Jory also believes that healing cannot happen unless you want it.
Your willingness to be vulnerable and talk about difficult things will make your therapeutic journey your own.

Authenticity allows for a deeper more real connection with those around you, and that authenticity will be reflected in the connection Jory shares with you.

Lets face it, who likes to talk about their crap with other people?
If you’re like most clients, you’re used to being judged despite hearing so many people talk about non judgment and when you do open up, it seems like the more you share, the less likely you are to get compassion.
We’ve worked our butts off to create a clinic where the unfiltered, real you, can show up and heal, so dammit give therapy a chance!
We love the unfiltered real you, let’s heal together. – Utah Family Therapy Team
