Therapy That Fits Your Needs
Counseling isnât one-size-fits-all, so the Recovery Ways team specializes in a wide range of therapies. Weâll collaborate with you to figure out which modalities best work for you. Some of the types of counseling in Salt Lake City, Utah we offer include:
Our Therapeutic Settings
Individual Therapy
One-on-one therapy sessions offer a comfortable space for you to work towards personal goals and explore sensitive topics with a professional counselor. Your provider will offer expert guidance that helps you take steps towards meeting your goals, develop important life skills, and find ways to boost your overall well-being.
Group Counseling
We hold group therapy sessions in all of our programs and have found theyâre highly beneficial for clients. Meeting with likeminded peers to listen to both shared and diverse experiences allows clients to heal and develop strong interpersonal skills that will serve them long-term.
Family Therapy
Our family therapy strengthens communication, trust, and understanding between loved ones, creating a supportive foundation for recovery. By addressing family dynamics and healing relationships, we help both clients and their families grow together.
Virtual Counseling
Whether you have a busy schedule, donât have reliable transportation at the moment, or simply prefer to participate in therapy in the comfort of your own home, our virtual counseling options offer flexibility without compromising effectiveness. Our therapists are happy to meet with you through a secure video conferencing platform or over the phone.
Our Evidence-Based Modalities
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT is a kind of talk therapy that focuses on identifying and rewriting unhealthy or outdated thought patterns. This can help you address symptoms from a number of mental health conditions including depression, anxiety, and PTSD, while improving coping skills, relationships, and your outlook on life.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Originally created to address symptoms of borderline personality disorder, DBT has been proven to improve emotional regulation and relationship building skills. It is now used to treat a wider variety of diagnoses including depression, anxiety, PTSD, eating disorders, and substance use disorders.
Addiction Counseling
Substance use rarely exists in a vacuum, so addiction counseling offers the chance to explore and heal root causes. Your therapist will work with you to overcome trauma, manage triggers, and build a healthier, more fulfilling life free from the cycle of addiction.
Occupational Therapy (OT)
Occupational therapy (OT) helps you rebuild essential life skills, fostering independence and confidence as you move toward long-term recovery. By focusing on practical abilities and community engagement, you’ll feel empowered to live your life with purpose and stability.
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
Our Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy helps clients explore the different âpartsâ of themselves with compassion, fostering self-awareness and healing from within. By creating harmony among these parts, IFS empowers individuals to reduce inner conflict and build a stronger sense of balance and well-being.
Recreation Therapy
Participating in recreation therapy allows clients to try new activities and challenge themselves in a healthy way. Through activities such as skiing, team sports, sailing, yoga, and more, clients learn skills that can be used in their everyday lives long after they leave our programs.
Trauma-Informed Therapy
When healing from trauma, itâs important to choose a provider who is experienced in trauma-informed practices. Our Salt Lake City counseling services allow you to safely explore past traumas, understand their impact on you, and feel empowered to move forward with your life.
Motivational Interviewing (MI)
Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a collaborative counseling approach that helps individuals explore and resolve ambivalence about change. By using empathy, active listening, and guided conversation, it empowers people to find their own motivation and confidence to make positive life changes.

What to Expect in a Counseling Session
Our Salt Lake City therapists go above and beyond to make their sessions as healing and collaborative as possible. Youâll be encouraged to share past experiences based on your comfort level, discuss what has been on your mind, and rewrite patterns that may be holding you back from reaching your goals. Youâll never be judged or made to feel uncomfortable, as our team is highly compassionate and trained to ensure you feel safe throughout each visit.
In a typical therapy session, you may go through several exercises that have been proven to manage specific symptoms or overall well-being. These might include guided meditations, worksheets, education, and goal setting. You may also be asked to complete âhomeworkâ to help you practice your new skills outside of counseling.

All of my teachers were excellent, not only did they care but they took the time to get to know me as an individual and come up with solutions that worked for me. I felt very comfortable.
