Pamela Silsby-Sharkey
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, NCC, Coach
Polyvagal informed therapy helps to regulate the nervous system and helps us relearn how to co-regulate with others again. Trauma occurs whenever our nervoius systems are overwhelmed and go into fight, flight, or freeze. Ideally we shift out of dorsal vagal and into ventral vagal. Brainspotting, Tapping, EMDR, and IFS are wonderful modalities for treating trauma. Trauma is pervasive, it's everywhere. It shows up as big "T" traumas and as little "t" traumas. Creating a safe place to heal from is the priority so that we can begin to heal.

Roni Ruiz, LCSW - Through the Elements Wellness
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Being a survivor of traumatic events (little or big) takes a toll on the brain, body, and mind. Together we will explore the impacts of trauma on the brain, build emotional regulation strategies that feel supportive, and eventually work through the traumatic experiences (when you are ready) to make life and relationships more manageable, enjoyable, and safe.

Timothy Long
Registered Psychotherapist
I myself grew up in a toxic, dysfunctional, abusive family. It caused me to suffer many years from severe complex PTSD, anxiety, depression, social anxiety with severe blushing, and much more. Trauma and PTSD can be caused by many experiences in childhood or in our adult years. Just talk therapy will not resolve it. After trying many therapies myself, and training in different forms of therapy, I know what really works. I want to help you resolve your trauma and/or PTSD. It is not as difficult as many people think. I offer a 30 minute complimentary session for you to find how we can work together to heal and create the life you want. You can easily schedule on my website or email me.

Megan Ramos
Counselor/Therapist, MA, LPC
"Trauma is not what happens to us, but what we hold inside in the absence of an empathetic witness" -Peter Levine. I love this quote. I support people to bring a sense of larger presence and compassion to body memories that are held inside as trauma. Through this, what we hold inside can unwind and digest, allowing the clouds to part and our true self to shine through. I have training in somatic therapy, EMDR, and Somatic Experiencing and bring these modalities in when working with Trauma and PTSD.

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).

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.
