EMDR Therapists in Denver, CO

I specialize in working with both couples and individuals who are dealing with complex trauma, PTSD, and religious trauma, as well as those who are exploring their identity and navigating life transitions, such as relationship ruptures, career changes & grief. I provide therapy to both adults and youth ages 16+. In addition, I specialize in working with Latin/Hispanic and LGBTQIA+ individuals. I am particularly passionate about supporting expats and professionals from Latin American countries as they adjust to a new culture and build a life away from home. I work with couples experiencing trauma, life crises, and major transitions.

The world has become a stressful place and while it has always been stressful, we have less community and connection. These times have really put a strain on us as individuals, our relationships, our families, our jobs/school and created overwork, stress, and trauma. Honestly, doing healthy relationship and navigating stress and trauma are not skills we have been equipped with. Therapy has become the space to learn those skills, navigate stress, do self care, live presently in life, and process the trauma that's historical and present in our day to day.

People don't usually seek counseling because everything feels like "sunshine and rainbows". Typically, if you're here, you're hoping to motivate change in your life. If you are finding yourself stuck in the same patterns, having the same fights and struggling with the same problems, counseling may be a good fit for you. While there is no guarantee to a happier or 'better' you, I believe that counseling is a great place to start. As your counselor, we can work together to create a safe & comfortable place for you to explore tough moments in life, where learning, growth, (and even change!), occur.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and have a Master’s in Professional Counseling from Texas State University. I have been a practicing therapist since June 2018. I have worked with a wide variety of issues such as depression, anxiety, posttraumatic stress, trauma, regulation, substance abuse, and communication, and interpersonal relationships. I have worked primarily at agencies and have helped individuals and families in crisis as well as providing traditional individual therapy. I have worked with children (7+) to adults of all ages, backgrounds, and cultures. I am also able to provide therapy in Spanish.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Registered Play Therapist, I offer compassionate support for children and adults dealing with various issues, including anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship/family difficulties. My goal is to create a comfortable and non-judgmental environment where clients can explore their emotions and begin healing.

I am a non-binary, queer, neurodivergent, white, parent, educator and activist. All of these identities inform my approach as well as my experience in the world. I conceptualize my role in therapy as a thought partner and story mapper. I work with clients to explore narratives and experiences, and note behavioral patterns with the aim of making the unconscious conscious. In addition to my role as a therapist I am a writer and passionate advocate for inclusivity within businesses and communities.

I offer a compassionate approach to psychotherapy that works through the body to bring unconscious information (often held as tensions,chronic illness, nervous system disorders, anxiety, depression, nightmares, low self-esteem and inabilities to function at full capacity)into conscious awareness, facilitating deep and lasting changes. Our childhood wounds and traumas become blocks to the manifestation of our purpose/gifts. I honor the inherent wisdom of my clients and help them find authentic expression of their gifts. My strengths are my ability to use my intuition to help clients "put the pieces together," and my own personal experience with resolving trauma.

Now offering EMDR Intensives - half or full day EMDR session to move through issues and reduce symptoms quickly while eliminating the need for weekly, long-term therapy. Because healing is possible. Your story matters. If you are feeling stuck in negative emotional patterns and behaviors? . I believe and support the body and brain’s natural capacity to heal and will work alongside you to develop and utilize through resources. My approach is individualized and collaborative to your experience and needs. I offer a non-judgmental, safe environment to explore these experiences and work towards growth and healing.

I know first hand how overwhelming it is to find a counselor that's the right fit. I am so glad you are here. Life can be difficult, but it doesn't have to feel unmanageable. We all need support and guidance as we work to navigate daily life. Living in constant fear is paralyzing and feels like you are trapped in your own body. You feel stuck and worry if you will ever find relief. Change is possible and I am here to help. I work with adults who struggle with issues related to anxiety, life transitions, and trauma. I am relational in my approach, meaning that I work to establish authentic connection in the therapeutic relationship.

As a dedicated trauma therapist, I have special training and expertise in working with children (4-11) and families that have experienced trauma. I also have extensive experience in working with families whose children are facing end-of-life situations, life-limiting illnesses, and chronic health issues. I believe that children and parents are the experts in their lives and view my role as a catalyst for greater connection, attachment, healing, and meaningful change. As a clinical social worker, I recognize the impact systems and institutions can have on children and families and will be your advocate as you navigate these systems

A healthy sense of humor is just as much a bridge to another soul as it is a shield against the unbearable. My clients often laugh as much as they cry or express anger, and I think that's important in the business of healing. What do you want to heal? Is there something about your relationship with a loved one that feels uncomfortable or unsafe? Do you need a non-judgmental space to help you figure out what you want or who you are?

The path towards healing may involve deepening the mind-body connection. We hold onto stress in the smallest of ways. By brining awareness to our subconscious patterns, we can begin to healing. If you find yourself struggling with grief/loss, depression, trauma, anxiety, life transitions, substance use, or any everyday stressor you have come to the right place. My hope is to provide a safe space and collaborative treatment in which we can explore what it is that maybe interfering with your daily life. I offer a relational and non-judgmental approach to help process life's ups and downs.

I address a range of concerns with clients including depression, anxiety, relationships, addiction and trauma. I believe that therapy offers the unique opportunity to work on your relationship with yourself, which consequently improves your relationships with others. I guide clients towards a deeper self-awareness and greater emotional resiliency. In my work, I emphasize the importance of self-compassion and taking a mindful stance towards your thoughts and emotions. When we are able to approach our internal life with curiosity and compassion, life is much easier to navigate, and strong emotion states won't overwhelm us.

I enjoy working with people of all ages and from all walks of life. I enjoy helping them find solutions to whatever challenges life is presenting them with. For some people, this may mean that they need only a few sessions, or what I call a"minor tune-up", before they are back on course with their lives. For others, this may mean more in-depth therapy to help find solutions to problems that have persisted over many years. And yet for others, they may not have any problems at all to solve per se.

If you are an ambitious woman in a constant state of stress, anxiety, self-doubt, and exhaustion, you made it to the right place. Are you stuck in an endless loop of worry and fear, unable to enjoy life's simple pleasures? The weight of anxiety leaves you feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, and unable to fully embrace the joys of life. Imagine a life where anxiety no longer holds you back, where you have the tools to overcome daily struggles, and where you feel a renewed sense of control and enjoyment of life.

Welcome to a journey of self-discovery and healing! I am Lynette Garber, a dedicated and compassionate licensed social worker and Marriage and Family Therapist Candidate. I strive to help individuals navigate the complexities of their mental and emotional well-being. My focus is to incorporate compassion and humor to help build self-awareness, resiliency and freedom from unhealthy patterns and past pains.

I currently serve clients virtually and in-person in Colorado and virtually from Florida. 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.

I completed my doctoral training at the University of Denver Graduate School of Professional Psychology and have over thirteen years of experience in private practice and five years post-graduate experience in outpatient clinics and medical settings. I am a generalist and work with adults from 18 to 100+.
