Vanessa Zito - Clinical Mental Health Counselor (CMHC)

Certification: I am a certified Clinical Mental Health Counselor (CMHC). This means I have earned my board certification, which requires I meet the highest requirements in education, examination, supervision, experience, and ethics. As a result, I can offer the highest standards of practice in clinical mental health and you can be assured that I am a highly-skilled professional able to provide flexible therapy to meet your needs.

Advanced Clinical Training: I recently completed the 2 year Certificate Program in Object Relations Theory and Practice through the International Psychotherapy Institute in Washington, DC. I value life-long learning to stay current with the most recent trends and research in psychotherapy. I am currently enrolled in the Psychodynamic Psychotherapy Program also through the International Psychotherapy Institute and sit on the Steering Committee of the Psychotherapy Action Network.

Location: I am licensed in Utah and based in the south end of the Salt Lake Valley. I am available for both tele-therapy and in-person appointments. I am an especially convenient option for those seeking a therapist in Draper, Sandy, Riverton, South Jordan, Bluffdale, Lehi, or Alpine.
