Trauma Therapy in Cedar City and Kanab
Support for healing after difficult or overwhelming experiences, at a pace that feels manageable for you.
How We Help
Trauma can come from a single frightening event or from repeated difficult experiences over time, including childhood experiences, relationship difficulties, accidents, loss, or other overwhelming events. However it happened, its effects can show up long after the event itself is over.
You might notice anxiety, difficulty trusting others, feeling on edge, or reactions that seem bigger than the situation calls for. Trauma therapy helps address what’s underneath those reactions, not just the symptoms on the surface.

Our approach to trauma therapy starts with safety and stabilization before any deeper processing work begins. We take time to understand your history and current coping resources, build skills for managing distress, and only then move toward processing the specific experiences that continue to affect you, always at a pace you help set.
What We Offer
EMDR
Many clients benefit from EMDR, which helps the brain process distressing memories without requiring you to describe every detail.
Anxiety
Trauma and anxiety often go together. We treat both, since unresolved trauma is often a driver of ongoing anxiety.
Brainspotting
For experiences that feel difficult to reach through words alone, Brainspotting offers a body-focused alternative.
You Don’t Have to Face It Alone
Trauma therapy isn’t about reliving the worst moments of your life over and over. It’s about helping your mind and body finally feel like the danger has passed.
01
Trauma-Informed Care
Every therapist on our team is trained to work with trauma sensitively and at your pace, never pushing you to share more than you’re ready for.
02
Multiple Approaches
We draw on EMDR, Brainspotting, and traditional talk therapy, matching the approach to what actually works for you.
03
Both Offices & Telehealth
We see clients at our Cedar City and Kanab offices, and by telehealth, so distance doesn’t have to be a barrier to care.
Frequently Asked Questions
What counts as trauma?
Trauma can come from a single frightening event or from repeated difficult experiences over time. If an experience continues to affect your emotions, relationships, or daily life, it may be worth exploring in therapy.
Do I have to talk about what happened in detail?
No. Approaches like EMDR and Brainspotting are specifically designed to help you process difficult experiences without requiring a detailed verbal account.
How long does trauma therapy take?
It depends on your history and goals. Some people benefit from shorter-term, focused work, while others with more complex or longstanding trauma may need longer-term support.
What if I’m not sure whether what I experienced was serious enough to need therapy?
If an experience continues to affect you, it’s worth exploring, regardless of how it compares to what happened to someone else. You don’t have to justify your need for support.
Do you offer ketamine-assisted psychotherapy for trauma?
Yes. For trauma symptoms that persist despite trauma-focused therapy, we also offer ketamine-assisted psychotherapy in partnership with a licensed outside medical provider. Your AMLC therapist provides the preparation and integration sessions.
