Trauma Focused Therapists in Denver, CO

Please note I am doing telehealth only at this time. Hi. I'm Tori. As a counselor, my goal is to help you make sense of your thoughts and feelings, feel less alone, and create the changes you want in yourself. I‘ll work with you in a compassionate, collaborative way to overcome the roadblocks that you struggle with even if they seem overwhelming. I specialize in working with clients dealing with anxiety, trauma (especially sexual abuse/assault and relationship violence), PTSD, and gender identity. I am LGBTQ affirming. I work from a social justice and feminist framework. I am a CCTP Certified Clinical Trauma Professional.

Imagine a life where you are able to play, explore, and feel empowered to stand firmly in your truth. We exist in a world with an abundance of talent, ideas, possibilities and strengths; yet many of the current conditions stifle, exclude and limit us. I am here to partner with you and your family to support growth through life transitions, school or work-related difficulties, emotional and behavioral challenges, childhood trauma- so that you can fully experience life's abundance.

A person’s decision to embark on the journey of self-exploration and healing can be one of the most exciting and challenging to make. Whether you are struggling with an ongoing mental health issue or distress as a result of past trauma, difficult life events or relationship issues, therapy can be a tool of empowerment, self-awareness and healing. I feel therapy can be life-changing by helping people to gain insight, achieve emotional relief, regain one’s authentic self and ultimately live a self-defined happy and healthy life.

I specialize in the treatment of Eating Disorders, as well as comorbid conditions such as anxiety, depression, OCD, PTSD, self-esteem and body image. I offer support through a variety of therapeutic lenses such as Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Trauma Focused Interventions, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.

I provide psychotherapy, hypnotherapy, therapeutic integration of psychedelics, EMDR, and Brainspotting to individuals and couples. Clients come to me for help working through myriad issues, including manifestation, resolving trauma (including complex trauma/childhood wounds), spiritual awakenings, identifying triggers, developing your wise mind, understanding your decision-making process, tapping into your intuition, trusting yourself, resilience building, relational skills, distress tolerance, disrupting cognitive distortions, understanding your personal thought and behavioral patterns, and restructuring patterns of behavior.

You deserve to feel seen and heard and validated for your experience. You are stronger than you believe and have everything you need within you already. Sometimes we all just need some help unlocking our strengths within. Through a safe and secure therapeutic relationship, I believe it is possible to heal from trauma and no longer just survive, but actually thrive. My passion for empowering others to heal from their trauma is inspired by my own lifelong healing journey and soul's purpose of healing my trauma so that I can assist others by empowering them to heal theirs.

I have a passion for working with adults in big or small life transitions and emerging adults staring their adult lives! I have a trauma focused practice. I work with those who seek treatment for life experiences such as: anxiety, depression, sexual, physical, or emotional abuse, social isolation, teen friendships/bullying/dating, teen parenting, teen pregnancy counseling and support, low energy, stress, panic attacks, a traumatic event or other stressors, self sufficiency development, divorce, low self esteem, ADD/ADHD, mood dysregulation, oppositional or angry behaviors, and relational and attachment issues. EMDR Certified and CIT

I believe that sometimes we are not prepared for what is thrown at us. Sometimes things just happen and we are forced to deal with things we never thought could. We all see and navigate the world entirely in our own way. Sometimes we stumble to navigate connection and meaning, but really that is part of the journey. I feel that it is important to acknowledge the value of not only emotions, but the mind, body, and spirit together as we move through our experiences.

Whether you are a parent seeking help for your child or teen or an individual looking for therapy for yourself, I know that finding a therapist can be a scary and daunting task. I work with clients ages six through adulthood dealing with various issues including anxiety, depression, and mood instability. I specialize in treating trauma-related issues and self harm behaviors in teens and young adults. While I work with clients of all ages, I specialize in treating adolescents, helping them navigate their growing independence successfully while maintaining healthy relationships with family members, friends, and themselves.

Finding a therapist you connect with can be especially challenging when already feeling disconnected from yourself and from those around you. I have found that a validating, non-judgmental, and genuine therapeutic relationship with clients is the first and mightiest step towards healing. I work with often misunderstood men, women, and teens to help improve self-esteem, explore the impacts of trauma, navigate relationships, and to move forward with less weight on their shoulders. The soul of my work is to help identify the root of the struggle so we can laugh and cry to coping, healing, and resilience.

Are you a woman who feels as if you are going about your life in survival mode? Are you wanting to be more present, more content and more at peace in your life? Whether you are struggling to navigate relationships, manage overwhelming anxiety, or just never feeling good enough, I am here to help. I help women heal from the past and improve their relationships with themselves and those most important to them.

Are your old patterns no longer working for you? Do you strive to feel more connected to others? Most people have experiences in life that feel challenging, uncomfortable, painful, and scary. I'm dedicated to holding space for you to explore the challenging experiences and scary obstacles that have occurred throughout your life. Those experiences are opportunities for repatterining and reconnection. You're not alone. I'm passionate in supporting individuals navigate anxiety, stress, perinatal mental health and perinatal mood and anxiety symptoms, developmental trauma, relationships, relationship with body, women's issues.

You are unlike any other being that exists. You are a creative force. You go against the grain and it might feel like you don't fit in. Society has tried to box you in for so long that you've pushed away and hidden little parts of your soul. You may have numbed your feelings and ignored your heart's desires as a trade for comfort, stability, acceptance, and normalcy. I would love to help you overcome the things that are weighing you down and keep you from living your most authentic life. I am a Florida Native that joined the droves of millennial transplants in Denver due to a love of the outdoors and a spirit for adventure.

Transitions are part of life, and yet some feel overwhelming. At such times, you may need a community to walk alongside you. In reaching out, you have taken that first courageous step toward healing. Together we will explore how you might get back on track, or perhaps forge a new path. Through compassionate exploration of your strengths, you may find it is possible to find your footing. I specialize in adults from all walks of life and challenges that any stage may present, such as anxiety, depression, dual diagnoses, life transitions, parenting, relational challenges, somatic, spirituality, trauma-focused, women's issues, and more.

Your body holds the wisdom to heal. As a contemplative psychotherapist, I blend practices from the East and West, evidence-based and spiritual approaches, movement and introspection. I work with highly sensitive, empathic clients to help them build healthier relationships, let go of substances, improve self-esteem, find freedom from anxiety and depression, and come home to their bodies. I believe in the healing power of embodiment to recover from traumatic and painful experiences. In our work together, you'll find that there is space for vulnerable moments, profound realizations, uninhibited emotions, and deep belly laughs.
