Trauma and PTSD
Tara Murphy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Trauma leaves lasting imprints on the body, mind, and relationships, and no two experiences of healing look the same. I have extensive experience working with military members, children in the foster care system facing complex trauma, and adults recovering from childhood neglect or abuse. My approach is trauma-informed and highly individualized, integrating IFS, attachment-focused therapy, mindfulness, somatic awareness, family systems, and psychodynamic work. I draw on a range of evidence-based and relational approaches to fit each client’s needs. I also collaborate closely with prescribers when helpful and provide careful diagnostic clarity to distinguish trauma from dissociative disorders, depression, or personality patterns.

Rebecca Castle-Waller
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Hey Survivor, are you tired of feeling guilty and overwhelmed all the time? Everyone else seems so together and you're stuck battling your past? I get it. My name is Rebecca Castle-Waller and I help badass women with trauma become present in their lives and in their relationships, so you can actually enjoy this life you've built.
Many of my clients grew up in chaotic and unstable homes where from a young age they started taking care of others. Making meals, waking their parents up for work, getting their siblings off to school. From there, you went on to take care of your partner and your kiddos while also working hard to keep everything running smoothly. Now with work and relationships and family drama and life you feel constantly stressed out and like you should be doing more. Oh, and you're doing all of this while facing nightmares, flashbacks, numbness, random waves of anger, and the like. Who's taking care of you?
Let's give you a space where you can be your messy, imperfect self so you can finally take care of you. It's time to heal your trauma, you've built an amazing life and you deserve to actually live it.

Trauma and PTSD
Sarah J Thompson
Counselor/Therapist, MEd, LPC, LCMHC
Most people will experience trauma in their lifetime whether it’s a car accident, abuse or neglect, the sudden death of a loved one, a violent criminal act, exposure to the violence of war, or a natural disaster.
While many people can recover from trauma over time with the love and support of family and friends and bounce back with resiliency, others may discover effects of lasting trauma, which can cause a person to live with deep emotional pain, fear, confusion, or post-traumatic stress far after the event has passed.
In these circumstances, the support, guidance, and assistance of a therapist is fundamental to healing from trauma.
Trauma Symptoms
According to the four types of symptoms listed in the DSM-5
Avoidance Symptoms
Avoiding specific locations, sights, situations, and sounds that serve as reminders of the event
Anxiety, depression, numbness, or guilt
Re-experiencing Symptoms
Intrusive thoughts, nightmares or flashbacks
Hyperarousal Symptoms
Anger, irritability, and hypervigilance
Aggressive, reckless behavior, including self-harm
Sleep disturbances
Negative Mood and Cognition Symptoms
Loss of interest in activities that were once considered enjoyable
Difficulty remembering details of the distressing event
Change in habits or behavior since the trauma
Research has proven psychotherapy to be the most effective form of treatment for trauma. Most commonly, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) are used in treating trauma.
If you or someone you know matches the trauma symptoms listed above, I am confident that I can help and invite you to contact me today for a free consultation.

Trauma and PTSD
Sumer Statler Aeed
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
Trauma is the experience not just of what happened to us, but by how our bodies, neurology, and hearts respond to what happened to us. Traumas of 'small t' and traumas of 'big T' both create adaptions to our true selves that can lead in our being 'stuck' in ways that don't serve us, that may create more trauma, or disconnection from our true selves and to our relationships with others. We have multiple ways of healing trauma, including complex traumas, including Flash Therapy, EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), clinical hypnosis, somatic work, art therapy and more. Coming back to your true self, perhaps for the first time, is not a journey to be missed.

Trauma and PTSD

The effects of trauma often extend far beyond the event itself—showing up as hypervigilance, avoidance, intrusive thoughts, or a persistent sense that you're not safe even when the danger has passed. I specialize in helping adults understand how trauma has shaped their nervous system and develop tools for reclaiming a sense of safety and control.

Candice Dow
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, NCC,
CPTSD Healing Rooted in Safety, Connection, and Self-Compassion Living with Complex PTSD often means carrying invisible wounds from relational trauma, chronic stress, or developmental disruptions. I support teens, college students, and adults in gently untangling these patterns—without rushing or retraumatizing. Our work centers nervous system regulation, relational repair, and reclaiming your sense of self. Using EMDR, attachment-based care, and practical tools for shame, dissociation, and emotional overwhelm, we’ll co-create a space where healing feels possible. You don’t have to navigate this alone. Your story matters, and your resilience deserves to be honored.

Trauma and PTSD
Jamie Andersen, M.A., LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, Woodland Counseling
As Gabor Mate says:
"Trauma is a Greek word for wound. Literally that's what it means. So when you understand that, then you realize...trauma is not what happens to you. Trauma is what happens inside you as a result of what happened to you. "Trauma is not the event that inflicted the wound. So, the trauma is not the sexual abuse, the trauma is not the war. Trauma is not the abandonment. The trauma is not the inability of your parents to see you for who you were. Trauma is the wound that you sustained as a result. I have worked with trauma throughout my career and will support you in your healing process. Up to 70% of adults will experience a traumatic event in their lives, sometimes this turns into a PTSD condition. Receiving trauma therapy to assist you on your healing journey can make a big difference. I often combine EMDR and IFS in the trauma work I do with clients and have found many clients respond well to these therapy techniques.

Trauma and PTSD
David Rothman, MA, LPC
Licensed Professional Counselor
Trauma can leave lasting imprints—showing up as overwhelm, hypervigilance, numbness, shame, or moments when your body reacts before you even understand why. These experiences can be confusing, exhausting, and deeply isolating. I offer a calm, compassionate space where we can gently make sense of what you’re carrying at a pace that honors your safety and readiness.
Drawing from trauma-informed approaches, including AEDP and EFT, I help clients reconnect with their inner resources, process overwhelming experiences, and repair the emotional and relational wounds that trauma often leaves behind. Together, we work toward rebuilding a sense of stability, self-trust, and groundedness, so that your past no longer dominates your present. Healing from trauma is possible—and you don’t have to do it alone.

Trauma and PTSD
Carolyn Duhn
Counselor/Therapist, Licensed Professional Counselor
Often PTSD and trauma is thought of as being related to severe abuse, sexual assaults, and direct combat, however, much pain and personal heartache can occur due to other less obvious, but maybe more common occurrences like car accidents, a breakup, the lack of emotional support growing up, or even work-related stress. I'm trained in EMDR, Brainspotting and Splankna to treat PTSD.

Denver's outdoor culture and apparent wellness orientation coexist with high rates of depression, anxiety, and substance use — a tension many locals recognize. The city's rapid growth and housing pressures have intensified stress for longtime residents and newcomers alike, and therapists frequently address adjustment, relationship strain, and burnout tied to the city's boom-era pace. Denver has a significant veteran population given proximity to several military installations, and therapists specializing in military trauma and PTSD are well represented. UCHealth and SCL Health provide major institutional anchors alongside Denver's large and well-established independent therapy community.
