Our Therapy Services in Layton

Mental health issues are common, and they can have a major impact on your day-to-day life and relationships.

Types of Therapeutic Approaches We Use

Since every person is different with unique experiences and goals, we offer a variety of evidence-based therapeutic approaches. Depending on what you or a loved one is navigating, we may use approaches like:

• Trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT): Helps children and teens process difficult thoughts and feelings related to traumatic experiences.
• Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT): Teaches you to recognize unhelpful thoughts and replace them with more realistic ones.
• Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT): Supports emotional regulation and healthier relationships.
• Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR): Uses guided eye movements to help your brain process traumatic memories that feel stuck.
• Accelerated resolution therapy (ART): Uses both guided eye movements and imagery to help you work through trauma.

What Happens in Therapy

During the first session, we’ll focus on getting to know you, your concerns and your goals for therapy. Then, we’ll collaborate on creating a treatment plan that reflects your specific needs and the pace you’re comfortable with.

As you progress or your needs change, we’ll adapt your treatment plan to you. While therapy involves using structured approaches to help you get where you want to be, it’s an evolving, collaborative process overall — we want you to feel heard, supported and in control of your own healing.
