Center for Transpersonal Therapy Opened in Murray!

As you may or may not know, I am a psychology major at the U of U. Therefore, I am a believer in mental health resources. The term "health" encompasses all aspects--physical, mental and spiritual. Unfortunately, those who suffer from psychological disorders often don't seek treatment because of the stigma our society holds towards "shrinks". Many would suggest that you ignore, suppress and/or "get over" your issues.

Regardless of what you hear, there has been extensive scientific research performed resulting in evidence that shows psychological disorders are chemically expressed in brain function. They have nothing to do with personal "weakness" or "lack of ___________ ". If your chemicals are imbalanced, you are imbalanced. The only way to bring order back to a chemically imbalanced person is with medication. Also important to mention is that not all who suffer from psychological disorders have chemical imbalances. Sometimes negative past experiences leave a person traumatized and unable to function in a complete way. The way to treat this is with therapy. The most effective treatment for any psychological disorder is a combination of therapy and medication. No one should ever be medicated without regular doctor visitation.

Utah has high rates of depression, substance abuse and obesity. All of these affect the quality of life in our community. The Center for Transpersonal Therapy in Murray is a facility with qualified and experienced clinicians. I value their presence in our community, not only as an aspiring clinician, but as someone who has utilized therapy, I have seen firsthand the positive change that can be achieved when an individual decides to seek treatment for any issue they have.

I had the honor of being present at their open house and ribbon cutting. The facility is beautiful, comfortable and easy to locate on Fashion Boulevard.
