"You Don't Have to Keep Carrying This"
EMDR Therapy in Broomfield

From the outside, everything looks fine. The house, the routine, the life you’ve built. But something underneath keeps pulling at you. The worry that won’t stop. The tension you can’t shake. EMDR can help you process what’s been stuck so you can actually feel as okay as things look.

Is EMDR in Broomfield Right for Me?

You might be here because you’ve been holding it together for so long that no one knows how much you’re struggling. You’ve got the job, the family, the life. And underneath it, an anxiety that hums constantly, memories that still sting, or a heaviness you’ve learned to work around.

Broomfield can feel like a place where everything should be fine. Good schools, safe neighborhoods, a comfortable life. Which makes it harder to explain why you’re not fine. Why the past keeps surfacing. Why you still react the way you do.

But you don’t need to justify your pain. And you don’t need things to get worse before you get help.

EMDR helps your brain finish processing what got interrupted. It doesn’t require you to relive every moment or explain every detail. It works with how your brain naturally heals, helping old experiences finally settle.

EMDR might be a good fit if you:

  • Feel anxious or on edge without a clear reason
  • Have memories that still carry an emotional charge
  • Notice yourself overreacting and don’t know why
  • Have tried talk therapy but still feel stuck in certain patterns
  • Want to stop just coping and actually feel better

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing

What EMDR Actually Does

EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. The name is clinical, but the experience is more intuitive than it sounds, especially if you’re already familiar with somatic or body-based approaches.

Here’s what happens: Your brain already knows how to heal. When you cut your finger, your body closes the wound without you thinking about it. EMDR works similarly. It helps your brain complete the processing of experiences that got interrupted or stuck.

During EMDR, you’ll focus briefly on a memory or sensation while your therapist guides you through bilateral stimulation, often eye movements, taps, or tones. This engages both hemispheres of your brain and helps move the experience from “stuck” to “stored.”

You won’t have to narrate every detail. You won’t have to perform your trauma. Many clients are surprised by how much shifts without having to verbalize everything.

Most women describe the change like this: “The memory is still there, but it doesn’t run me anymore. It feels like something that happened, not something that’s still happening.”

If you’ve felt like you’ve done everything right and still can’t shake certain patterns, EMDR might be the missing piece.

3 Steps to Doing EMDR in Broomfield

Step 1: Match Tell us what you’re facing and what you want in am EMDR therapist. We’ll pair you with someone whose experience and style fit what you’re looking for.

Step 2: Meet Your first sessions focus on building safety, setting goals, and developing grounding tools you can use between visits.

Step 3: Move Forward When you’re ready, we begin EMDR at your pace, with a plan tailored to your life and your history.

What to Expect and Timing

Session length Typically 50 minutes, though some clients benefit from extended sessions during active EMDR processing. We do offer EMDR intensives that are 3 hour sessions.

Frequency and duration Varies based on your needs. Many clients combine EMDR with talk therapy or other approaches. Your therapist will create a personalized plan and adjust it with you over time.

Pacing EMDR can feel activating. That’s why we build grounding tools first and go at a pace that feels manageable. You’re always in control of when to slow down, pause, or stop.

Online EMDR Works well for many clients using tapping or tones instead of eye movements. If getting to our Broomfield center doesn’t fit your schedule, online is a flexible option.

You don’t have to keep reliving what happened or white-knuckling through your week. There’s a steadier way forward.

How EMDR Therapy Can Help

EMDR helps women process experiences that talk therapy alone can’t always reach. EMDR doesn’t erase memories. It helps your brain file them properly so they stop running the show.

Trauma and PTSD

Whether from a single event or years of difficult experiences, EMDR helps your brain process what happened so it stops showing up uninvited.

Anxiety That Won't Quiet Down

When anxiety lives in your body, the racing heart, the tight chest, the dread you can’t explain, EMDR can help calm the nervous system patterns that keep it running.

Panic Attacks

EMDR addresses the root experiences that trigger panic, reducing the intensity and frequency over time.

Painful Memories

Memories that still sting years later often haven’t fully processed. EMDR helps your brain file them so they lose their charge.

Childhood Experiences

Early experiences shape how we see ourselves and the world. EMDR can help reprocess old wounds that still affect your relationships, confidence, and choices.

Grief and Loss

When grief feels stuck, tangled with guilt, regret, or things left unsaid, EMDR can help you move through it without staying trapped.

Phobias and Fears

Intense fears often trace back to a specific moment. EMDR helps soften the memory so the fear response quiets.

Negative Self-Beliefs

“I’m not good enough.” “It was my fault.” “I can’t trust myself.” EMDR helps rewire the experiences underneath these beliefs so they stop feeling like truth.

What Success Looks Like

“I didn’t think what I went through was ‘bad enough’ for trauma therapy. But it was affecting everything. My sleep, my patience with my kids, my relationship. EMDR helped me process things I didn’t even have words for. I finally feel like myself again.”
— CWC Client, Broomfield

Our Approach

We don’t rush into processing. The first sessions focus on building safety, getting to know each other, and making sure you have grounding tools before we go deeper.

When we begin EMDR, you stay in control. You can slow down, pause, or stop at any point. Your therapist is a guide, not someone pushing you through a protocol.

Some women feel shifts within a few sessions. Others need more time. There’s no correct timeline. Just yours.

Why Broomfield Women Choose CWC for EMDR

You could find an EMDR therapist closer to home. But CWC offers something harder to find: a team that takes the time to get it right.

We don’t do cookie-cutter treatment. We don’t rush through protocols to check boxes. We meet you where you are and build a plan around your life, your history, and what you actually need.

Matching matters. Every new client starts with a Match Call. Our Wellness Coordinators listen to what you’re looking for and connect you with a therapist whose style, experience, and approach fit your needs. Not a random assignment. A thoughtful match.

We stand behind it. If your first therapist isn’t the right fit, we’ll find you another at no extra cost. No uncomfortable conversations. No repeating your history from scratch.

Women-centered care. CWC was built for women. Our therapists understand the specific pressures women carry, the mental load, the emotional labor, the expectation to manage everything while appearing effortless.

Experienced clinicians. Our EMDR therapists have years of clinical experience. They know how to work with layered histories, subtle trauma, and the kind of pain that doesn’t always have a name.

EMDR FAQs

Q: What if I'm not sure what I need to process?
A: Yes. Many Broomfield clients do EMDR through secure video using tapping or tones. It’s effective and saves you the commute.
A: That’s okay. Many women come to EMDR with a general sense of anxiety or stuckness rather than a specific memory. Your therapist will help you identify what’s driving your symptoms and where to focus. You don’t need to arrive with a list.
A: Often, yes. EMDR works differently than insight-based therapy. If you understand your patterns but still feel stuck in them, EMDR can help your nervous system catch up to what your mind already knows.
A: It depends on your history and goals. Some women feel meaningful shifts in 6 to 12 sessions. Others with more complex experiences benefit from longer-term work. Your therapist will build a plan with you and adjust as you go.
