Getting to know Gretchen Faust

Often times, the hardest part about therapy is getting started. There can be many barriers to taking this step. I am so glad that you are here. I am eager to meet with you and assist you along your mental health journey. Whether you are seeking therapy for support during the highs and lows of life or if you are working through a painful experience, I am here to meet you where you are. I believe therapy should be collaborative and we can work together to identify your goals. Hello, my name is Gretchen Faust, and I am a Clinical Mental Health Counselor (CMHC) in the state of Utah. I hold a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. When working with individuals, I tend to take a holistic approach. This means diving into thought patterns, behaviors, relationships, and more. I enjoy working with a variety of groups of people and diagnosis. Some diagnoses that I have specialized in working with in the past are borderline personality disorder, anxiety disorders, depressive disorder, bipolar disorder, and adjustment disorders. I work with both teenagers and adults. I enjoy using dialectical behavior therapy in treatment with individuals. This theoretical orientation focuses on teaching skills of regulating emotions, tolerating distress, interpersonal skills, and mindfulness. It also comes with the belief that people are doing the best that they can in each given moment AND that we all want to be better/do better than our current selves. I also have training in EMDR. This is a trauma-specific intervention that can be conducted via telehealth. I use other theoretical orientations as well based on the needs of my clients. Note: Through Tava Health, you are able to see some identities that I hold. Please note that I am open to working with all people of all backgrounds, beliefs, ethnicities, etc.

I have had 2 therapists in the past who I could tell wouldn’t work for me, Gretchen is not one of them. She really listened and should interest and desire to help day 1 and I am looking forward to working with her.
