Jared uses mindfulness, experiential work, and well-researched therapy methods to help individuals and couples.
Jared is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who works with couples, individuals and families. His journey into counseling began as a young teen attending his father’s Alcoholics Anonymous meeting. Hearing members share their stories of finding inner resources to overcome addiction and repair their broken relationships had a profound impact on him. Since then, he has been passionate about helping others find their own inner strength and building loving relationships. Before becoming a therapist, Jared received extensive training in methods to work with powerful emotions and to facilitate vulnerable connections. In addition to leading weekly classes and short workshops, he formed a men’s group, which he led for 3 years.
People come to Jared for many reasons, including:
- Loss of closeness in a relationship
- Constant arguing between partners
- Parents concerned about their adolescent child
- Men and women experiencing depression, anxiety, or anger
- Parenting challenges
- Men struggling with masculinity and sexuality
When working with couples and families, Jared first helps them identify the cycle they get caught up in that leads to arguing, blame or disconnection. He then gives couples new tools to communicate and connect with each other in constructive ways that build trust and safety, often resulting in a bond that is stronger than ever.
With individuals, Jared assesses where the client is at and how best to proceed. Some clients want to start right away to learn skills to address their challenges and move forward. Others first need a listening ear and help sorting out the complex and difficult issues they are facing.
Regardless of what clients are struggling with, Jared uses rigorously-tested evidence-based practices. He has completed training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for couples, and is currently working towards certification. He has also completed Gottman Method Level 1 training. When working with individuals, he draws upon Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which can be a remarkably effective tool to help clients manage difficult thoughts and emotions, while taking action towards valued goals.
In his spare time, Jared enjoys practicing meditation and backpacking in the mountains and deserts of Utah.
