MEET YOUR THERAPIST

Meet Calie

Calie Adams, LCSW
Northlight Counseling, Provo

I believe healing happens best when you feel safe, understood, and like you don’t have to have it all figured out before you walk through the door. I work with adults who feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in patterns they understand on some level but still can’t seem to change. I especially enjoy working with people who are thoughtful and self-aware, but find themselves wondering, “If I understand why I do this, why does it still keep happening?” Sometimes insight is an important part of healing, but it isn’t always enough. Together, we can look at what’s happening underneath the surface and help create change that you can actually feel, not just understand.

​

My approach is warm, direct, and trauma-informed. I use EMDR, clinical hypnosis, ACT, CBT, and the Gottman Method, but I don’t believe therapy should be one-size-fits-all. I’m engaged and genuine in the therapy room, and I’ll work alongside you to figure out what makes sense for you.

​

You don’t have to perform in therapy. You don’t have to explain yourself perfectly, know exactly what you’re feeling, or show up “ready” in some particular way. You can come as you are. My role is to help you make sense of what feels confusing, offer thoughtful guidance when you need it, and provide a steady space where all parts of you are welcome.

“You can move at a pace that feels manageable without losing sight of where you want to go.”
