Counseling Practice – Empower Counseling, PLLC
Empower Counseling, PLLC is a trauma-informed individual therapy practice located at 1845 South Dobson Road, Suite 213, Mesa, Arizona 85202. The practice is led by Julia Wiens, whose clinical approach integrates two specialized modalities: EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), a structured method for processing traumatic memories through bilateral stimulation, and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, which incorporates body-based and somatic techniques alongside cognitive work. Both approaches are applied within a trauma-informed framework that prioritizes client safety and pacing throughout the therapeutic process.
Treatment areas addressed by the practice include trauma, PTSD, body image concerns, eating disorders, relationship issues, anxiety, depression, stress, emotional and spiritual wounds, attachment difficulties, and burnout. The practice’s stated therapeutic values are safety, trustworthiness, collaboration, and empowerment. These four principles are described as foundational to how the clinical relationship is structured, sustained, and deepened from the initial contact through the full course of ongoing treatment.
The treatment process described on the site is organized into distinct stages. The first stage focuses on building safety and stabilization before any trauma processing begins. The second stage involves identifying and processing traumatic memories using EMDR and somatic approaches in a carefully paced way. The third stage applies cognitive and somatic interventions to consolidate and integrate the progress made in earlier phases. Development of practical coping skills and strengthening the client’s sense of personal agency and connection to their values are also described as ongoing components of the therapeutic process.
Sessions are offered in individual format. The site does not specify whether telehealth is available. Insurance acceptance and payment details are not listed. Prospective clients are encouraged to begin with a consultation appointment, which the practice describes as a collaborative assessment designed to establish trust, explore presenting concerns, and identify therapy goals before ongoing treatment begins.
