Jessica Katz

Jessica Katz, LMHC, LPC, is a mental health counselor with 21 years of experience and is currently based in Utah. Her work spans a wide range of concerns, including anxiety and mood disorders, stress, depression, anger management, ADHD, disordered eating, substance use, grief and loss, and trauma related to childhood experiences and attachment difficulties. She also supports clients navigating marriage and family concerns, including divorce, separation, blended family dynamics, reunification, and parental alienation, and she has experience working with some psychotic disorders and related behaviors.

As a Christian, Jessica approaches therapy by meeting people where they are and emphasizing respect, dignity, humility, and compassion. She integrates several evidence-informed and depth-oriented methods, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), existential therapy, and client-centered work. In plain terms, her style aims to help clients understand patterns, make meaning of their experiences, and build practical coping tools while also attending to the emotional and relational roots of distress.

Jessica views the therapeutic relationship as a collaborative process where guidance may shift over time - sometimes the client leads and sometimes she takes a more active role. She emphasizes patience and self-kindness as skills that support growth, especially when the work feels challenging or unfamiliar. She considers it a privilege to come alongside clients as they develop the capacity to cope with current struggles and prepare for what lies ahead.
