Remote EMDR Therapy for Colorado's Front Range and Western Slope

Trauma and PTSD treatment that does not require a mountain pass in February.

One state, two very different access problems

Along the Front Range, from Fort Collins through Denver, Boulder, Colorado Springs and Pueblo, the problem is rarely distance. It is waitlists. Specialists trained in EMDR are in demand and new clients routinely wait months for an opening.

West of the Divide and out on the Eastern Plains the problem is the opposite. In Grand Junction, Durango, Alamosa, Craig or Lamar there may be no EMDR-trained psychologist within a reasonable drive, and in winter the drive gets considerably less reasonable. Video sessions make both problems smaller.

Colorado runs on Mountain time, one hour behind Dr. Brooks in Bismarck. That works in your favor: what is a late-afternoon appointment on his calendar is still mid-afternoon on yours. He treats Colorado clients under PSYPACT, the interstate compact for psychological practice, and has been doing trauma work for more than thirty years.

The PTSD cure! I have been to many therapists and psychologists, but none as skilled and effective as Dr. Brooks. This is a very straight forward, simple therapy, and I am very impressed at how fast I felt the results. 100% recommend for anyone who is suffering!

Dr. Brooks and EMDR greatly improved my mental health. It was refreshing to treat the issue without months and months of talk therapy. I would highly recommend Dr. Brooks’ approach to treating PTSD and anxieties.

Dr. Brooks has been very helpful in working through a lot of things in my past. Basically, PTSD symptoms went away or were greatly lessened like nightmares, awful sleep, and "triggers". I highly recommend anyone struggling with stuff like this to see Dr. Brooks at Dakota Trauma Therapy.

The results I got from EDMR and Dr. Brooks far exceeded what I thought possible. If you have PTSD or past emotional trauma than I highly recommend you try Dakota Trauma Therapy and Dr. Brooks, I suffered needlessly for far too long when real help was a call away.

EMDR therapy helped me a lot. May seem simple, I was skeptical at first, but it really works.

Cat Sillitti
When I started therapy, I thought there was no way this treatment would be helpful. After 6 appointments, I can’t think of any trauma that needs to be treated. Thank you, Dr. Brooks. You were amazing.

Mary Nieuwsma
Dr. Brooks has been treating me for PTSD for years. His EMDR Therapy has allowed this veteran to once again sleep through the night and avoid daytime panic attacks. I highly recommend him.
