Personal Experience & Biography

I, Ragan, have been practicing therapy since 2016, beginning in Hawaii, then continuing in Utah when I moved to pursue my Ph.D. in marriage and family therapy (Graduated in ’22). I am deeply passionate about taking individuals and couples through a powerful healing process that involves getting to the core of whatever ails them and working to resolve those core concerns as well as their prevailing symptoms. Whether you are struggling with feeling distant, alienated, or disconnected, struggle in your relationships with communication, feeling alone, or hurt, or need help as an individual or couple to heal from past injury, trauma, or just the hardships of life, I am here to help. I love helping others foster healthy relationships and to feel healthy and whole both mentally and emotionally. My goal is to help you also feel heard, felt, seen, and safe throughout the therapy process.

Using a number of approaches, I work with clients to identify mental health interventions, maladaptive beliefs and behaviors, improve relationships, and help client’s recognize and utilize their own strengths to get them on a path where they can feel happy, healthy, connected, and be happy with who they are. I also love helping clients learn to stretch and strive to become who they want to become.

I regularly implement a number of therapeutic disciplines, including Emotion Focused Couples Therapy (EFT), Mindfulness, Crisis Response Planning (Suicidality), Cognitive based therapies, strength based therapies, and trauma focused theories (primarily IFS and EMDR). 

My Therapy

My main foci are working with couples to improve their relationships, and working with individuals experiencing symptoms of depression, anxiety, grief, loss, who feel lost, struggle with perfectionism, who need help exploring difficult decisions, who struggle with sleep, and/or who have unresolved trauma. I also really enjoy working with clients who simply want to improve, want help identifying their goals and who want support in accomplishing those goals.
