About Rodney
Rodney "Rod" Mayes is a licensed marriage and family therapist with three decades of clinical experience. He earned a master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Colorado State University in 1993 and has practiced in Utah since. Rod works with people who face depression, anxiety, relationship strain, and career stress. He also helps those dealing with adoption and foster care histories and other family-related issues.
Rod takes a warm, interactive approach in sessions. He treats people with respect and compassion and avoids stigmatizing labels. Conversations are tailored to individual needs so therapy fits each person’s situation rather than following a rigid script.
In practice he uses several methods to help people change unhelpful patterns and move toward chosen goals. He focuses on strategies to build a future identity instead of being stuck in the past. Sessions often involve looking at current thoughts and behaviors and trying small, concrete changes.
Rod has worked with adolescents who have struggled with pre-adoption trauma and with adults facing trauma and emotional abuse. He also addresses concerns like control issues, forgiveness, guilt, infidelity, and loneliness. His experience includes helping people handle midlife transitions and financial stress.
Rod believes starting therapy takes courage and sees his role as a supportive guide. He has written a book called "From Someday to Success" about making lasting change, and he offers a collaborative space to set practical goals and take steady steps toward them.
