PTSD/Trauma
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).

PTSD/Trauma
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.

PTSD/Trauma
Somatic Spiritual Counseling
Counselor/Therapist, MDiv, SEPc, Registered Psychotherapist
We specialize in Trauma and PTSD, including C-PTSD. Trauma is anything that happens too much, too fast, or too soon. Our bodies have ways to move through these high-intensity states, but they often need a little help and support to metabolize our experiences slowly and safely. Through somatic trauma therapy, we help you work with these responses at a pace that feels safe and manageable.

Susana Levy, Makaua Art Therapy
Art Therapist, LPCC, ATRP
My specialty is supporting people living with trauma and PTSD through mindfulness-based, person-centered practices that prioritize safety, choice, and gentle reconnection with the present moment. Drawing on rituals and rites of passage, as well as my work as a cacao facilitator and yoga teacher, I create grounding, embodied spaces that support regulation and resilience. I value compassionate presence, creativity, and body awareness as ways to explore thoughts, emotions, and sensations at a pace that honors each individual’s lived experience.

PTSD/Trauma
Katherine Coder
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, PhD, LPC, LMHC
Trauma and PTSD are ultimately forms of nervous system dysregulation and where the primitive brain may be holding onto life experience that was too early, too fast or too much ~ all of which overwhelms our natural capacities for processing. We can work with Somatic Experiencing and Deep Brain Orienting to help you move through what overwhelmed you so that your nervous system can return to a regulated state. It is very possible to heal from both trauma and PTSD, and you can do more than manage your symptoms. Our bodies are made to heal!

PTSD/Trauma
Elinor Nygren Szapiro
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA LPC, EMDR II, Brainspotting Certification, Hypnotherapy
Difficult and traumatic events, even ones that may seem like 'not that big a deal', stay lodged in our physical bodies and nervous systems. When you find yourself overreacting (or having a bigger reaction than a situation seems to warrant), that is often because the current situation is activating/triggering a previous event/trauma. Trauma is held in the body, below the mind, and, therefore, cannot be cleared by talk therapy alone. Thebody/mind, neurophysiological methods of Brainspotting and EMDR reach into the body and the primitive brain where the trauma is held and can help gently release the trauma.

Online in Boulder, CO
Boulder is home to the University of Colorado Boulder and has one of the highest educational attainment rates and most progressive cultures of any American city, with exceptional access to therapy—CU's graduate programs produce many trained clinicians—alongside the specific pressures of a city with extreme housing costs, intense social comparison around physical fitness and achievement, and a large university student population. The 2021 King Soopers mass shooting created community-level trauma that remains present in Boulder's collective consciousness, and local therapists have significant experience with trauma-informed care. The city's outdoor recreation culture and emphasis on wellness are genuine assets but can also create pressure around physical appearance and lifestyle perfection that feeds anxiety and disordered eating. Common therapy concerns include academic perfectionism, housing insecurity anxiety, trauma, the psychological pressure of an exceptionally high-achieving and health-conscious culture, and student mental health.
