SLC Therapist and EMDR Therapist Utah
Christy Kobe, LCSW, CCTP’s Blog Articles
Offering both in-person sessions and online therapy as a Utah Therapist
SLC Therapist Christy Kobe, LCSW, introducing Bookkeeper Melanie Queen
As a Salt Lake City therapist, I spend my days helping women slow down, listen to themselves, and untangle the layers of stress that quietly build up over time. Anxiety, burnout, relationship issues, and trauma do not occur in isolation. They are often entangled with practical pressures like finances, work demands, and the mental load of running a business. These pressures are on top of parenting and caregiving responsibilities, household responsibilities, nurturing and maintaining important relationships, and the needs to take care of your own physical and mental health.
That is why I am writing these blog articles highlighting Salt Lake City professionals who genuinely support women in ways that create more space to breathe, heal, and live with intention. Today, I am excited to introduce you to Melanie Queen, the owner of Queen of Bookkeeping, a Salt Lake City area bookkeeping and fractional CFO service created specifically for women in business.
SLC Therapist Christy Kobe, LCSW, introducing Heidi Westfall, CEPA, CPFA, Wealth Advisor for Women
As a Salt Lake City therapist, I love collaborating with other professionals who also specialize in working with women and focus on doing exceptional work.
So, I’m pleased to introduce you to Heidi Westfall, who I believe is doing important, empowering work. Heidi is the founder of RTI Wealth Management, based in Salt Lake City, Utah.
What stands out to me about Heidi is that she is passionate about supporting women’s financial independence, clarity and confidence. She provides an individually-tailored process to meet you where you are and take you to where you want to be. Her intention is to hold space for you as her client.
As a wealth advisor, Heidi says her greatest joy comes from helping people—especially women, business owners, and families—to build stable, long-term wealth that honors their values and ambitions. Her mission is more than numbers: it’s about helping you make confident financial decisions so you and your life can flourish.
SLC Therapist Christy Kobe, LCSW, Introducing Nevin Alderman, CMHC, Couples Counseling in Utah
As a Salt Lake City therapist, I value connecting with professionals who show up with presence, skill, and genuine integrity. I pay attention to how therapists make people feel, how they communicate, and the care they bring into their work. It’s not often that I meet another therapist who is also exceptionally present, mindful, ethical, and dedicated, so when I do, I don’t take it for granted and I make a connection with them.
Nevin Alderman, who is the Owner and Director of Renew Relationship Counseling and does couples counseling in Utah, is one of those clinicians. In every interaction I have had with him, he has shown a deep commitment to helping people feel seen, understood, valued, and safe. I want to introduce him because the work he does with couples in Utah is so intentional and clear in how it supports their relationships in times of stress or disconnection.
