About
Dr. Eby
Pronouns: She/Her/Hers
Hi, I'm Dr. Eby...
As a licensed psychologist, my passion is using the most effective methods, tailored to your unique experiences, to help bring about the change you want in your life. When things seem overwhelming, we break them down and make them doable. You'll get no judgment from me. Believe me, your problems, your situation, your personality, your past - it's all understandable.
I first meet you and listen to you. When we both feel I have a good grasp of the circumstances bringing you to therapy, we develop goals and a plan for achieving them. We measure your progress in every session to make sure we're on the right path. If we're not, we make adjustments to our approach.
At times, I teach skills you can use to cope with stress, flashbacks, panic, and other intense emotions. I also assign specific exercises or "experiments" for you to try outside of our sessions to enhance your progress as you're ready. I continuously check-in on how you're feeling, your level of motivation, and your interest throughout sessions to make sure we're going at the right pace for you.
Above all, I prioritize making sure you are heard, understood, and that we are both on the same page with your treatment - it's the only way it works! You can see more here about what to expect from a therapy session with me.
The specific theoretical frameworks I use and have received additional training in are: TEAM-CBT (an enhanced model of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Interpersonal and Social Rhythms Therapy (IPSRT) for Bipolar Disorders.
Colorado Psychologist
I am a licensed psychologist with a doctoral degree in counseling psychology from Colorado State University. I graduated from my PhD program in 2018.
As a psychologist, I have broad training across the range of psychological disorders and mental health, with additional trainings in the areas of managing stress, worry, panic, hopelessness, lack of meaning or purpose, loss and grief, loneliness and isolation, and relationship problems. The most frequent diagnoses I treat are Depression, Anxiety, Bipolar Disorder, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), and Borderline Personality Disorder.
I have experience working with all of the following ages:
Preteens / Tweens (ages 11 to 13)
Adolescents / Teenagers (ages 14 to 19)
Adults (all ages)
Elders (ages 65+)
A note about couples or family therapy: I personally do not treat couples or families, but often people who are willing to do individual work in therapy find many ways of improving their relationships through these techniques. I can teach you specific relationship skills to improve your interactions with others including how to become an extremely effective listener and conflict resolver. This work is very fun, challenging, and doesn't require another person to be present in the session with you.
Fun facts!
I was born and raised in South Central Pennsylvania, and still love driving through the idyllic Pennsylvania farmland when I return to visit.
I lived in Virginia for four years while I went to college and got my B.S. in Psychology before moving to Colorado for my Psychology PhD program at Colorado State University in 2012.
I lived in Colorado (Fort Collins and Denver) for 9 years and worked in Cheyenne, Wyoming for 2 years before moving to Europe in 2021 (mostly to eat the food, but also for the adventure). My Colorado practice has been fully virtual since then, which has allowed me to offer the unique appointment times that I do. My Colorado virtual practice is my full time work and I'm 100% focused on my private practice patients.
In addition to eating all the best food I can find, I love absorbing the culture of a new city, hiking with my partner, practicing yoga, reading for my book club, and drinking amazing coffee.
For those interested in learning powerful tools for personal growth and life enhancement, but do not require psychotherapy, coaching can be an optimal option. See my coaching page to learn more about doing personal growth or life coaching with me.
