing relationships and emotional well-being. A therapist specializing in attachment-based therapy can help determine if this approach fits your needs.

How should I prepare for online attachment-based sessions?

Preparing for online attachment-based therapy involves being ready to explore your relationship patterns and past experiences. Attachment-based therapy explores your early relationships and how they shape your current interactions and feelings. Be open to examining your emotional bonds and discussing personal history. This therapy may bring out deep-seated emotions, but trust that your therapist can provide a supportive and understanding environment.

How long does attachment-based therapy typically last?

The duration of attachment-based therapy varies depending on individual needs and therapy goals. Some people may see improvements in a relatively short period, while others might require longer-term treatment to address deeper relational patterns.

Are there any requirements for participating in online attachment-based therapy?

You'll need a private, quiet space for uninterrupted video sessions, a dependable internet connection, and a device with a working webcam and microphone. You can prepare to engage in discussions about your personal history and current relationships.
