Trauma & EMDR Therapy for Adults in Fort Collins, Colorado
Helping adults heal childhood and attachment wounds behind people-pleasing, perfectionism, anxiety, and relationship patterns.
Offering 90-minute extended therapy sessions and EMDR intensives for deeper, more focused trauma work
If you are…
- Tired of relationships that feel unfulfilling, full of conflict, overwhelming, or emotionally empty
- Stuck in patterns of insecurity with friends and loved ones, constantly anxious about abandonment or walling yourself off from emotional intimacy
- Caught up in anxiety spirals, with out-of-control worries, muscle tension, and a cold pit in your stomach that never leaves
- Sick of feeling like you’re not enough or too much, and weighed down by feelings of low self-worth or self-hatred
- Exhausted by a relentless perfectionism that never lets you rest, or by constant people-pleasing that is draining you of life and love
- Experiencing a life transition or a loss that is shaking the foundation of your identity, security, or sense of certainty about the future
What I want for you is…
- To find the old wounds that need healing and feel safe to explore what freedom from that pain could feel like
- To experience satisfying relationships with your loved ones where you feel seen, held, connected, and safe
- To feel a deep sense of wholeness, a grounded and settled sense of peace that starts in your body and flows out into every other area of your life
- To know your worth regardless of what others tell you, and embrace warmth and compassion for yourself
- To be able to set boundaries without guilt, so you can say no and still feel like you can breathe
- To find stability and hope in the midst of change, and recover a sense of meaning, purpose, and identity that sustains you
My name is Yesim (“Yeh-shim”).
I know how much courage it takes to recognize when something doesn’t feel right in your life and to take the step to start therapy—especially if it’s your first time. If you’re ready to heal wounds that have been aching for a long time, and if you’re ready for your past to stop dictating your present, then I would love to connect.
My approach is holistic, focusing on not just your mind and emotions, but also helping you integrate your healing in your nervous system and body. If spirituality is important to you, I love incorporating this aspect of life into therapy, as well. If we enter into a therapeutic relationship together, I’ll hold a warm and compassionate space for you to work through painful pieces of your life in a calm and safe environment. I’ll also gently challenge you to confront any unhealthy beliefs or patterns holding you back.
Everything begins with breath, so I invite you to Breathe,
Discover your true self and potential,
And begin to Heal…
I offer in-person therapy in Fort Collins, CO, and online and virtual therapy to anyone anywhere in Colorado.
I specialize in grief and Trauma. In my practice I help adults heal their inner child, old wounds and improve their self-worth. I use a holistic approach that emphasizes the mind/body/spiritual connection. My practice is inclusive of all people no matter your color, gender identity, culture, sexual orientation, spiritual or political beliefs. I understand and appreciate the complexities at play in our society, especially in regards to racial and systemic issues. I strive to provide a safe place for anyone looking for healing.
I also specialize in therapy intensives. A therapy intensive is an immersive therapy experience that takes place in a shortened time period, so that you can experience rapid healing and change in days to weeks instead of months or years. It is like the Disney Fast Pass for therapy. Therapy intensives are a perfect fit for people who are dissatisfied with long-term therapy or are stuck and not making progress in traditional weekly sessions. Please see the Intensives page for more information.
