Trusted St. George Counseling for Every Stage of Life
St. George is one of the fastest-growing cities in Utah – and with that growth comes change. New faces, new pressures, shifting family dynamics, career transitions, and the everyday weight of keeping it all together.
If you've been looking for St. George counseling that feels personal rather than clinical, Elevated Counseling and Wellness is here for you. We've spent over 20 years helping people in this community navigate life's toughest moments, and we're just getting started.
A Growing Community With Growing Needs
Washington County's population has surged over the past decade, and St. George now sits at well over 100,000 residents. Alongside the booming job market, outdoor recreation, and year-round sunshine, there's a quieter reality that doesn't always make the headlines.
More people means more demand for mental health support – and that demand is real. Relationship strain, anxiety, depression, grief, career burnout, and faith transitions don't care how beautiful the red rock views are.
We opened our doors because we saw a need for compassionate, accessible therapy right here in Southern Utah. Our office at 163 W 1600 S, Suite 3, was designed to feel warm and welcoming from the moment you walk in. Nothing sterile, nothing intimidating – just a safe place where you can be honest about what you're going through.
What Makes Our Approach Different
Not every counseling experience is the same, and it shouldn't be. Cookie-cutter therapy doesn't account for who you actually are – your history, your values, your relationships, or the specific pressures you're carrying right now. At our practice, St. George counseling is built around you.
We start by listening. Your first session focuses on understanding what brought you through the door and what you're hoping to get out of therapy. From there, your therapist creates a treatment plan tailored to your pace, your goals, and the modalities best suited to your situation. These may include:
Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) for reshaping thought patterns that keep you stuck- Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and the Gottman Method for couples and marriage work
- EMDR for processing trauma and reducing the grip of painful memories
- Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) for managing intense emotions
- Internal Family Systems (IFS) for understanding the different parts of yourself
- Somatic therapy and breathwork for healing through the body
Every therapist on our team brings specialized training, so we can match you with someone whose expertise fits your specific needs.
Who We Work With
One thing we're proud of is the range of people who come through our doors. St. George counseling at our practice serves:
Individuals
Whether you're dealing with anxiety that won't quiet down, depression that's drained your energy, a past trauma that still affects your daily life, or just a general sense of being lost –
individual therapy gives you a dedicated space to work through it with professional guidance.
Couples and Marriages
Relationships take a beating under stress, and sometimes love alone isn't enough to fix communication breakdowns or rebuild trust. Our marriage counselors use proven frameworks to help couples reconnect, understand each other's needs, and build something stronger than what they started with.
Teens and Young Adults
Adolescence is tough in any era, but today's teens face unique pressures – social media, academic competition, identity questions, and the lingering effects of growing up during uncertain times. Our therapists who work with younger clients know how to build trust and create a space where honest conversation can happen.
Seniors
Getting older brings its own set of challenges: retirement adjustments, health concerns, loss of loved ones, loneliness, and shifting purpose. We offer counseling specifically designed for adults 65 and older, meeting them where they are with patience and respect.
Faith, Identity, and Belonging
Living in Southern Utah means many of our clients are navigating questions around faith. A faith crisis or expansion – questioning long-held beliefs, stepping away from a religious community, or redefining what spirituality means to you – can shake the foundations of your identity and relationships.
We approach this topic without an agenda. Our role is to support you as you figure out what you believe and where you belong, not to push you in any direction.
We are also LGBTQ+ affirming and welcome individuals from all backgrounds, identities, and walks of life. Everyone who comes to our practice deserves to feel seen and respected, full stop.
Beyond Our Office Walls
While our physical home is in St. George, our reach extends across the entire state through
online teletherapy. Clients in Cedar City, Hurricane, Kanab, and beyond can connect with our therapists through HIPAA-compliant video sessions.
Even local clients sometimes prefer the flexibility of a virtual appointment on weeks when schedules get tight. Having both options means therapy stays consistent, regardless of what life throws at you.
Insurance and Getting Started
We accept most major insurance plans in Utah, including Select Health, Blue Cross Blue Shield, PEHP, United Health, Optum, Medicare, Medicaid, Tricare, and several others. Private pay is always an option as well. We believe in transparent communication about costs from the start – no surprise bills, no confusion about what your sessions will look like financially.
St. George counseling should feel like a lifeline, not another stressor. If you're ready to take the first step,
get in touch with our team today. We respond to most inquiries the same day, and we'll help match you with the right therapist for your situation.
You get to begin again – and we'd be honored to walk that path with you.
