FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

A Community Outreach That is WORTH IT
WORTH IT counseling + coaching Expands Access and Awareness in Lehi, UT

Lehi, Utah – 09/31/2025 – WORTH IT counseling + coaching, a trusted mental health and wellness clinic based in Lehi, UT, is proud to announce its latest community outreach initiative aimed at expanding access to mental health services, and supporting individuals and families across Utah and Salt Lake Counties that have been affected by recent tragedies. 

With a name that reflects its core mission, WORTH IT counseling + coaching believes that everyone deserves the chance to heal, grow, and thrive—because every person is worth the investment in themselves.

As part of its outreach, the clinic is engaging in several community-focused efforts, including offering 20 free counseling sessions throughout October to members of the community directly affected by the recent targeted attack on a congregation of members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, in Michigan, a suicide of a Canyon View Middle School student, in Orem, and the shooting of Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University. 

Research consistently shows the importance of timely mental health support following a crisis:

  • According to the National Institute of Mental Health, up to 35% of individuals exposed to a traumatic event may develop symptoms of anxiety, depression, or PTSD.
  • A 2022 meta-analysis in The Lancet Psychiatry found that early psychological intervention significantly reduces long-term mental health issues in trauma survivors.
  • “Talking with a trained mental health professional can help people process emotions, reduce distress, and build coping skills,” suggests the CDC.

“We want to do our part to help our neighbors heal, and we wish we could help everyone affected,” said Aimee Mortensen, Owner and licensed therapist at WORTH IT counseling + coaching. “Being a boutique mental health clinic with highly skilled clinicians, we know our reach is limited—but our compassion is not. If you are feeling overwhelmed right now by fear, anxiety, or uncertainty, we urge you: talk to someone trained to help guide you through this.”

Located on the border of Salt Lake and Utah Counties, WORTH IT counseling + coaching offers individual, couples, and family therapy, as well as personalized consulting. With a team of dedicated therapists and consultants, the clinic specializes in anxiety, trauma, grief, loss, relationships, life transitions, and personal development. You can currently schedule same day appointments.
