South Jordan Counseling Mental Health

Mandi Biesinger, LCSW

Mandi Biesinger, counseling

About Mandi:

Malinda Biesinger (that’s Mandi to you) was born and raised in Utah and is so glad to be back home after six years in Los Angeles, California. Mandi attended Brigham Young University, where she earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology and a Master’s Degree in Social Work.

Her additional training includes play therapy, parenting and family support, emotional regulation, and attachment. She also has experience working in a wide variety of settings including private practice, intensive outpatient, residential, and hospital environments. And she has experience treating a wide range of challenges, including trauma, anxiety, depression, attachment, OCD, mood disorders, social communication, parenting skills, adjustment, and life transitions, among others.

Importantly, Mandi recognizes that each individual’s experiences are unique and their treatment must reflect that. She has over a decade of experience working with children and families from diverse religious, ethnic, and cultural backgrounds. Mandi is also an LGBTQIA+ friendly provider.

When she’s not working to break down mental barriers wherever she finds them, Mandi loves tickling the ivories on her piano, baking, traveling, watching TV, and absolutely crushing her husband and kids at board games. She’s really doing them a favor, sometimes facing a hard challenge is the only way to get better.

Parent Feedback

We transferred to Families First about 6 years ago when our long time & only pediatrician moved out of state. I had worked with her in a large pediatric office before having children and am probably a bit particular about who I trust with my children’s health care. I have been so impressed with each office and provider we have dealt with at Families First. Especially Mitch Petersen, our primary pediatrician for all 6 of my kids. He’s awesome, my kids love him and he’s great at teaching & explaining and making everyone comfortable. Love all their services, including the newish counseling office. Valerie has been so helpful with one of my children. Loved that my 5 year old could get her ears pierced at one of the offices too.
