EMDR Therapists in Draper, UT

The people that do best with me tend to be working on trauma, an eating disorder, boundary setting and relationship issues, and/or general anxiety. I work with an interpersonal approach, but integrate CBT. For eating disorders, i utilise CBT-E, parts of MANTRA, and EMDR for core self esteem issues. Trauma treatment can encompass EMDR, CPT, brainspotting, or talk therapy.

What if change is possible? I believe it is! The first steps to positive change are to recognize there is a problem and to search out solutions. You have taken those steps, so let’s keep going! I am dedicated to helping my clients understand and overcome whatever it is that is getting in the way of who they really want to become. Positive change does not usually,"just happen". You have to take an active role in deliberately creating the changes you want in your life. The good news is, you don’t have to go through this alone.

Do you need a place to share your story? It's one thing to sit and think about your struggles alone, but when you begin to share them out loud, your story starts to shift outside of you and you can find healing within yourself. There is power in sharing, and I am passionate about creating a space where you feel safe and supported to do just that. I see your strengths and believe in working collaboratively in therapy. You are the expert in your own life and together we can help you find the confidence to embrace your next steps to change.

I believe that nobody is broken, and all people can heal. The question “what happened to you?” as opposed to “what’s wrong with you?” resonates with me, and influences my practice. Many people believe there’s a difference between “big T” and “little t” trauma, but isn’t all trauma trauma? Our brains don’t care about whether the “t” is capitalized or not, it just knows that we had an adverse experience and it has adapted to keep us safe.

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.

I have over 20 years experience working and growing with the continually developing mental health field. I believe in the immovable strength that all people have within them. Trauma, pain, and disheartenment are all part of the human experience. We are all connected by these experiences, and our abilities to overcome life’s greatest challenges. Therapy is not a "one size fits all" approach and I believe strongly in my ability to work with the diversity of mental health issues.

Do you ever feel overwhelmed, stuck, or burnt out? Maybe it feels as if you don't have complete trust in yourself and find it difficult to know who the real you is?

As a couple and family therapist, I enjoy helping individuals, couples and families navigate some of life’s toughest challenges and relationship milestones. Some of my areas of focus include those going through major life transitions, like marriage, divorce, becoming parents, launching children, and exploring sexuality.

I'm so glad that you're here. It takes a lot of courage to consider seeking counseling. With the right support, I believe that each person has the inner resources to build a meaningful and fulfilling life. What are you hoping to achieve in therapy? A better relationship with yourself? A greater sense of calm? Handling stress and anxiety better? Addressing and processing past trauma? Improving your body image? These are some of the goals we might choose to focus on together.

Life is a journey, and it's a rocky one overall. Some parts of our journeys are smooth and steady. Sometimes we have room for companions. Other times our journeys are muddy, rocky, or narrow. Sometimes our paths are lit, and sometimes we're feeling scared or lost in the dark. We don't have control over which obstacles we will face, but we do learn techniques to overcome these obstacles. That could mean learning new skills for the future or figuring out how to recover from some pain of our pasts. My goal as a therapist is to help my clients build their skills and confidence in overcoming and working through any obstacles.

I strive to help individuals who have been plagued by past or current trauma. I am here to empower within and help my clients uncover who they truly are. My goal is to connect with your potential, find wellness, and create meaning. Finding a therapist who empathizes yet pushes you is never easy. My gentle approach will aid clients in understanding their maladaptive thought patterns and challenging the narrative that has kept them stuck for so long.

People who grew up in a dysfunctional family or were raised by emotionally immature and unavailable caregivers can expect a range of damaging effects throughout their lifespan. Common experiences in adulthood include a poor sense of self, ineffective boundaries, chronic people-pleasing, overwhelming emotional experiences, and toxic attachment patterns. These may create symptoms of depression, anxiety, and ADHD. You may find yourself estranged from family members you wish you could be closer to. You may even find yourself in a spiritual or identity crisis. If you relate to this, I can help!

Hi, I’m Marilee. My personal and professional background have led me to a singular passion: helping families. Everyday challenges for children and their parents can feel overwhelming, and then tragedy, trauma or other difficult circumstances can make it all seem insurmountable. My passion lies in helping my clients through these times. Mental wellness occurs when we can reconnect to ourselves. I also believe that our relationships can buffer us from life’s difficulties–I help parents and children access the best versions of themselves. I believe in cultivating the practices of self-awareness, creativity, mindfulness & joy.
