What can I expect during my first therapy session?

In your first session, we will listen to your concerns, gather relevant history, discuss your goals, and begin creating a personalized treatment plan to support your mental health journey. We aim to make the first visit informative and comfortable.

How does anxiety therapy work at Carbajal Counseling?

Our anxiety therapy focuses on structured approaches that help you understand and address anxious thoughts and behaviors. We provide coping strategies, explore triggers, and tailor treatment to your specific needs so you can reduce worry and improve daily functioning.

Can Carbajal Counseling help with depression?

Yes, we offer compassionate support for depression that helps you understand how emotions and thoughts affect your mood, build coping skills, and work toward improved happiness and functioning.

What is EMDR therapy and how does it help?

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based therapy that helps individuals process distressing memories and trauma. EMDR works by engaging both cognitive and emotional healing mechanisms, helping people integrate past experiences in a healthier way.

Do you offer therapy for children?

Yes, we provide child therapy that helps young clients express emotions, develop coping tools, and work through challenges like anxiety, behavioral issues, and school concerns in a safe, supportive environment.

What is teen therapy like?

Our teen therapy creates a nonjudgmental space for adolescents to explore stress, identity, peer relationships, and emotional challenges with support tailored to their developmental needs.

How can family therapy help my family?

Family therapy at our practice helps families improve communication, navigate conflict, support children's emotional needs, and rebuild connection. We work collaboratively with families to create healthier relational patterns.

Can therapy help with parent-child conflict?

Yes, family therapy is effective for reducing parent-child conflict by creating shared understanding, teaching communication skills, and involving children in ways that help them feel heard and supported.

Do you provide marriage counseling?

Yes, our marriage counseling services support couples in improving communication, resolving ongoing conflict, rebuilding trust, and strengthening intimacy within the relationship.

What kinds of mental health concerns do your therapists treat?

We treat a broad range of concerns including anxiety, depression, trauma, behavioral struggles, grief and loss, relationship issues, and life transitions. Our therapists are trained to approach each concern with evidence-based strategies.

What makes your therapists qualified?

Our team includes licensed clinicians with diverse training and expertise in trauma, play therapy, EMDR, cognitive behavior therapy, family systems approaches, and more. We match clients with therapists whose strengths align with their needs.

Do you offer therapy in-person and online?

Yes, we provide both in-office therapy at our Kaysville, Syracuse, and Ogden locations and secure telehealth sessions so clients can receive care in the way that works best for them.

Is therapy confidential?

Yes, all therapy at Carbajal Counseling is private and confidential. We follow professional and legal standards to protect your privacy and create a safe space for healing.

How long does therapy typically take?

Duration varies based on personal goals and needs. Some people engage in short-term therapy to address specific issues, while others benefit from ongoing support as they work toward broader growth and resilience.

Can therapy help with trauma or past painful experiences?

Yes, trauma-informed approaches including EMDR and other evidence-based methods help clients process past distressing experiences and reduce their impact on present life and functioning.

How can play therapy help children at Carbajal Counseling?

We use play therapy to help children express and process complex emotions in a natural, nonverbal way. Through guided play, children can build emotional awareness and coping skills in a setting that feels safe and engaging.

How do I schedule an appointment?

You can schedule by calling our office at (801) 989-3488, emailing info@carbajalcounseling.com, or using the contact form on our website to begin your therapy journey.

Do you accept insurance and what are my options?

Rates and insurance acceptance vary by clinician and plan. We recommend contacting our office or your insurance provider to confirm coverage, out-of-network benefits, or self-pay options that suit your situation.

I have a great life and everything I need—my anxiety doesn’t warrant counseling.

If anxiety is compromising your quality of life—regardless of how many support systems you have in place—then you deserve to feel better. A counselor can help you to understand where your anxiety comes from and provide you with lifelong skills for managing its impact on you. There is no reason to suffer in silence; therapy can be a great resource for you.

I don’t understand how play therapy will help with my child’s anxiety.

Because children express themselves primarily through play, play therapy is a useful tool in helping children to understand, process, and verbalize their emotions. Your child’s therapist will incorporate play therapy into their anxiety treatment in a way that will not only help them to understand your child’s fears but will also give them an opportunity to model healthy coping behaviors for your child. This evidence-based approach has been highly successful at targeting mental health issues in younger populations. And we have seen our child clients who struggle with anxiety make great strides in counseling using this modality.

Why can’t I just take medication for my anxiety?

Though medication can be a quick fix for alleviating symptoms of anxiety, it doesn’t do anything to treat the core issue of the problem. A counselor, on the other hand, can give you tangible, lasting skills that will promote positive change in your life so that anxiety doesn’t create so many setbacks. Furthermore, we know from research that psychotherapy is more effective than medication when it comes to treatment for anxiety.
