EMDR Therapists in Southwestern Denver, Denver, CO

Modern life holds many challenges that can take us out of balance with ourselves and those that we care about. Sometimes life's challenges and transitions become difficult to overcome on our own. I offer support and a comfortable environment to help you navigate your way to a place that feels better. In practice for over 20 years, I help adults and adolescents with a variety of challenges including, mood and anxiety disorders, trauma , eating and body image issues, relationship challenges and addiction problems. Together, we can find the way to a path that will bring you more peace, confidence and satisfaction.

Would you like to take control of your life? Are you looking for a happy and more fulfilling marriage? Would you like to gain freedom over past trauma? Zach Van Eps, MA, LPC, NCC aims to help people find relief from past traumas, healing in damaged relationships, and hope for a better future.

Life's stressors, anxieties and traumas can make it difficult to see the sun through the clouds. My aim is to invite sunlight back into your life by creating a space of warmth, safety and non-judgment. I believe healing happens in relationship; being truly seen and heard by another can have a profound impact on our ability to heal. Together we can work toward your goals.

I can help you with depression and anxiety and relationship difficulties. I work to help people move forward when they feel stuck in unhealthy patterns of feelings and behaviors. My belief is that we all have within us the capacity to flourish if the obstacles to doing that are identified and removed. I like to work with people who are committed to their healing and prepared to risk changing in order to thrive. I have experience helping clients heal from childhood trauma, from grief and loss of all kinds, from constant worry, and from persistent negative ideas about themselves. My approach is collaborative and interactive.

Many times, life transitions and unresolved trauma can make us feel like there is no way out. It can be overwhelming. But it does not have to be like that. As your therapist, I can provide a supportive nonjudgmental space for you to explore and resolve issues related to past trauma or present moment.

Try releasing your shoulders from your ears, unclenching your jaw, and removing your tongue from the roof of your mouth. We tend to hold onto stress in the least noticeable ways and subtle changes can help bring awareness to our stress patterns. Whether you find yourself struggling with anxiety, sexual/gender identity, relationships, life transitions, or the general stress of everyday life, you are in the right place. My hope is that through collaboration and a safe space to explore whatever it is you may be facing, I can be of support to you along your way.

Hello, my name is Iuliana Petre, and I am a CO LPC (LPC.0015281), and a WA LMHC (HC 60620931). In 2013, I graduated from Antioch University Seattle in Seattle, WA, with a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. At my counseling practice, I offer talk therapy and EMDR. Every client I work with begins as a talk therapy client. Some choose to utilize only this modality. For other clients — for whom EMDR may be appropriate — we'll engage in a conversation about using this treatment technique, after we’ve established a secure therapeutic alliance.

I see psychotherapy as a very essential tool for addressing difficulties, building skills, and honing strengths so that you can live your fullest life. Let's face it, life can get complicated. Sometimes even your day-to day can be hard. And the unexpected does happen. Some things we are not meant to go through alone. I can help with the everyday struggles as well as with the big, once-in-a lifetime events that we will all experience.

Constantly overthinking, being overly critical of yourself & your body, feeling anxious & insecure yet masking it, overworking & overachieving, & being afraid of disappointing others is an exhausting way to live. Can you imagine if you weren't so driven to people-please, perfect, & perform for others & lived with an unshakeable belief that you are fundamentally enough? I'd love for you to feel that. If in a life transition, consider yourself a highly sensitive person, or are simply interested in personal development, I'm here for that too. Let's get to the roots of things, shift stuck patterns, & make transformation happen together!

Life can be difficult to navigate even under the best of circumstances. I believe that counseling can provide clients with new insights into how they can use their strengths in order to meet whatever challenges life presents them with. My job as a counselor is to help clients identify those strengths and learn how to apply them in order to overcome their concerns and live more content lives.

Clients work with me to find the person hidden behind the protective walls they have built up to feel safe. They need, and want, to feel close to family and friends again but are scared it might not work out in their favor. Their goals are often to love themselves, speak up for themselves, and know they are capable no matter how hard life may be in this season. My clients want to let the past be the past and have their future go the way they've envisioned for so long.

Have you been dealing with symptoms of anxiety, depression, unresolved pain, or anger? How you feel impacts so many things- your relationships, your health, your sleep and your work. You may have tried making some changes to feel better on your own, however, you may be frustrated by your progress. You know things could be better. Finding a therapist you truly connect with can help you gain the skills you need to transform your life into one that feels calmer, more joyful and healthier.

I am currently serving clients virtually in Colorado and Florida. Whether you're ready to jump in or you're just exploring if therapy is a good fit for you, I'm here to walk next to you on your journey. Therapy is about helping you, the client, be the best version of who you want to be, at whatever stage you’re in. We work together to help you identify and choose what you want and need in your life, and empower you to work through the things that are preventing you from being there. “The things” could be anything causing difficulty for you or keeping you "stuck". I can help you see beyond what has been or what is, to what can be.
