Clinical Social Work Practice – Salty Counseling
Salty Counseling is a trauma specialty clinic at 2120 E 3900 S, Suite 101, Holladay, Utah 84124, serving Salt Lake City and surrounding communities including Millcreek, Draper, and Alpine. The practice is founded and directed by Q Porschatis, MSW, LCSW, who holds EMDRIA certification as an EMDR-certified trauma therapist and is completing advanced training as a Consultant-in-Training through the Trauma Therapist Institute. Q Porschatis is also affiliated with the LGBTQ-affirmative Psychotherapist Guild of Utah.
The clinic specializes in EMDR therapy, trauma therapy, anxiety therapy, somatic therapy, and stress and burnout counseling. The therapeutic approach integrates polyvagal-informed and somatic methods to support the EMDR processing work, placing emphasis on the nervous system and physical experience alongside cognitive and emotional dimensions. Ego state therapy is listed as an additional modality. The practice describes its orientation as nervous-system-informed care designed to help clients work through unresolved experiences and move beyond survival-driven patterns that affect current functioning.
Salty Counseling primarily works with women navigating perfectionism, people-pleasing behaviors, anxiety, self-doubt, and unresolved trauma that interferes with relationships and daily life. The practice places particular emphasis on the relationship between past experiences and the present patterns of behavior and relating that clients want to change.
Sessions are available in-person at the Holladay office and virtually for clients who prefer remote access. Office hours are Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM. The practice accepts out-of-network insurance, and prospective clients are encouraged to contact the office to verify benefits prior to beginning care. Specific session rates are available on the contact page of the website.
Beyond individual client work, Salty Counseling offers EMDR consultation for licensed therapists in Utah and nationwide, business consultations, and MSW internship supervision. These professional services reflect Q Porschatis’s training as a Consultant-in-Training and engagement with the broader clinical community. The combination of direct client care and professional consultation positions Salty Counseling as both a practice for individuals seeking trauma treatment and a resource for clinicians looking to develop their EMDR skills. New client inquiries are managed through an online contact form on the website. Phone: 801-203-0329.
