Meet Electra Byers
owner & psychotherapist
at Electra Byers Psychotherapy pllc
Do you feel stuck? Do you feel like you know all the rules and what you are “supposed to do” but somehow can’t get where you want to go? As your therapist, it is my goal to help you feel at home in your mind, body, and heart. I can help deconstruct and shift your “shoulds” into something that feels more authentic and meaningful to you. We also can dig into your past and explore how old coping mechanisms that may have helped at one time are now limiting. I am trained in a myriad of techniques—including mindfulness and EMDR—to gently guide your mind and body back to the present moment to a state of well-being and resiliency.
I believe in your innate goodness and will always remind and point this out to you. I cannot tell you what is right/wrong or healthy/unhealthy and I resist being another voice telling you what you are “supposed to do”. My job is to provide a warm and accepting space to not just think and talk but to feel the big emotions. I will ask questions, reflect, and ponder alongside you as we rediscover your inherent wisdom and regain a sense of freedom.
My clients tend to be high achievers looking to do less and be more. I work with people suffering from trauma, panic attacks, anxiety, perfectionism, depression, life changes, grief, disordered eating, binge eating disorder, low self esteem, poor body image, and perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (like "postpartum depression"), among many more. Have a relationship problem? I work with couples and other relationship structure too.
I am licensed in Colorado, North Carolina, and South Carolina.
Let’s connect. I’d love to explore working together.
