Connections Counseling- Trauma, Grief & Relationship Therapy in Syracuse, Utah


Welcome to Connections Counseling!


You Don’t Have to Do This Alone

Do you ever feel like parts of your past still control how you think, feel, or respond—no matter how hard you try to move on? Are you feeling disconnected, misunderstood, or constantly walking on eggshells in your closest relationships? Are you facing life transitions you never anticipated or chose? Do you hold yourself to impossible standards and find yourself falling short again and again?

If any of this sounds familiar, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to carry it all by yourself. Life is complex. Let’s face it together.

At Connections Counseling in Syracuse, Utah, we help individuals and couples move from surviving to thriving. Whether you’re struggling with trauma, grief, relationship conflict, anxiety, or depression, our goal is to help you find clarity, connection, and confidence in your life and relationships again.

We proudly serve clients throughout Layton, Roy, Clearfield, and Clinton, Utah, offering both in-person and telehealth therapy for accessible support.

Healing Is Possible—And You Don’t Have to Be “Broken” to Begin

While we can’t rewrite the past, we can work together to understand and heal what’s holding you back. Therapy provides a safe space to explore, process, and grow—with compassion, curiosity, and courage.
