Kari Done earned her Master of Social Work from Utah State University and holds a bachelor's degree in Marriage and Family Studies from Brigham Young University-Idaho. She works with children, teens, adults, couples, and families experiencing anxiety, trauma, difficult emotions, relationship challenges, and life transitions.
Kari believes therapy should feel safe, welcoming, and sometimes even fun. She frequently works with children and uses play, creative activities, and sand tray therapy to help them express feelings that may be difficult to put into words. She also enjoys helping clients better understand themselves, build on their strengths, and learn practical tools they can use outside of therapy.
Kari uses a strengths-based, trauma-informed approach and draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART). She is also Gottman Level 1 trained, has completed an Emotionally Focused Therapy externship, and has additional training in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for children.
As a mother, former foster parent, and post-adoptive parent, Kari brings both professional knowledge and personal understanding to her work. She values trust, connection, and meeting each client where they are. Kari feels honored to walk alongside individuals and families as they work toward healing, stronger relationships, and greater confidence in themselves.
Kari sees clients at our Lehi office and throughout Utah via telehealth.
