About Trista Carras, LCMHC

Hi! I am Trista Carras.

I am a Clinical Mental Health Counselor licensed in the state of Utah.

I know that your healing is a personal journey that needs someone who understands your difficulties.

I seek to learn everyone’s unique story to help create the best path of healing. After doing the work together, my clients see significant improvements in their lives and relationships during and after therapy.

I am passionate about working with people who have experienced different types of stress, anxiety, traumas, PTSD, dissociative disorders, burn out, depression, family issues, relationship issues and helping them heal from the pain and hurt.

I am experienced in multiple evidence based strategies to help soften your healing process. My experience in multiple modalities allow me to help you feel better and accomplish your therapy goals.
