about emily mcafee

Emily is a queer, neurodivergent therapist who loves working with individuals, couples and groups. As a recent graduate with a year of sex and couples therapy experience, Emily brings extensive new information and techniques to her work. Some of her specialties in work with clients include gender & sexuality exploration, polyamory, non-monogamy, & “opening-up” a relationship, unpacking religious messages and healing religious trauma, rebuilding trust in relationships, and addressing low or mismatched sexual desire (when more desire is wanted).

With both personal and professional experience with size and body stigma, Emily is passionate about working with clients to explore and unpack societal messaging about bodies and how they are “supposed” to look, act, and take up space. Emily is knowledgeable about the ways that messages about bodies are impacted by gender, sexuality, race, and ability, and loves to share this information with clients to facilitate impactful discussions, realizations, and healing.

Emily is currently engaged in intensive training and practicum for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, and we are excited to offer this treatment modality to both new and current clients of our practice at a time-limited rate of $90 per session (up to 12 sessions) for folks with financial need (sliding scale). (Often 6-12 sessions are needed.) The full rate per session is $150. (The average cost of this therapy in Denver, Colorado is $200+ per session.) EMDR therapy helps heal trauma and reduce the disturbance experienced when remembering traumatic events by changing how these memories are stored in the brain. This can lessen negative reactions to trauma triggers and allow clients to live with less anxiety, fear, and distress.

Emily is currently accepting new sliding scale and standard fee individuals and couples. If you are a current individual or couples therapy client (of Emily’s or Court’s) and would like to consider EMDR sessions with Emily, please email her at emily@expansivetherapycollective.com or call/text 720-764-9306.
