Trauma and PTSD Therapists in Lodo, Denver, CO

Are you struggling with adjusting to challenges in your life? This could be anything to include a marital issue, divorce, custody battle, returning from deployment, finding your purpose in life, anxiety, depression, isolation, or fear of the unknown. I teach people how to assert and advocate for themselves in every avenue of their lives. I believe learning to love yourself is the first step before you can attack what has been holding you back. As you confront the issues that are holding you back, I will support you and teach you important skills to enable you to love yourself, take back your life, and advocate for yourself.

SERVICIOS EN ESPAÑOL- You are free to be YOU. We will find comfort in the shared human experience and create space for the possibilities of growth far beyond the walls you previously built to protect yourself but which are no longer serving you. I strive to create a space of non-judgement, radical acceptance, and unconditional positive regard to meet you wherever you are at and facilitate your personal journey. Together, we can rewrite the stories you may have been living in pre-defined by shame, trauma, culture, stigma, and external expectations.

Are you feeling stressed out? Not getting along with others? Is your mind super busy or is it hard to think at all? Are you having trouble calming down and finding rest? Or are you shut down, stuck, unable to move? Every minute our internal experience is changing. Our nervous system is constantly moving up and down. We can feel worried, afraid, anxious one day, and isolated, sad, and exhausted the next. It’s totally normal for our system to fluctuate, but if we spend long periods in one state or another it can take a toll on our body, mind, and spirit.

Hi! Congratulations on taking this first step towards healing which I know can feel overwhelming. Trauma and stress can leave us feeling disconnected from ourselves and the world around us. I aim to provide a brave, empowering, and validating space to process present concerns and to reconnect with oneself, others, and feelings that you may have been told you cannot or should not feel. Our work together may include processing the ongoing stress of a chronic medical condition, coping with anxiety, recovering from past and/or current trauma, or learning to cope with the loss of a loved one.

Let's work together to create change, to increase your ability to bounce back from hardships and disappointments, to create and sustain meaningful connections to others, to heal from past losses and heartaches. With support, you can take steps towards health and happiness and build the life that you deserve.

Have you been feeling overwhelmed, burnt out, and/or frequently stressed? Are you ready to gain more awareness surrounding old, unhelpful patterns? I would love to help you achieve better overall wellness. I am a licensed clinical psychologist who works with adults (18+) and I primarily practice from a cognitive behavioral perspective. I also incorporate mindfulness techniques and deep breathing to help facilitate growth and progress in therapy. I offer teletherapy in and in-person therapy in Tucson, Arizona as well as teletherapy in any of the participating PsycPact states.

I am passionate in creating a safe space for my clients to explore, discover, and understand themselves in an empowering environment. I work from a social justice lens which means I value inclusion and diversity. I utilize a person-centered approach to meet you where you are and provide acceptance as we navigate through your lived experiences together.

I specialize in working with couples and individuals facing relationship transitions (divorce, coparenting, platonic partnership consideration, etc.), sexual or relational desire and orientation differences (including kink, non-monogamy, and sexual orientation, gender transitions, and more), sexual and religious trauma (for ex., "exvangelicals" and queer folks with oppression trauma), intimate partner violence trauma, healing from a breach of trust, coming out and gender exploration/transition (one or both partners), and more. I frequently work with LGBTQIA/queer couples and the parents of LGBTQIA+ youth. I do work with youth 14+.

In my initial training experience as a hospital chaplain, I encountered patients and families in crisis, often going through personal oceans of grief and loss. As an intern at an urban Veterans Administration's behavioral health clinic, I saw how the trauma of war and chronic mental illness challenged patients, already isolated, even in their own families. At the Royal Edinburgh Hospital (Scotland) and at Tavistock Institute (London), I learned to think not just with my head, but also with my gut. My post-MSW career included work at a state mental hospital and as a Clinical Associate in Duke's Department of Psychiatry.

Licensed in the District of Columbia, Virginia, Colorado, New Mexico, and PSYPACT member. Therapy can be helpful at anytime in your life, but it could be particularly important for you now, when so many of us are experiencing heightened emotions. Whether you're suffering from trauma, depression, anxiety, grief, loss, relationship struggles, or other concerns, we can work together to understand the underlying causes for your symptoms and help you pursue your inner truth and liberation.

Our live's might hold experiences that have caused us to feel pain, rejection, and grief. As a result, we might find ways to numb, shame ourselves, and repeat old patterns that no longer serve us. The truth is, you are a resilient human, you have gotten yourself this far, and it’s okay to reach out for help when you need it. Therapy is a powerful tool that can help you to reconnect with the different parts of yourself that have been injured, left behind, or forgotten.

Here we will walk together-at your pace-towards a deeper understanding of yourself in order to build an authentic life.

I love helping people make lemonade with the lemons life has thrown at them. I create a confidential, judgment-free space where clients can be vulnerable and open to talk about life stressors and difficulties. I work with my clients to craft a space where they can grow and learn tools and skills to incorporate into their lives over the long term; to help navigate life challenges and transitions.

My passion is in helping people befriend their nervous system, develop a deeper connection with themself and others, and build lifelong strategies to utilize in times of distress. I specialize in serving queer & trans people, non-monogamous individuals, and those in kink, BDSM, and sex-work communities. Regardless of your identities or experiences, I believe that all people deserve collaborative, culturally competent care, and I strive to create a warm and non-judgmental environment where people can come as they are.

As life progresses, we each encounter difficulties that create ripples in our lives. I aim to create a collaborative space in which to discuss the ways in which clients can experience change and feel empowered. Creating a non-judgemental space is crucial to me within the therapeutic environment, so that exploration of self can occur. I have had extensive clinical experience in identity formation, depression, coping, grief, comorbid mental health diagnoses, and anxiety. I enjoy developing a strong alliance with clients in order to facilitate a sense of growth.

Do you find yourself caught in a web of worry and sadness despite your best efforts? You find yourself anxious or depressed where simple tasks feel overwhelming and drain the little energy you do have causing you to feel not good enough. I understand how anxiety and depression can become daunting companions, casting shadows on our daily joys. But you’re ready to make a change. You’re ready to stop isolating. You’re ready to recognize your own triggers and patterns so you can begin breaking cycles. Most of all, you’re ready to improve your emotional well-being and improve your quality of life. I want to help you get there.

The work at our group practice, Better Lives Building Tribes, focuses on that complex point, at which, individuals intersect with another. Through intimate/romantic relationships, friendships, partnerships, families, and organizations that we are surrounded by, we learn where individual strengths and weaknesses are. Through that knowledge and understanding, we work with people to discover creative means of closing the gap between where people are right now and where they would ideally like to be.

Does life seem a little too overwhelming, depressing and unfulfilling? Like you just can’t catch a break? If so, you’re not alone! For some, this feeling can be constant, never ending and a bit suffocating. For others, it can be situational and temporary. Whatever the case may be, you’re searching for relief and you’re in the right place! We can help you reach your goals and find the internal growth and resolve you are looking for. Growth and Resolve Counseling is a group of highly trained professionals with a passion for helping others and we are confident we can help you.

I specialize in working with young adults and parents who are trying to balance feelings of anxiety, dealing with a life change or stressor, and looking to connect with themselves on a deeper level. You may know that you want things to be different in your life, but you’re feeling stuck with where to begin. I use an integrative and relational approach, meaning I will use a combination of therapeutic techniques depending on your individualized needs and treatment goals.
