Amy Smith: Bountiful Utah Therapist

Understanding the “whys” behind behavior has always been important to me. They take the form of beliefs, misunderstandings, trauma experiences, disappointments, losses, and more. Sometimes it takes the insight and experience of another to help us discover for ourselves how to create change.

This is why counseling with a therapist can be such an essential part of the process of change. It was my own journey into finding the “whys” of my own behavior that led me to a career change into the world of mental health.

My empathy for others drives my work as a counselor. I believe that when we have the right information, our behavior starts to make more sense. This doesn’t excuse behavior that’s dangerous or hurtful, but it does provide understanding and motivation for us to start changing elements of ourselves we want to refine.

I work best with individuals and families facing the trauma of grief, loss, addiction, or betrayal. I’ve faced many of these same issues in my own life and have focused my training and practice on these areas of healing and recovery.
