Michelle Hepworth

With over 18 years of experience as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Texas and Utah, I’ve dedicated my career to helping individuals, couples, and families transform their relationships from places of heavy stress to something more light and joyful space of deep love and connection. Whether you are navigating a difficult life transition, working to heal a fractured relationship, or trying to find your footing in a changing family dynamic, I am here to help you be successful. Play Therapy & Supporting Children Children process the world differently than adults, which is why I am so passionate about meeting them on their own level. I am currently pursuing advanced training to earn my Registered Play Therapist (RPT) credentials, allowing me to integrate intentional, experiential play therapy into my practice. Because play is a child's natural language, it serves as the perfect bridge to help younger clients process big emotions, heal from trauma, and build resilience. Together, we create a playful yet therapeutic space where your child will feel entirely safe, understood, and heard. How I Can Support Your Family My passion is guiding people through the beautiful, chaotic, and challenging chapters of life. I specialize in: Children & Teens: Supporting young children through play therapy, and empowering adolescents and young adults struggling with anxiety, depression, self-injury, navigating intrusive thoughts while additionally coping with everyday peer, social and stressful situations. Couples: Helping partners enrich their communication, connection and intimacy (physical and emotional) Families: Blend families smoothly, communicate and connect better and navigate life transitions of all kinds. Healing & Recovery: Supporting individuals and families through the grief of any loss, process trauma, and find your way through any other unexpected life change including divorce. My Background & Credentials Licensure: Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in Utah and Texas Education: Master of Arts in Counseling (Dallas Baptist University) Bachelor of Arts in Psychology (BYU–Hawaii) Specialization: Advanced training in Play Therapy principles; Experienced facilitator of the Enriching Marriage and Hold Me Tight curriculum. Let's Connect If you or your child are ready to take that next step toward healing and stronger connections, please know that you don't have to navigate it alone—I’m here for you. Finding the right therapist is a deeply personal choice, which is why I gladly offer a free 15-minute consultation. It’s a warm, no-pressure space for us to chat, answer any questions you might have, and see if we feel like the perfect fit for your family's journey. I truly look forward to talking with you very soon!
