How Therapy Can Help

Wells Counseling specializes in something few Utah therapists treat together: perinatal mental health and eating disorders. So often, they're tangled up in the same struggle.

You might be experiencing distressing thoughts about food and your body that won't quiet down, or a road through pregnancy, postpartum, or parenthood that's been harder than you expected. Both (or all) of these experiences can be exhausting and scary. There's a lot of shame baked into parenthood, bodies, and food, which can make it hard to share with the people around you. That's exactly where support like this can help.

I blend research-backed therapy — CBT/CPT, and a HAES & Intuitive Eating-informed approach — with warmth and a little irreverence. I provide a space that’s welcoming and judgment-free. I believe we need to feel acceptance and safety to explore difficult patterns and share vulnerable worries. And with that established, we can get to the real work: defying diet culture, radically accepting your body, being kind to yourself, and find your way in parenthood.

If any of this feels familiar, you don't have to keep carrying it by yourself. I’m here to help!
