Meadowbrook CounselingEagle Mountain, Utah

Before sharing my professional background, I’d like to share a little about myself beyond my professional role. I enjoy spending time in nature, hiking, traveling, and being with my husband and two adorable parakeets. I have a strong passion for helping others feel supported and find hope and healing. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and am currently pursuing my Master’s of Social Work at the University of West Florida.

A modality I am certified in and enjoy using is Mental Emotional Release (MER). MER is a timeline-based approach that helps identify and release the root of unresolved emotions or negative beliefs. I also incorporate techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, reframing, etc. Using these tools, I work collaboratively with each client to create a plan tailored to their unique needs and preferences.

I have had the opportunity to work with a wide range of individuals–including children, youth, and adults–supporting them in working toward their goals and taking meaningful steps toward healing. Across these roles, I have the most experience helping youth and adults who are encountering anxiety, hopelessness, a sense of not belonging, or are seeking positive change in their lives.

My goal in working with clients is to help them feel heard, empowered, and experience greater happiness. I strive to meet clients where they are at and support them in discovering that change and healing are truly possible.

I’m Allison Peterson, a master’s student at National University, working toward my license in Marriage and Family Therapy. I specialize in Sex Therapy and am passionate about helping individuals and couples navigate intimacy challenges to build stronger, more meaningful connections. My warm sense of humor and deep empathy allow me to create a safe and welcoming space for those seeking solutions, personal growth, and healing.

As someone who has faced my own challenges, I have a heartfelt understanding of the complexities families experience during difficult times. I’m especially passionate about supporting families through these moments, helping them discover resilience and harmony together.

I was born and raised in Utah and have always cherished the beauty of the mountains. I’ve been married for over 21 years and am a proud mom of six amazing kids. I find joy in life’s simple pleasures—whether it’s soaking in the serenity of a quiet stream or embracing the beautiful chaos of my busy household. When I’m not studying or working with clients, you can often find me building projects with my kids (power tools make me feel empowered!) or spending time with our many beloved pets.

My approach to therapy is rooted in genuine connection. I believe in empowering others to live fuller, more authentic lives. Whether you’re navigating personal struggles, relationship challenges, or simply need a supportive space to be heard, I’m here to walk alongside you on your journey to healing and growth.

I am a dedicated and compassionate emerging mental health professional, currently pursuing a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. With a deep-rooted desire to support individuals through life’s challenges, I am committed to fostering emotional well-being and personal growth in those I serve.

My journey into the field of mental health began at the University of Houston, where I earned a Bachelor of Science in Psychology. My undergraduate education provided me with a strong foundation in psychological theory, research methods, and the many factors that influence mental health. It was during this time that I discovered my passion for applying psychological principles in practical, therapeutic settings to help individuals navigate emotional and psychological difficulties.

Now fully immersed in my graduate studies, I am actively building advanced clinical skills and deepening my understanding of evidence-based counseling approaches. I am especially focused on developing meaningful, empathetic therapeutic relationships and tailoring my approach to meet the unique needs of each client. I strive to create a safe, supportive space where healing, growth, and self-discovery can thrive.

As I continue my training, I remain dedicated to becoming a compassionate, skilled, and culturally responsive clinician—someone who empowers others to lead healthier, more fulfilling lives.

Everyone does the best with what they know how to cope. I am here to build upon the best expert of your life; you! I am currently a Doctoral student of Traumatology and work with those that have trauma, addictions, and anyone seeking to better their daily life. I am also a hypnotherapist and a Master Practitioner of Neurolinguistics. I utilize Positive psychology, Solution Focused therapy, IFS and parts work, Sex therapy, and Psychedelic-assisted therapy. I am LGBTQ+ inclusive. I look forward to collaborating a better future with you!

Life can bring unexpected challenges, and navigating them can feel overwhelming. I strive to create a warm, supportive space where children, adolescents, and adults feel heard, understood, and empowered. I have particular expertise supporting neurodivergent clients, especially those with ADHD, helping them understand how their brains work, develop practical strategies, and build self-compassion.

I also work with clients navigating anxiety, depression, panic, grief, relationship challenges, and complex life transitions—including trauma, divorce, role changes, and shifts in belief systems. I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space for exploring difficult topics and cultivating personal growth.

I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Rocky Mountain University of Health Professions and a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and Sociology from Brigham Young University. I bring a down-to-earth, approachable style, believe humor has a place in healing, and enjoy helping clients discover their strengths. I'm passionate about continually learning and staying current in my field and am an active member of the Mormon Mental Health Association, Utah Coalition for Evidence-Based Treatment, Utah Mental Health Counselors Association, and the LGBTQ+-Affirmative Therapists Guild of Utah.

I understand the life-changing value of being seen, heard, and understood. Taking the first step to getting help takes a lot of courage, and I’m proud of you for taking it. I am committed to honoring your journey and keeping our space safe as we figure things out together. I have been a middle school counselor for six years, and I love teenagers. I understand and relate well to them, and together we discover ways to cope and thrive through those challenging adolescent years. 

I decided to become a clinical mental health counselor as well so I can provide more long-term intensive support to a broader range of people, and I'm excited to do that. I have experience working with anxiety, depression, cognitive dissonance, faith transitions, relationship conflict, suicidal ideation, self-harm, vulnerability, LGBTQ issues, trauma, and boundaries.

I am a firm believer in the power of the counseling relationship. I have been there, and I know the difference it can make. I am committed to empowering you, promoting resilience, and fostering lasting change in your life. There is no humanity in perfection - life is about connection and working through things together. You got this. I got you.

Hello, I’m Sky. I’m a Clinical Social Worker (CSW) at Meadowbrook Counseling. I earned my Master’s in Social Work from Utah Valley University, with a focus on clinical social work and mental health. I care deeply about creating a space where you can feel safe, understood, and supported as you navigate whatever you’re going through. I believe healing is not one-size-fits-all. I take a holistic approach, supporting emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual well-being, often incorporating mindfulness into our work together.

I’ve had the opportunity to work in private practice, residential, and intensive outpatient settings, supporting children, teens, and adults through challenges like anxiety, depression, OCD, and trauma. I draw on approaches like motivational interviewing, solution-focused therapy, and trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy. I have experience in sandtray, training in couples therapy, and I also enjoy using creative tools like art therapy and music. More than anything, I focus on building a genuine, trusting relationship and tailoring therapy to fit you—your needs, your pace, and your goals.

I’ve lived in Eagle Mountain for over a decade and really value connection and community. Outside of work, I love listening to audiobooks, watching movies, trying new foods, and traveling. One of my personal goals is to visit all seven wonders of the world. I’ve made it to two so far! I look forward to getting to know you and walking alongside you on your journey toward a more balanced and fulfilling life.
