Dr. Michael Galvin , CO Psychologist PSY.0000508

Dr. Michael Galvin is a psychologist in Colorado with more than 40 years of clinical experience, beginning in a community mental health center and continuing into private practice. He has taught and trained therapists at three universities and has also worked in executive coaching, bringing both academic and applied perspectives to his work. He is a Colorado licensed psychologist - CO Psychologist PSY.0000508 - and in recent years has shifted into a mostly retired role while remaining active in training, consulting, and seeing a limited number of clients.

Throughout his career he studied a range of traditional therapeutic approaches and continually adapted his practice to incorporate methods he found more effective. Two approaches that had particular impact on his work were Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Energy Psychology. He now focuses on Energy Psychology while also drawing on EMDR where appropriate.

These approaches have been in use for a number of years and Dr. Galvin finds them especially useful for anxiety and trauma-related concerns, often producing faster shifts than some conventional methods. He remains available to discuss whether his approach might be a good fit for someone seeking help and welcomes conversations about treatment options.

EMDR and Trauma-Informed Care Delivered Online

Dr. Michael Galvin integrates therapeutic methods that translate well to remote work, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Trauma-Focused Therapy. EMDR involves structured processing that helps people reduce the intensity of distressing memories and associated reactions, often used for trauma, panic, and related symptoms. Trauma-Focused Therapy centers on understanding and resolving the effects of traumatic experiences while helping clients build coping skills and regain stability; it is applicable to a range of trauma- and stress-related concerns.

Selecting the right approach is a collaborative process. Dr. Galvin works with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences and recommends methods or combinations of methods that fit their situation. That collaborative stance helps tailor care to what the client finds most helpful.

Online therapy offers practical advantages for people seeking these approaches. Licensed professionals can provide sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing greater flexibility around work, transportation, and location. For many clients, remote sessions make it easier to access consistent care and to continue therapeutic work even when schedules or circumstances change.
