Our Team.
Jefferson Hunt, LMFT - Supervisor

First, some basics: I grew up in Orem in Utah, I'm a huge BYU fan, I love food, and Brandon Sanderson is my hero. I have 5 kids and we have been Rexburgians for a cumulative of 15 years now! I knew from a young age that I wanted to be a marriage and family therapist. My mom died from breast cancer when I was 10. Due to the stigma of therapy in the early 90's I had to navigate the grief on my own with very few tools (Mario Kart, my faith, Lord of the Rings, and friends). I understand what it's like when you don't know where to go or what to do. My practice is a safe place (no judgment) for all who seek holistic guidance and healthy coping skills. Education: I earned my bachelor's degree in psychology at BYU-Idaho and gained experience working for 6 years helping people with developmental disabilities, behavioral issues, and mental illness. I then attended Simpson University in Redding, California and received my master's degree in counseling psychology. I have enjoyed practicing therapy since 2016. I have experience in individual, couple, family, and group therapy.

In my free time I enjoy reading fiction; playing the piano; and trying out new recipes from around the world (particularly Indian food). I grew up in a few different places, including Washington and Utah, but I call Idaho home! I am currently on the journey to become a licensed marriage and family therapist. I am studying at Liberty University and am excited to learn all I can to navigate the nuances of life with my clients. I feel the calling to walk with others in life and help them through the voyage of self-discovery. In my practice, I strive to make clients feel comfortable and safe. I recognize the humanity that is in each one of us. I know how difficult it can be to navigate this life alone. I will strive with each of my clients to help them learn the coping skills that will lessen burdens seen and unseen.
Lily Aho, Office Assistant

Having grown up in rural Idaho, I have always loved potatoes in every form. I also love cooking and baking just about anything, but especially sourdough bread and baked goods. I lived in the Swiss and Austrian alps for long enough to know I am in love with mountains as well as the German language and culture. I am currently close to graduating with my bachelor's degree in Marriage and Family Studies/Psychology at BYU-Idaho and will then go on to studying Professional Counseling at Liberty University. I hope to one day become a mental health therapist with an emphasis on marriage and relationship dynamics.
Brian Mendoza, Billing Administrator
brian.mendoza@clearview-ps.com
Born into a medical family of aides, nurses, therapists and providers, I have always been proud of my family and how they have dedicated their lives to helping others in so many different areas. While attending Indiana University, it was there that I found my passion in healthcare and graduated with a Degree in HealthCare Administration. I have spent the last 25 years helping both providers and patients navigate the maze of healthcare reimbursement for large health systems and private practice of all specialty types. In a field that has helped so many family members and friends, I made the decision 5 years ago to concentrate in the Behavioral Health field. My goal is to provide an environment where I can take care of your billing needs so that you and your provider can focus on your care.
