Who I am
Welcome! My name is Lourdes Janet Camacho, but you can just call me Janet! I have been a practicing therapist since 2015. My areas of expertise includes anxiety, depression and trauma affecting women and teenage girls.
I am a bilingual, first generation Latinx woman. I am a mother, a wife, dog mom, adjunct professor, consultant in training for other therapists, self-proclaimed designer of spaces, and plant lover. I did not grow up with conversations about mental health. My passion for mental health began with an introductory psychology class in college. Looking back now, my educational path was my own attempt at increasing self-awareness and it gave me language for the parts of me and others that I did not understand.
I provide specialized support and care to women, a population that I feel particularly called to serve. My work involves empowering women to reclaim their sense of agency and control over their lives through processing their traumatic experiences, and manage distressing symptoms through the understanding of their autonomic nervous system.
My niche was influenced by women I love who have been affected by wounds in attachment, grief, domestic violence, sexual abuse, relational issues, and other significant trauma. I practice in their honor, and I am committed to creating a safe place for teen girls and women to heal.
I am an EMDR certified Therapist which means that in my practice, I facilitate healing through EMDR which is often times complimented with Internal Family Systems, Attachment Therapy, and Narrative Therapy. I use these modalities tailored to your individual presenting concerns.
If you are looking to heal from situations that occurred in the past that impacts your current functioning, you are in the right place.
HOME OFFICE
Spaces are important to me and after practicing in various settings including people's homes, outpatient offices, and schools, I now practice in a space that I designed and furnished to meet my client's needs. I practice out of my home office located near the Bison Ridge Recreation Center in Commerce City, CO. The home office is a thoughtfully put together space that provides all of the necessary elements needed for a therapy practice. I also meet people via telehealth from the comfort of where they need to be in order to make therapy work for them.
