Kathi-Ann Busha, LCMHC

Kathi-Ann Busha, LCMHC, is a Clinical Mental Health Counselor licensed in Utah who works with children, teens, and families. She supports clients navigating family conflict, the transition to adulthood, long-term depression, persistent anxiety, and everyday stress, as well as experiences of abuse and trauma. She is EMDR-trained and has worked with individuals impacted by sexual abuse and sexual trauma. Kathi-Ann also has experience working with clients with ADHD, clients on the autism spectrum, and those who describe themselves as quirky.

Her counseling style is open, conversational, and grounded in helping clients see their concerns from a new angle. She focuses on shifting the meaning of the stories clients tell about their experiences, without changing the facts, so that problems can feel more understandable and manageable. Alongside insight and perspective, she helps clients build practical skills for daily life, including mindfulness and meditation techniques and thought-changing strategies for moments of distress.

Kathi-Ann integrates EMDR and Narrative Therapy techniques with DBT, CBT, and mindfulness skills to support whole-body wellness. She recognizes that starting therapy and finding a therapist who feels like a good fit can be challenging, and she strives to make the process collaborative and supportive as clients begin facing fears, strengthening coping tools, and moving toward a life that feels more aligned with their goals.
