ANNA WHISLER

Co-owner and founder of Family Solutions Counseling

Pronouns: she/her/hers

As a co-founder of Family Solutions Counseling, my goal was to establish a practice that serves under-served populations in our community. We live in a beautiful area geographically, and the people here are typically kind, caring, and family and religion-oriented. That being said, those that do not feel they fall into the majority groups that exist locally often feel disconnected from this community at best, or devalued at worst. As the parent of two LGBT children, it was important to me that there exists a safe environment to serve this population. When we opened our practice in 2017, we primarily served people who identify as “ex-Mormon” or LGBTQIAP+ . We continue to serve these populations and provide annual charitable contributions to local LGBT groups. As we’ve continued to grow, we’ve recognized the need to be more inclusive of everyone in our community as mental health, family, or addiction challenges touch every family in some way. We’ve selected therapists in our practice with a varied spectrum of life experiences, personal and religious beliefs, clinical experience, education and certifications. We know you’ll find someone here you can feel comfortable working with to become your best self. Our entire administration team is very invested in making sure each client who enters our practice feels comfortable, safe, and has a healing experience. Please reach out to us directly to share any feedback you may have for us.

TESSA ZIPPAY

Co-owner and Business Manager for Family Solutions Counseling
Pronouns: she/her/hers

As a dedicated member of the administrative team at Family Solutions Counseling, my goal is to ensure that every client has a successful and positive therapy experience. I understand that navigating therapy can bring up many questions, and I’m here to provide the answers and support you need.

You might wonder: What if my therapist isn’t the right fit? Do you accept my insurance? What are the costs of sessions? How can I better understand my treatment goals? What financial resources are available to help with payment? Whatever your concerns, I’m here to assist you every step of the way.

Beyond my role at FSC, I’m passionate about connecting with our community. I’ve been involved in suicide prevention initiatives, co-directed and assisted with the Logan Pride Festival, and volunteered in our local schools. Supporting both our clients and staff is my top priority.

Please don’t hesitate to reach out—I love hearing from our clients and am here to help make your therapeutic journey as smooth and rewarding as possible!

JAROD HUFFAKER

Co-owner and Supervisor of Family Solutions Counseling
Pronouns: he/him/his

After working several years in community mental health, child welfare, and medical social work, I began to develop a desire to shift my focus as a clinician. I wanted a career change. I felt I was unable to give people adequate time and dedication needed in working for corporate mental health organizations. I wanted to be able to help the individual, couple, and family on their terms. I wanted a change of pace to feel like I could truly make a difference in people’s lives; While also managing my own work and home life balance of being a father, husband, and pursuing my own passions in life. I found that thing at Family Solutions Counseling. This is a place I truly believe in! Family Solutions really focuses on this idea of being kind to yourself throughout this process, going at your pace, and having self-compassion. We have a team of clinicians who see people as people, and not just clients. We believe in the staff here and their abilities. You will be able to find a therapist that you can connect with even if that means switching therapists 2-3 times to find the best fit for you. This is your treatment and it’s okay to take ownership of your experience and feel empowered to make decisions that are best for you. Therapy is all about making the uncomfortable become more comfortable. Family Solutions is invested in this experience. It is the reason I pivoted in my career and am invested in helping others here at FSC. 

At Family Solutions Counseling, we are committed to providing a safe and welcoming environment for all clients. Our compassionate and dedicated owners prioritize equality and respect, creating a culture where clients feel supported and empowered to work towards their personal goals. From the moment you arrive, our friendly and supportive staff ensure your experience is comfortable and beneficial. Our team of diverse and experienced therapists are dedicated to providing evidence-based treatments tailored to meet each client's unique needs. We believe everyone deserves access to high-quality mental health care and take great pride in helping individuals and families overcome challenges and thrive, with our involved administration providing the highest level of care and support.
