Hi, there! My name is Tamra Priestley and I am a clinical mental health counselor (CMHC) living in Utah. I am also a Life Coach, specializing in the essentials of self-mastery, and relationships. It is my passion to help people have successful relationships, first with themselves, and then with others. It has been a joy to help those who are seeking to learn skills necessary for successful relationships! Most people just don’t know how! I have also been privileged to help many individuals overcome the devastating effects of anxiety and depression. I experienced this devastation myself and no longer suffer from those emotions. I want to help you learn how to live more peaceful, productive, and happy lives. I have also worked with many individuals who have experienced pain from trauma and abuse in all the ways that can happen. This leads to lack of motivation, poor self-esteem, lack of confidence, depression and anxiety. Trauma and abuse may affect every part of your life until healing occurs. I want to help you heal those parts of your past.
My experience includes working in three private practices (now my own) and for a company providing services to their employees, including first responders and law enforcement and their families. I have worked with the elderly experiencing end-of-life issues. I love working with people from all walks of life. Each person is so important! Drawing from my own experiences as a single parent, a son who has several challenges, adoption, divorce, abuse, and many other experiences helps me to utilize my professional training in a way that is personal and effective. I believe in homework that helps you grow beyond the sessions.
I welcome the opportunity to help you in your current challenges to find meaning and purpose, learn new skills, and experience a healed and happier life!

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Helpful & Supportive.
Tamra has been a great listener and therapist. She has so many great strategies to help. I have loved seeing her
I love Tamra so much.
Tamra is a wonderful therapist and I am lucky to have her guide me.
I am so grateful to have found Tammy as my therapist. She has been absolutely amazing in helping me navigate and manage my anxiety. Tammy's expertise and compassionate approach have made a world of difference in my life. She creates a safe and welcoming space for me to express my thoughts and emotions without judgment. Tammy's guidance and practical strategies have empowered me to confront my anxiety head-on and develop effective coping mechanisms. Her dedication and genuine care for my well-being are truly commendable. I cannot recommend Tammy enough for anyone seeking a therapist who is not only knowledgeable but also truly invested in their clients' mental health journey. Thank you, Tammy, for your incredible support and for making such a positive impact on my life!
Working with Tammy has been life changing. She is compassionate, understanding, and so good about supporting me with real skills. I am more at peace with myself now than I ever have been.
I love Tamra, she is someone who gives me tools to better my life. I enjoy the conversations her and I have. I have been to alot of therapy over the years and I appreciate the fresh understanding and perspective she provides.
Working with Tamra has been such a healing experience. She's given me practical tools to use every day that have helped me approach life in healthier ways. Strongly recommend her!
Coming from another licensed therapist, Tamra is excellent at what she does! I've had three sessions with her so far and she is already teaching me so much that I've been able to pass on to my own clients as I also heal. I'm so grateful I was assigned to her!
She has been extremely helpful , has given me tools and processes to help with my anxiety and depression as well as coming to closure with things from my past . I recommend Tamra very much!
Great therapist! Listens, provides solutions, is patient and follows up on our action plan. Helped me tremendously.
Tamra has been so great. She has taught me valuable skills to think and believe in myself that I can use for the rest of my life.
Tamra has been great. She listens well, gives a amazing feedback and tools to overcome obstacles. I’ve seen some therapist before and she is the best one so far. I would highly recommend her.
She's awesome!
She is great at validating my feelings and is encouraging me to become proactive in finding solutions to better my mental health.
Tamra gave me some major observations and suggestions within about 15 minutes of hearing my story. Spot on, revolutionary revelations and got me thinking about other aspects of my life with at least an attempted different perspective.
I have struggled to understand what my anger does to my spouse for 8+ years now and only now Tamra has made me think clearly on how it affects my spouse and what it does to her. She has helped me look at things in a different perspective and is continuing to work on helping me find more ways to cope with different situations. I highly recommend Tamra Priestly if you’re ever looking for a great therapist.
