Welcome to Trek Counseling

Michelle and Kaylem Arteaga founded Trek Counseling in July 2019 in response to Utah’s growing mental health concerns and the increasing need for accessible behavioral health services. Originally from Southern California, the Arteagas have been married for over 20 years and have raised their five children in Utah. Motivated by the mental health challenges impacting their community—particularly the shortage of available resources—they established Trek Counseling as a community outpatient mental health clinic dedicated to serving individuals and families, with a strong emphasis on adolescent and teen mental health. Since its founding, Trek Counseling has experienced significant growth and now operates several office locations across Utah County and Salt Lake County, serving as a trusted and essential mental health resource within the communities it supports.

"At Trek Counseling, we believe that life’s journey—while often challenging—is also meant to be meaningful and fulfilling. Every personal and family experience presents opportunities for growth, learning, and self-discovery. We view setbacks not simply as obstacles, but as valuable moments for reflection, resilience, and progress along one’s mental health journey. Recognizing that every individual’s path is unique, we are committed to providing support, guidance, and insight that empower individuals and families to navigate life’s challenges with strength, purpose, and hope."
