Laurin Sondergaard

As the founder and co-owner of Connections Family Wellness, I bring a systems-based approach to therapy that integrates medical and mental health care. My background includes specialized training in Medical Family Therapy, Maternal Mental Health, Child and Teen Diagnostics, Attachment, Play Therapy, and I’ve helped establish several collaborative pediatric clinics across Utah.

My work is deeply rooted in supporting women, children with special needs and their family members, families facing life transitions, OCD, attachment concerns, and relational stress. I’m passionate about promoting secure connections and fostering resilience through evidence-based, and trauma-informed care. I provide concierge sessions upon referral and on a case by case basis. I also offer supervision and training for clinicians across the state, with a strong focus on quality, integrity, and equity in mental health services.

Whether I’m working with a young child in play therapy or walking alongside an individual through a complex life season, my goal is always to create a space where people feel safe, respected, and empowered. I love this work and consider it a privilege to support healing, growth, and authentic connection in every stage of life.

Evan Ikerd

I believe that life is a journey—a continual process of becoming. Along the way, we can grow weighed down by expectations, pressures, and the belief that we’re falling short. Obstacles arise, and meaning can seem distant. Yet often, the answers lie within the journey itself. With awareness and the courage to stay curious, we can begin to reconnect with who we are and what we need.

I invite clients to view their experiences as guides toward growth and renewal. For those unsure of what therapy might uncover, I offer this reflection: when we step away from the “light pollution” and into the quiet darkness, the night sky reveals more stars than we imagined—reminding us of the vast beauty already within.

As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I help individuals, couples, and families strengthen their connection to themselves and to one another through evidence-based practices and a gentle integration of nature. I value each person’s cultural, spiritual, and creative background and often weave physical or artistic pursuits into therapy as pathways for deeper understanding.

I earned my Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Seattle Pacific University. Outside the therapy room, I enjoy hiking, birdwatching, photography, and just about any sport—especially baseball. I also love writing stories, exploring the lessons that connect us all, and cheering on my three boys and wonderful wife in their many adventures.

Jade Hurst

I’m a therapist committed to providing holistic, culturally sensitive care that honors each client’s unique background, identity, and lived experience. I specialize in trauma work and support individuals navigating the lasting impacts of childhood trauma, sexual trauma, domestic violence, betrayal trauma, and complex relational wounds. Whether in individual or group settings, I strive to create a grounded, supportive space where healing can unfold at your own pace.

With a deep understanding of how trauma, grief, and neglect affect present-day life and relationships, I help clients move toward greater emotional clarity, safety, and self-connection. I draw from evidence-based approaches including EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Trauma-Focused CBT, Narrative Therapy, DBT, and Family Systems to provide personalized care for concerns like PTSD, anxiety, depression, addiction, faith transitions, and self-worth or body image struggles.

My work is guided by compassion, curiosity, and a strong belief in each person’s resilience. I feel honored to walk alongside clients as they process pain, reconnect with their inner strength, and move toward lives that feel more peaceful, authentic, and empowered.

Alli Schenk

I’m a compassionate therapist who creates a grounded, supportive space for self-reflection, healing, and growth. My work is centered around helping children, adolescents, and adults navigate anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and life transitions with greater clarity and self-compassion. I also offer child play therapy and parent support, recognizing the importance of the family system in a child’s healing and development.

I approach therapy with curiosity, warmth, and collaboration, drawing from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), as well as trauma work. I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all method—each person’s healing journey is unique. Together, we’ll explore what’s getting in the way of living in alignment with your values, and work toward building resilience, insight, and meaningful change.

I am especially passionate about helping clients connect with their inner strengths, navigate emotions with greater ease, and develop practical tools that support long-term well-being. Whether you’re seeking relief from distress, support as a parent, or pursuing personal growth, I’m here to walk alongside you with compassion and intention, supporting you in creating a life that feels more authentic and aligned.

Clients: Adults, Teens

Miriam Allred

I’m a therapist dedicated to creating a warm, collaborative space where healing feels both possible and personal. I work with individuals who are ready to look inward—those navigating anxiety, trauma, self-doubt, or cycles they feel stuck in—and support them in building deeper self-trust, clarity, and connection.

My approach is rooted in the belief that healing isn’t about being “fixed,” but about returning to yourself with compassion and curiosity. I incorporate trauma-informed practices including EMDR, mindfulness, and self-compassion work, as well as skill-building strategies that support emotional regulation and resilience.

With a structured yet deeply relational style, I help clients break free from limiting beliefs and patterns that no longer serve them. I’m particularly passionate about the transformative process of self-discovery, and I hold space for clients to uncover their own wisdom and move forward with greater purpose and peace.

My work is guided by presence, empathy, and a strong belief in each person’s capacity to heal and grow. It’s an honor to walk alongside clients on this meaningful journey back to themselves.
