Counseling Center Therapists

Taylor Woslager, CSW (Exclusively Telehealth)

• Works with: anyone 13 and older.

• Offers telehealth

• Focus includes: anxiety, but will work with anyone!

“I recognized the importance of therapy and mental health care while I was in high school. I had a lot of friends and family members who struggled in secret; afraid to open the door to therapy and be vulnerable. From then on, I wanted to be the person that created a comfortable environment for anyone to communicate their mental health concerns, and reach out for help. My personal, educational, and professional experiences have helped me develop many meaningful skills that allow me to do just that.

I have a Master’s degree in Social Work from the University of Utah, and a Bachelor’s in Psychology from Utah State University. I have experience working with teens engaging in court-ordered treatment and students from Ogden School District providing therapy in the school setting. I have also worked with many adults using telehealth services through a nonprofit organization. I have learned the importance of creating a therapeutic relationship with my clients, beginning where the client is at, utilizing communication skills, and creating safe spaces with effective support systems. 

My passion centers around helping individuals, families, and communities reach their goals and achieve their full potential. I have worked with teens and adults throughout my professional career, and have loved watching individuals thrive and achieve their goals through guided support. I have worked with a variety of diagnoses including depression, anxiety, grief, ADHD, and more.

I currently have completed training in trauma-informed cognitive behavioral therapy, and have completed courses in trauma care, CBT, and DBT. I use many different approaches in a therapy setting. I have experience using CBT,  acceptance and commitment therapy, and solution-focused therapy. I believe it is important to cater my approach according to the needs of the person in front of me.

Outside of the work setting I enjoy spending time with my dogs and other loved ones, reading, going on adventures outdoors, and crocheting.”

Brooke Worthington, CSW

• Works with: anyone 13 and older; currently just individual clients

• Offers telehealth

• Focus includes: anxiety and depression

• Favorite type of therapy: (1) I geek out over somatic and polyvagal theory because they teach us to trust what our body is telling us which reconnects us back to our present awareness and restores confidence in our inherent strengths and abilities. (2) Internal Family Systems (IFS), finally a way to explain why our personalities shift across contexts without applying pathology and validates the question “what happened to you?” rather than “what’s wrong with you?”

“I engage with each client from a strengths-based, person-centered perspective and believe that the numerous social systems we interact with can contribute to the choices we make and may lead us to become dissonant with ourselves.

I retired from the dental profession as a Registered Dental Hygienist in 2021 when I returned to school at the University of Utah where I earned my undergraduate and graduate degrees in Social Work with an emphasis on mental health and School Social Work. While pursuing my education I worked at the University of Utah inpatient psychiatric unit and upon graduation had the opportunity to work at Ogden Regional Medical Center as part of their Alcohol and Chemical Treatment program. While I enjoyed interacting with the patients in the group setting I missed working with clients at a one-to-one level; because of my professional and personal experience I maintain an empathetic, non-judgemental perspective while also upholding ethical principles that guide the social work therapist’s role.

I moved to Utah when I was five and have been here ever since. In my free time, you might find me reading, drawing, watching movies, playing old-school video games, trying to spend time with my two grown children (who needs mom anymore!) or, just hanging out with my husband or one of my four pets.”

Whitney Mascarenas, M.Ed, ACMHC

• Works with: anyone 13 and older.

• Offers teletherapy

• Specializes in: anxiety, and enjoys working with teens, young adults, women, and moms!

• Favorite type of therapy: CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) and client-centered mindfulness.

“Hi, I’m Whitney and don’t even worry about trying to pronounce my last name - I get it - it’s long, unusual, and not something you see everyday. Just in case you’re wondering though, it’s pronounced (Moss-car-en-yas). 

I’ve lived in Utah for 8 years now and have loved every minute of it. I graduated from Utah State University and am licensed as a school counselor (M.Ed) and a mental health counselor (ACMHC). I have always had an interest in psychology and the reasoning behind why people do what they do. I enjoy building relationships with people and learning about the facets of their lives that have created who they are today.

I have experience with individual and group therapy.  I utilize different therapeutic modalities, especially person centered therapy,  mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. I’ve worked with a range of ages from 5 year olds to adults. My most recent experience was working with marginalized groups of opportunity youth. I also have been working at the University level in advising for the last 5 years. I have experience working with individuals struggling with anxiety, lack of motivation, depression, selective mutism, bipolar disorder, self regulation, executive functioning, social skills, and life skills attainment.

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.”

Camille Cutler, LMFT

• Works with: teens and adults individually or as families, and couples as well.

• Offers teletherapy

• Specializes in: couples therapy, and using a person-centered approach; just being human with other humans!

• Favorite type of therapy: ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), talking about client’s values, and identifying bite size pieces of goals, because we often try to take on the whole mountain but need to take it step by step.

“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 graduate from Central Connecticut State University with a Master’s degree in Marital and Family Therapy and am now a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. 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.”

Nicholas Call, LCSW

• Works with: anyone 21 and older!

• Offers teletherapy

• Specializes in: those who experience chronic and resistant symptoms of trauma. I also specialize in working with therapists as clients!

• Favorite type of therapy: Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy, and identifying protectors- our internal parts that work to prevent us from experiencing pain, ex: rationalizing our behavior to avoiding certain people or situations- and how to work through them.

“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.”
