Specializing in
EMDR
Release what holds you back with EMDR therapy. EMDR helps you safely process past experiences that may be limiting your life today. Through structured, evidence-based techniques, you can reduce emotional distress, overcome old patterns & obstacles, and support your nervous system.
Trauma
Trauma can leave lasting impacts on how you feel and connect with others. Our evidence-based trauma therapy focuses on restoring safety, balance, and self-compassion, helping you reclaim a sense of control and well-being.
Perinatal
Perinatal trauma doesn’t begin and end with birth. Traumatic experiences can occur before, during, or after delivery, and can even extend into the first three years postpartum. These experiences can leave lingering emotional, mental, and physical impacts that affect both you and your family. The perinatal period is one of the most vulnerable times in a woman’s life. You don’t have to navigate it alone.
Attachment
When relationships feel difficult or unsafe, attachment therapy offers a path toward healing. In a safe and supportive space, you can understand your attachment patterns and begin to form healthier, more secure emotional bonds with others and with yourself.

Hello, my name is Janay Langford. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I’m a Southern Utah native and a desert girl at heart, with a love for sunshine, wide-open spaces, and the natural beauty that surrounds this community. I enjoy getting to know the heart of the people here, connecting with locals and clients alike, and exploring all that Southern Utah has to offer. An outdoor enthusiast, you’ll often find me hiking, soaking in the red rock landscapes, or discovering new scenic trails. My connection to this community informs my approach to therapy—grounded, compassionate, and rooted in understanding the unique rhythms of life here.
