Hello, my name is Iuliana Petre, and I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC.0015281) in the state of Colorado. I am also a licensed mental health counselor (HC 60620931) as per the state of Washington. I am currently accepting in-person and Telehealth clients from CO, and Telehealth clients from WA.

Like many others in Denver, I am a transplant from the East Coast.

After college I commissioned into the U.S. Army, and served for seven years on active duty followed by two years in the reserves. I was in Korea from 2001 to 2003, and twice deployed to Iraq in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) from 2004 to 2005, and again from 2006 to 2008.

After the Army, I worked in many settings including professional writing, education, hospitality, and physical fitness, before choosing to work only as a therapist.

In 2013, I graduated from Antioch University Seattle in Seattle, WA, with a master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling. Since then, I have worked in private and group practices, community agencies, on Telehealth platforms, and the crisis walk-in clinic.

At my counseling practice, I offer talk therapy and EMDR. Every client I work with begins as a talk therapy client. Some choose to utilize only this service. For other clients — for whom EMDR may be appropriate — we'll engage in a conversation about using this treatment technique, after we’ve established a secure therapeutic alliance.

I am an EMDR-trained therapist, and in 2022, I completed a 50-hour basic course at the EMDR Center of the Rockies — an EMDRIA-approved program — in Centennial, Colorado.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is a comprehensive psychotherapy treatment technique designed to alleviate distress associated with traumatic memories. In EMDR, we utilize bilateral stimulation (eye movements, tapping, auditory stimuli) and the power of one’s own brain to do the work of reprocessing and integrating past experiences that have become stuck. EMDR is also effective for anxiety, phobias, chronic pain, and other issues.
