Roxie Wurtz

I'm a warm, grounded, and direct therapist trained in EMDR who specializes in helping people feel less overwhelmed and more like themselves again. I'm not afraid to be authentic, laugh, cry, or swear with you creating a space where you feel truly understood and supported. Sessions are active, focused, and include meaningful conversation and challenge.

Work through what's weighing you down using EMDR and trauma-focused modalities including Internal Family Systems, CBT, DBT, and SFBT. You'll receive a customized treatment plan with regular progress updates, ensuring you're always moving toward your goals. Most clients notice improvement within the first month, with sustained progress thereafter.

Someone with a gift for validation, honest reflection, and helping them feel deeply seen. They appreciate that I'm not passive or repetitive. I bring challenge and authenticity to each session. My approach is trauma-informed and identity-affirming, combining decades of life experience, parenthood, and second-career insight with personal understanding.

Are navigating traumatic experiences, chronic illness and ongoing pain, medical complexities, addiction recovery, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. I have special expertise with older adults (65+), adolescents, and adults in major changes.

I was frustrated seeing therapy that felt passive or ineffective. I wanted to create a space where real progress happens where people receive active, focused treatment and feel truly heard. My own journey through complex life experiences taught me the power of having someone who shows up authentically and helps you hold steady.

Treatment typically starts with weekly sessions so we can get you feeling better as quickly as possible. Therapy should feel like a partnership rooted in realness a balance of reflection, insight, and coaching tailored to your capacity. Whether you're dealing with caregiver burnout, academic pressure, or self-doubt, I'm here to help you explore your path.
