Glenn Permar
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Trauma and PTSD often show up as a nervous system that feels stuck between high alert and shutdown. Even when life looks stable, you may feel easily triggered, emotionally flooded, shut down, or constantly on edge. I work with adults to gently understand these patterns and build steadier responses without rushing the process. Therapy moves at a pace that supports safety and regulation, helping you regain clarity, control, and a grounded sense of self.

Melissa Clark with Fire and Reins
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I support individuals who are living with the effects of trauma and PTSD, including symptoms such as hypervigilance, emotional reactivity or numbness, intrusive memories, difficulty trusting others, and feeling disconnected from safety in themselves or their environment. This work is paced carefully and guided by your capacity, with a strong emphasis on stabilization and emotional safety.
In our work together, we focus on how trauma has shaped your nervous system, relationships, and sense of self in the present moment. Rather than forcing re-experiencing, we build awareness of protective responses, strengthen regulation skills, and gently increase your ability to stay grounded while staying connected to your experience.
This is a collaborative, trauma-informed approach aimed at helping you restore a sense of safety, agency, and internal steadiness, so you can move through life and relationships with more clarity and support.

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).

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.

Lakewood is Denver's largest western suburb, stretching from urban corridors to the foothills, home to the Denver Federal Center's large government workforce and a broad mix of families, young renters, and long-term residents. Its mental health needs are metro-mainstream — work and family stress, housing cost pressure, and outdoor-lifestyle expectations that don't insulate anyone from anxiety or depression. Jefferson Center for Mental Health provides community services, and Denver's deep therapy market is next door.
