Logan, Utah ­­— Logan River Academy is excited to welcome back Kalia Osmond, CSW, as the newest member of their clinical team. She joined the team in March of 2021 and has been a great addition. She is energetic, enthusiastic, and has quickly gained the respect and adoration of students and staff alike.

Kalia earned both her Bachelor and Master of Social Work from Utah State University. Several years ago, before earning her master’s degree and being brought on as a therapist, she worked as a residential staff in Logan River Academy’s Girl’s Program. She has an intense passion for working with adolescents and has transitioned into her new role seamlessly. “My approach is tailored to each client and their individual needs,” says Kalia, “Each individual has a unique set of circumstances that require different therapeutic approaches. The Therapeutic Approach I tend to use is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which challenges and changes unhelpful behaviors and cognitive distortions, improves emotional regulation, and assists with the development of personal coping strategies that target solving current problems.”

Kalia has already proven to be a very effective therapist as her style and approach resonates well with many students. “We are incredibly happy to have Kalia back,” says Sean Maynard, LRA’s Clinical Director, “Kalia is energetic and has a tremendous passion for working with teenagers.  She is very kind and empathetic and has been an instant favorite of our students.”
