EMDR and Trauma Therapy for Neurodivergent Adults in Denver
Many ADHD and autistic adults carry trauma from years of masking, being misunderstood or pushing past their limits. Trauma therapy can help, and it works best when it's adapted to how your brain works.
How I adapt trauma therapy
- Choosing tapping, sounds or eye movements based on your sensory preferences
- Clear structure and knowing what to expect
- Pacing that respects your energy and shutdown signs
- Room for stimming, movement and breaks
- Direct, literal communication if you prefer it
- Telehealth from your own comfortable space
Why EMDR can fit well
EMDR doesn't require describing painful memories in detail, which many neurodivergent clients find easier than traditional talk therapy. We start by building safety and regulation skills, then move into reprocessing when you're ready.
I completed EMDR training in 2024 and offer it within individual sessions.
Questions
Do I need a formal diagnosis?
No. Self-identified and questioning adults are welcome.
Can EMDR be done over telehealth?
Yes. EMDR can be adapted for secure video sessions for clients in Colorado.
