Bridget C. Everett, MA, LPC, CGT Licensed Professional Counselor | Certified Grief Therapist | EMDR Trained Bridget is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Certified Grief Therapist (CGT) in Colorado. Her experience includes inpatient, residential, outpatient, intensive outpatient (IOP), and partial hospitalization (PHP) settings, working with children ages eight and older, adolescents, adults, older adults, and families. Her therapeutic approaches may include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness and somatic-based interventions, trauma-informed care, and neuroscience-informed perspectives. Bridget has also completed EMDR Basic Training. EMDR and Trauma-Informed Treatment While Bridget is trained in EMDR and other trauma-informed approaches, requesting EMDR does not mean it will automatically be initiated or that it is the most appropriate treatment approach. Treatment recommendations are based on clinical assessment, including each client’s needs, goals, stability, readiness, and safety. EMDR may require preparation and stabilization and may not be appropriate for every client or at every stage of treatment. Because EMDR providers vary in training and experience, clients are encouraged to ask about a provider’s specific qualifications. Areas of Support — Anxiety: Worry, anxious thoughts, overwhelm, and difficulty managing stress. — ADHD: Attention, organization, follow-through, impulsivity, restlessness, and everyday functioning. — Behavioral Concerns: Patterns that interfere with functioning at home, school, work, or in daily life. — Grief and Loss: Bridget’s CGT credential reflects additional specialized education in grief and loss. She supports individuals navigating bereavement, anticipated loss, significant life changes, relationship and family losses, and the loss of a pet or companion animal. — Adjustment and Life Transitions: Navigating changes involving relationships, family, school, work, living circumstances, and other significant life events. — Emotion Regulation and Distress Tolerance: Understanding and managing emotions, navigating difficult experiences, and developing more intentional responses. Approach to Counseling Bridget views counseling as a collaborative process and values transparency, ethical practice, and the time and commitment clients bring to their care. Her role is to listen carefully, help clients explore patterns and connections, and offer clinical perspective and therapeutic tools while supporting them in making meaning of their own experiences. When a client’s needs extend beyond her training or experience, a requested treatment approach is not clinically appropriate, or another level of care may be indicated, Bridget communicates this openly and supports appropriate referrals or transitions in care. 970-400-7319 [email protected] Psychiatric Services of the Rockies: Therapy 2121 Midpoint Dr., Ste 201, Fort Collins, CO 80525
