When You’re Holding It All Together — Until You Can’t Anymore

EMDR Therapy in Salt Lake for Women and Nonbinary AFAB Professionals Navigating Complex Trauma

You’ve kept it together for so long.

You’ve been the one others count on—at work, at home, in relationships. You’ve powered through stress, burnout, anxiety, and things you don’t even have names for. You’ve done the therapy. Read the books. Tried to breathe, to journal, to cope.

But lately, nothing’s working.

Your thoughts are racing. Your chest is tight. Your body feels like it’s constantly on alert—buzzing, bracing, panicking—even when you know you’re “safe.”

Sometimes you feel like you’re floating outside of yourself, watching life happen around you. Other times, you feel like everything is crashing in, all at once.

Maybe you're exhausted from trying to look like you’re fine when you feel like you're breaking inside.

Maybe you’re scared to even admit how bad it’s gotten.

Maybe the people around you have no idea.

But you do.

You know something is not okay.
You know you can’t keep doing this alone.
And deep down, you’re hoping that there’s something that can help.

Hi, I’m Christy Kobe — and I help people heal from the kind of pain that talk therapy alone often can’t reach.

As a Utah EMDR therapist, I work with overwhelmed, high-achieving women and nonbinary AFAB professionals who’ve been holding the world on their shoulders for far too long. People who’ve lived through trauma, chaos, emotional neglect, toxic relationships—or just a lifetime of being the one who keeps everything together.

I specialize in Modified Protocol, Attachment-Focused EMDR, a deeply relational, body-based approach that helps the nervous system let go of what it’s been holding—so you can finally feel safe, connected, and whole again.

My clients often tell me they feel seen, heard and understood in ways they never have before. That working with me feels like a soft landing—a space where they don’t have to perform or pretend. A space where healing can actually begin.

With over 20 years in practice, I bring not just advanced trauma training, but my presence. I listen for the things beneath the words. I hold space for your full story. And I trust your body’s wisdom to guide the way forward—gently, safely, and at your pace.

This isn’t about fixing you. It’s about helping you come back to yourself.

Modified Protocol, Attachment-Focused EMDR Can Help You:

  • Calm anxiety and hypervigilance that feel out of your control

  • Feel grounded and connected in your body again

  • Shift painful emotional patterns and beliefs that keep you stuck

  • Release the shame that tells you you should’ve been able to handle it all

  • Reconnect with yourself, your needs, and your inner calm

  • Begin to feel safe—not just in your mind, but in your body

You don’t have to live in survival mode anymore. You deserve more than just managing.

You deserve relief. You deserve healing. You deserve you.

You’re Not Too Much. And You’re Not Alone.

I know how scary it can feel to reach out. Especially when things are raw, or when you’ve tried therapy before and it didn’t quite go deep enough.

That’s why I offer a 45-minute consultation—so we can talk, get a feel for each other, and begin building safety from the start.

Whether you’re navigating complex trauma, anxiety, burnout, or simply feel like you’re unraveling under the surface, Modified Protocol EMDR can help your body and brain remember:
It’s over. You’re safe now. And there is a way through this.

You don’t have to hold it all together anymore. Let’s begin your healing. Click here to schedule your EMDR consultation in Salt Lake City or via online therapy across Utah.

Frequently Asked Questions About EMDR Therapy in Salt Lake and throughout Utah with Christy Kobe, LCSW, CCTP, EMDR Therapist Utah

  • EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an integrative, holistic, body-based therapy that helps you process trauma and release stuck responses and habitual mental, emotional and physical ways of responding.

  • This approach is specifically designed for complex trauma, childhood trauma or neglect, relational traumas, and traumas resulting in an insecure attachment style. The Modified Protocol is slower, more relational, and deeply personalized to your nervous system. It’s also more flexible, more intuitive and much less complicated for you as a client than the standard protocol EMDR in which most EMDR therapists are trained.

  • No. You never have to share more than you want to. Modified Protocol EMDR doesn’t require full retelling or even clear memories of the trauma—rather, it’s a process of helping your body to process the remnants of your trauma in a safe, contained way.

  • Anxiety, shame, dissociation, emotional overwhelm, relationship struggles, panic, and trauma—especially the kinds rooted in childhood, long-term stress, religious trauma, or having been in an abusive romantic relationship.

  • Yes. I offer EMDR sessions via online therapy throughout Utah, including in Salt Lake City and surrounding areas.

  • Then, Modified Protocol EMDR may be what you need. Many of my clients come to EMDR therapy after years of trying to talk their way through the pain their bodies, nervous systems and brains still carry.

  • Let’s talk. I offer a no-pressure consultation to help you feel it out.

 

There’s a way through this pain. I’ll walk it with you.
