Addressing the Mental Health Needs of Salt Lake City

Salt Lake City, like many urban areas, faces unique mental health challenges. One example being seasonal affective disorder (SAD), where during the winter months residents can exacerbate feelings of depression and anxiety. A 2022 survey by the Kaiser Family Foundation revealed that nearly 36% of Utah adults with anxiety or depression symptoms couldn't access needed counseling or therapy, a rate higher than the national average of 28%.

RMC Counseling recognizes these challenges and strives to bridge the gap by offering accessible, evidence-based therapeutic services. Our team of skilled therapists is equipped to address a wide range of mental health concerns, ensuring that clients receive personalized and effective care.

Client-Centered Approach

Our blog serves as a platform to disseminate valuable information, raise awareness about mental health issues, and reduce stigma. By addressing topics such as the role of therapist interns and the potential of psychedelics in treatment, we contribute to a broader understanding of mental health care.

We work closely with other healthcare providers, community organizations, and support systems to ensure comprehensive care for their clients.
