Trauma and PTSD Therapists in La Sal, UT

I work with teens and adults who desire change; are struggling with emotional pain, discomfort, or dissatisfaction; or feel a desire for self-exploration and personal growth. Issues may include mental health concerns, trauma, relationship issues, life transitions, grief, or self-esteem and identity. We’ll use both top-down (cognitive) and body-up (experiential) approaches to organize and make sense of what’s happening, and create an integrated and expansive experience of Self so that you can access the inner resources you need to heal, grow and thrive.

Your healing and growth begin with accepting and appreciating you and all parts of you- including the anxious parts, angry parts, shut-down parts, overwhelmed parts, grieving parts, etc. I guide you in recognizing your strengths and bringing care to the pain that often underlies many symptoms. I am honored to support meaningful change, including healing trauma. This process opens space for new life. I delight in witnessing clients experience joy, self acceptance, resilience, expansion, stronger relationships, and the confidence to live fully and bring their gifts to the world.

My mission is to help clients gain stability and growth to build strong healthy relationships with themselves and those they love. I specialize in helping people through transitions; and healing from trauma.

Natalie (Nat) Day is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and graduated from Boise State University with a Masters in Social Work in 2018. Over the last decade she has worked in a variety of settings including residential treatment, on-campus college counseling, substance abuse treatment, inpatient psychiatric care, and community mental health. Specializing in the treatment of trauma, addictions, and sexuality (with special focus on kink/BDSM/sex work), her approach to therapy is eclectic, drawing on a variety of evidenced based practices.

I have become personally aware of the needs of couples, individuals and families experiencing the difficult effects of addiction, grief, depression, trauma, and divorce. I have felt great joy and satisfaction working with clients, seeing them move from a place of pain to hope! I believe in the ability of every individual to find answers and to heal.

I have been a practicing therapist for two years and have experience working with clients of all ages and genders. I attended school at the University of Nevada, Reno and graduated with my master's degree in social work. Then went on to intern at the VA in Salt Lake City UT, then moved on to do therapy at a private practice in Utah. As a therapist, I love helping my clients explore their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, looking at the impact they are having on their life.

Sometimes we can feel a bit broken. We all need to reflect and repair at times. You might wish you could feel less reactive in your relationships, or a longing to be more aware, assertive and respectful to yourself. Work may be the never ending stressor that is taking all your energy. Maybe you would like to change your family interactions, or just figure out healthy boundaries. It might be the way you think about and treat yourself that has brought you here. Replaying moments of the past, or the current day over and over as you lose out on much needed sleep. Maybe… you are here looking to find yourself, to finally be okay.

My goal as a therapist is to provide a safe space to explore issues that have created significant barriers to growth, healing, and change. If you've experienced a stressful, troubling event that's left you feeling powerless, you may have been traumatized. I utilize the latest research to help those affected to not only begin the process of healing, but learn how to engage and effectively diminish and manage symptoms. I am trauma-informed, with training in mind body bridging, a holistic therapeutic approach incorporating the mind, body, spirit, and emotions that support the healing process. I am also trained in IBSR, and EMDR.
