Clinicians
W. Marie Pickett
LCSW, RPT-S
I have been happily working as a therapist since 2003. I have worked for Provo School District, Slate Canyon Detention Center, Wasatch Mental Health, and have been the Director for Clear Horizons Clinical Services since the company opened in 2013. Much of my work has been in working with foster children and families, post adoption families, as well as helping individual and families overcome trauma. I am also well versed in treating anxiety, depression and relationship concerns. I routinely use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT certified), Equine Assisted therapy practices (Natural Lifemanship
Prior to being a therapist, I worked with a company that provided services for those with receiving services for disabilities. As a result, I have great appreciation for children, families and individuals who struggle with the difficulties that disabilities can bring. I enjoy being a part of amplifying abilities and being a part of the growth and healing process.
I have also worked in a family preservation program, which is an in-home program. I was able to gain a perspective of the benefit of meeting with clients in their environments as an agent of change where possible, and this is the premise that became the foundation for Clear Horizons Clinical Services.
Morgan McClain
CSW
I am a Utah State University graduate who has a solid background working with children and adolescents. I have worked as a frontline staff at a residential treatment center in Provo called Heritage for 5 years and I have loved the opportunities that I have been given to make even a small difference in the lives of these adolescents. I also have experience helping with parenting classes and stepfamily classes through the Family Place in Logan. I like to create a safe space for clients to explore their thoughts and emotions as well as helping them to discover things that are going to work for them as individuals. I am also trained in TBRI and I love the principles that it teaches. Some of my interests include Aikido a Japanese martial art that translates to the way of peace or way of harmonizing with energy. It teaches us to move with the energy being given to us and redirect it rather than clashing with it. I like to use principles from this martial art in my therapy work where applicable. I also enjoy art and expressive art is another thing that is heavily infused in my work.
Lynn Hollinghead
Lynn provides children a safe environment in which they can find their voice. His training is in child-centered play therapy, which allows children a unique chance to express themselves. While adults express their experiences in words, children express their experiences in play. Lynn is a member of APT (Association for Play Therapy) and is on the board of directors for UAPT (Utah Association for Play Therapy). He received the Registered Play Therapist (RPT) credentialing in October 2017 and recently completed the credentialing process for the Registered Play Therapist-Supervisor (RPT-S) and was awarded that in October 2020.
Lynn graduated from Utah Valley University with a Bachelor of Science in Behavioral Science with a Psychology emphasis. He then received a Master of Science from Westminster College in Mental Health Counseling in 2014. His internships have included experiences with Carmen B. Pingree Center for Children with Autism in Salt Lake City and Odyssey House of Utah in the Parents with Children program, working primarily in play therapy. Lynn is trained in EMDR, play therapy, sand tray therapy, SandStory Therapy, Autplay Therapy, and expressive therapies. He has been with Clear Horizons Clinical Services since August of 2017.
Lynn works with the entire family to develop a systemic approach to healing and hope. He believes that when one member of the family shows symptoms of distress it takes the entire family to create healing. Lynn works with all children and families, including those with behavioral issues and those on the autism spectrum. Teaching replacement behavior and providing children with structural support while helping parents better understand their child is the primary goal.
Lynn is a parent of five wonderful children and has found that it is the most rewarding (and toughest) job he has ever had. He believes parenting is an investment that we make in raising our children, giving them roots and wings simultaneously. Lynn loves to play with his children and spend time researching and learning new things. Lynn’s hobbies include drawing, woodworking, playing video games, and building Lego creations with his children.
Ray Orbin
CMHC THERAPIST
It is obvious when you walk into Ray’s office…there are bears everywhere. There are pictures of bears, carvings of bears and bear figurines on his desk. When asked why, he says bears have always been dear to him ever since he was a kid. His nickname growing up was “Bear”.
It was his roots in Missouri, being raised on a large farm with horses and cattle that drew Ray to Discovery Ranch. With over thirty years experience working with youth and their families, Ray is able to bring a seasoned approach to the therapeutic issues facing the students and their parents.
Starting out in Education, Ray went on to get his Masters Degree in Psychology and has become a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor. Over the years Ray has been the clinical director at two different organizations so he brings to the students a wealth of knowledge, understanding and clinical expertise.

Simone Y. Regan
CSW
Simone Y. Regan CSW began practicing therapy in the Spring of 2020 after graduating Utah State University with honors. During school, her focus was primarily on diverse populations, and being Native American herself makes her all the more passionate about providing culturally sensitive care to her clients. She operates from a Strengths-Based perspective and feels like therapeutic relationships benefit from a mutual feeling of curiosity and respect toward one another. She leans heavily on a team approach to treatment planning and care.
She has had an adventurous life including Active Army time where she worked at the Airborne school at Fort Benning teaching people how to jump out of airplanes and work as a team. She has lived in ten different states and loves to travel as much as she can; as well as dance, garden and go camping.
Most of her work has been with youth and adolescents, but she has a strong history working with adults as well, and can connect with just about anyone. Apart from being a therapist, she is a mother of four children, one of whom is special needs, and she loves working with families to help build on strengths and add support where challenges show up. She uses skills across several evidence-based modalities and has a primary focus on trauma-informed care.
Her wide-ranging life experience provides her a strong level of natural wisdom and a well of empathy and understanding for the clients she serves, and she is passionate about working toward becoming the change she wishes to see in the world.
