We have loved going to Wasatch Family Therapy. My young daughter has had a lot of trauma due to her medical issues. It has been hard to find anyone that can help her. We were referred to Claire by a family member and it has made such a huge difference! Claire, through play therapy, has been able to get my daughter to talk about and workout many of issues she had been trying to hide. I would highly recommend Claire and Wasatch Family Therapy to anyone.
