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 offers telehealth only.

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.
