What Sets Sovegna Apart: Gentle, Outcomes‑Focused Mental Health Services in Salt Lake City

Powerpoint slide with the words Mental Health Awareness Month

Mental Health Awareness Month is an invitation to stop, relax, and select the support that fits in your life. At Sovegna, we are convinced that compassionate care and quantifiable results can and must co-exist. If you're exploring mental health services in Salt Lake City, our mission is simple: make getting high-quality help feel clear, collaborative, and doable from day one.

Why People Choose Sovegna

Starting mental health services in Salt Lake City can feel overwhelming. We eliminate the guesswork by doing a streamlined, considerate therapist matching and a plan of care that fits your plans. With the initial assessment, we are working on what relief means to you, whether it is better sleep, fewer panic attacks, stronger boundaries, or fewer intrusive memories. And we monitor this to help you feel that you are healing.

What sets Sovegna apart:

  • Evidence-based treatments and medical services under a single roof.

  • Efficient care plans for anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, and burnout.

  • Accessible options: In-person or online

  • A focus on cultural humility, trauma-informed care, and safety.

Our Integrated Services

  • Therapy and Counseling: We have licensed therapists who offer individual, couples and family, as well as group therapy, relying on CBT, ACT, DBT-informed skills, exposure therapy and trauma-informed therapy.

  • EMDR for Trauma and Recovery: In the case of distress related to traumatic memories, EMDR may quicken recovery by reprocessing traumatic memories in a safe, structured manner.

  • Integrative Psychiatry: Cautious prescribing which takes into consideration the entire individual, such as sleep, nutrition, hormones, movement, and stress, in addition to medication where necessary.

  • TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation): A non-invasive, FDA-approved for treatment-resistant depression, which involves circuitry in the brain related to mood.

  • Ketamine‑Assisted Therapy: Ketamine-assisted therapy combines medicine and psychotherapy to facilitate neuroplasticity and deeper processing for clients with depression, anxiety, or PTSD.

  • Addiction Recovery Medicine: Non-judgmental, evidence-based care with medication-assisted treatment (MAT), relapse prevention planning, and co-occurring condition integrated therapy.

  • Recovery for Professionals: Discreet, behavior-focused care for health care workers, executives, first responders, educators and other high-accountability professions.

If you're searching for mental health services in Salt Lake City that combine therapy, psychiatry, and specialty care, Sovegna offers coordinated solutions designed around you.

How We Personalize Your Care

When you first come into Sovegna, we get to know your goals, history, and preferences before we create a treatment plan that makes sense for you. We establish specific milestones and apply short-term, evidence-based indicators to monitor the progress. When one approach does not work, we make changes to modality, frequency, or adjunct options to keep the care responsive and effective.

For many clients, a blended approach is ideal. For example:

  • Anxiety and burnout: Skills-forward therapy, sleeping and boundary procedures and, in some cases, temporary medicine through integrative psychiatry.

  • Trauma and PTSD: EMDR treatment using supportive therapy; ketamine-assisted therapy may be considered in the case of prolonged symptoms.

  • Depression that hasn’t responded to medication: A TMS consultation and continuation of psychotherapy.

  • Substance use recovery: Relapse prevention therapy and accountability using medications and professional services.
