Shawn Hazen – LCSW

Shawn Hazen holds a Master’s of Social Work and a Bachelor’s in Psychology from the University of Utah, as well as an Associate’s degree from Salt Lake Community College. With a deep commitment to trauma-informed care, Shawn brings a compassionate, client-centered approach to therapy, offering a safe and supportive space for healing and growth.

Shawn has extensive experience working with children, adolescents, and adults who have experienced trauma. He is trained in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) and is EMDR certified, using these evidence-based modalities to help clients process and move through difficult life experiences.

His clinical focus includes trauma, depression, anxiety, LGBTQ+ concerns, life and faith transitions, family dynamics, and couples work. Drawing from a variety of approaches—including Emotion-Focused Therapy, DBT, Internal Family Systems (IFS), mindfulness-based practices, somatic techniques, and EMDR—Shawn tailors therapy to meet each client’s unique needs and goals.

He works with adults, adolescents, couples, families, LGBTQ+ individuals, and aging populations. With a holistic and curious mindset, Shawn supports clients in reconnecting with themselves, fostering resilience, and building meaningful change.

Outside the therapy room, Shawn finds joy in connecting with loved ones outdoors, where nature and movement serve as vital sources of renewal. He values ongoing learning and self-reflection through reading, writing, and community engagement, and believes that music is a powerful form of expression—always on the lookout for the perfect song to match any moment.
