Seven licensed clinicians / 60-minute sessions / $150 self-pay / Free 15-minute call
Our Story
A Provo practice built by clinicians who wanted therapy to feel steady, direct and human.
How we started
Healing Within Counseling was founded by Brian Austin, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and former Marine who spent 11 years in the Corps before turning to therapy. That background shaped how we work. Steady, direct and without judgment.
Where we are today
Today we are a team of seven licensed clinicians serving Provo and the surrounding valley. We see toddlers, children, teens, adults and older adults, and we work with individuals, couples and whole families.
How We Think About Healing
Pain, symptoms and coping behaviors are not viewed as defects here. They are intelligent responses to life experiences. When we start from that idea, therapy stops being about fixing what is broken and starts being about understanding what happened and building what comes next.
Start with what happened
We look at the experience underneath the symptom before we look at the symptom itself. That is usually where lasting change comes from.
Move at your pace
Nobody is pushed to talk about something before they are ready. Going slower early on tends to make the work go further.
Fit the method to you
The approach is chosen around your goals and your history, rather than fitting you into one model of therapy.
How We Work
Sessions run 60 minutes, in person at our Provo office, with telehealth across Utah from every clinician except Amy, who sees clients in person.

OUR PHILOSOPHY
The Philosophy of Healing Within
Healing Within is based on the belief that every person already carries an innate capacity for healing, growth, and restoration. Much like a plant knows how to grow toward light once given the right conditions, the human nervous system knows how to move toward balance, safety, and wholeness when it is supported rather than forced.
Pain, symptoms, and coping behaviors are not viewed as defects, but as intelligent responses to life experiences. Anxiety, depression, trauma responses, and disconnection are understood as signal messages from the body and mind that something needs attention, safety, or care. Rather than trying to suppress these experiences, Healing Within emphasizes listening to them with curiosity and compassion.
At the core of this philosophy is the idea that lasting change does not come from fixing or overriding the self, but from creating the internal conditions where healing can naturally occur. Therapy becomes a collaborative process of helping clients reconnect with their inner resources, regulate their nervous system, and develop trust in their own capacity to heal.
“Medicine is found in plants, yet healing comes from within them; when a person turns inward, wounds naturally transform into peace.”
