The Common Thread Collective is a psychiatric and mental health practice based in Salt Lake City, Utah, offering medication management, therapy-informed psychiatric care, ketamine-assisted treatment support, groups, and integrative mental health services.

We specialize in supporting adults navigating life's most meaningful and challenging seasons, including serious illness, caregiving, grief, burnout, anxiety, depression, trauma, and major life transitions. Our approach combines evidence-based psychiatric care with a deep appreciation for the emotional, relational, and existential experiences that shape our lives.

We work with adults from all backgrounds and walks of life.

Our primary areas of expertise include:

• Individuals living with cancer and other serious medical conditions

• Family members, caregivers, and care partners

• Healthcare professionals experiencing burnout, compassion fatigue, grief, or moral distress

These populations represent the communities we know especially well through years of clinical experience and specialized training.

At the same time, many of our clients do not fit into any of these categories. We also work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relationship challenges, grief, burnout, identity exploration, and personal growth.

You do not need a cancer diagnosis, caregiving role, or healthcare background to receive care here.

The name reflects a simple belief - while our stories may differ, there are common threads that connect us all.

We all encounter uncertainty, change, joy, loss, hope, resilience, and the search for meaning. Whether someone is facing cancer, caring for a loved one, working in healthcare, grieving a loss, navigating a life transition, or simply seeking greater well-being, many of the challenges we face are deeply human and universally shared.

The Common Thread Collective exists to create a space where people can feel seen, supported, and connected as they navigate their unique journeys.

We provide support for a wide range of concerns, including:

• Anxiety

• Depression

• Trauma and PTSD

• Stress and overwhelm

• Burnout

• Insomnia

• Health-related anxiety

• Grief and bereavement

• Caregiver strain

• Relationship challenges

• Life transitions

• Existential distress

• Emotional challenges related to serious illness

Our goal is not only symptom reduction but also helping people build resilience, strengthen relationships, clarify values, and reconnect with what matters most.

Integrative psychiatry combines traditional psychiatric treatment with a broader understanding of mental health and wellness.

Depending on an individual's needs, this may include discussions about:

• Comprehensive lab assessments

• Sleep

• Nutrition

• Physical health

• Stress management

• Lifestyle habits

• Social connection

• Personal values and goals

Medication can be an important tool, but it is often only one part of a larger healing process.

Many mental health practices focus primarily on diagnosis and symptom management.

At The Common Thread Collective, we believe mental health care should address the whole person. We also believe there is immense value in having a proactive versus a reactive approach when things start to feel hard. We recognize that emotional well-being is influenced by physical health, relationships, work, purpose, identity, spirituality, community, and life experience.

Our approach integrates:

• Psychiatric medication management

• Therapy-informed care

• Integrative psychiatry principles

• Meaning-centered approaches

• Trauma-informed care

• Lifestyle and wellness considerations

• Community connection and resilience-building

We strive to provide care that is both clinically grounded and deeply human.

One of our primary areas of specialty is supporting individuals and families impacted by cancer.

We help clients navigate:

• New diagnoses

• Treatment-related anxiety

• Emotional adjustment

• Fear of recurrence

• Survivorship concerns

• Caregiver stress

• Grief and loss

• Meaning and identity after illness

We provide cancer support, psycho-oncology-informed care, and mental health support for cancer patients, survivors, and families throughout Utah.

Caregiving can be deeply meaningful, but it can also be emotionally, physically, and mentally exhausting.

We support caregivers who may be experiencing:

• Stress and overwhelm

• Burnout

• Anxiety

• Guilt

• Compassion fatigue

• Anticipatory grief

• Difficulty balancing personal needs with caregiving responsibilities

Whether you are caring for a spouse, parent, child, friend, or family member, you deserve support too.

Yes.

Healthcare professionals face unique stressors that can contribute to burnout, compassion fatigue, grief, moral distress, and emotional exhaustion.

We provide a confidential space for physicians, nurses, advanced practice providers, therapists, social workers, chaplains, and other healthcare professionals seeking support.

Many healthcare workers appreciate working with someone who understands the realities of caring for others while trying to care for themselves.

Yes.

We provide comprehensive psychiatric evaluations and ongoing medication management for adults experiencing a variety of mental health concerns.

Treatment recommendations are individualized and based on each person's symptoms, goals, history, values, and preferences.

Yes.

While The Common Thread Collective is a psychiatric practice, our approach goes beyond medication management alone. Many appointments incorporate therapeutic conversations, emotional support, and evidence-based interventions designed to help individuals navigate life's challenges and move toward meaningful change.

Our work is informed by approaches such as:

• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

• Meaning-Centered Psychotherapy

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

• Supportive psychotherapy

• Mindfulness-based practices

• Existential and values-based approaches

Some clients seek medication management as part of their care, while others are looking for a provider who can integrate both psychiatric expertise and therapeutic support within the same relationship.

For individuals who desire more intensive or specialized psychotherapy, we are also happy to collaborate with outside therapists and other members of a client's care team.

Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, burnout, caregiving, serious illness, grief, or a major life transition, our goal is to provide care that is thoughtful, collaborative, and focused on the whole person—not just symptoms.

Yes.

We offer ketamine-related psychiatric services for appropriate candidates, including evaluation, preparation, monitoring, and integration support.

Ketamine treatment may be considered for individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma-related symptoms, existential distress, or emotional suffering that has not responded to traditional treatments.

Recommendations are made on an individual basis following a comprehensive evaluation.

Yes.

We provide secure telehealth appointments for adults located throughout Utah.

Telehealth can be especially helpful for individuals balancing treatment schedules, caregiving responsibilities, work demands, transportation challenges, or busy lives.

You may be a good fit if you are looking for mental health care that is:

• Compassionate and collaborative

• Whole-person focused

• Grounded in both science and humanity

• Supportive of personal growth and resilience

• Interested in meaning, values, relationships, and purpose—not just symptom management

Whether you're facing anxiety, depression, burnout, grief, caregiving challenges, serious illness, healthcare-related stress, or simply seeking greater clarity and well-being, we welcome you.
