EMDR Therapists in Helper, UT

Healing from trauma is not easy. I don't believe sugarcoating how difficult this process may be, is beneficial to anyone. But you don't have to go through it alone. I have been working with survivors of trauma for the last 6 years. I've specialized in working with survivors of sexual assault, rape, domestic violence, intimate partner violence and abuse. I know picking the right therapist for this process may be difficult, so I encourage having a free phone consultation with me, to see if it feels like a good fit! I'm excited that you've begun this process of healing, and look forward to playing a role in your healing journey.

I am passionate about helping my clients find growth, health, strength, and happiness in relationships, and in life. I enjoy working with individuals, couples, and families who are dealing with anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, identity, perfectionism, relationship issues, addiction recovery, and LGBT issues. I was born and raised in Utah Valley and I earned my master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Loma Linda University in California.

I am passionate about walking alongside people as they navigate life’s challenges and hope to help them tap in to their authentic selves. I support others in achieving their definition of wellness by using multiple approaches including: EMDR, Narrative Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and DBT all through a trauma informed lens.

Hi! My name is Chloe and I would like to work with you! As a therapist, my approach is to meet you where you are and start from there. Although taking the first steps to healing can be difficult, I provide a compassionate and empathetic space for you to begin or continue that journey. I prioritize your goals and ambitions through a strength based approach, and value your input throughout the therapeutic process. I believe that each person is worthy of kindness and respect, and I strive to emulate that with my clients in therapy.

When certain challenges arise in life, it can be difficult to figure out what the next step is. It can be especially difficult to deal with life's circumstances when you feel like you have to do it on your own, or when you're not really sure where to look for answers. What would it look like if you could find yourself fully empowered to find those answers within yourself? As your therapist, I will stand alongside you and work to help you find healing. Together, we will identify and work through the barriers keeping you from feeling whole and complete... whether those barriers exist in the past, present, or concerns about the future.

No matter how hard things are for you right now, I am optimistic that I can help you on your healing journey. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship distress. I love working with all adults, including senior citizens. My preferred therapeutic modalities include Mindful Self-Compassion, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Sand Tray Therapy.

I specialize in Trauma/PTSD, Anxiety, Depression, Addiction, and Couples Counseling. I don’t believe there is one way to treat everyone…which is why using creativity and tailoring the process to exactly what you need is important.  Most therapists tend to fall back on techniques to try to help their clients manage their problems.  My approach is very different.  My approach is all about treating the root cause of anxiety, depression, addiction, and trauma.  If you want to get rid of a weed you don’t just want to trim the top, you want to pull it out by the roots.  

Mental health matters, and sometimes we need help and support to get us to where we want to be. My goal is to help you feel safe, understood, and respected. Your healing journey matters, and I would like nothing more than to help you along the way. Whether you are experiencing anxiety, depression, or the effects of trauma, I’m here to help. I enjoy engaging clients in parts work through Internal Family Systems (IFS). I've found that IFS can be very effective in treating trauma, anxiety, and depression.

I help adults struggling with anger, trauma, substance abuse, relationship issues, depression, and anxiety. I believe in individualized care and will work with you to identify the best therapeutic direction. I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I approach therapy with an understanding that each person’s path to wellness is unique. I value building a safe, curious, and nonjudgmental relationship to encourage vulnerability and growth.

I believe that we all have a deep well of wisdom within us, and my role as a therapist is to be a guide to help you tap into yours. I choose to focus on your strengths, to help you see them, and to use a collaborative approach as we work together on a journey of growth and healing. I specialize in maternal mental health, infertility, bereavement, trauma, and relationship struggles. In my prior work as a doula, I found great passion in supporting families and now continue doing so by focusing on mental health during pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and beyond.

Clients who come in ready to work on themselves are leaps and bounds ahead of clients who might be dragging their feet in coming to therapy. If you are ready to change and personally motivated, your progress will be quick and you will get a lot out of the therapeutic process. Brief, solution focused therapy is often the most helpful depending on the client, but my intention is always to start where each individual client is at and work to assist them in their goals and desires for change based on their own strengths.

Do current events have you frazzled? Ever felt like you were in a relationship with someone who wasn't available? Or are you trying to rediscover yourself after divorce, having a child go off to college, or death of a loved one? I help people with all kinds of situations. Whether you are experiencing problems in a relationship, grief or bereavement, depression, anxiety, or a spiritual crisis, there is hope. I am trained in EMDR, CBT, ACT, DBT, Solution-Focused Therapy, psychodynamic theory, and routinely learn from experts in the field. Perhaps most important though, is that I listen.

I am certified in trauma and complex trauma related disorders. My focus in therapy is to start where you are and identify what brings you to therapy. We will create a treatment plan specific to your needs and goals. I understand that working through trauma and recovery can be complex and challenging for many, but I believe in recovery using the mind body and spirit so you can fully heal and become the best version of yourself that you can be.

Megan Komatsu, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, earned her bachelor's degree in psychology from Arizona State University and her master's in social work from San Diego State University. She is trained in EMDR and several other treatment modalities. She specializes in the treatment of trauma/post-traumatic stress disorder and also treats depression, co-occurring disorders, anxiety, mood disorders, relationship issues, and adjustment disorders. She has treated a diverse clientele of all ages and has spoken at national and local conferences.

I prioritize creating a nonjudgmental and compassionate space where clients can explore their challenges and uncover their innate wisdom. Grounded in a humanistic and trauma-informed approach, I value the uniqueness of each individual and aim to build therapeutic relationships based on empathy, authenticity, and unconditional positive regard. I utilize EMDR, Mind-Body Bridging, Lifespan Integration, and ACT to assist individuals in overcoming obstacles and reaching their goals. Whether you’re healing from past trauma, navigating life transitions, or enhancing relationships, I'm dedicated to supporting your journey.

I can fluently provide counseling in English & Spanish. I like using a non-pathological and teamwork approach where the clients are the experts of their own lives. I specialize in working with individuals, families, couples, and children, focusing on helping them reach their desired goals. To do so, I use the following evidence-based perspectives: CBT, DBT, EMDR, Gottman (Couples), Play Therapy, and Mindfulness. I have noticed that clients seek more self-improvement after graduating from our therapy work. We would be a great fit if you are highly motivated to do the job.

The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are - Carl Jung… This quote has been my guiding inspiration on my own journey and in my work with others. It can be so easy to lose yourself in the day to day endeavor of living. This can be particularly true for those who have suffered with a history of trauma. Fortunately, within a trusting therapeutic relationship, it is possible to find yourself and become the person you truly are. I have witnessed this happen again and again.
