Kathi-Ann Busha, LCMHC

Kathi-Ann Busha is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in Utah with 6 years of experience supporting children, teens, and families through a wide range of emotional and life challenges. Her work commonly focuses on family conflict, the transition into adulthood, long-term depression, persistent anxiety, stress, and the impact of abuse and trauma.

She is EMDR-trained, a therapy approach that helps people process distressing experiences, and has worked with clients navigating sexual abuse and sexual trauma. Kathi-Ann also has experience supporting individuals with ADHD, those on the autism spectrum, and people who see themselves as “quirky,” helping them make sense of their experiences and build practical strategies for daily life.

Her counseling style is open and conversational, with an emphasis on helping clients view concerns from a new perspective. She often works with the stories people tell about themselves, aiming to shift meaning and increase clarity without changing the facts. Alongside this narrative-focused work, she incorporates skills that can reduce day-to-day distress, including mindfulness and meditation practices and techniques for changing unhelpful thought patterns. Her approach blends EMDR and Narrative Therapy techniques with DBT, CBT, and mindfulness skills in support of whole-body wellness.

Kathi-Ann recognizes that starting therapy and finding the right fit can feel daunting. She values the courage it takes to take that first step and aims to collaborate with clients as they face fears, understand patterns, and move toward the life they want to live.
