Helping Utah women navigate anxiety, burnout, relationships, and life transitions.

Have you become so accustomed to being there for everyone else that you’ve lost touch with what you need? Maybe you’re the dependable one, the problem solver, the woman who keeps everything together. But privately, you’re overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, struggling with relationships, or wondering when it will be your turn to feel supported. You don’t have to keep carrying everything alone. I’m Regina W. Hood, a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC), Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor (LPC-S), and Certified Dialectical Behavior Therapy (C-DBT) professional with more than 20 years of experience in mental health counseling. I work with women navigating anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties, self-esteem challenges, grief, emotional exhaustion, and major life transitions. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-informed practices, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). I believe therapy should be a space where you can show up honestly without feeling judged or pressured to have all the answers. Together, we will explore patterns that may be keeping you stuck, identify your emotional needs, strengthen healthy boundaries, and develop practical tools to support meaningful change. If you’re ready to make yourself a priority, I invite you to take the first step. I’d be honored to walk alongside you.

Healing with Compassion, Understanding, and Intention.

If you’re feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or caught in repeating patterns, you deserve gentle, effective support that truly helps... support that honors your experiences and helps you feel safer, steadier, and more confident over time. My clients find a warm, welcoming space where they can slow down, explore what’s fueling the stress, and begin to untangle the patterns that keep pulling them back. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a Bachelor’s in Family Services from Brigham Young University and a Master’s in Global Social Work from the University of Utah. I take a holistic, trauma-informed approach, integrating somatic-based work to help clients reconnect with their bodies and better understand how life experiences are held physically, emotionally, and neurologically. I have a deep respect for the complex layers that come with difficult or complicated backgrounds and create a space where clients can safely explore and process those experiences at their own pace. My clinical experience spans a variety of mental health settings, including treatment centers, hospitals, private practice, and resettlement programs. This breadth allows me to work with diverse populations and a wide range of concerns, always prioritizing safety, trust, and each client’s unique healing process. Outside of the office, I enjoy running, being in the sun, traveling with my husband, and finding meaningful ways to be involved in my community!

Therapy for overthinking, anxiety, and relationship patterns—so insight can become real change.

I’m Sarah St.Martin, LCSW, an anxiety and couples therapist in Salt Lake City, Utah. I work with thoughtful, self-aware adults and couples who understand their patterns but are tired of still feeling stuck in them. Many of the people I work with look calm, capable, and put together from the outside. They’re dependable, successful, thoughtful, and often the person everyone else turns to. But underneath that competence, there can be a lot of anxiety. Maybe you replay conversations long after they end, question your decisions, or spend more time than you’d like wondering whether someone is upset with you. You may struggle to rest without feeling guilty, say yes when you really want to say no, or feel responsible for keeping everyone around you okay. You know you’re overthinking. You know you’re people-pleasing. You may even understand exactly where those patterns came from. But knowing why you do something doesn’t always make it easier to stop. That’s where I believe therapy can become more than insight. My approach is warm, direct, and collaborative. I want therapy to help you understand yourself, but I also want that understanding to translate into your actual life: the boundary you finally set, the decision you make without polling everyone else, the moment you notice yourself starting to spiral and respond differently, or the conversation you approach with more confidence instead of fear. I also work with couples who love each other but keep getting pulled into the same painful cycle. Maybe one person pushes for connection while the other shuts down. Maybe small disagreements turn into much bigger arguments, or you’ve gradually become more distant and don’t know how to find your way back to each other. My couples work is informed by Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), an attachment-based approach that helps couples understand the patterns underneath their conflict and create greater emotional safety, trust, and connection. Rather than deciding who is right or wrong, we look at what happens between you and help both partners find new ways of reaching for one another. I also have a special interest in working with first responders and their partners. As the wife of a firefighter, I understand some of the unique rhythms first responder life can create: long shifts, disrupted routines, missed holidays, compartmentalizing, dark humor, and the way work can quietly follow someone home. While I don’t pretend to know firsthand what it is like to do the job, I offer a space where first responders and their partners don’t have to spend half the session explaining the culture before we can talk about how it is affecting them. Before becoming a therapist, I spent years as a professional ballet dancer and yoga instructor. Those experiences gave me a personal understanding of high-performing environments where discipline, perfectionism, achievement, and pushing through discomfort are often rewarded. They also taught me how easy it can be to lose touch with yourself while everything looks successful from the outside. Today, that experience shapes much of the work I do with high-achieving, over-functioning clients. I’m not interested in helping you become more productive, more impressive, or better at pushing through. I want to help you feel more grounded in who you already are. I earned my Master’s Degree in Social Work from Fordham University. I provide in-person therapy in Millcreek, just outside Salt Lake City, as well as secure virtual therapy throughout Utah. Outside of the therapy office, I love teaching yoga, lifting weights, cooking, trying new restaurants with my husband, taking long walks, and unwinding with a good reality show. At the heart of my work is a simple belief: you don’t need to become a different person to feel better. You may simply need help quieting the noise, trusting yourself more, and creating relationships with yourself and others that feel safer, more connected, and more sustainable.

For the overthinkers, people pleasers, and beautifully complicated humans.

Being human is weird. Relationships are messy. And sometimes your own brain is the most exhausting thing in the room. I help people make sense of themselves, break old patterns, and figure out what they actually want out of life. I'm warm, curious, pretty direct, and believe there's room for humor even in the hard stuff. We'll dig deep, ask better questions, and probably laugh at how ridiculous being a human on earth can be.

Helping people navigate relationships.

I work with individuals (ages 16+) and couples who want help navigating the complex relationships in their lives. Those tricky relationship might be with a spouse, a child, a parent, a boss, an entire community (the people at work; people at church), or within themselves (e.g., persistent emotions such as depression, anxiety, grief, anger, etc.). In the first session, I'll orient you to therapy (we'll talk about what you can expect of me), and I'll ask you a lot of questions about what you want. Once I have a grasp on what you want out of therapy, I'll lay out a road map of how you might get there. And then we go to work. I am a client centered therapist. My focus is on understanding and working with your experience, both in and outside of the therapy room. I believe we all respond better to non-judgmental curiosity, to compassion, and to clear, straightforward communication.

Empowering you to navigate trauma, anxiety, grief, and life transitions.

When you are carrying the weight of trauma, overwhelming anxiety, or the heavy grief of a major life transition, simply taking the first step toward healing can feel exhausting. Whether you are feeling stuck in your career, navigating a profound life change, or trying to process painful past experiences, you do not have to carry it alone. I help clients navigate these complex challenges by creating a safe, highly collaborative, and judgment-free space where you can truly be heard. Healing is not a one-size-fits-all process, and I believe in treating the whole person—mind and body. I have extensive training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and frequently use it alongside Internal Family Systems (IFS) and somatic (body-based) practices to help untangle past traumas and calm the nervous system. I also weave in Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) and Nonviolent Communication (NVC) to help you build practical tools for managing daily anxiety and understanding your own needs. Whether we are working through deep trauma, figuring out your next career steps, or finding grounding amidst grief, we will move at a pace that feels safe and respectful to you. Together, we can build a path toward resilience, clarity, and a deeper connection to yourself.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have 20 plus years of experience. My main focus is on improving relationships as a means of overcoming addictions, dealing with life’s challenges, managing depression and anxiety, and coping with mental health roadblocks.

My hope is that my clients can find the satisfaction that they long for in their relationships, and learn to manage life’s problems well.
