Your Story Matters

At Anthology Counseling, we believe that every person carries a layered and evolving story. Like an anthology—a collection of voices, chapters, and turning points. Your life is rich with meaning.

We’re here to help you explore that story with care, curiosity, and clarity.

Welcome to Anthology Counseling

Anthology Counseling is a collective of therapists in Salt Lake City, Utah offering compassionate, trauma-informed therapy for children, adults, couples, and families. And, we take insurance! Contact us, we can get you booked within the week.

We believe you are made of many stories—some whispered, some shouted, some scribbled in the margins during hard seasons. Like any good anthology, your life holds multitudes: comedy, tragedy, plot twists you didn’t see coming. 

Our Areas of Focus

  • Simple icon of a leaf inside a circular background.

    Child & Adolescent Therapy

    We support children and teens experiencing ADHD, autism, anxiety, depression as well as a wide range of mental health concerns with a focus on emotional regulation. We work with children as young as 4 by collaborating with parents. We truly believe working with the family has long standing impact.

    Couples Therapy

    We function as a translator amongst couples - by working to understand core issues, attachment needs and then communicating those concerns in a way that their partner can understand. 

  • Two hands raised together inside a yellow circle.

    Trauma-Informed Counseling

    We use evidence-based approaches like EMDR, mindfulness, and CBT to help you heal from past wounds and build resilience for the future.

Why Anthology Counseling?

The name Anthology nods to the beauty of layered stories, and to the idea of the palimpsest—a manuscript that's been written over, but never fully erased. Healing doesn’t mean starting from scratch. It means making room for new lines while honoring the ones that got you here.

Our practice offers therapy for children, adults, and couples, as well as specialized support for women’s issues and life transitions. Together, we’ll build a path that feels right for you.

  • Insurance Accepted

  • In-person or telehealth sessions

  • Neurodivergent Affirming care
