Trauma and PTSD Therapists in Millard County, UT

So often we find ourselves with negative thoughts and beliefs about ourselves, others, or the world around us that hold us back from understanding or seeing who we really are and what we can become. I seek to help individuals break down their negative and distorted thinking so they can see themselves and the world around them in a more healthy and positive way. I enjoy working with young adults and older teenagers who struggle with a range of anxiety, depression, and negative views of self.

You deserve to be heard. You deserve to take up space. Showing up is the hardest part, so kudos to you for being here and looking around. It takes courage to ask for support, especially when you're used to handling everything on your own. Maybe you’ve tried therapy before but it wasn't helpful. Maybe it was painful to stir up the past and difficult to put overwhelming emotions into words. I can support you differently—using yoga, art, play, EMDR, and nature to enhance traditional talk therapy. Together, you will learn to heal and create the life you’ve been longing for.

I am passionate about empowering and supporting my clients through integrating evidence-based techniques in sessions. I firmly believe that everyone deserves to have a fulfilling life geared toward finding their best self. It is important to me that my clients feel honored, supported, and comfortable during their therapeutic journey. I strive for honest connection and understand that no two therapy sessions look the same, nor do our walks of life. I am dedicated to meeting my clients where they are at and walking through life's challenges together.

I am a Utah Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 15 years of clinical experience in working with children, adolescents, and adults. I specialize in trauma, and helping with the lasting symptoms caused by trauma. Ie- addiction, mental health, eating disorders, poor coping skills, toxic relationships, poor boundaries, and much more. I have experience with childhood sexual abuse survivors and was the clinical manager at the Saprea retreat. You can look up the retreat at saprea.org for more information.

Welcome to your healing journey! As a therapist, I focus on helping adults overcome childhood trauma that may be impacting their current mental health. Negative experiences from the past can lead to depression, anxiety, and other symptoms that can persist into adulthood. My approach to treatment blends multiple modalities to address the root cause of these symptoms, with a primary focus on EMDR therapy for trauma. My goal is to provide a safe and accepting space for you to heal and grow. If you're ready to do the work and move forward, I'm here to support you every step of the way.

My typical client is seeking relief from their painful past, however recent or remote, and a clearer path in the present and future. That includes mostly individuals, but also many couples that are looking to repair relationships, harmed by individual trauma or other circumstances.

Have you ever felt ashamed? Ever felt like others don’t understand you, but say they do? Those have been my own experiences and have led me to work with people in recovery and their families, survivors of domestic violence/abuse, minority communities and teens. I come from a multi-cultural family with an immigrant parent which has both enriched my life and created unique struggles for me. These experiences, however, have helped me empathize with a wide variety of people and situations. My goals are to support my clients as they navigate their struggles and find hope and strength within themselves.

Are you a teenager, young adult or adult struggling with your relationships or connecting with others? Is your anxiety so crippling it interferes with the quality of your life? Do you find that you lack social skills development and would like the chance to learn new skills and have support? You are not alone! Through individual and group therapy I can help you understand these struggles, learn new skills, and practice connecting with others within the safety of therapy which helps you understand yourself and in turn can help you lead a more fulfilling life.

Kathy is an attachment based therapist specializing in PTSD and complex trauma, particularly from various forms of abuse. Kathy also works with anxiety, depression, self harm, suicidal ideation, teen issues and parent child relational issues.

I enjoy helping clients with relationship issues, depression and anything that has led to trauma in their life. I seek for healing those wounded parts in order for the client to live a meaningful life again. I like to work with clients who are willing to do homework on their part outside of therapy for maximum growth.

My primary aspiration is to create a welcoming and nonjudgmental space for clients to openly discuss their experiences and delve into their emotions, ensuring a safe environment for exploration. I incorporate a range of evidence-based therapeutic approaches, including CBT, DBT, motivational interviewing, ACT, and EMDR.

Whether you are experiencing anxiety, depression, family struggles, trust difficulties or the effects of trauma, I’m here to help. We can work together to decide what treatment will be most helpful for you, and we can adapt along the way. You deserve to find relief, hope and healing!

I specialize in working with trauma in clients of all ages. Before practicing privately, I worked with women who were childhood sexual abuse survivors in a retreat and outpatient setting for two years. I also worked with both adults and children through Family Haven, Utah Foster Care, and Wasatch Mental Health. Over my years working in mental health I developed a love for working with all ages to heal from trauma. I like taking a client-centered in therapy to help clients feel more empowered and whole. I also enjoy helping clients through symptoms of trauma, anxiety, depression and issues related to faith transitions.

I do not believe in failure. I believe failing is an opportunity for growth and learning. As long as we keep trying it becomes success. We are perfectly imperfect. Past clients have particularly valued the understanding, supportive, goal-driven therapy offered. My specialty areas include: grief and loss, relationship counseling, pre-marital, marital and divorce counseling, consensual non-monogamy (CNM) counseling, self-esteem improvement, mindfulness, Sensate Focus, LGBTQIA+ support, stress management, self compassion, trauma recovery, and faith transition/crisis.
