Denver, CO 80202
My background includes childhood sexual abuse, Traumatic Brain Injury, drug abuse, depression, anxiety, toxic relationships, as well as other sources of psychological distress.
Life is unpredictable and challenging. Whether due to a life changing event that occurs in the blink of an eye, or circumstances existing for years or even decades, inevitably we all experience periods in our lives where we feel overwhelmed, isolated, inadequate, depressed, anxious, or even broken. Often these feelings are the byproduct of stress or even trauma. If not properly managed, the effects of stress and trauma will eventually have a detrimental effect on our careers, and, more importantly, our personal relationships and families. In some cases, our personal relationships may actually be the source of the stress or trauma.

I have specific experience w-veterans; how to adapt treatment for those with bipolar or TBI; specific training in trauma-related nightmares; ongoing training in sleep disorders thru webinars.
If you're saying "I can't sleep!", I can help. Enjoy restorative sleep & vital days. Maybe you've had insomnia for years - it's still fixable. We can change the habit of lying awake, worrying, watching the clock - insomnia can be resolved w-out drugs. Sadly, many professionals prescribe drugs (don't work long-term) or "sleep hygiene," which won't fix chronic insomnia. Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia is a short-term treatment - 6-10 sessions. Trauma-related nightmares can also be treated in just 5 sessions, allowing more sleep, fewer PTSD symptoms. During flu/covid season, I'm online only.

I specialize in working with individuals navigating life with persistent concussion symptoms (PCS), traumatic brain injury (TBI), chronic pain, illness, injury and grief.
Hello, my name is Cait Ward, LSW and I am a provider with iSeek Counseling. I believe emotional care is essential to growth and healing. Chronic pain, injury, and illness pose unique difficulties for those who are impacted. Symptoms can vary drastically by individual. Daily functioning is altered and there is often no clear timeline for recovery. Given its invisible and unpredictable nature, it is common for those who are in this type of pain to feel isolated and detached from themselves and from others. Additionally, our medical model does not adequately address the complexity of the human experience when we are in pain.

My specialty areas include PTSD and mild to moderate Traumatic Brain Injury interpersonal relationship skills.
There are many theories, techniques, diagnoses, and labels out there. It is not my place to judge or label my clients. My clients are not numbers on a file, clients are people with the courage to seek out a professional to help them walk through their journeys. Each client is an individual with their own issues, needs, and wanting to be heard. It is often pain and/or despair that bring clients into counseling. I respect the courage it takes to be willing to change and overcome obstacles instead of being overcome by them.

You are a product of your life history and your perspective is integral in the process of achieving a lasting positive change. Often times the issues that people describe are only part of the problem. I can help you gain insight so that you can work towards the goals that you desire.

My master's degree thesis was about Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and Traumatic Brain Injuries.
Wholehearted Counseling's approach to therapy speaks to "whole person wellness." I am looking forward to meeting you where you are and building a trusting, working relationship that honors your story and experiences. This viewpoint speaks to a phrase I've developed that also guides my life, "Our perspective on issues coming our way will determine if we live an adventurous or miserable life."

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Therapists
When should someone seek treatment for a traumatic brain injury?
People should seek a diagnosis and treatment after a head injury, especially if they were unconscious, and an early diagnosis can lead to a better recovery. Signs of a concussion include headaches, nausea or vomiting, exhaustion, dizziness, vision problems, sensitivity to light and sound, problems with attention and memory, brain fog, unusual irritability or sadness, and unusual sleep patterns.
What’s the most common treatment for a traumatic brain injury?
Treatment for a traumatic brain injury will be different depending on the severity of the problem. For mild injuries, treatment may involve rest and over-the-counter pain or headache medication. For moderate or severe injuries, treatment may involve stabilization, medication, and rehabilitative therapies such as physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, cognitive therapy, and counseling.
How long does it take to recover from traumatic brain injury?
The recovery time for a traumatic brain injury depends on the individual and the severity and nature of the injury; the length of time spent unconscious is often an indicator of severity. Recovery time for mild injuries may be a week or two while recovery time for more severe injuries may be six months to two years. Research suggests that the vast majority of recovery occurs in the first two years after an injury; recovery after that time frame is less certain.
What if a traumatic brain injury is left untreated?
If a traumatic brain injury is left untreated, it can lead to long-term physical and mental health problems. Physical problems may include dizziness, headaches, vision, healing, or speech loss, and an elevated risk of dementia. Psychological problems may include impairments of memory, judgment, and decision-making, depression, aggression, poor impulse control, and personality changes.
