I'm Aseya Lukina, a psychologist trained in EMDR offering trauma-focused telehealth therapy to residents across Colorado. Evidence-based, compassionate, and available from anywhere in the state.
Colorado consistently ranks among states with the highest demand for trauma-informed therapy, with rates of anxiety and PTSD rising post-pandemic.
Whether you're in a major city or a rural county, access to quality trauma therapy should never be limited by geography. I offer evidence-based EMDR therapy via secure telehealth to all residents of Colorado.
Our sessions are HIPAA-compliant, deeply compassionate, and proven effective for anxiety, trauma, depression, and more. You don't need to travel. All you need is a private space and an internet connection.
Colorado has one of the more active mental health communities in the country — and yet if you've tried to find a trauma specialist here, you've probably noticed the paradox. The overwhelming majority of EMDR-trained therapists cluster along the Front Range: Denver, Boulder, Fort Collins, Colorado Springs. If you live in a mountain town or anywhere on the Western Slope, your realistic in-person options often come down to a months-long waitlist or a multi-hour drive each way — which is exactly how weekly therapy quietly becomes no therapy at all.
Even within Denver and Boulder, therapists who specifically work with trauma processing (rather than general talk therapy) tend to run full practices with waitlists. Colorado's population has grown much faster than its trauma-specialist capacity.
Colorado attracts a particular kind of person: driven, outdoorsy, self-reliant. The startup and tech communities in Denver and Boulder are full of high-achievers who are excellent at pushing through — which is often exactly the pattern that keeps old trauma locked in place. Burnout that doesn't resolve with rest, anxiety that shows up despite a life that "looks great on paper," and a nervous system that never quite powers down are some of the most common reasons Coloradans reach out to me.
The state also carries real communal trauma. The Marshall Fire, other wildfire seasons, and the losses that come with them left many people along the Front Range with grief and hypervigilance that never got processed. And with the large military community around Colorado Springs, many families live with service-related trauma — their own or a loved one's.
EMDR is well suited to all of these because it works at the level where these patterns are stored — the nervous system — rather than only talking about them. Sessions happen over secure video, so where you are in Colorado stops being a barrier.
