My name is Amber Van Treeck

My practice is centered around trauma-informed therapy and EMDR, ADHD, anxiety, and burnout, with a neurodiversity-affirming approach woven throughout my work.

I work with adults who want to better understand how trauma, chronic stress, ADHD, and life experiences have shaped their nervous system, relationships, and sense of self. Therapy is collaborative, paced, and grounded in safety — not pressure or performance.

Trauma-Informed Therapy & EMDR

I have a deep respect for trauma work and the ways trauma can quietly influence emotional regulation, relationships, self-trust, and daily functioning. Many clients come to therapy knowing something feels “off,” but without clear language for what they’ve experienced.

In our work together, we focus on:

• increasing feelings of safety and trust

• building awareness of triggers and nervous system responses

• reducing irritability, emotional reactivity, and relationship strain

• understanding how past experiences continue to impact the present

I frequently use EMDR therapy as part of trauma treatment, tailoring it to each client’s needs and capacity. EMDR can be a powerful tool not only for PTSD, but also for chronic stress, relational trauma, ADHD-related distress, and even chronic pain.

Trauma work often includes examining relational patterns and learning to implement boundaries in both personal and professional settings. As clients gain clarity about what has been harmful or depleting, we explore ways to protect their energy and move toward healthier, more sustainable relationships.

ADHD & Neurodiversity-Affirming Therapy

I am an ADHD-diagnosed adult, and lived experience informs my work alongside professional training. I understand that traditional approaches to therapy don't always account for differences in attention, executive functioning, emotional regulation, sensory needs, or communication.

My practice is neurodiversity-affirming, meaning ADHD and autism are not viewed as deficits to fix. Therapy is adapted to the individual rather than expecting the individual to fit a particular therapeutic approach.

I have a particular interest in supporting adults with ADHD, neurodivergent parents, and women diagnosed with ADHD later in life. Therapy may explore emotional regulation, self-trust, burnout, relationships, trauma, and the impact of spending years feeling like you should simply be able to “try harder.”

Rather than focusing solely on productivity or coping strategies, our work can explore the patterns and experiences underneath your current struggles and help you create changes that actually fit your life.

What Working Together Looks Like

If you choose to work with me, we begin with an intake session where we explore your history, current concerns, and what you’re hoping to gain from therapy. From there, we collaboratively develop a treatment plan that reflects your goals, values, and nervous system needs.

I practice from a person-centered, trauma-informed approach, placing strong emphasis on the therapeutic relationship. I strive to create a space that feels safe, flexible, and respectful of your lived experience.

In addition to EMDR, I incorporate elements of CBT when helpful, particularly for noticing patterns in thinking and emotional responses. I am currently working toward my ADHD-CSSP certification to further support neurodivergent clients.

My goal is to support clients in developing greater clarity, regulation, and overall well-being — in ways that honor who they already are. I provide online therapy throughout Colorado.
