Trauma and PTSD Therapists in Lodo, Denver, CO

Change is hard. Either change happens to us (as with the Covid pandemic) and adapting can be difficult and painful, or we want change and making that happen can be overwhelming and challenging. I have several years of experience helping clients create change in the ways they are hoping for. I have worked with clients from various age groups, teens through older adults, and have assisted them with a wide range of presenting difficulties including: depression; anxiety; relationship struggles/couples; family dynamics; life transitions; parenting challenges; postpartum depression; and trauma.

Hello, and welcome! I am dedicated to partnering with you to create a life worth living in the midst of challenges and painful experiences. I provide a warm and nonjudgmental space to tap into your strengths, develop new insights and skills, understand and express your emotions, and truly love yourself. I believe we are designed to experience a range of emotions that provide information about our needs and values. We tend to feel stuck when we attempt to avoid our emotional experiences, leaving us depleted, hopeless, invalidated, and confused. I hope to meet you where you are as you heal and develop greater self-compassion.

I work with men and women who have endured past trauma and have trouble navigating work, relationships, and life on a day-to-day basis. Anger, rage, shame, addiction, anxiety, hiding, emotional cut-offs, broken relationships, isolation, and depression often come from a deeper pain and past trauma. We don't always have the words to address these issues or feel like we're "allowed to" have them. We can compartmentalize and focus on "just getting the next job done", but after a while we have to deal with our emotional pain as it may keep us from moving forward.

Healing is a journey requiring “strength, courage, and wisdom”. I hope to accompany you on your path as you voyage through celebrations and challenges in life that lead to your ultimate liberation. I’m a Contemplative Psychotherapist trained in Buddhist Psychology from Naropa University. I work to contact the inherent wisdom that is in each human’s emotions, thoughts, and behaviors, using mindful awareness within the therapeutic process. My therapeutic interventions come from a bevy of evidence-based approaches including CBT, DBT, ACT and also include Sensorimotor Psychotherapy (trauma-focused somatics) and Parts Work from IFS.

Let's be real, living in the world we live in is a challenge right now. Constant changes and stressors, most out of our control. Generational gaps causing rifts in families, work, and online. Navigating our world is difficult, yet you don't have to carry that weight alone. Maybe it's time to face the past so you can learn how to manage the future. Or do you want to better yourself and don't know where to start? Perhaps you're facing big changes in relationships or at work that are overwhelming. Whatever the challenges, let's face them together.

You're NOT alone in this! Life can bring really hard seasons. I believe that with help, you CAN get through this difficult time and you will find meaning and hope again. Whatever you are going through, you don't have to do it alone. I focus on helping people with issues related to depression, trauma, and anxiety, postpartum depression, parenting, family of origin issues, relationship distress, overcoming past abuse, codependency, general stress and overwhelm, grief, mom-guilt, and more. Hi, I'm Hanna Rodriguez, LPC.

Hi, thanks for being here! I work with individuals seeking compassionate therapy to overcome challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and familial conflicts. I will provide a safe space to express yourself with whatever comes up for you and you choose to share without judgment. I am a great listener who empathizes and provides effective strategies for personal growth. By fostering a therapeutic relationship built on trust, respect, and collaboration, I strive to empower clients in their journey towards healing and positive transformation.

Limited availability for adult clients looking for ADHD treatment! I'm not a coddler but I'm not cold. I'm straight up, but loaded with empathy and compassion. I try not to take myself too seriously and will use humor as often as it's appropriate. I'm flawed and human and will try and be as real with you as possible. I love what I do and I can help you.

Have you ever felt like you’ve experienced things in your life that make you feel alone, as if others can’t possibly understand? Have you been overwhelmed by your trauma to the point it has severely impacted your mental health – specifically depression and anxiety? Your choices and behaviors are all deep-rooted in issues of the past? Do you just need a better way to cope? If you struggle with any of the above questions, I may be a perfect match for you.

I believe most problems we experience are caused by a combination of two factors; carrying around too much from the past, and not taking good care of ourselves. The symptoms of Depression, Anxiety, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and Substance Abuse can all manifest from not cleaning up the past and from practicing poor self care in in the present. Using a variety of approaches including, Psychotherapy, Hypnosis, EMDR, and Process Work, we will together to shift this balance. As people get better at nurturing themselves and begin to let go of the weight of the past, they feel better.

“Change is the only constant in life.” -Heraclitus. This quote captures a significant principle in the human experience. Every single change and transition that we experience is both greivable and celebrateable. I am passionate about imparting support to motivated and engaged individuals, with a special focus on caregivers, first responders, veterans, lgbtqia+ folks, and individuals with alternative lifestyles. I aspire to provide culturally competent, trauma informed care to people in every stage of adulthood for change that they desire, or are coping with.

Our work together is collaborative. Perhaps a change in your life is on the horizon or you are experiencing difficulties in your relationships. Maybe you feel stuck in familiar limiting patterns. Illness might be visiting your life and dashing your hopes for the future. We will find our way out of these stuck places together. It’s your journey and I am here to support you in creating an authentic life with healthy connections to others.

I welcome all people who are interested in making improvements in their lives into the counseling space. Just as issues do not discriminate, I believe that my help should not either, nor have bounds. I pride myself in exercising every possible ounce of willpower I have to walk alongside clients in their growth process and help bring them towards the change they would like to see for themselves. Because the nature of hardship varies from person to person, my counseling approaches and enthusiasm are just as flexible to meet the unique concerns of the humans in front of me. You deserve to have someone care about who you are; I will.

I believe that given the safety, support, and tools, we all have an innate capacity to heal and live full lives. Our brains and bodies are designed for this purpose, and my goal as a therapist is to empower clients through relational and body-based treatments to rebuild the relationship with themselves and others. I work with clients seeking support to heal from experiences of trauma, abuse, and loss, as well as those managing burnout, anxiety, and depression. I specialize in treating trauma-related disorders, including those developed following sexual and intimate partner violence, childhood abuse, and traumatic loss.

Imagine having space where you are greeted with warmth and kindness. You feel a sense of safety and acceptance from the moment you start your appointment. In this space, you are invited to be curious about yourself, explore the many layers of who you are and grow into the person you want to be. This is the space I am excited to provide as your therapist! Whether you are feeling anxious, depressed, stuck in the cycle of over-thinking, working through trauma or trying to better connect with yourself, you deserve to be seen, heard and understood.

I am a passionate therapist committed to collaborating with you to heal past hurts, increase resilience & instill hope. I am an advocate for bold self-expression and speaking freely about what hurts. I offer my non-judgmental presence with the intent to help cultivate a safe space where you can show up authentically, clarify your goals, develop new skills & take initiative in your healing. As you reconnect with your wisdom within, I will apply my clinical expertise & provide unconditional support of your unique process.

I hold a strong conviction that we all have the potential and the capacity to heal and to live happy and meaningful lives. Although we cannot change the past, we do have the power to change how we respond to the events in our lives, heal unresolved pain, let go of negative beliefs, and change the behaviors that may contribute to depression, anxiety, chronic illness, and difficulties in relationships. I can help you navigate this healing journey by providing both compassionate support and practical guidance to help you gain insight and to acquire tools to effectively address the challenges you are facing.

Authenticity is very important to me in the work that I do with clients. I take a human to human approach that delivers honesty with love. The therapeutic alliance is a sacred vessel where healing and transformation can occur. This sentiment drives nearly everything I do.

I am an AEDP and Emotionally-Focused therapist working with individual adults on transforming challenges with mood, relationships and trauma into flourishing. While we will have specific goals for therapy, ultimately my hope is that you feel more alive, authentic, connected, resilient and self-accepting. We start by building a safe and trusting environment within which vulnerabilities, difficult experiences and unhelpful patterns can emerge and new experiments in thinking, feeling and relating can be attempted. This takes courage, and it can feel risky to speak the truth, to embrace disowned feelings, even just to receive support.
