Trauma and EMDR


Trauma is something that can happen to anyone. It is a result from exposure to an incident or series of events that are emotionally disturbing or life threatening with lasting adverse effects on an individual's life. It can affect a person’s individual functioning with their mental, emotional, social, physical, and spiritual well being. Trauma does not have to take over your entire life! We have skilled therapists that treat trauma with several approaches.

EMDR - Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) can be an extremely effective and efficient way to treat trauma and other issues that individuals need to resolve. It can be utilized to treat depression, anxiety, phobias. EMDR is also known to help with substance abuse treatment outcomes as well as enhancing personal performance. EMDR often takes less time than other forms of therapy, which also means that it can save you money from needing less time with extensive therapy sessions. . EMDR helps people build their confidence, helping them recognize they can move forward from their trauma. Most remarkable about EMDR is that it helps the brain to tap into its own ability to self-heal without having to rehash all the details of a traumatic event.

Our therapists use many different modalities and therapeutic interventions such as EMDR, CBT, DBT, Solution Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Gottman Method, 12-step recovery programs, Mindfulness, Meditation and Life-Coaching.

We have several clinicians that are EMDR trained. Call Herriman Counseling Services today at 801-217-9600 to see who we can schedule you for an appointment.
