Wellshire Behavioral Services
Your First Appointment
Your first appointment will be scheduled with one of our licensed therapists. During this visit, your therapist will get to know you and what you hope to gain from services. You’ll also discuss whether medications may be helpful. If you have engaged in psychiatry services in the past and are only interested in psychiatry services at Wellshire, please let us know during your initial phone call so we can make your time with us as seamless as possible.
What is EMDR?
You may have heard about eye movement desensitization and preprocessing (EMDR). EMDR is a therapeutic technique designed to help individuals process and heal from traumatic experiences and distressing memories. Through guided eye movements or other forms of bilateral stimulation, EMDR facilitates the brain's natural healing process, allowing people to reframe negative thoughts and reduce emotional pain. It has proven effective for conditions like PTSD, anxiety and depression, offering relief when traditional talk therapies might fall short. By targeting the root cause of distress, EMDR empowers individuals to move forward with clarity and resilience, creating space for new growth and emotional well-being.
At first, EMDR sounds a little too strange to be considered actual therapy, but multiple studies have demonstrated its effectiveness when provided by a trained practitioner – like those at Wellshire.
What Makes Therapy at Wellshire Unique
We know there are lots of options for therapy in Denver with a wide range of therapists, psychiatrists and other professionals. There are so many options it can feel overwhelming to know where to start. As you look for a place that feels right to you, here are a few things about Wellshire that really make us stand out:
Access to collaborative care.
We have expert therapists and empathetic psychiatrists right here, in-house. All our providers work in an interdisciplinary team environment, meaning you will have access to the depth and breadth of our combined mental health expertise. If you and your therapist think medication could be helpful for your treatment plan, looping in a psychiatrist is simple and seamless – no need to bounce between different clinics for your care. And, we have a pharmacy right in the clinic, so you can fill your prescription on your way out.
Top-notch training and certifications.
All of our therapists and psychiatrists who work with commercial insurance are licensed, and many have even more advanced training in cutting-edge treatments: EMDR trained and certified, DBT foundationally trained, even licensed addiction counselors. This means that we can help people with a wide range of needs, even those that might not be apparent right away. We combine advanced clinical training with relatable life experience to be your partner in mental health.
We’re always getting better.
As part of our commitment to growth, we’re always looking for opportunities to offer an even better experience. Whether it’s greater availability of appointments, more time with therapists, or clearer communication, we continue to improve the quality of care we offer. Your mental health is important, and it’s a responsibility we take very seriously.
