Jeremy Clark, LMFT Therapist
Thanks for visiting! I understand that finding a safe, nonjudgmental, and compassionate space can feel challenging, particularly for those in the LGBTQ+ community. As a marriage and family therapist, I believe that empathy, unconditional positive regard, collaboration, and authenticity are crucial to therapeutic growth – these values are the foundation of my practice.
My therapeutic approach draws from Internal Family Systems (IFS) and narrative therapy, working with teens and adults. I view you as the expert of your own life – you have the answers within you, they may just be clouded at times. My role is to collaborate with you in uncovering these answers through a process that's tailored to your unique needs and experiences.
With several years of dedicated experience supporting LGBTQ+ individuals, families, and romantic partnerships, I'm particularly passionate about helping individuals improve their mental health & couples navigate their relationships. I also find deep fulfillment in supporting those exploring faith journeys and interfaith relationships. Regardless of how you identify or where you are in life, you deserve to be heard and empowered. My hope is that you'll leave your very first session feeling supported, safe, and understood.
The values I bring to therapy – authenticity, compassion, connection, and validation – are the same ones I strive to embody in my personal life as a father, spouse, musician, and nature enthusiast. When I'm not in the therapy room, you might find me tending to my plants, embracing my inner nerd, or enjoying Cache Valley's beautiful outdoors.
I completed my Masters degree at Utah State University in 2021, but my real education comes from the privilege of walking alongside clients on their journeys toward increased well-being, life satisfaction, and overall happiness. I'd be honored to be part of your journey too.

Devin Gold, LCSW, Therapist
Healing emerges when we are truly witnessed. I believe each of us carries an innate capacity for growth and transformation, even when it's buried beneath layers of protective patterns or painful experiences. Our work together involves us co-creating an environment where your whole self is welcomed—all parts, all identities, all experiences—allowing your natural healing abilities to flourish.
I specialize in working with LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent youth, young adults, and their families. Growing up in Utah as a queer and neurodivergent person in an LGBTQ+ family has deeply informed my approach as a therapist, as well as my interest in working with these populations. I consider myself a person-centered therapist, wherein you are the expert in your journey, while I serve as a collaborator and accomplice. My social work foundation keeps me rooted in principles of social justice, intersectionality, advocacy, and empowerment.
I draw from a diverse toolbox tailored to your specific needs, including Solution-Focused Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and trauma-informed approaches. I often incorporate body-based mindfulness, art, play, and sensory experiences to deepen therapeutic growth.
In my free time, I enjoy spending time with friends, playing with my five (yes, five!) cats, embroidering, reading (but rarely finishing) books, playing video games, watching women’s sports, and playing outside with my spouse.

Mandi Felici, MFTI, Therapist
MARRIAGE & FAMILY THERAPY + Individuals
You do not have to navigate life's heavy moments alone. I provide a calm, supportive space for individuals, couples, and families to feel truly heard and understood. Therapy is a place to set things down, breathe, and find steady support instead of carrying everything yourself.
WHO I HELP:
Individuals: Whether you are facing anxiety, depression, or major life transitions, I provide a compassionate space to help you navigate hard seasons, discover what you need to thrive, and find your footing again.
Couples: Using Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), I help you break out of exhausting, repetitive arguments, heal old hurts, and rebuild a secure, loving bond where you feel like you are truly on the same team.
Parents: If your child struggles with physical, mental, or neurodivergent needs, I offer a space dedicated to you. Let’s make sure you get support while supporting them.
Pre-Marital Counseling: Even if nothing is “broken”, you can build a stronger foundation for a blissfully happy marriage. We explore important topics like: managing conflict, parenting, intimacy, roles, finances and more. My “graduate” couples report feeling closer to their partner, more understood, and more prepared for marriage.
Young Adults & LDS Missionaries: From 18 and into your 20s, there’s a lot of stress and pressure related to college, missions, relationships and more. I help young adults and missionaries navigate their big life transitions, explore their personal identity, and discover the path that feels right.
Infertility & Adoption Support: Navigating infertility, infant loss, or adoption can feel deeply lonely and exhausting. I understand the unique heartbreak and hope that come with these journeys, and I am here to offer a soft place to land—a space where you can process the grief, breathe through the uncertainty, and feel truly understood.
Faith-Integrated Therapy: For clients who desire it, I welcome the opportunity to incorporate faith and spirituality into sessions in a way that respects your personal beliefs and values.
I have completed advanced training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). Have you ever felt like you and your partner keep having the exact same argument over and over? In EFT, we look at relationships like a dance—when we feel hurt or disconnected, we often fall into painful, reactive steps that pull us apart. EFT goes beyond teaching communication tricks or fixing surface-level fights. Together, we look beneath the surface to discover what you both truly need to feel safe and valued. By healing the root of the hurt, we break those exhausting cycles, transforming your relationship into a safe harbor where you feel deeply seen, securely connected, and on the same team again.
I also utilize Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which can help you stop fighting difficult thoughts and emotions, accept what is out of your control, and commit to meaningful actions that align with your deepest values. Together, these evidence-based frameworks allow us to target the root causes of distress while equipping you with practical, life-changing tools for your relationships and your personal growth.
Take the First Step! Reaching out feels vulnerable, but it is the first brave step toward meaningful change. I would be honored to walk alongside you.

Kathie Hansen, MSWI, Therapist
Growing up in Logan has given me a deep appreciation for this community. After spending many years living in England and New Zealand, I'm grateful to be back home serving individuals and families in Cache Valley.
I hold a degree in Social Work and am currently working toward my Master of Social Work. Throughout my career, I have worked with children, teenagers, adults, and families facing a wide range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, parenting concerns, domestic violence, family conflict, and relationship difficulties. While I enjoy working with people of all ages, I have a special passion for helping children feel safe, understood, and empowered to overcome life's challenges.
My approach is grounded in Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, which means I work collaboratively with clients to identify their strengths, build on what is already working, and create practical steps toward meaningful change. I believe every person has resilience and the capacity for growth, and I strive to provide a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, valued, and respected.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time outdoors, gardening, and making memories with my family. I'm the proud mother of four amazing sons and a delighted grandmother to one wonderful grandbaby. I consider it a privilege to walk alongside individuals and families as they work toward healing, hope, and lasting positive change.

Joseph "J.C." Corbridge, MSWI, Therapist
J.C. is an Idaho native who grew up on a cattle ranch, but has called Northern Utah home for the majority of his adult life. He is currently pursuing his Master of Social Work at Louisiana State University and brings over a decade of experience serving vulnerable and at-risk populations.
J.C. is a Certified CTI Case Manager with experience in mental health case management,

Ultimately, J.C.’s belief is that everyone has a story to tell. Each have unique challenges unknown, traumas experienced, and pain to reconcile.

Matthew “Ed”rington, LCSW, Therapist
Everybody has something that they love to nerd out about. Be it anime, sports, travel, books, movies, Magic the Gathering or video games, I want to hear about it all! I have been a therapist for 6 years who has specialized in trauma and substance abuse treatment. I believe that long term healing and treatment starts with a solid foundation, the therapeutic alliance between therapist and client. So let’s talk about your life! The good, the nerdy, the rough, the traumatic, I’m here for it.
I have worked with people throughout most of the human lifespan. From when I worked at a juvenile sex offender facility 14 years ago, to a Hospice internship for my masters degree. I was a therapist at a rural medicaid facility for 4 years where I saw people as young as 3, and as old as 95. Working in a rural facility I had the opportunity to work with almost any mental health and substance abuse diagnosis, persons, and environmental circumstances.
I have a lot of experience with DBT therapy, ART Therapy, and EMDR. I love being a part of people’s journey and listening about their lives. Together we can continue and complete a healing journey. I am here to listen, teach skills, and be a trustworthy and competent therapist for you. When I am not doing therapy I enjoy time with my three kids, reading books, the occasional video game, and acting.
