Alan Cochrane

Alan Cochrane welcomes new connections with a belief in synchronicity and an appreciation for how people find one another. He is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in the State of Utah with more than 35 years of experience working with diverse populations across a variety of settings. He earned a B.A. in Psychology from the University of California, Irvine and an M.A. in Counseling Psychology with a Transpersonal Specialization from John F. Kennedy University. He also holds certifications in Addiction Studies and Clinical Hypnotherapy.

Now based in Saint George amid the quiet of the Mojave Desert Southwest and the red rock landscapes of Snow Canyon and Zion National Park, he enjoys travel, hiking, and exploring the natural world. Alan describes his role in therapy as that of a guide - accompanying clients as they turn inward to discover their inner truth and bring forth a more authentic self. He emphasizes the importance of courage, strength, and self-compassion in the healing process, and views these qualities as resources that coexist with past wounds.

Alan supports clients in learning to hear and trust their intuition and in cultivating fuller creative expression, both of which he sees as ongoing, lifelong processes. He helps identify existing skills and works to develop areas that feel less effective. His manner is warm and direct without judgment, and he values humor, believing that laughter can be a potent aid in healing. He invites clients to bring hidden parts of themselves into the light as a way to reduce fear and to celebrate growth together. He is licensed to practice in Utah, a credential that signifies his professional training and authorization (license number 116928-6004).
