Advanced Trauma Therapy & Identity Reconstruction in Salt Lake City
Built success but still feel off? Struggling to find yourself after trauma, burnout, or injury?
We help adults rebuild their identity, regain direction, and move forward with purpose using a proven 90-day framework.
If you've been in therapy for months or years and still feel stuck, you're not broken. You may be missing the piece that most trauma treatment never addresses: identity. At the Utah Center for Trauma Recovery, we use the Integrated Trauma Resolution Model (ITRM) to fully resolve complex PTSD and trauma, not manage it indefinitely. Our structured program goes beyond symptom relief to rebuild who you are after trauma, restoring your sense of purpose, confidence, and future. We serve adults across Utah, including Salt Lake City and surrounding communities.
A different approach to trauma recovery
Structured treatment, not open-ended sessions
Our ITRM program follows a defined clinical path — so you always know where you are in your healing and what comes next.
Identity reconstruction, not just symptom management
We address the whole person: the trauma, the root cause, and the identity that gets lost along the way. Because symptom relief without rebuilding who you are is only half the job.
Support between sessions
when real life happens healing doesn't pause between appointments. Our program provides continuity of care so you get help when you actually need it, not just on your scheduled day.
Treatment built on the ITRM: Integrated Trauma Resolution Model
The Integrated Trauma Resolution Model is the clinical framework that powers every treatment program at UCTR. Developed by founder Jordan Meyer, the ITRM is the only structured protocol in Utah designed to fully resolve trauma and rebuild identity, not simply reduce symptoms over time.
Unlike traditional therapy approaches, the ITRM treats trauma in a defined sequence: stabilizing the nervous system, processing the trauma at its root, reconstructing the identity that trauma collapsed, and restoring your vision for the future.
The result isn't feeling a little better. It's being genuinely different.
How treatment works at UCTR: A structured path to full recovery
-
Step 1: We start by understanding your symptoms and your story; what happened, how it lives in your body, and how it has shaped your life since.
Step 2: We identify the root cause and build a personalized treatment plan using the ITRM framework, so your care is specific to you, not a generic protocol.
Step 3: We help you build the capacity to cope and regulate your nervous system, so you're not white-knuckling it between sessions while waiting for relief.
Step 4: We process and resolve the trauma at its root; using EMDR, trauma-focused therapy, and ITRM protocols so the trauma stops running your life.
Step 5: We help you rebuild your identity and your life restoring your sense of self, your relationships, and your ability to build a future without fear or limitation.
When you complete treatment at UCTR, you won't just feel better. You'll be different: with a renewed identity, restored relationships, and the confidence to live with purpose again.

Meet the Founder
At 16, a spinal injury took more than my ability to walk. It took away who I was.
Relearning to walk was hard. Relearning my identity was harder. That experience, the collapse of self after a life-altering event, and the long process of rebuilding became the foundation of everything I do as a clinician, researcher, and speaker.
I'm a trauma therapist, PhD candidate in performance psychology, and the creator of the Identity Reconstruction Model (IRM) a framework built on both lived experience and clinical research. I founded the Utah Center for Trauma Recovery because I knew there had to be a better way than indefinite weekly therapy. The ITRM is that better way.
If you've survived something that changed who you are, I understand that more than most. And I built this practice specifically for you.

Every program at UCTR is built on the Integrated Trauma Resolution Model (ITRM). a structured clinical approach that fully resolves trauma and rebuilds identity, not just manages symptoms. Treatment is structured, supported between sessions, and designed around you
"Trauma does not show up once a week for 50 minutes — and real healing shouldn't either."

Where Your Recovery Begins
Every client starts here. Before any treatment begins, we complete a comprehensive trauma diagnostic assessment — a full clinical picture of your history, symptoms, identity patterns, and nervous system functioning. This is how we build a treatment plan that's actually specific to you, not a one-size-fits-all protocol.
Includes:
2-hour clinical diagnostic assessment
Full trauma history and symptom evaluation
Nervous system and identity pattern assessment
Personalized treatment plan built on the ITRM framework
(Price waived when paid as part of a program package)
-
Focused trauma work without a long-term commitment.
Designed for clients who want to begin real trauma processing and see meaningful progress before committing to a full program. Six 90-minute sessions of structured, intensive ITRM-based treatment, not 6 weeks of talk therapy.
Includes:
Six 90-minute trauma therapy sessions
EMDR trauma processing
Identity reconstruction work
Nervous system stabilization strategies
Messaging support between sessions when needed
Best for: Adults who want focused, results-driven trauma work with room to continue into a longer program.
-
Community-based healing with clinical structure.
A structured 3-month group program for adults ready to move from surviving to growing. Combines psycho-education, group processing, and skill development; all grounded in the ITRM framework.
Includes:
Weekly group sessions (psychoeducation + process groups)
ITRM-based skills training and lessons
Access to the UCTTR workbook
One 90-minute individual one-on-one session

Our most comprehensive program — therapy and coaching combined.
This is the flagship UCTR program. Designed for adults who are ready to fully resolve their trauma, rebuild their identity, and step into their next chapter — not spend another year in maintenance therapy. The 90-Day program combines structured trauma therapy with coaching, built around the ITRM, so that every session moves you forward on a defined clinical path.
Unlike open-ended therapy, this is plan-driven. Sessions that would typically be used for venting need to be scheduled separately, because this program is designed to produce transformation, not just provide a space to talk.
Includes:
Weekly 90-minute trauma therapy sessions
EMDR and ITRM-based trauma processing
Identity reconstruction work
Nervous system regulation training
Coaching and between-session support
UCTR workbook and resource toolkit
Swag bag with curated trauma recovery tools
Best for: Adults committed to full recovery, not symptom management. Especially powerful for those who have experienced identity collapse following injury, loss, abuse, or life-altering events.

For clients who need to make rapid progress or who are traveling from out of state. Our multi-day intensive format compresses months of trauma work into a focused, immersive experience. Conducted in person, this program is built for adults who can't wait for weekly appointments to create change.
