Colleen West, MFT

I am not a client of Colleen’s, but I am a colleague who also does EMDR. I have listened to her talk in several professional settings about the work she does, and I can see that she is very skilled, very bright, and has a set of personal qualities that make just being in the room with her healing. I would (and do) highly recommend her to anyone who wants a good therapist and especially if you want to explore doing EMDR. Even if you have a therapist, Colleen may be able to work with you simultaneously to resolve trauma, and amplify the effectiveness of your therapy. I get nothing for writing this – I just believe there are not many therapists as good as Colleen, and people looking for a therapist should know this!

Colleen is really remarkable in her understanding and practice of EMDR. She is compassionate and engages with her clients in a very deep way.
I love the concept of getting focused therapy as you hit the patch in the road for both myself and for my daughters. Colleen has been great with helping my daughters negotiate transitions– to a new school, with friends, etc. in one or two sessions as they need extra support.
I highly recommend Colleen for helping your process the big and little traumas of life as they come along.

Colleen is an incredible facilitator of a very deep and powerful process, EMDR. I experienced in one session a complete re-​working of an old, limiting story about myself and have felt incredibly empowered since then.
She is an extremely skilled, compassionate and knowledgeable leader in her field. I can’t recommend her enough to anyone looking to create real, lasting change at a deep level.
