Information about Psychotherapy

Services for adults

Dr. Rector practices in Salt Lake City, Utah at Intermountain Healthcare's Cottonwood Psychiatry and Counseling clinic. He understands that the central helping factor in psychotherapy is a relationship of warmth, trust, and acceptance between therapist and client. This foundation makes a successful outcome much more likely.

Dr Rector's theoretical orientation is largely East/West integrative with emphases in acceptance & commitment therapy (ACT), mindfulness/meditation practices, existential psychotherapy, and cognitive/behavioral therapy (CBT).
With well over twenty years experience providing clinical services in a university setting, he has worked with clients suffering from a wide range of psychotherapeutic challenges such as anxiety disorders, depression, LGBTQ adjustment challenges, men's issues, learning disabilities, crises of faith, body-image/eating disorders, histories of abuse/trauma, addictions, and personality disorders. He has also treated many clients struggling with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) in a group format using exposure with response prevention (ERP).

​Dr. Rector has provided clinical services in a variety of settings, including public schools, city/county residential mental health centers, outpatient mental health clinics, a private psychiatric hospital, private psychiatric practices, and a United States federal prison.

If you live in the greater Salt Lake area, and would be interested in setting up an appointment, please contact his office staff at 801-233-4200. Wait times can vary from a few weeks to a few months for intake appointments.
