Coaches
At Finding You Therapy Programs, we believe each employee helps define the quality of our programs. We are committed to finding, training, and supporting a team dedicated to collaboration and change. To truly help individuals, we must also be invested in achieving our own whole-health and doing our own work. Our team embodies these values, fostering an environment of continuous growth and holistic well-being to ensure we provide the highest level of support and care to those we serve. All of our coaches operate with a trauma-informed, attachment-based approach, rooted in the understanding that our early relationships shape how we connect with ourselves and others. Through a lens of self-discovery, our coaches guide clients to explore their inner world with compassion, curiosity, and acceptance. While each coach brings unique expertise and experience, they all provide valuable insights and tools to foster healthy relationships—with others and with oneself. With a FInding You coach, we offer the support needed to help clients connect to their inner knowing. We are not the experts in your truth; we are experts in creating the space for you to discover your truth.

Brad Reedy, Ph.D.
Partner & Coach
-
Prior to founding Finding You Therapy Programs, Dr. Brad Reedy served for more than 25 years as a Co-owner and Clinical Director of Evoke Therapy Programs. While at Evoke, he created Finding You Intensives, an attachment-based, experiential therapeutic intensive program that helps participants to connect their past to their current questions and issues. Finding You Intensives offer a springboard into therapy for those new to the journey, and for those already on their therapy journey, these programs offer participants an accelerator and compliment to their work.
-
Brad's therapeutic philosophy is deeply rooted in the transformative concept of the Hero's Journey, as highlighted by Joseph Campbell. This framework not only illustrates epic narratives but also mirrors the profound psychological transformations that individuals experience. In Brad's practice, therapy is seen as a sacred space. Therapy serves as a container where clients' stories, pains, and hopes are held and honored, facilitating deep healing through being truly heard and understood.
Each client's journey in therapy involves confronting fears, examining old wounds, and ultimately embracing profound changes. Brad emphasizes that these changes go beyond mere behavioral adjustments, representing a fundamental transformation of consciousness. This process is often so significant that it resembles the mythological motifs of death and rebirth, symbolizing a complete renewal of the self.
Brad's approach embraces the understanding that the journey itself is the most crucial aspect of therapy. He believes that while specific answers or outcomes may initially motivate the therapeutic quest, the journey often reveals much deeper insights and growth. Through his practice, Brad helps clients uncover their true selves, develop a deeper compassion for others, and understand their place in the world, returning from their personal odysseys with new stories of healing and transformation.
-
In his personal life, Brad likes spending time with family and friends traveling, taking in the beauty of Utah, discussing art and philosophy, and hiking. He loves live music and theatre and learning to play the guitar. He is an avid sports fan and loves to attend games at stadiums and arenas when he travels.
