You’ve been holding it all together—again. Managing the kids, navigating relationships, juggling work, maybe even showing up for your community. From the outside, it might look like you’re doing just fine.
But inside? You’re tired. Tired of feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or like you’ve lost track of you somewhere along the way. All of this is making you irritable, most of the time. This is not how you thought motherhood… business.. life would be.
If you’ve been thinking about therapy but feel unsure of where to begin, you’re not alone. Women all across St. George are asking the same questions. Shoot – I’ve been in your shoes and I’m a therapist myself! At Guided Wellness Counseling, we’re here to walk with you—no judgment, no pressure, just grounded support and get-to-the-root-of-it healing.
Let’s explore the most common questions women in St. George, UT have about starting therapy in our community. Along the way I’ll share a little about my own therapy journey, because like I said – you are not alone.

We hear this all the time. The truth is, therapy isn’t about hitting rock bottom. It’s about choosing to grow, to get unstuck, or to finally put down the emotional load you’ve been carrying for too long.
If you’re feeling anxious, exhausted, disconnected, or like you’re constantly on edge, that is enough. You are enough.
If you’re feeling like your past is following you, haunting you, or showing up in really, really inconvenient ways – therapy can help
Whether you’re navigating anxiety, burnout, relationship strain, trauma, or just a deep sense of “something’s off,” therapy can be a powerful turning point. Therapy is not because you’re broken. It’s not because you need to be fixed. It’s because you’re ready for something different (even if you dont’ know what that different thing is yet).
Personally, I’ve been in therapy a few times in my life. One of the times was when I was wrestling with post-partum anxiety and anger. The rage I felt came on hot, and fast. It was totally unlike me. But it was random and rare. What was more lasting was my irritability. None of this was debilitating or life shattering, but it was hard on my relationships and I felt out of control of my emotions. I knew it was time for therapy.

Finding a therapist in St. George can feel like its own kind of emotional labor. You want someone who gets it—maybe someone who understands faith dynamics, small-town life, and the complexity of being a woman who’s always showing up for others.
Here are a few things to consider:
- What’s their specialty? At Guided Wellness, we support women navigating anxiety, trauma, codependency, and boundaries—offering EMDR and holistic therapy that honors the mind-body connection.
- Do you feel safe and seen? The right fit matters. That’s why we offer a free consultation call to help you find the right match on our team. We start by exploring your reason for considering therapy, your goals, and what’s worked or not worked so far. These calls feel easy, supportive and you get to share as much or as little as you like.
- Are they close to home? We’re conveniently located in central St. George and also offer telehealth for flexible access. Our team loves that we can flex back and forth between in-person or online therapy, especially during holidays and summer breaks.

Oh… my Southern Utah friends…If you’ve ever told yourself to just breathe or stop worrying and it didn’t work… That’s not your fault.
Insurance is such a confusing topic. But we make it really easy to understand. I love a good list, so let’s break this down bulletpoint by bulletpoint. Here we go:
Here are a few things to consider:
- We’re an out-of-network provider, which sounds confusing— it just means that you are responsible for the whole cost of your session at the time of service.
- Do you have out-of-network benefits?! Use the link below to enter your insurance information and our checker will tell you if you have these benefits and what your copay might be. You’ll still pay up-front, but your insurance will reimburse you.
- If you don’t have out-of-network benefits, you don’t have insurance, or don’t want to use it then just pay your own way! Most of our clients keep a credit, debit or HSA card on file so we can easily bill at the time of service.

Think of therapy as an investment in your peace of mind, emotional clarity, and the relationships that matter most. You don’t need to carry the cost—or the burden—alone.

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer here. Some women come for a few months to work through something specific. Others stay longer because therapy becomes part of their ongoing self-care and growth.
As a counselor at our St. George, UT therapy office I’ve seen clients get great results in 6 weeks and I’ve seen clients get great, ongoing results over 3 years. It truly depends on why you’re coming in and what your personal goals are for therapy.
We don’t rush. We don’t drag it out. We collaborate with you on what feels meaningful, doable, and aligned with your life.
You don’t have to commit to forever. Just start with the next right step.

Many of the women we work with have already tried the surface-level stuff—journaling, podcasts, deep breaths in the pantry between toddler meltdowns. This kind of self-care and self preservation is good, but it often isn’t enough. And that’s not your fault.
When I look back at my post-partum anxiety and anger, I was doing a lot of good stuff. I had a loving partner for support. I was working out. I was eating clean and doing guided meditations regularly. But then one day a surge of rage hit him mid-jog on the Grapevine hiking trail. I was baffled! How could my rage and anxiety find me in the middle of the Southern Utah desert, in the middle of a self-care exercise session? I sat on a boulder and sobbed. I needed more. The next day I started looking for a therapist.
At Guided Wellness Counseling, we move beyond Pinterest-worthy coping skills. We get to the root of it.
We offer:
- EMDR Therapy, especially powerful for trauma and anxiety
- Insight-oriented therapy and Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy to uncover beliefs that keep you stuck
- Mind-body strategies to regulate your nervous system and reconnect with yourself
Therapy with us is about deep, sustainable change—not a quick fix.

Absolutely not. You’re in charge of your healing timeline. We take it at your pace.
Many women come in scared to “open the floodgates.” That’s okay. Therapy is about creating a safe, steady container—where you can be real, raw, and still feel held.
You don’t have to tell your whole story in session one. We’ll start wherever you are.
If it helps, here are a few sensitive things women have bravely shared in their therapy sessions. Some of these have been the topic of therapy. Some have simply been informed about their lifestyle and relationships.
- Childhood sexual abuse
- Having an “open marriage” or practicing ethical nonmonogamy
- Realizing they are bisexual or queer mid-life / mid-marriage
- Questioning their faith / leaving their faith
- Having an affair
- Having an abortion
- Working on Only Fans
- Needing to detach from their adult children
- Separation and Divorce
- And so much more…
Maybe you see yourself in this list. But maybe you don’t, and that’s okay too. The point is, it’s a brave choice to share your life story with someone. It’s heroic to say I’m showing up and ready to feel better.
A therapist is not a person to judge you, your experiences or what healing looks like for you. We’re here for all the parts of you and we’re ready when you are.

Yes. Guided Wellness Counseling offers every new client a free 15-minute consultation call—a no-pressure space to ask questions, explore your goals, and see if we’re a good fit.
This call is your chance to breathe, reflect, and make an empowered decision about your care.
What will happen during your call? Each call follows a similar script where we discuss:
- What inspired you to call today? What’s going on?
- What would healing or ‘feeling better’ look like to you?
- Has anything you’ve tried helped so far?
- Is there anything that hasn’t worked? Or anything you don’t want?
Based on your answers, I’ll match you to a provider on our team that’s a great fit for your unique needs and goals. We’ll also consider scheduling needs, frequency of sessions and more.

That’s the hope—and the work. Yes, our St. George team of licensed therapists are trained in modalities that improve your mental and emotional health. But we’re also cheerleaders (when needed) and holders of hope; I know myself it can feel hard to believe things will ever feel better. We believe in a version of you who:
- Knows what she thinks, feels, wants and needs
- Has unshakable self-worth
- Practices self-care without guilt
- Sets boundaries without shame
- Doesn’t carry the whole world alone
- Is calmer, more patient and less resentful
- Moves on from the past (with confidence and peace)
She’s still in there. Let’s find her again.
