Erik Turley, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist

Getting help is no small ordeal and Erik is here to assist you in your path toward healing.

Erik obtained his Master of Science in Marriage and Family Therapy with distinction through Capella University and his Bachelor of Science in Marriage and Family Studies from Brigham Young University – Idaho.

Erik’s main interests surround trauma and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).

He integrates a variety of therapeutic interventions in his counseling practice, including techniques that focus on solutions, family dynamics, systemic approaches to family relationships, emotional regulation strategies, expressive writing therapies, trauma processing using bi-lateral stimulation like eye movements, internal family systems methods, value-oriented treatments, and so forth. Erik works with individuals, teens, young adults, couples, and families struggling with anxiety, depression, adjustment, intrusive thoughts, compulsivity, marital conflict, infidelity, trauma, life skills, launching into the world, and grief and loss. He also works with blended and multicultural families.

Erik was born and raised in Northern San Diego County, California. He and his family have been in Cedar City since 2021. His hobbies include learning languages, shooting at his county range, going outdoors, web design and development, PC gaming, and more. Like you, he understands the challenges life can bring and the difficulties working through them.
