Emily Newland, LCSW

Emily Newland, LCSW —
A therapist who believes
every heart deserves to thrive.

"I believe the most important thing a therapist can offer is genuine presence. You've spent so long being strong for everyone else. In our sessions, you don't have to be."

Emily is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Utah specializing in trauma, perinatal mental health, and the complex emotional experiences that come with navigating medical family stress. She is EMDR-trained and uses an integrative approach tailored to each individual.

Her clients describe her as warm, direct, and deeply attentive — someone who helps you understand the why behind what you're feeling, not just manage the symptoms.

LCSW Licensed — Utah EMDR Trained Trauma-Informed Care Perinatal Mental Health Grief Specialist

Therapy that meets you exactly where you are.

Emily uses an integrative approach — drawing from multiple evidence-based modalities depending on what each client needs. There's no one-size-fits-all formula. Every treatment plan starts with listening.

🧠

EMDR

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing — a powerful, research-backed approach to processing traumatic memories and breaking patterns rooted in past experiences.

🌿

Trauma-Informed CBT

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy adapted for trauma survivors — helping you identify and restructure thought patterns that no longer serve you without retraumatizing you in the process.

💛

Attachment-Based Therapy

Exploring how early relationships and experiences shape how you connect with yourself and others — and healing those patterns in a safe, consistent therapeutic relationship.

🤝

ACT

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy — helping you live a full, meaningful life even in the presence of pain, uncertainty, or difficult emotions you can't always control.

💬

Grief Therapy

Specialized support for ambiguous loss, anticipatory grief, and the kinds of grief that don't have a clear name — including the grief that comes with medical family stress.
