Rylee Hopkins

Rylee is currently pursuing a PhD in Counseling Psychology at Brigham Young University. Her dissertation focuses on gender differences in burnout, with an emphasis on understanding how individuals experience and cope with chronic stress.

During her graduate training, she has gained experience in biofeedback, supporting stress regulation and performance, which has shaped her interest in a more holistic approach to health and overall well-being. Prior to her doctoral training, she earned her Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Brigham Young University.

Rylee works to create a warm, supportive, and genuine space where people feel understood and respected. She believes that thoughts, emotions, and behaviors make sense within the context of personal experiences, and she helps clients build insight while developing more flexible and self-compassionate ways of responding to challenges.

Her approach emphasizes making space for difficult thoughts and emotions while continuing to move toward what matters most. She collaborates closely with clients to identify meaningful goals and take practical steps toward a more fulfilling, values-driven life.

Rylee brings a compassionate, down-to-earth presence to therapy, balancing support with gentle challenge and incorporating moments of humor to make the process feel more approachable. She often works with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, burnout, disordered eating, body image concerns, trauma, and issues related to the mind-body connection. She also welcomes clients experiencing a wide range of other concerns and life stressors, and has experience working with individuals from diverse social and cultural backgrounds.
