About me

Hello there!

Thank you for taking the time to read my profile page. Being a support to couples working through relationship struggles is a passion in my life! I enjoy listening to couples and helping them to find a way through tough times. My experience includes a Master's Degree of Social Work from the University of Utah and now, I fulfilled my dream with a Doctorate too! For almost 20 years, I have worked in child and family services. Currently, I counsel the chronically ill on end of life decisions, work in researching foster teens transition from foster care, counsel couples, and individuals, and teach at a local university. I also have a small private practice where I help men and women in tough transitions such as divorce and family issues.

In my clinical practices and experiences, I have had the privilege of helping families overcome struggles with teens are struggling through issues of adolescence and mental health problems. Parents sometimes believe that they are the only parents going through tough with teens. I enjoy supporting parents in the journey as hard as it might be sometimes. Also, I have a passion for helping those navigating a new life in sobriety. Addiction recovery is one of the bravest things that I have seen people overcome and I like to help people stay on the path of recovery. All my clinical practice incorporates cognitive behaviors strategies with a very positive Rogerian approach. Those I treat will be treated with respect and clearly set boundaries.

I want to help others by starting to help them where they want to begin. I believe in my couples I help and I want them to be happy and successful in their relationships . I can help my couples by setting goals, open communication and unconditional positive regard to help with hard life situations. I counsel a lot of couples who have struggled with infidelity and polyamorous and open relationships. I wish you the best on your journey and hope to have the chance to help you!

Dr. Terri Nicole Sawyer, LCSW

Dr Terri is the best!!!! I'm so grateful to Regain for this platform and for Dr Terri's time. I understand she is leaving Regain because of the time commitments. I hope that Regain analyses her exit comments and can review the number of hours the therapists are working to not burn them out.

Dr. Sawyer is not only knowledgeable, she is also approachable. It’s like sharing with a friend who supports and encourages you with tips along the way. She has been able to help me see my hurts and triggers, allowing me to view my marriage and other relationships in a new light.

Dr Sawyer is amazing. The technology is spotty

Written on Feb 06, 2022 after therapy with Terri for 7 months on issues concerning relationship

I didn't know what to expect or even what I was doing when I signed up for therapy and I was assigned Dr. Sawyer she has been so understanding so compassionate about everything I was going through. She listened to every concern every crazy thought that went through my head she helped me with setting boundaries and realizing triggers that interfered with my healing. She challenged me to dig deeper, beyond the hurt I was feeling and helped me find myself again. I cannot thank her enough for every laugh she shared with me every tear every tough question because without her listening and understanding I would still be stuck in that dark place I was months ago. She is exceptional and I would recommend her to anyone struggling. So Thank you Dr. Sawyer (cousin) you are a light in this sometimes dark world and I am forever grateful for you.

Dr. Sawyer is the most perceptive and understanding therapist I've worked with. Her compassion and ability to see the root of issues, problems, stumbling blocks is way above what I've experienced with other therapists. I have made progress and seen improvements in my marriage and in myself because of her talents. I have already recommended her to 2 friends.

Totally amazing. She has helped me in so many ways in just a short period of time. Always has a way to look at something from a different perspective than I can see. Her help is allowing me to realize that which I could not and its allowing for me to make the changes I've wanted to for so long but was unsure in what way to do so.
