OUR SERVICES
Therapy and Psychiatric Care in St. George
That Treats the Why, Not Just the Symptoms
Trauma Treatment & Counseling is a locally owned mental health practice in downtown St. George, with a second office in Cedar City and telehealth available anywhere in Utah. We help Southern Utah residents work through trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and the long-term effects of painful experiences.
What makes us different is our focus. Many practices treat trauma as one item on a long list. For us, it is the center of the work, because unresolved trauma sits underneath so much of what people come to therapy for: the panic that shows up out of nowhere, the marriage that keeps hitting the same wall, the child who melts down over small things, the first responder who cannot turn it off after a shift. Our therapists are trained in EMDR, Brainspotting, and other approaches designed to help the brain finish processing what got stuck, so you can stop managing symptoms and start actually feeling better.
Our team also includes psychiatric providers, which means therapy and medication management can happen under one roof when that is what you need.
Individual Therapy
One-on-one counseling for anxiety, depression, grief, stress, life transitions, and trauma. You’ll be matched with a St. George therapist whose training fits what you’re facing, in person or by telehealth, in a safe, non-judgmental space where you can gain clarity and build healthier habits.
Couples & Marriage Counseling
Whether you’re stuck in the same argument, recovering from a breach of trust, or just feel like roommates, our couples therapists help you communicate differently and reconnect, without taking sides. Marriage counseling in St. George for couples at every stage.
Trauma Therapy, EMDR & Brainspotting
Our specialty. Using EMDR, Brainspotting, and other proven approaches, we help you process painful experiences so they stop running your present. You don’t have to retell every detail to heal. Proudly recognized by EMDRIA.
Child & Teen Therapy
Kids don’t always have words for what’s wrong. Our child and teen therapists use play therapy, expressive techniques, and age-appropriate trauma work to help young people feel safe, understood, and back on track, with parents involved every step of the way.

Frequently Asked Questions About Therapy in St. George
Do you accept my insurance?
Most likely. We’re in network with SelectHealth, Blue Cross, EMI Health, DMBA, PEHP, Optum, United Healthcare, UMR, EBMS, and University of Utah Health Plans, among others. If you don’t see your plan listed, call us at 435-227-5506 and we’ll check.
How do I know if I need trauma therapy?
If a past experience still affects how you feel, react, sleep, or relate to people, trauma therapy can help, even if you wouldn’t call the experience “traumatic.” Many clients come in for anxiety, anger, or relationship problems and discover the root is something older.
What is EMDR, and does it work?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is one of the most researched trauma therapies available and is recommended by the APA, the VA, and the World Health Organization. It helps the brain reprocess distressing memories so they lose their emotional charge. Several of our therapists have advanced EMDR training.
Do you see children and teenagers?
Yes. We have therapists who specialize in children and adolescents, using play therapy and age-appropriate trauma approaches, with parents involved throughout.
Do you offer telehealth?
Yes. Video sessions are available to anyone in Utah, and many clients mix in-person visits at our St. George office with telehealth when life gets busy.
Do you have psychiatrists or medication management?
Yes. Our psychiatric providers offer evaluations and medication management in St. George, and they work closely with our therapists so your care is coordinated.
