Trauma Focused Therapists in Denver, CO

Hi, I’m Lindsay, a queer relationship and trauma therapist. Life's hard sometimes. It's an oversimplified statement, but sometimes simplicity feels good in the midst of chaos and mess. Trying to make sense of family, relationships, medical care, and work environments in a heterosexist world is exhausting. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, haunted by the past, or just unsure of how to show up for your partner or for yourself, then you’re in the right place.

Do you have a tendency to bottle up your feelings? Or maybe you find yourself avoiding uncomfortable emotions, only for the feelings to keep coming back, affecting your mental health and relationships. If you struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma, or low self-esteem and have difficulty identifying and expressing your feelings, you are not alone! Therapy can provide a safe space for you to strengthen your mind-body connection and release those pent-up emotions.

While open to a range of issues, I feel I connect particularly well with adolescents or adults who have experienced trauma, different types of abuse, neglect, or exploitation, and are struggling with behavioral issues, substance use, self-harm, depression, anxiety, or PTSD. I want to help clients explore the parts of themself they try to hide away, address the pain they carry, and in working towards healing, gain back those pieces of who they are.

I specialize in working with adolescents and young adults particularly around challenges related to trauma, sexual health, and identity. I have a passion for working within the LGBTQIA+ community and providing gender affirming care for my clients. I approach the relationships I build with clients with openness, acceptance, a focus on strengths, and sometimes humor. We will work together to understand and explore your self identified needs and collaboratively forge a unique path based on what works for you.

Are you in a relationship and feeling trapped in communication patterns that leave you feeling disconnected, alone, or unheard? Are you an individual who is feeling challenged with anxiety, your relationship with food, your relationships in general, or "getting past your past". I work regularly with couples and individuals to find healing within themselves and within their relationships, to learn ways to regulate emotion in order to experience life with more joy, and to feel more able to organize around their emotion vs. feel overwhelmed from it. I am currently working online via video with clients. I see clients in person at times.

I take a creative approach to my client's needs by combining traditional talk therapy with mindfulness & body based treatment modalities and techniques, including Somatic Experiencing, attachment focused EMDR and Inner Relationship Focusing (IFR). I have over 15 years of experience helping individuals with issues related to anxiety, eating disorders, trauma (developmental, medical and shock), panic, depression, and relationship issues. Through our work together my clients will come to feel more understood, more comfortable and more confident in their lives.

Navigating the world can be filled with complexity. There are internal and external struggles that we all deal with on the daily. Sometimes we don’t have access to all our available resources in body, mind, and spirit for one reason or another. Despite our best efforts to tackle these challenges on our own, we can get cut off from ourselves, our partners, our family, and/or our communities. Do you want to feel connected, heard and supported? Do you need a place that you can feel safe and just be yourself? Sometimes it’s hard to be honest with ourselves and confront the things that scare us. Sometimes we need someone to help.

Are you tired of the constant chatter in your mind, the relentless cycle of overthinking, and the overwhelming anxiety that holds you back from fully enjoying life? Do you do well at work, but find it challenging to form meaningful relationships, navigate intimacy, and fully express your emotions? The weight of anxiety may be holding you back from experiencing the depth of fulfillment and joy you desire. Through the transformative power of somatic psychotherapy, you can experience relief, authentic relationships and a renewed zest for life.

Many times, life transitions and unresolved trauma can make us feel like there is no way out. It can be overwhelming. But it does not have to be like that. As your therapist, I can provide a supportive nonjudgmental space for you to explore and resolve issues related to past trauma or present moment issues that cause distress to you.

If you're tired of constantly feeling like you need to regain control of your life, I get it. It's common to channel anxiety and stress into productivity, controlling food and criticism for our bodies. We know shame is not a sustainable motivator for change, yet so often it's the tool we come back to time and time again. I enjoy helping clients unpack internalized shame to explore what is holding them back from a more fulfilling life.

Hi, I'm Brynn! I use many therapy modalities such as CBT, DBT, MI, and ACT, and love to include my clients in the process of deciding which to utilize. I love giving clients tangible skills they can take with them and implement outside of session to make daily life feel better. I am also trained in EMDR, a treatment technique that allows individuals to reprocess traumatic events or other distressing experiences so that it no longer causes distress in the present. I have experiences in working with individuals, couples, and families struggling with anxiety, depression, PTSD and trauma, eating disorders, and substance use disorders.

It’s understandable and normal to need help working through life's challenges. I specialize in working with women and emerging adults struggling with past or current trauma, relationship and/or family conflict, life transitions, anxiety, and depression. I believe women and young adults face unique challenges in life. My goal is to offer support and compassion in hopes of helping you develop a deeper understanding of yourself. I believe that through this understanding comes healing, growth, and an ability to identify and express your emotions. I want to help you find confidence, peace, and self-compassion.

I believe that each of us is capable, sometimes with a little assistance, of making our own best decisions, and that each of us is responsible for our own path in life. This means that as a counselor, I work closely with my clients to decide on the best course of therapy. My work focuses on helping people free themselves from pain and the feeling of being "stuck" that keeps them from moving in a forward direction.

I have extensive experience providing individual, couples, and family therapy to adolescents and adults. Areas of expertise include: Anxiety, Attachment Issues, Depression, EMDR, Grief and Loss, Marriage/Couples Counseling, Relationship Issues, Family of Origin Issues and Self Esteem. I am looking forward to utilizing my skills and experience to partner with you to provide meaningful, lasting change. Whether this is a time of transition or you're ready to work on deeper issues, I will help you accomplish your goals so you can get the most out of life.

In my professional world I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and have worked in many areas. I have done work with young kids all the way to older adults. When working with me I utilize modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Internal Family Systems, Acceptance and Commitment, as well as DBT. I specialize in working with anxiety and communication within the family systems. I enjoy working with individuals who are looking to make changes in their lives. Sometimes things are difficult and making change can be hard, but if you give me the opportunity I am hoping I can walk along side you to find your path in this world.

I enjoy working with adults and older adults. I look forward to working with people in all stages and ages of life as there are transitions and changes happening for most of us all of the time and coping with those can be challenging. My approach is often times a combination of talk therapy, ACT, CBT, solution-focused brief therapy, motivational interviewing, and person in environment centered focus.

You want to feel better, right? I take pride in my commitment to helping you achieve this. I will help you understand yourself better and work through blocks so that you can have more enjoyment, worry less, and function better in work, relationships, and life. I listen for what's underlying your issues and then help you find resolution. I work with you to relieve worries, racing thoughts, poor concentration, panic, moodiness, irritability, relationship problems, and work-related problems.

I specialize in a type of therapy that believes your problem or issue is external to you as a person. It lives in the world, not in you. In my practice we put that problem out in front of us, then step back and examine it. Looking at the problem as separate from you helps you understand it better and allows you to you experience yourself in new ways. I use EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing) and Narrative therapy to treat survivors of trauma, whether that is Big “T” (profound and debilitating) or Little “t” (smaller “everyday” or less pronounced events).

My goal with every client is to create a safe and comfortable space that allows for each client to bring in whatever it is that they are facing in an atmosphere of warmth, curiosity and non-judgement. I believe that every client already possess' innate wisdom and strength and that it can be uncovered through the work of therapy.
