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.

Danielle Martinelli-Taylor
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, EMDRIA
EMDR and ART are specifically designed to work with the deep-seated trauma that is stored in the body. Trauma breaks, and these methods are designed for your brain to find the means to mend. The wounds from childhood abuse, trauma, or disruption of attachment lead the mind and body to act in old ways that can feel out of your control. Using these steps can help reprocess those old mentalities to engage with the people and situations in the present in a grounded and present way.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, CYT
Somatic Experiencing is a wonderfully gentle and effective approach to healing trauma from its core-- the nervous system, where survival is stuck and might have you feeling like the past is still happening. I am honored to work with various traumas, from childhood experiences, to sexual assault, to car accidents, or medical and birthing traumas. Please see much much more on my profile and website, including how to connect to learn more about this special work.

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.

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).
