Blythe Utz, MFT-A
Blythe Utz, M.S. is a Marriage and Family Therapy Associate with the Center for
Transformative Healing. She is currently accepting relational clients (i.e., couples and families)
for telehealth only.
Clients work with Blythe to cultivate emotional balance and resilient relationships, improve
intimacy and communication, increase self-trust, and build a toolbox of practices, skills, and
resources to address challenges such as anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, parenting
and caregiver challenges, trust issues, emotional reactivity, dissociation, chronic pain, and life
stage transitions. She provides a holistic (body, heart, mind, and spirit), collaborative, safe, and
consent-guided therapy space for clients; self-exploration and healing.
Blythe works with several evidence-based treatments including narrative, somatic, attachment,
and internal family systems (IFS) therapies. Areas of specialty include helping clients develop or
increase emotional literacy, emotional intelligence, and self-compassion; recover from relational
trauma in childhood; reclaim themselves from the lingering harms of sexual abuse, assault, and
degradation; and heal from narcissistic relationships (families of origin, partnerships, etc.).
Blythe’s goal is for therapy to be a place for respite and repair for clients. A place to unfurl, be
raggedy, and feel welcomed however you are on any given day. Therapy won’t always be easy,
of course, and Blythe believes that the therapeutic process should be restorative, connecting, and
nourishing even while digging deep into the hard things.
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, and a graduate
certificate in ecopsychology from Pacifica Graduate Institute. She is working toward licensure
under the supervision of Emily Johnson, LMFT. In her free time, Blythe enjoys writing, making
music, and learning from nature on her teeny-tiny homestead.
