EMDR Therapists in Pleasant Grove, UT

Trauma and EMDR are my passions due to personal experiences with PTSD and the healing I’ve witnessed and experienced through EMDR. I have worked with individuals in a generalized practice experience including anxiety, depression, OCD, suicidality, childhood abuse, etc... Am gaining an increased skill level with those who have experienced PTSD, complex PTSD, Dissociative Disorders (general), & Dissociative Identity Disorder. Attachment Theory, Adaptive Information Processing Model, Polyvagal Theory and Systems Theory are the bases from which I work.

Life is hard. It just is. At some point, you may have felt like you've lost sight of who you are and what you want. Whether that's due to mental illness, trauma, low self-worth, relationship challenges, or unexpected life changes, sometimes you just need someone to help guide and be present with you through the struggle. At True Self Counseling, we work with children, teens, and adults, and specialize in working with trauma, life transitions, mood disorders, ADHD, anxiety disorders, faith transitions, and LGBTQ+ issues. We believe each individual has within them the ability to heal, grow, thrive, and embrace their true selves.

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.

Hi! I’m Marki and I want to be your new therapist! I’m kind, compassionate, and sassy. If that sounds like your kind of therapist then read on my friend. I’ve found that everyone wants to belong to something. Many of us spend years searching for what that is without realizing it already exists. I’m passionate about helping people find where they belong and how to use that to fulfill their purpose in life. I love helping others to be vulnerable and working through shame (it sucks, but you gotta do it). I believe it’s vital to implement self compassion in your life as well as introducing productive change that YOU are in charge of.

Sometimes one becomes stuck in destructive cycles or unhealthy patterns learned in childhood. Maybe it was neglect, abuse, or a chaotic environment due to a parent figure so wrapped up in their own trauma, they were unable to be there for you. Or maybe a more recent trauma (an accident, sexual assault, military experiences, etc.) is bothering you. And no matter how hard you try to numb and suppress the past, it has a way of dictating your present behaviors and affecting the way you feel about yourself and function in relationships today.

Anger and Anxiety have you feeling out of control and threatening to ruin your relationships. It seems to come out of nowhere and you spend a lot of time and energy, back tracking and trying to make amends. At the end of the day, you want to do better and be better. I help MEN who struggle with anger learn how to manage their emotions so they can have better relationships at home and a work.

You always know you're triggered because you can't stop the emotions from coming out. You are once again reminded your reactions are more than the norm. Your so-called "big emotions" are getting in the way of your relationships and your relationship with yourself. You feel tired and are not sure if hope is something you can reach for, but you know you will continue to push on soon, just as you always have done. You push through your feelings, trying to set them aside until they bubble over when you least expect them to. You're not sure what to do.

I am a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP) and am experienced in treating trauma, anxiety, and panic. When people have been dealing with these problems for a while, it can sometimes feel like things will never get better. But therapy can offer real pathways to recovery. Additionally, many of the people I treat are struggling with complex, strained, or toxic family relationships. I can help you to develop new perspective and establish boundaries to make these relationships as healthy as possible.

Are you desperate to find peace and relief? Are you stuck in negative patterns or unmotivated? Are you shutting down or having panic attacks? Do you feel distant from those you love? Has your personal or professional life been affected negatively? Addiction, betrayal, broken trust, loss of hope, grief, overwhelm and genetics can all trigger mental health issues. These can manifest as depression, anxiety, irritability, anger outbursts and shutdown disrupting personal functioning and family relationships. My compassionate approach combined with effective therapeutic skills and tools can help you heal and restore relationships.

I work with children, teens, adults, families, and couples experiencing relational conflict, life transitions, coparenting, divorce/separation, faith crisis/transitions, and navigating the impact and symptoms of anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, addiction, and personality disorders. I use emotionally focused, EMDR, sandtray, psychoeducational, and experiential modalities rooted in attachment theory to support my clients in exploring their inner worlds and facilitate new ways to engage with themselves and others.

At some point, you may have felt like you've lost sight of who you are and what you want. Whether that's due to mental illness, trauma, low self-worth, relationship challenges, or unexpected life changes, sometimes you just need someone to help guide you, and be present with you, through the struggle. I specialize in working with shame, perfectionism, trauma, mood disorders, ADHD, anxiety, faith transitions, and LGBTQ+ issues. I believe that each individual has within them the ability to heal, grow, thrive, and become their true selves. It is my goal to help my clients harness that ability.

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.

I have worked extensively with individuals suffering from traumatic experiences, attachment issues, stress related disorders, faith transitions, anxiety and depression. I use a variety of frameworks including EMDR, Poly-Vagal Theory, Internal Family Systems, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectic Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution Focused Therapy, and many others to help individuals find their own happiness and work through challenges in life.

I specialize in working with teens and adults who struggle with low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, self-harming behaviors, suicidal ideation and victims of abuse. I like to involve parents in the process so that it is a team approach and everyone can utilize skills to help each other. I also work with adults struggling with depression, anxiety and life changes. I enjoy teaching skills and tools to implement in daily life.
