While I haven't personally had an appointment at this clinic yet, it came highly recommended by a…read moreclose friend whose children have received care here. She spoke especially highly of Nancy, sharing that she is incredibly compassionate, knowledgeable, and skilled in working with trauma and abuse. As a parent currently navigating these challenges with my own child, I've been searching for a place that offers not only expert care but also understanding and support. I'll be reaching out soon to connect with Nancy, and I already feel encouraged knowing that others have had such positive experiences here. I'm grateful for the recommendation and hopeful that this will be the right fit for our family.

I am an actor so naturally I have mental issues that need addressing. I have loved the staff and my…read moretherapist Jimmy at Deseret Counseling. My experience has been nothing short of phenomenal. Despite being on the waitlist for some time (7 months) before being able to see anyone (which frankly I didn't mind because I was not the type to go to, nor did I want to go to therapy; because you know I'm a guy and guys don't talk about their feelings) I have been able to work through some very challenging things and have seen a significant difference in my mental health since meeting with them. If you're looking for a therapist that cares for you, seeks to understand you, and who you can send memes to you should seriously consider Jimmy and his staff. They are top notch and in my opinion are the best there is.

Kyle is the ONLY recommended therapist I would send anyone to in Utah County! He specializes in…read moremarriage and family therapy as well as addiction and pornography. However, he is a great individual therapist as well. Kyle is THE most genuine, caring and trustworthy person. He is committed fully to your situation and helping you overcome the pain or difficulty you are in. He is sensitive to your needs, honest and he truly has a passion for helping YOU! There are a lot of therapists that can take your money and ask you how you feel. If that's all you need, go anywhere. But, if you are truly looking for help in understanding yourself better, fixing problems, overcoming heartache, pain, addiction or relationship struggles, I would not recommend anyone BUT him. He is truly a blessing in my family, and we thank God that we have crossed paths with him.

Very bad experience using connections counseling services. The counseling I received was decent…read moredespite the counselor being late and ending the session early. Counseling was not the bad part of my experience, I am assuming they are good counselors just may be working for the wrong company. During the one appointment I had my contact information was not confirmed. This lead to the office having the completely wrong email address for me despite still having the correct telephone number. I had believed my insurance was going to cover the visit so I was not expecting a bill. Almost a year after the service I received a threatening text message that alluded to Connections Counseling taking me to collections. This was conveyed over text message and in a unprofessional manner. Especially since I hadn't known about the bill and the company had not attempted to contact me via phone. After paying the bill over the phone I asked to give a review. I was harassed with multiple phone calls after this before finally getting to this form. I would not recommend connections counseling to anyone wanting to focus on their mental health. They are more focused on getting money out of their clients and their service is incredibly expensive (over 150/hr) comparatively to counseling you can receive online or through other counseling services. Please for the sake of your, or your loved ones, mental health services steer clear of Connections Counseling.

I starting seeing Dr Edgington when I starting noticing ADHD issues only to discover between a…read moregeneral practitioner and him that I had ADHD and PTSD. He told me to go ask my Dr for adderall who jumped down my throat and started accusing me of trying to get drugs (duh that's what adderall is). She started making accusations and instead of Dr edgington sending her a request himself this is what happened (her name is Sarah Daly btw don't ever go to her because she's rude and too stupid to proactively call the referring psychiatrist who mad the suggestion). After trying to get him to call her she finally agreed that I wasn't some drug dealing maniac (mind I was a perfect little LDS girl and a recently returned missionary so OBVIOUSLY I looked the part). Anyway long story short Dr Edgington would spend his time telling me everything wrong with me but never offered solutions or ways to better my perception or thinking. He told me that if I wanted to fit it or be loved that I would have to change who I was because no one likes a genuine and honest person who always has their best interests in mind, "that would happen in a perfect world". While seeing him he told me to start swearing which only alienated me from the closed minded idiots in Provo even more. Heaven forbid you're actually a human being who didn't come from a rich naive family without health issues. My depression worsened as I was diagnosed with a chronic illness. I told him I felt suicidal to which he told me my woes are my fault for backstabbing??? I never have been nor will I ever be kaniving or a back stabber? We never even talked about scenarios were this could've possibly happened. Turns out he was seeing my extremely negative roommate whom I bent over backwards to help and who often got upset with me for doing everything she needed help with. It was never good enough. On occasion I would speak with another roommate about how I felt sorry for her...that was it. I have a feeling they probably talked and I somehow became public enemy number one. He basically accused me of things that weren't even true. Not long later I almost killed myself and wound up in UVRMC. This guy is poison!!! I have since learned I struggled a lot because I'm attractive, moral, and intelligent. Many were and are jealous and did everything they could to keep me from seeing it. I now know I have many great talents and have nothing to be ashamed of about being me. It's taken a while and I've learned how to recognize better friends and people. Bottom line stay away from him!!!! I now have a very healthy fear of psychologist and have extreme anxiety issues anytime I need to see any kind of physician because of this.

K, I just read your comments and my heart literally hurts for you. From your post I sense a great…read moredeal is weighing on you. I'm really sorry you are suffering from that. I am hopeful, since you wrote that, you was able to find someone you can trust to give you the help you need. I'm also sorry that you had this experience with Dr. Edgington (lol, I have a hard time calling him that because for me, he's "Shawn"). I wished that you could have seen the caring, loving, genuine person that I know him to be. I will tell you, he literally saved my life and saved everything that is important to me. He is probably the single greatest person that I've ever had the privilege to meet. I understand, sometimes personalities just don't "match". I wished you and him could have developed the relationship that I have with him. I think you would have found him to be the same person I described above. I will tell you, I've never felt more "safe" around anyone in my life. Trust isn't something that I give very freely. He was honest with me. I needed that. He didn't try to downplay or sugarcoat things with me. He just shared his knowledge and caring personality each week that I met with him. If I died tomorrow and had young children, this is the man I would hope my children would be placed with. I feel that strongly about him and his character. Again, I'm sorry you didn't have the same experience that I have/had. I felt compelled to write as I would encourage ANYONE that feels like they just need someone to talk to, to understand them, to seek him out. If you are someone that is just looking for someone to tell you that everything you say/do is okay and all of your problems are because of the rest of the world, he likely won't be a good match. If you want someone you can trust and to be honest with you. I think he's a very good candidate. Oh, I should also mention that I previously had experiences with 2 other professionals in the same field. IT WAS A DISASTER WITH EACH OF THEM! I don't recall how I found Shawn but I thank God almost daily that I did. Best of luck to you.
