Emily Hawkins, LCSW C-IAYT
Salt City Wellness Founder
Mental Health & Yoga Therapist Contact Emily
With over 20 years of experience as a therapist, social worker, director and educator, I am passionate about bringing the tools for health and wellness to everyone - to help individuals work from their strengths and build lives of consistent wellness and joy. Born and raised in Salt Lake City, I grew up hiking, fishing and exploring the Wasatch mountains and streams, where I developed my deep love for and awareness of the healing capacity of nature and our own bodies.
I am an empowerment and strengths based therapist. My therapeutic approach combines present moment focused therapy and evidenced based therapies to assist clients to effectively address personal life challenges. I integrate complementary methodologies and techniques to offer a highly personalized approach tailored to each client. With compassion and understanding, I work with each individual to help them build on their strengths and attain the personal growth they are committed to accomplishing. As a Utah born individual, I am passionate about working with individuals exploring their relationship to the LDS church, regardless of their church standing - Exploring issues of spirituality, personal growth and meaning and healing.
Among my areas of expertise are working with the impact of trauma and childhood experiences, psychology of women, sexual violence, oppression and relationship dynamics. I am skilled in somatic and IFS informed EMDR, ACT, Attachment and Mindfulness therapies Other areas of interest include the impact of trauma and other experiences on the brain and body, mindfulness based psychotherapy, integration of the mind-body experience and spirituality based work.
