Teri Nielsen, LMHC, LCMHC

Teri Nielsen is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 35 years of clinical experience. She holds LMHC and LCMHC credentials and practices from Utah. Her listed concerns include relationships, family issues, trauma and abuse, anxiety, addiction recovery, parenting stress, and anger among many others.

She has worked in both in-patient and out-patient settings and spent nearly three decades living and working in Seattle before relocating to southern Utah. That background shaped her interest in trauma, PTSD, and complex family dynamics. She notes experience with high-functioning professionals, first responders, healthcare workers, and people who have been in therapy before as well as those new to therapy.

Teri describes an active, direct style in sessions. She uses approaches that focus on attachment, emotions, and patterns of thinking. She also integrates mindfulness practices and experiential work she has taught, including elements from Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction.

She draws on personal life experience as a woman, partner, parent, and meditator. That perspective informs how she talks through issues like grief, infidelity, abandonment, and the strains of blended families. She emphasizes practical attention to thoughts and behaviors that shape daily choices.

Clients who prefer straightforward feedback and a collaborative, problem-focused approach may find her style fits. She asks for honesty and commitment from people ready to face difficult changes.
