a Symbol of Strength, Growth, and New Life.

Emilee is the founder and a lead therapist at Koru Wellness in Lehi, Utah, where she integrates trauma-informed psychotherapy with cutting-edge treatments such as ketamine-assisted therapy for adults, couples, and groups. Her practice emphasizes relational healing, somatic awareness, and neuroplasticity-informed interventions, offering clients tools to break unhelpful patterns and foster deeper connection and resilience.

Nathan has been an Emergency Room Physician for 22 years, and spent the first 20 years of his practice in the high stress environment of Emergency Rooms and various trauma centers.  In 2023 he experienced the benefits of ketamine treatment as a patient himself, and it changed the entire course of his career. He is now a full time ketamine provider and brings his years of experience working with ketamine to Koru, overseeing the medical side of our ketamine program. He is passionate about the science and data supporting ketamine for mental health, and is finding joy again in watching his patients heal in their mental health journey.

Michelle works with individuals and couples navigating trauma, faith transitions, religious trauma, self-worth struggles, relationship concerns, anxiety, depression, and major life changes. She is especially passionate about helping clients work through perfectionism, people-pleasing, attachment wounds, burnout, boundary challenges, and the persistent belief that they are “not enough.” Her approach is warm, collaborative, trauma-informed, and grounded in EMDR and IFS-informed therapy. Michelle believes clients are not broken, but may be carrying beliefs and protective responses that once helped them cope and no longer serve the life they want to create. She provides a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where clients can better understand themselves, reconnect with their strengths and values, and build more authentic relationships with themselves and others.
