Individual Therapy

Life’s challenges can shape how we think, feel, and navigate the world, but healing is possible. Individual therapy offers a compassionate space to process emotions, overcome obstacles, and rediscover balance. Using EMDR and a holistic approach, we focus on healing the whole person—mind, body, and spirit—helping you build resilience, self-awareness, and lasting well-being.

Couples' Counseling

Every relationship faces challenges; it's a normal part of coexisting. Couples therapy provides a safe, supportive space to rebuild trust, improve communication, and strengthen your bond. With evidence-based approaches, we help partners navigate conflict, deepen understanding, and create lasting emotional closeness. No matter where you are in your journey—dating, engaged, married, or in transition—we're here to guide you toward a healthier, more fulfilling partnership.

Internal Family Systems (IFS)

IFS, developed by Dr. Richard Schwartz, views the mind as made up of different "parts" with a core "Self" that fosters balance and healing.
Parts include Exiles (wounded), Managers (protective), and Firefighters (reactive). Our therapy helps individuals understand and harmonize these parts, leading with the Self to heal trauma, reduce anxiety, and foster inner balance and self-compassion.

EMDR

EMDR therapy is a highly effective, research-backed approach designed to help individuals process and heal from trauma, anxiety, PTSD, and negative thought patterns. By engaging the brain’s natural ability to heal through guided eye movements, EMDR helps reprocess distressing memories, reducing their emotional intensity and impact.

Reiki

We offer Reiki as a gentle, energy-based practice to support your emotional well-being, ease stress, and promote deep relaxation. With certification in Reiki Levels I & II, we coach light, intentional touch to help restore energetic balance and support your body’s natural healing process. Whether you're seeking calm, clarity, or connection, Reiki invites the mind, body, and spirit to realign in harmony.

Frequently Asked Questions

What can I expect in my first therapy session?

Your first counseling session is a time to discuss your concerns, goals, and background. Whether you’re seeking trauma therapy, anxiety treatment, or relationship counseling in Utah, we’ll explore the best approach for your needs and ensure you feel comfortable moving forward.

How do I know which type of therapy is right for me?

During an initial consultation, we’ll assess your needs and recommend the best approach, whether it’s EMDR, intensives, family therapy, or traditional talk therapy. Your therapy plan will be tailored to you.

How often should I attend therapy?

Therapy frequency depends on your goals. Some clients benefit from weekly counseling, while others prefer biweekly sessions or therapy intensives in Utah for faster results. We’ll create a plan that supports your healing journey.

Do you offer virtual therapy?

Yes, we provide teletherapy and online counseling for individuals and couples in Utah. While some treatments, like EMDR therapy, may be more effective in person, virtual sessions offer flexibility for those with busy schedules. We also offer online coaching services for those in other states.

How does EMDR therapy work?

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy in Utah helps the brain process traumatic memories through guided eye movements or bilateral stimulation. It reduces emotional distress and allows for healing from PTSD, anxiety, and negative thought patterns.

Can everyone do EMDR therapy?

Not everyone is immediately ready for EMDR counseling. A thorough mental health assessment is needed to determine if it’s the right fit and to ensure you have the emotional support necessary for the process.

Is EMDR only for PTSD and trauma?

While EMDR therapy in Utah is widely used for PTSD and trauma recovery, it is also effective for anxiety treatment, depression, phobias, and negative thought patterns.

How does family therapy work?

Family therapy in Utah focuses on improving communication, resolving conflicts, and strengthening relationships. Sessions may involve the whole family or select members, depending on the challenges being addressed.

Can family therapy help with parenting struggles?

Yes! Therapy can provide parenting strategies, improve family dynamics, and help create a more supportive home environment.

Is couples therapy only for relationships in crisis?

No! Couples therapy in Utah helps partners strengthen communication, build trust, and deepen connection at any stage—whether dating, engaged, married, or navigating transitions.

What if my partner and/or family aren't willing to come?

While therapy is most effective when both partners participate, individual sessions can still provide insights and tools to improve the relationship.

How does IFS therapy help with trauma?

IFS allows you to access and heal wounded "parts" of yourself in a safe and structured way. By leading with your core Self, you can address past trauma without feeling overwhelmed.

Do I need to have prior therapy experience for IFS to be effective?

No! IFS is accessible to anyone, whether you're new to therapy or have previous experience. It’s a gentle, yet powerful approach to self-discovery and healing.

How is IFS different from traditional talk therapy?

Unlike traditional therapy, which focuses on external problem-solving, IFS works internally to understand and harmonize different parts of your psyche, promoting deep emotional healing.
