Emily Anderson
(She/Her/Hers)
Limited Licensed Master Social Worker (LLMSW)
Welcome! I am EMDR trained, have done research around women's issues/postpartum, and was a part of a LGBTQIA+ therapist alliance guild in Utah.
Regardless of wherever reading this bio leads you, you are worthy of support. You are worthy of love, connection, joy, and meaning. It takes immense courage to take that first step and begin searching for a therapist. I honor that. Whether or not that is me, I hope you walk away from this page empowered in your search. You deserve it. I have a particular interest working with trauma. I am trained in EMDR for trauma reprocessing. I have worked extensively with individuals who have experienced religious trauma and are leaving high demand faiths or cults. I have also worked with trauma in mothers, LGBTQ+ folks, couples, and those with sexual issues. In the words of Joseph Campbell “the privilege of a lifetime is being who you are.” To reiterate, you are worthy. I’m glad you are here. Life can get better, and I’d be honored to work beside you and determine how we can make it so.
