Therapy Near Farmington, Utah

In a close-knit community like Farmington, where family, faith and neighbors are often intertwined, it can feel hard to admit when something is wrong. Maybe you’re exhausted from trying to hold everything together, stuck in a rut you can’t quite explain or carrying a weight you haven’t told anyone about.

No matter what you’re going through, we’re here for you at Salais Counseling. We are licensed, trauma-informed therapists with an office in Layton, serving Farmington and the surrounding communities. We offer a safe, nonjudgmental space to explore your thoughts and feelings and develop healthier ways of coping with life’s challenges.

CBT, DBT, EMDR and Other Approaches in the Farmington Area

Some people come to therapy with a clear sense of what’s wrong. Others just know something feels off — and that’s OK, too. You don’t need to have everything figured out before taking the first step. We’ll help you sort through whatever challenges you’re facing and determine a path forward that’s right for you.

Your healing journey may include one or more of the following evidence-based approaches, which we tailor to your needs and goals:

• Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR): This is a structured therapy that involves guided eye movements to help your brain reprocess traumatic memories. It’s often used to treat post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, depression, substance use disorders and eating disorders.
• Accelerated resolution therapy (ART): Like EMDR, ART uses eye movements to help with brain processing. It also incorporates guided visualization techniques to replace painful memories with more positive images. ART is an innovative approach that’s often used to help people work through trauma relatively quickly, typically in a few sessions.
• Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT): CBT is a form of talk therapy that focuses on identifying and changing negative thoughts. It can help you recognize patterns of thinking that may be contributing to anxiety, depression or ongoing stress, and replace them with more balanced perspectives.
• Trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT): This approach is a structured, specialized form of CBT designed to help children and teens process and heal from trauma. It also usually involves parents or caregivers, who learn skills to support their child through the healing process and beyond.
• Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT): DBT blends behavioral strategies with mindfulness and acceptance-based skills. It was originally developed to treat borderline personality disorder but is also used to help people manage intense emotions, tolerate distress and build healthier relationships.
