Trauma and PTSD
Dr. Sheena Sikorski
Psychologist, PsyD, Licensed Psychologist
You haven't necessarily experienced any overt signs of trauma that you often see talked about on social media. But something still feels off because you experienced emotional disconnect and frequent ruptures in your childhood relationships because your parents we really hard on you or withheld love and affection if you didn't perform up to their standards. Nowadays, you're often left feeling like you have to be perfect so you aren't rejected or abandoned by people in your life. If someone doesn't text you back quick enough or your friend is less available now that they've started dating someone new you interpret that as you not being not good enough. If this is you, know that there isn't anything wrong with you. These are perfectly valid feelings to have as a human who longs for connection and belonging. This can be worked through with the help of someone who knows what it's like to be in your shoes and who has the knowledge and experience as well. If you want to learn how to be more compassionate with yourself, soothe your fear of rejection, and learn how to express your needs without fearing your relationships will come crashing down if you share how you feel, then reach out to me and we can talk through how to help you get there.

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).

ANIMAL ASSISTED INTERVENIONS
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I am accepting new patients! Animal Assisted Therapy is a goal-directed intervention in which an animal is an integral part of the treatment process. AAT is directed, delivered and documented by a licensed health/human service professional with a specific clinical goal for a particular individual in mind. An animal assisted therapist operates from a theoretical foundation and facilitates change in a client through the clients interactions with an animal. Animal Assisted Interventions operates from a cognitive behavioral approach utilizing canines to effectively assist in a clients journey through the stages of change.
With over 25 years of experience, I specialize in children, adolescents and adults who are experiencing difficulty in their daily functioning. Specifically those issues that stem from past traumatic experiences and memories that may also be leading to attachment, trust and relationship issues.
In addition to animal assisted CBT and EMDR, I also specialize in life coaching and skill building such as job searching and training, parenting, academic achievement, affordable housing/healthcare, etc. Life skills and coaching are based on a comprehensive Bio-Psyco-Social-Spiritual assessment completed during the initial free consultation.

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.

Sometimes life hands us circumstances that we have trouble comprehending or getting over. In the case of trauma and PTSD, rewriting the narrative around these events and healing from those wounds is the way forward.

Iam Jophiel, MPS, LCSW, SEP, CCTP-II
Therapist, @ Rubie Red Slippers
Trauma occurs whenever we experience too much, too fast, too soon; and this does happen at various points in the lives of all human beings. Trauma loops occur when we are unable to complete the natural release of these experiences. Instead, these experiences become trapped in our bodies, emotions and thoughts. I can help you learn to release and let go of the loop.

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.
