EMDR Therapy
EMDR Therapy for Women in Broomfield
You’ve held it together a long time. From the outside it works. But something still gets through. A reaction bigger than the moment. A memory that arrives when you’re doing nothing in particular. EMDR helps your brain finish what got interrupted.

The Method
What EMDR Actually Does
Some of what happened to you never got filed as over. Your body still reads it as present tense. That’s why you react the way you do. In situations that don’t warrant it. Years later.
EMDR moves it into the past, where it belongs. You hold a piece of the memory in mind. Your therapist runs short sets of bilateral stimulation, usually eye movements, sometimes taps or tones through headphones. She stops after each one and asks what moved. You won’t have to narrate the whole thing.
Colorado Women’s Center is designed for women, so you won’t spend your first session explaining context that should already be understood. EMDR is one of the approaches available among our therapy methods.

Our Promise to You
We Guarantee Our Therapist Matching
Telling someone you want a different therapist is an uncomfortable conversation. You shouldn’t have to have it. Tell us instead, and if the first therapist isn’t the right fit, we’ll match you with another at no additional cost.
What This Works On
What EMDR Helps With
Trauma is the most common reason. It isn’t the only one. Not close. None of it has to reach a crisis before it’s worth bringing in.
Trauma and PTSD
Something happened, and part of you never got the message that it was over. Trauma & PTSD therapy using EMDR works on the memory itself, not on how well you can tell it.
Anxiety That Won’t Quiet Down
You’re braced before you know what for. Reasoning with it doesn’t touch it. It just sits there. EMDR works on the experiences underneath, which is usually where that kind of anxiety lives.
Panic Attacks
It arrives in the car. Or the grocery aisle. Nothing explains it. What it’s attached to is much older, and that’s what gets worked on.
Painful Memories
Some stay sharp for years. You can’t say why that one. EMDR gives your brain a way to put it down.
Childhood Experiences
You were small. It got settled before you could argue with it. A lot of what you still believe about yourself. EMDR can work on those memories without a tidy story attached.
Grief and Loss
Grief tangles. With guilt. With a conversation you’d take back. Then it stops moving, and EMDR can work on the one moment you keep returning to.
Phobias and Fears
The fear is bigger than the thing. It started somewhere. EMDR works on that point, so your body has something else to do next time.
Negative Self-Beliefs
I should be able to handle this. I’m too much. From the inside they feel like facts. They aren’t. EMDR works on the experiences that made them feel that way.
Our Approach
Starting EMDR at the Broomfield Office
Reprocessing isn’t step one. EMDR therapy in Broomfield starts with preparation. Here’s how it goes.
Start With a Match Call
You’ll talk with a Wellness Coordinator first. She asks what you’re looking for, EMDR included if that’s what you came for, and matches you on that, on whether Broomfield or online suits you, and on therapist specialty and experience.
Preparation and Grounding
Your first sessions are history and skills. No reprocessing yet. Your therapist learns what you’re carrying and how you handle being activated, then gives you something to use in the weeks between. Nothing gets targeted until that feels steady.
Reprocessing at Your Pace
You and your therapist pick a target together, and the belief that came with it. Then short sets, with a check-in after each one. You set the speed. You can stop. Sessions are 50 minutes, and longer intensives of about three hours are available when your therapist thinks the format fits.
At the Broomfield Office or Online
The office is in the Chanson Centre on W. 120th Ave., with access from US 36 and parking on site. Other kinds of therapy in Broomfield are at the same address. Sessions run seven days a week, 8am to 8pm.

Common Questions
EMDR Questions Broomfield Women Ask Us
What does a session actually look like?
You and your therapist pick a target memory and the belief attached to it. Then you work through short sets of bilateral stimulation, with a pause after each one to check what moved. A session is 50 minutes. You set the pace, and you can stop a set at any point without explaining yourself.
Is what I went through bad enough for this?
Yes, and you don’t have to decide that in advance. Women use EMDR at Colorado Women’s Center for anxiety that never settles, for memories that still carry a charge, and for old beliefs about themselves. There is no threshold to clear. If something from your past is shaping how you feel now, bring it to the Match Call.
Do I have to talk about it?
No. Your therapist needs a target and enough to follow what surfaces during a set. Past that, what you say is yours to decide. She’ll tell you before each set what she’s asking you to hold in mind, so nothing arrives without warning.
How long does EMDR take?
That’s decided between you and your therapist rather than set in advance. It depends on what you bring and how much of it connects. Your therapist builds a plan with you early and revisits it. It also depends on how the sessions are sitting with you. If a stretch is hard to tolerate, your therapist slows the pace or comes back to grounding first. That’s part of how EMDR is meant to run. Sessions at the Broomfield office are 50 minutes.
How soon can I be seen in Broomfield?
Match Calls are usually available within 48 hours and often within 24. Most clients are scheduled with a therapist inside a week, depending on your own availability. The Broomfield office is open seven days a week, 8am to 8pm, so evenings and weekends are available. Call 720.810.2355 or use the form on this page.
Can I do this from home?
Yes. Instead of eye movements you use alternating taps you do yourself, or tones through headphones, over secure video anywhere in Colorado. Plenty of Broomfield clients do both, some weeks in the office and some from home. Our online therapy page covers how it’s set up.
What if I’m not sure EMDR is what I need?
Say that on the Match Call. Your Wellness Coordinator will note EMDR as what you’re considering and match you with a Broomfield therapist trained in it. What you actually start with gets worked out between you and her in the first sessions. Booking a call doesn’t commit you to a method.
