Trauma & Anxiety Therapy in Holladay, Utah
From the outside, you may look like you’re keeping everything together — managing work, family, and the expectations of daily life. But inside, you feel anxious, stretched too thin, or burdened by old wounds. At Salty Counseling, we help high-achievers in Holladay heal at the nervous-system level through EMDR and somatic therapy, so you can finally feel grounded, whole, and free.
Therapy for Holladay Residents Seeking Real Change
Many of our clients from Holladay reach out because they’re:
Pulled in every direction. You appear capable and reliable, but inside, you feel worn down by constant demands.
Exhausted by perfectionism. No matter how much you accomplish, it never feels like enough.
Carrying old family or relationship wounds. Past experiences continue to shape your present and hold you back.
Tired of surface-level fixes. You’ve tried to cope with podcasts, books, or temporary strategies, but the deeper healing hasn’t happened.
At Salty Counseling, we use EMDR, somatic therapy, and polyvagal-informed care to help your nervous system reset — so you can stop just managing symptoms and start living with more peace and ease.
Why EMDR & Somatic Therapy Work
Many high-achievers come to us after trying other ways of managing stress — meditation apps, journaling, even traditional talk therapy. These may bring temporary relief, but often don’t touch the deeper layers where trauma and stress remain.
That’s because old wounds aren’t just stored in your thoughts — they’re held in your nervous system. Survival responses like anxiety, shutdown, or constant tension can stay locked in long after the mind has tried to move on.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) helps the brain reprocess painful memories so they no longer trigger the same overwhelming reactions.
Somatic therapy reconnects you with your body, allowing you to notice and release the tightness, stress, and shutdown responses you’ve carried for years.
Polyvagal-informed therapy gives you practical tools to understand and regulate your body’s stress patterns, so you can return to balance more easily.
Together, these approaches create real, lasting change — not just coping.
EMDR & Somatic Therapy for Holladay High-Achievers
Through this nervous-system-rooted work, you’ll learn to:
Release patterns of anxiety, shame, and self-doubt
Feel safer and more connected in your body
Build resilience so you can face stress with greater ease
Heal at the root — moving beyond coping into transformation
Our clients often say therapy with us feels different than what they’ve tried before. Instead of just talking about problems, they begin to experience change in how their body and mind actually respond to stress. That’s where real healing begins.
Therapy Options for Holladay Residents
Many Holladay clients choose secure telehealth sessions, allowing them to meet from home, a private office, or even while traveling. Virtual therapy is flexible, private, and eliminates the commute — making it easier to stay consistent.
Others appreciate how close our office is to Holladay. Just a short drive brings you to downtown Salt Lake City, where you can step away from daily demands and focus fully on yourself. Some clients even combine therapy with errands, lunch meetings, or a quiet moment to reset before heading home.

Ready to Take the Next Step?
It’s normal to hesitate before reaching out. Many of our clients almost didn’t contact us — worried they’d be “too much,” or unsure if therapy could really help. Some resigned themselves to the idea that “this is just how life has to be.”
But it doesn’t have to stay that way. At Salty Counseling, therapy moves at your pace. You’ll never be pushed faster than you’re ready. Instead, we’ll create a safe, supportive space where you can release old patterns, build resilience, and step out of survival mode for good.
Taking the first step can feel daunting, but many clients find that scheduling a consultation becomes the turning point. It’s a chance to ask questions, get to know your therapist, and feel out whether the fit is right — without pressure.
