  • Care Coordination
  • Mental Health
  • Tuberculosis (TB) Control

Refugee Services Office Licensed Clinical Therapists

The Licensed Clinical Therapist (LCT) Team offers mental health services, resources and general support to help refugees stabilize and rebuild their lives here in Utah. LCTs work with refugees to overcome the many barriers they face so they can integrate smoothly into Utah’s community. Interventions may include direct intervention, arbitration, training, psycho-education, mental health treatment, referral to external service providers, and coordination with providers.
