Shaurie Wade

She sees children from about age six, teens, and adults who are navigating trauma, domestic violence, abuse, grief, or a life that has changed faster than they could adjust to it — along with the anxiety and depression that usually come with all of that.

Her work centers on getting three things back: a sense of safety, a sense of your own power, and some realistic hope about what comes next.

For teens and adults she draws on EMDR, CBT, and DBT within a trauma-informed frame — processing what happened, then building the coping skills that hold once the session ends. She is a certified EMDR therapist (EMDR-C).

With children she works through play. Child-centered play therapy and sandplay give kids a way to show and sort through experiences they don't yet have words for, which is often the only honest route in at that age.

Her crisis-intervention training means she stays steady in the hardest moments, and she is direct that healing happens inside a real relationship — so she meets clients where they actually are rather than where a treatment plan says they should be.

Shaurie offers in-person sessions in Bountiful and telehealth across Utah and Idaho. She is a pre-licensed clinician practicing under Dr. Victoria Brown's supervision.

Early on, the two of you set the goals together — she is deliberate about that, because trauma work goes better when the person doing it knows what they're working toward. A free 15-minute consultation is the place to start, and parents are welcome to make that call on a child's behalf.
