Ignite Counseling Colorado
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LPC, LCSW, LMFT, CSAT
Trauma can affect every person differently, often showing up as anxiety, emotional overwhelm, difficulty trusting others, intrusive memories, or patterns that feel hard to break. Recognizing the lasting effects of distressing experiences is often the first step toward healing. At Ignite Counseling Colorado, we use evidence-based trauma therapies tailored to your unique needs and healing process.
Our trauma treatment approaches include:
- Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR): A structured therapy that helps the brain reprocess traumatic memories so they feel less emotionally overwhelming and disruptive.
- Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT): An approach that combines cognitive and behavioral strategies to help process trauma and build healthier coping skills.
- Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): ACT helps you develop psychological flexibility by learning to respond to difficult thoughts and emotions with greater acceptance and intention.
- Internal Family Systems (IFS): IFS helps you understand and heal the different parts of yourself that may carry the pain, protection, or emotional burdens created by trauma.
Our goal is to help you move beyond survival mode, process unresolved pain, and create lasting healing and resilience.

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.
