Trauma-Informed EMDR Counseling for Healing, Processing, and Recovery
At The Bloomhouse Women’s Counseling Collective, we offer EMDR therapy in Fort Collins and online across Colorado for individuals seeking effective trauma treatment, anxiety reduction, and nervous system healing. EMDR is one of the most researched, evidence-based therapies for trauma, PTSD, and distressing life experiences.
Whether you’re healing from birth trauma, relationship wounds, attachment disruptions, anxiety, or past painful memories, our trauma-informed clinicians will walk with you through a safe, structured healing process.
What Is EMDR Therapy?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based form of trauma therapy designed to help your brain process and heal from difficult, distressing, or emotionally overwhelming experiences.
Instead of talking through a memory repeatedly, EMDR helps your nervous system reprocess the memory so it no longer holds the same emotional charge. This can lead to:
reduced anxiety or panic
decreased emotional triggers
calmer responses to stress
improved self-confidence and clarity
greater emotional balance and resilience
EMDR is widely recognized for its effectiveness in treating trauma and PTSD and is supported by research and leading organizations in mental health.

Above is an informational video from EMDRIA that explains how EMDR works and why it’s effective.
Who Can EMDR Help?
EMDR therapy can help people who are experiencing:
Trauma or PTSD symptoms
Birth trauma or medical trauma
Anxiety or panic
Attachment wounds from childhood or relationships
Relationship trauma or betrayal
Phobias or fear responses
Grief and loss
Complex emotional triggers
Self-blame or negative self-beliefs
Emotional overwhelm or dysregulation
EMDR is not just for “big trauma.” Even seemingly small yet painful experiences that continue to influence your emotions, beliefs, or behavior can be effectively addressed.
How EMDR Works at The Bloomhouse
At The Bloomhouse, we prioritize safety, pacing, and readiness. Most EMDR therapy involves multiple phases:
Preparation and Safety Building
We work on emotional regulation, grounding, and stabilization before processing painful memories.
1
Reprocessing
Through guided bilateral stimulation (such as eye movements or hand buzzers), we help your nervous system safely reprocess distressing memories so they lose their emotional intensity.
2
Integration
You learn to incorporate new, balanced beliefs and reactions that support your healing.
3
Your therapist will always work with you at a pace that feels safe and comfortable for your nervous system.
EMDR for Trauma, Anxiety, and Life Stress
Many people seek EMDR when traditional talk therapy hasn’t fully resolved painful patterns. EMDR helps interrupt automatic reactions and gives your brain a chance to unlock stuck emotional responses.
Clients who have completed EMDR often report:
More emotional calm and stability
Less intrusive thoughts and memories
Greater confidence in relationships and decisions
Reduced anxiety and hypervigilance
A stronger sense of self and safety
