Emily R. says, "Let’s just say I’ve had a lot of therapists in my life. And I can say without a doubt that Jonathan is special. My husband and I have been seeing him for couples counseling. First, he was the first person to call me back out of the many I reached out to. And I mean within minutes of my outreach. Then, he talked to me for a long time for free to see if it was a good fit. The conversation was a true connection, and I could tell that he really cares about what he’s doing, and that he has the gift. He does this cool thing where one week he sees us together and the next, he sees us individually. I really like his philosophy of each of us doing the deep work on ourselves in order to bring everything we’re capable of to the table in marriage. He has insights and relatability, he’s very smart and funny, and most of all, we leave therapy on good footing, as opposed to in an argument like we did with previous therapists. He makes you think more deeply about yourself, always asks the best questions that really get to the root of the issue. His experience and knowledge really shine, he’s a tremendous listener, and he remembers details of things we said weeks ago. We always feel so much better after seeing Jonathan, and we truly look forward to each session. The guy is worth his weight in gold. I can’t recommend him highly enough! Jonathan, our gratitude for your care is endless, and thank you is not enough!"See more

Marriage and Relationship Counseling

  • Serves Salt Lake City, UT
As I see it, in our therapy sessions, we’re just human beings working together to make your life better. You’re the expert on your life and my first responsibility is to listen to you and understand where you’re coming from. I may have thirty plus years of experience and education as a counselor and therapist but you know your life, your family, your intimate relationships, your friendships, your thoughts and feelings. You need to be heard. In addition to what issues you’re facing, I’ll listen to learn who you are to discover your strengths, your intelligence, your resilience and your resolve to overcome your difficulties. As a contextual family therapist, I’ll work with you and your family to explore your situation from a perspective that encompasses the larger systems of your family of origin, your current family, your friendships, community, work, and school. In addition to talk sessions, we may utilize creative modalities such as Sandtray Therapy in which you use miniatures to represent aspects of your life. We may use meditation and other methods to work on self-regulation. I have meditation playlists available to my clients. While I am a family therapist, I welcome you to come to therapy as an individual. Our work can be accomplished more powerfully when your family is present and participating but I understand that, for many reasons, this is not always possible. Throughout my entire career I have worked with troubled teenagers. Whether they are resistant to therapy, depressed, angry, acting out or even under the supervision of juvenile probation, teens find they can trust me and, within a short time, they begin to open up, improve their communication with their families, improve their behaviors and make strides in personal growth. I treat children with a combination of contextual family therapy, Mindfulness Based Play-Family Therapy and Synergetic Play Therapy. We start each session with a brief mindfulness meditation to calm and focus our energies followed by a family talk time during which we discuss the realities of family, community and school life for the child and the family. Our goals include developing and improving parent/child communication and achieving relational healing within the family system. After family talk time, the child and I move to my play therapy room, a safe, comfortable space stocked with carefully chosen items such as doll houses, miniatures, cars, magnets, sand, puppets, blocks and art materials that inspire the imagination. Because play is the natural language of children though which they process their world, I join the child in play, in their land of pretend. I follow where the child leads as they identify and work through their deepest issues, releasing what is holding them back from success and happiness. Subtle interventions help children learn to identify and regulate difficult feelings. Through this mindful process, children learn safe, productive emotional expression and achieve deep, personal healing. Maybe you’re feeling overwhelmed by a life circumstance or a relationship difficulty, you’re feeling anxious, depressed, angry or stuck. Maybe you’re questioning your decisions and your life’s current trajectory. Maybe your family seems to be falling apart, you’re worried about your child or your teenager is acting out or in trouble. Maybe you’ve been traumatized by a crime or other event. My areas of specialty include but are not limited to anxiety, depression, trauma including trauma related to crime, physical, emotional and sexual abuse and domestic violence, adjudicated youth, families with autism, divorced, separated and blended families and children in foster care. I am sensitive to and embracing of the wide diversity of people, inclusive of all races, ethnicities, religions and gender and personal identifies. Wherever you are in your journey, I'm here to listen and help. My work is very satisfying. I like seeing my clients make progress and realize their potential. I like knowing I've helped people lead happier lives.See more

Jared B. says, "My time being coached by Jeff was filled with challenge, growth, and happiness. Jeff is someone who cares about his clients and takes his work very seriously. Before his coaching program, I thought I had no hope, but he was able to help me overcome some of my worst fears, help me change my thinking, and launch me further forward that I thought possible. I recommend him all the time and almost always, my friends come back satisfied and brand new in their recovery. Jeff has a ton of life experience to draw from and can meet most people exactly where they are in their recovery. His story continues to move me and his choice to help people in their stories only confirms even more just how blessed he really is. Thanks, Jeff!"See more

Elsa M. says, "I have been working with Brynne regularly since 2021. I have a pretty significant trauma history. As a result I have a developed a shopping list of disorders that I wouldn't wish on my worse enemy. It took years for a proper diagnosis. 1 of which many mental health professionals discriminate against because we can be difficult. But Brynne didn't turn me away. I have been in & out of therapy for over 2 decades since I was in foster care. She is the ONLY therapist to really make me feel seen, safe & understood. She got through to me in ways others didn't. I don't think I would still be here had I not crossed paths with her. If I make it to Jan this will be the 1st year in 6 that I haven't needed a hospitalization due to si issues. She will hold the mirror so you see but in a way that doesn't make you feel shame. So you xan really unpack that stuff, process it, change behaviors, let go & heal. She is the best therapist I've ever had, & I've had many. Extremely trauma informed, educated & knowledgeable. She is kind, patient, honest & a good human. I would recommend Brynne to anyone- especially trauma survivors. Thank you Brynne for helping me. & believing in me when I didn't even believe in myself. I will be forever grateful for the work we've done. Thank you, Elsa"See more
