Esra Nutku-Bilir, MD, Ph.D, LPC 

THERAPIST

  • EMDR Therapist
I have a Master’s Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and practice as a licensed psychotherapist in the State of Colorado. I received my Clinical Mental Health Counseling degree from Capella University and have been serving in the Denver community working with clients with diverse backgrounds since 2019. 
 
I am an EMDR-trained provider. I have an extensive background in medicine and medical science. With this, my goal is to continue to integrate the expertise of cutting-edge thinking and scientific curiosity through humanistic, empathetic, culturally-informed therapeutic approaches for you, while designing the treatment for my clients. Our work together is collaborative. My focus will be to support you in your healing, empowerment, sustainable change, and authentic self-expression.
 
My primary interest is in Health Psychology, where I am curious about how biological, social, and psychological factors may influence health and illness, and overall sense of well-being. I am interested to learn more about our natural physical design, which has organic-healing mechanisms that are supported by current theories in our field, such as Adaptive Information Processing Theory, and Mindfulness-informed approaches. I see individual clients and couples. I am experienced working with the geriatric population and adults who are 15 years old and older, and clients with chronic illnesses, mood disorders, trauma, life transition issues, health and wellness, marriage and relationship issues, women’s and men’s health, personal growth, and self-esteem issues. 
 
In my spare time, I love spending time and traveling with my beautiful family. My passions are continuous learning, reading, writing, yoga, meditation, community, loved ones, my pets, and nature. 
 
I look forward to working with you . . .
