EMDR Therapist in Denver & Wheat Ridge
Sometimes you know that something happened in the past, but your mind and body continue to react as though it's happening now.
Difficult experiences can shape how we see ourselves, how we relate to others, and how we respond to situations in the present. You might experience anxiety, distressing memories, self-doubt, or emotional reactions that feel difficult to understand or change.
I'm Amy, a Licensed Professional Counselor and Certified EMDR Therapist at Sunshine Counseling, PLLC. I offer EMDR therapy in Wheat Ridge and the Denver area.
What is EMDR Therapy?
EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. It's a structured psychotherapy approach that helps people process distressing memories and the thoughts, emotions, and beliefs associated with them.
EMDR incorporates bilateral stimulation as part of a structured treatment process. The approach and pace are tailored to your needs, history, and readiness.
Who Might Benefit From EMDR?
EMDR may be helpful for people working through the effects of:
- Trauma and distressing experiences
- Difficult memories that continue to affect daily life
- Anxiety and emotional distress
- Negative beliefs about themselves
- Experiences that affect relationships or self-esteem
- Patterns of emotional reactions connected to past experiences
EMDR isn't the right approach for every person or every concern. We'll discuss your goals, history, and readiness together to determine what may be appropriate.
What Does an EMDR Session Look Like?
EMDR isn't about immediately diving into your most painful memories.
We'll begin by getting to know you, understanding what brings you to therapy, and building the skills and stability needed for the work.
If EMDR is appropriate, we'll move through the process collaboratively. You remain an active participant, and we'll work at a pace that takes your needs and sense of safety into account.
90-Minute EMDR Intensive Sessions
In addition to standard therapy sessions, I offer 90-minute EMDR intensive sessions for $255.
Longer sessions can provide additional time for focused therapeutic work when appropriate. We'll discuss whether this format makes sense for your goals during an initial consultation.
