Therapy That Moves Beyond Talk

Body Awareness & Nature-Based Counseling for Teens, Young Adults, and Parents in Utah.

Holistic Therapy & Personalized Care

I’m Cody, your holistic therapist.

I guide teens, young adults, and parents with slowing down, reconnecting, and walking away feeling more secure, confident, and at peace in their own skin.

I’m a holistic therapist who ditches the cookie-cutter approach to therapy — instead weaving mindfulness, body-based practices, and time in nature to help teens, young adults, and parents feel grounded, connected, and more at ease.

Areas of Practice

  • Parenting through transitions can be both hopeful and overwhelming. Whether your teen is returning home after residential or wilderness treatment—or you’re simply seeking steadier ground—the shifts in routine, expectations, and relationships can feel like too much.

    Many clinicians default to family therapy alone. I offer something different: real tools you can practice right away. That means learning about yourself as a parent, understanding your triggers, and building communication skills that sustain long-term growth and connection. It’s about showing up with clarity and confidence, not fear.

  • Today’s youth live in a storm of noise—identity pressure, social media, self-doubt, and the constant hum of “not enough.” Too often, therapy can feel like another place where you’re blamed, or where someone just takes your parents’ side.

    Here, you’re actually heard. This is a space to slow down, breathe, and make sense of what’s going on beneath the surface. We don’t just talk about problems—we build tools for resilience, self-understanding, and growth you can carry with you for life.

  • Stepping into adulthood—or building your professional life—comes with unique pressure. You’re balancing independence, relationships, career choices, and identity, all while trying to hold onto your sense of self.

    I help young adults and professionals navigate these transitions with intention. Together, we clarify what matters most, uncover patterns that may be holding you back, and build the resilience to step into your next chapter with confidence and purpose.

  • Trauma isn’t always one big event—sometimes it’s being misunderstood, silenced, or praised for performing at the expense of your truth.

    Somatic therapy works directly with what your body is still carrying. Through mindfulness and movement, we slow down and listen to your nervous system. This isn’t about pushing or rehashing old wounds—it’s about creating safety, self-trust, and lasting integration.

    Nature-based therapy expands this process outside the therapy room. The natural world gives us space to regulate, reconnect, and rediscover our place in something bigger than ourselves.

What to Expect:

  • We’ll start with a brief phone or video call to talk through what’s bringing you in, answer questions, and see if it feels like a good fit. No pressure, just a chance to connect.

  • Our first session goes deeper into your story, current challenges, and what you’d like to shift. Together, we’ll set initial goals and begin creating a plan that feels doable and supportive.

  • No cookie-cutter therapy here. Whether it’s somatic practices, mindfulness, parent coaching, or nature-based sessions, we’ll shape the work around what actually fits your life and your nervous system.

  • Therapy is both grounding and forward-moving. Along the way, you’ll learn practical tools, deepen self-understanding, and have a steady space to process, grow, and integrate lasting change.

What People Are Saying

  • The best counseling I’ve ever had. From someone who genuinely cares about the well being of others. I wouldn't go anywhere else.

    Rob Talamante

  • Cody brings his life experience and level headed approach to his counseling. As a parent with a challenging teen who we placed into a facility where Cody was the counseling therapist. I appreciate Cody’s humor, his capacity to challenge our teen and his good way of explaining when things were complicated. Both for his kindness and the quality of his counseling, Cody was one of the best parts of our teen’s experience away from home. You will appreciate his demeanor and keen awareness as you or your child enters therapy with him. 10/10, top recommendation!

  • Cody has been amazing for my son and myself over the years. I am out of state and now that he can work virtually, we didn't hesitate to sign back up with him. He has a way of connecting with teens and helping parents navigate those tough years. I highly recommend Cody!

Find Your Balance

This isn’t about forcing a positive mindset.

It’s about listening to your body’s truth — the aches, the tension, the quiet knowing underneath it all.

If talk therapy left you in your head and self-help left you spinning, this is the ground beneath both.

Here, your emotions, beliefs, and body are all part of the healing.

We work together through somatic therapy, mindfulness, and nature-based practices — so you can soften, release, and rebuild from the inside out.

Is This You?

💭 Teens and young adults feeling anxious, detached, afloat, or disconnected from who they’re becoming.

👨‍👩‍👦 Families preparing for transitions—like a teen returning from treatment, leaving for college, or moving toward independence—and needing support to strengthen connection along the way.

🌿 Insightful, self-aware souls who’ve done the work—but still feel stuck in emotional loops the mind alone can’t untangle.

🌀 In the midst of a major life transition—identity, career, relationship—and wanting clarity, not just coping skills.

🌱 Deep feelers drawn to somatic healing and body-centered therapy—not surface-level solutions.

🔥 Burned-out helpers, healers, and therapists carrying more than they show—and needing a space of their own.

đź‘ź Men exploring emotional healing, growth, and vulnerability outside outdated definitions of masculinity.

🚫 Folks hurt by rigid, pathologizing therapy—and ready for a more holistic approach.

🌲 Earth-connected humans who feel most alive and grounded in the natural world.

If any of this resonates, I’d love to connect. Let’s find a rhythm that supports your healing.

My Approach

Move, Feel, and Heal—Not Just Think Your Way Through It

I combine trauma-informed therapy, somatic movement (Hakomi-inspired), nature-based practices, and mindfulness to help you shift from:

  • Hypervigilance → grounded presence

  • Emotional shutdown → embodied expression

  • Overthinking → intuitive knowing

  • Self-doubt → trust in your inner rhythm

This isn’t about fixing you — it’s about reconnecting to what’s already wise within.

You’ll Learn To Reclaim…

  • A deeper connection to your body’s truth

  • The ability to release survival patterns like people-pleasing or emotional numbing

  • A renewed sense of voice, boundaries, and pace

  • A healing process rooted in movement, not just talk

You’re not broken. You’re just ready for a different kind of support.

Let’s start there.

Serving Utah in-person + virtually. Nature-based + somatic therapy available.
