Blythe Utz

Blythe Utz, M.S., is a Marriage and Family Therapist Associate with the Center for Transformative Healing under the supervision of  Emily Johnson, M.Ed., LMFT. *Blythe is no longer accepting clients.

Clients work with Blythe to cultivate emotional balance and resilient relationships, increase self-trust and authenticity, and build a toolbox of skills and resources to address life’s challenges. She specializes in recovery from the psychological and relational injuries of narcissistic family systems, middle-age-related transitions and changes, complex trauma, anxiety, and depression.

Blythe offers a holistic, collaborative, and attuned style of therapy that invites the body, emotions, and spirituality into the process. She works with several evidence-based treatments including narrative, existential, and internal family systems (IFS) therapies, and incorporates mindful self-compassion, contemplative practice, somatic inquiry, and metaphor in her primary interventions.

Blythe holds a master’s degree in couples and family therapy from the University of Oregon, a bachelor’s degree in interpersonal communication from Portland State University, a graduate certificate in ecopsychology from Pacifica Graduate Institute, and she is a trained and practiced meditator through Resolutions NW in Portland, OR. In her free time, Blythe enjoys writing, singing, laughing, and learning from nature on her teeny-tiny homestead.
