Denver, Colorado therapist: Denver Wellness Counseling, licensed professional counselor
Trauma and PTSD

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.

Broomfield, Colorado therapist: Pamela Silsby-Sharkey, licensed professional counselor
Trauma and PTSD

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.

Denver, Colorado therapist: Camille Larsen, licensed professional counselor
Trauma and PTSD

Camille Larsen

Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, LAC
There are the events that hurt people, and then the aftermath of those events that can go on much longer than the events, themselves. Together, we work at a pace that feels safe to you so you can feel more empowered. I specialize in PTSD and use EMDR, a well-researched therapy for the treatment of trauma, to produce very good results to provide relief and enable you to enjoy your life. For anyone who isn't interested in EMDR, I am also trained in Brainspotting as a treatment method.

Minneapolis, Minnesota therapist: Dr. Sheena Sikorski, psychologist
Trauma and PTSD

Dr. Sheena Sikorski

Psychologist, PsyD, Licensed Psychologist
You haven't necessarily experienced any overt signs of trauma that you often see talked about on social media. But something still feels off because you experienced emotional disconnect and frequent ruptures in your childhood relationships because your parents we really hard on you or withheld love and affection if you didn't perform up to their standards. Nowadays, you're often left feeling like you have to be perfect so you aren't rejected or abandoned by people in your life. If someone doesn't text you back quick enough or your friend is less available now that they've started dating someone new you interpret that as you not being not good enough. If this is you, know that there isn't anything wrong with you. These are perfectly valid feelings to have as a human who longs for connection and belonging. This can be worked through with the help of someone who knows what it's like to be in your shoes and who has the knowledge and experience as well. If you want to learn how to be more compassionate with yourself, soothe your fear of rejection, and learn how to express your needs without fearing your relationships will come crashing down if you share how you feel, then reach out to me and we can talk through how to help you get there.

Trauma and PTSD

Jerleen Sinkes

Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
In working with trauma, my priority is to establish a space of safety and trust, where the story of your trauma is met with the utmost respect and care. I understand that trauma affects not just the mind, but the body and spirit as well. Our journey together involves gently uncovering and working through the painful memories and feelings at a pace that feels manageable for you. My goal is to help you regain a sense of control and self-worth, processing the trauma so that it becomes a part of your story without defining it. Healing from trauma is possible, and I am here to support you through every step of this transformative journey.
