Denver Wellness Counseling
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
Here at Denver Wellness Counseling we specialize in EMDR and trauma/PTSD counseling. Our therapists have achieved advanced training in what we call Elevated EMDR, meaning the ability to effectively combine modalities and adapt the EMDR basic protocol to best meet the needs of the client.
Therapy for Trauma and PTSD have some primary components, including (but not limited to), gathering history, identifying parts of self related to the trauma (wounded younger parts and protector parts), building and practicing skills for self-regulation and self-soothing, resourcing by strengthening internal qualities and sources of positive affect, reprocessing traumatic memories (EMDR), and integrating adaptive themes and positive messages about self and the world.
Traumatic memories are stored differently in the brain, remaining in their "raw" form, in isolation from our adaptive (helpful) information, and able to impact our day-to-day experiences. With PTSD, our traumatic memories can frequently cause us to flash back into trauma-related thoughts, feelings, sensation, and action urges (fight, flight, freeze, submit, cry for help). EMDR uses eye movements or other bilateral sensations (similar to those found in REM sleep) to activate and encourage the brains natural ability to "reprocess" memories, which can both desensitize the memory (take the intensity out) and allow integration with the more adaptive neural circuitry. This process of emotional reprocessing can thus take the power away from these memories so they stop replaying and impacting our current functioning.

Natalie Stemati
Psychologist, Psy.D.
A lot of people experience trauma within their family of origin. I work with developmental (childhood) and attachment (ways of learning how to emotionally bond) trauma which includes growing up in alcoholism, abuse, conflict, parent death and/or any traumatic experience endured during childhood. As a result, a lot of people develop a type of insecure attachment that impacts their current relationships (i.e. dependency, fear, conflict, anxiety).

Ruth Weinberg
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Have you ever had an intense emotional and physical reaction to something even though it doesn't logically seem threatening? Do you experience anxiety about something despite a feeling that it shouldn't bother you? Are you a survivor of a violent incident, car accident, medical trauma, physical or sexual abuse? These painful experiences require courage and compassion to heal from. The treatment of trauma requires going beyond talk therapy and accessing the parts of our brain that are concerned with keeping us safe. My extensive experience and training in trauma work gives me the understanding necessary to help clients move through the places in their brain and body where trauma is held, process through it, release it and leave it in the past. Using EMDR, mindfulness and IFS can be central to this process.

TRS Neurofeedback & Counseling
Counselor/Therapist, Ph.D., LPC, BCN, QEEG-D
With developmental trauma we have found that the brain and body "Keep the Score" as Bessel Vanderkolk explains in his book on the subject. Neurofeedback gently helps the brain shift and heal from past trauma. It is not as quick and easy as less complex anxiety and depression, but most clients get to a significantly better place of emotional and behavioral regulation.

Feel To Heal Psychotherapy, LLC
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Trauma and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can have profound effects on individuals' lives. In psychotherapy, various modalities such as Parts Work, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) have shown effectiveness in helping individuals heal from trauma and manage PTSD symptoms.
Parts Work involves exploring the different parts of oneself that have been affected by trauma, allowing for a deeper understanding and integration of these experiences. EMDR is a therapeutic approach that focuses on processing traumatic memories and their associated negative beliefs, helping individuals reprocess these experiences in a more adaptive way. ACT helps individuals develop mindfulness skills and acceptance of their trauma-related thoughts and emotions, empowering them to live in alignment with their values despite their past experiences.
By incorporating these modalities into therapy sessions and addressing trauma and PTSD from multiple angles, individuals can work towards healing, processing their trauma, and moving towards a place of greater emotional well-being.
