Therapists

Nicholas Call, LCSW

I always knew that my dream was to return home after school, to the community where I grew up, and serve that community in the best way I knew how - to impact the stigma of mental health and help others find their greatest strengths.I came to this work by way of personal and professional evolution. I am in recovery. I have also experienced mental illness. Both have stigmas. Both suck. And both have helped me find deep levels of peace, serenity, and grace. My goal is to help you find the ways mental illness (and addiction) can motivate, strengthen, and guide you.

I believe that to truly see change in how we feel and act within our world, we have to engage from the roots. This is why I focus on helping you heal rather than teaching you skills. Helping you face fears and address obstacles like panic, shame, pain, guilt, and inadequacy is one of my favorite parts of the work we will do. These obstacles drain mental energy and cloud thinking. You don’t have to face these obstacles alone. I believe that our greatest asset is our capacity to embrace everything that life has to offer - the good, the bad, and everything in between. I think that adversity can be a brilliant teacher if we’re willing to be taught. While I’m trained to provide therapy to individuals, couples, and families, I specialize in the treatment of trauma and the complex and resistant triggers and symptoms associated with that trauma.

I practice Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). CBT is about understanding the connection between how you think, how you feel, your physical symptoms, and how you act at the present time. I am also trained in helping you uncover unconscious drives that come from your past. Our work together will move fluidly between the past and present so you can create a future that is fulfilling, meaningful, and intentional.

In our sessions, I'll show you how to be vulnerable and genuine by being that way myself. I'll laugh at your jokes. You can show me your favorite dog video or Star Wars meme before we start. You're as likely to find me sitting back in my leather chair wearing jeans and flannel as sitting perfectly poised in slacks and a tie. (Okay, who am I kidding? Much more likely.)  And then we'll get down to the hard work. Because therapy is hard work, for both of us. But it's also rewarding, fulfilling, life-giving work. I can't wait to share that with you. I bring all of me into my work. I am present and transparent, often reflecting personal examples that may illuminate a place where you are feeling stuck or to help you feel less isolated. Given this, if you're looking for a 'blank slate' therapist, we are probably not a good fit. I am right there with you.

I am the owner and Executive Clinical Director at Tree of Life Counseling Center.  I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (Utah License 8573900-3501) and spend most of my days seeing clients and interacting with people in the office.  In addition to being a psychotherapist, I’m also an Assistant Clinical Professor and Field Instructor at several local universities such as Utah State University, Boise State University, Rocky Vista University and the University of Utah.  I currently serve on the Weber State University Department of Social Work Community Advisory Council and the Weber Communities That Care Coalition.

For three years, I worked as a Unit Clinician at Highland Ridge Hospital and Primary Children's Hospital in Salt Lake City. I provided individual, family and group therapy in a residential setting for emotionally disturbed adolescents, many of whom presented with dual diagnosis and co-morbid psychiatric disorders. I also worked as a Clinical Associate at Lifestone Counseling Center and Best Practice Counseling in Salt Lake City, where I learned how to help teenagers and young adults who had experienced significant trauma and adverse childhood experiences relieve their symptoms associated with those experiences.

In my experience the relationship that is created between a person and their therapist is one of the most important aspects of therapy. I work from a person centered approach using my training and experience as tools to facilitate success in therapy. I have spent most of my time as a therapist working with teens and their family, young adults struggling to thrive, and adults who are finding it difficult to deal with daily life challenges due to a variety of reasons. My hope is that a person is able to work through whatever issues they are facing in a supportive therapeutic setting; that they are able to find relief, feel hope, and learn skills that lead to their definition of a successful and healthy future. 

When I’m not at work I’m busy raising my three kids. When I can, I enjoy being outside, gardening, and being with friends. I am active in my own therapy and trying to “figure it out” like a lot of other people.

I believe that every part of a story matters. Our relationships, intersectionalities, environments, and experiences in life often provide us with a blueprint for our future. It can sometimes become overwhelming to consider. I would love to sit with you, find patterns and connections, to feel more grounded, as you navigate this journey of life. I find value in empowering my clients to see their own strengths, find ways to seek joy, and make sense of their relationships in life. I love to engage with clients as they are and collaboratively create a helpful client-therapist relationship that fits their specific needs and goals. Every human deserves to have a space to be themselves, and I look forward to hosting that therapeutic space for you. 

I am a recent graduate from Central Connecticut State University with a Master’s degree in Marital and Family Therapy. I currently hold an Associate Marriage and Family Therapy license while I work to obtain my licensure in the state of Utah. During my graduate internship experience in Connecticut I spent two years working in a local elementary school supporting children and their families and hosting mental health groups. At the same time I worked as a clinical intern at a community health agency to provide mental health support to families, couples, and individuals. After my graduation I continued to work as a therapist in the community health agency until my recent move to Utah. I have experience with clients with a variety of needs including finding support for anxiety, ADHD, ASD, depression, gender and sexual identity, as well as family, couple, and relationship concerns. I enjoy working with teens and their families, adult individuals, and couples, and also have experience working with children and adolescents and their families. I value providing gender-affirming and culturally responsive care to my clients, as our identity is a major portion of our lives. 

I moved to Utah from Connecticut due to my passion for the outdoors. As an avid hiker, biker, and newbie skier I have greatly appreciated the beautiful landscapes throughout the state. I like to laugh and get creative and hope to learn more about your passions in life. 

I became a therapist because I genuinely enjoy the experience of connecting with, and helping people who are looking for help. Maybe you’re just looking for a safe place to talk and feel heard, an opportunity to problem solve and learn new skills, or someone to challenge your way of thinking and perspective. Whatever your destination, we can get there together. 

I was born and raised in Utah. When I’m not a therapist I am an avid rock climber and generally enjoy being outdoors. Other interests include reading fiction, watching T.V. and movies with my wife, following the latest NBA season, and walking the dog.

The biggest influence on effective counseling is the professional relationship you have with your counselor/therapist. I am all about creating a space you feel comfortable and invited in. I hope to create an environment where you never feel judged, where you can freely express every emotion you have and sit with it, where you can talk openly about what you truly are thinking and feeling. Mental health is so important to me which is why I do what I do and hope to extend that philosophy to those I work with. My favorite quote is, “you can’t help others until you help yourself.” With that said I would be amiss if I didn’t invest in self care myself. Thus, when I’m not here, you can probably catch me hanging out with my husband and 3 kiddos, going to farmer’s markets or other community events (I love to support local), watching movies, traveling, going to museums, reading or writing.
