Trauma & Anxiety Therapy in Park City, Utah

On the outside, you may look like you’re managing everything — a successful career, family responsibilities, and the active lifestyle Park City is known for. But inside, you may feel anxious, stretched too thin, or weighed down by old wounds. At Salty Counseling, we help high-achievers in Park City heal at the nervous-system level through EMDR and somatic therapy, so you can finally feel grounded, whole, and free.

Therapy for Park City Residents Ready for Lasting Change

Park City is renowned for its stunning mountain scenery, diverse outdoor recreation opportunities, and vibrant lifestyle. But even here, stress and old wounds don’t simply vanish. Many of our Park City clients come to therapy because they’re:

• Successful on the outside but exhausted inside. To friends and colleagues, you look accomplished and in control, but inside, you feel drained and stuck in survival mode.

• Tired of perfectionism and pressure. Whether it’s excelling in your career, keeping up with parenting, or maintaining appearances, the constant push to “perform” leaves little room to breathe.

• Carrying unresolved trauma or family wounds. Old experiences still shape how you see yourself and affect your relationships today.

• Looking for more than surface-level fixes. You’ve tried mindfulness apps, self-help books, or quick tips, but the deeper healing hasn’t happened yet.

At Salty Counseling, we use EMDR, somatic therapy, and polyvagal-informed care to help your nervous system release survival mode and find balance that lasts.

Living in Park City can also bring its own unique pressures. For some, the high cost of living and the fast pace of the community create a constant undercurrent of stress. For others, the seasonal rhythm of winter ski crowds and summer festivals means you rarely feel like you can slow down. And if you’ve moved here from somewhere else, you may also feel the pressure of building new connections while trying to “fit in” with a community that often looks picture-perfect from the outside. Therapy can give you the grounding and clarity to navigate these challenges with more ease.

EMDR & Somatic Therapy for Park City High-Achievers

Our approach isn’t about quick fixes. We go deeper — addressing the nervous system patterns that keep you feeling stuck.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) helps you reprocess painful memories so they no longer control your present. Instead of being triggered by the past, you can move forward with clarity and calm.

Somatic therapy brings awareness back to your body, helping you notice and release the tension, anxiety, or shutdown responses you’ve carried for years.

Polyvagal-informed therapy helps you understand your body’s stress responses and teaches you practical ways to return to regulation.

Through these approaches, you’ll learn to:

• Release patterns of anxiety, shame, and self-doubt

• Reconnect with your body and feel safe in yourself again

• Build resilience so you can handle stress with more ease

• Heal deeply — moving beyond coping into transformation

Many high-achievers who come to Salty Counseling have already tried other ways of managing stress — meditation apps, productivity strategies, or surface-level talk therapy. While these may help temporarily, they don’t always get to the root of the issue. EMDR and somatic therapy are different because they address what’s happening in your nervous system — where trauma and stress often remain “stuck” long after the mind has tried to move on.

Therapy Options for Park City Residents

Many of our Park City clients choose secure telehealth sessions, allowing them to meet from the comfort of home, a private office, or even while traveling. Telehealth makes it easy to maintain consistent therapy, regardless of your busy schedule.

Others prefer to make the short drive down to our Salt Lake City office for in-person sessions, combining therapy with other work or errands in the city.

Whether you’re local year-round or part-time in Park City, you can choose the format that fits your lifestyle. If you split your time between Utah and another state, telehealth ensures you don’t have to start over with a new therapist every time you change locations — continuity of care is built in.

Ready to Begin?

It’s normal to hesitate before starting therapy. Many of our clients almost didn’t reach out — unsure if it would help, afraid they’d be “too much,” or resigned to the idea that “this is just the hand I’ve been given.”

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 space to explore, heal, and finally step out of survival mode. Sometimes, the most powerful act of courage is simply reaching out.
