Trauma Therapy in Wheat Ridge and Virtual Across Colorado.

Heal From Within

Is this depression? Anxiety? Am I bipolar? Am I am an addict? Am I a narcissist?  Or is this Trauma?

Does this sound like you?

You’re driven in every area of your life (health, relationships, career, etc.), but when you burnout it feels debilitating. 

You’re seen as a leader and high-functioning, and people can depend on you (sometimes too much).  

You don’t know why sometimes you get caught up in something someone said or did and you can’t seem to let it go.  

You find yourself spiraling (hating yourself, hating them, hating everything, hating everyone), arguing abrasively to protect yourself, withdrawing, or claming up.  

The only way to stop this spiral is to work harder, numb out (TV, food, substances), isolate, or distract yourself.  

You feel your heart racing, tense, uneasy, tightness, and/or pressure in your body.  

This leads to feelings of “I’m not good enough,” “I’m unworthy,” “I’m unloveable,” “I’m a burden,” “I’m too sensitive,” “I’m bad,” “I’m a failure,” and/or “I can’t trust anyone.” 

 If you’re not criticizing yourself you're criticizing someone else.  

After an episode like this, you pick up more self-help books but nothing seems to resonate or nothing seems to change. 

You’ve come such a long way in your life. You strive to be your best self, but these episodes seem to be getting in the way.

HOW WE CAN HELP

Relationship therapy can help you build confidence and cultivate healthy connections with yourself and others.

We will help you:

  • Build Confidence: Together, we'll uncover the roots of your insecurities and reshape how you see yourself, leading to healthier, more fulfilling relationships. You'll learn effective tools to regain control whenever old patterns of self-doubt try to resurface. You deserve to believe in your worth and expect others to see it too.

    Find Balance: Through our sessions, you'll gain clarity on why you sometimes make choices that don't serve you. Even when you know better, old habits can be hard to break. We'll equip you with strategies that empower you to enthusiastically say "yes" to what truly fulfills you and confidently say "no" to what no longer does. Together, we'll help you achieve the equilibrium you've been seeking, so you can live a more balanced and satisfying life.

    Transforming Thoughts and Behaviors: We'll challenge and reframe the perspectives that stem from your past experiences, helping you adopt healthier ways of thinking and feeling. When you approach situations with confidence and security, your behavior naturally aligns with your true goals and values. Imagine living in a way that reflects who you truly are and what you genuinely want from life.

IMAGINE IF YOU…

  • Felt calm during conflict rather than fight, flight, freeze or people please

  • Didn’t question or feel shame about what you said or did during an argument

  • Could ask confidently for what you wanted or needed out of your relationships

  • Set boundaries to protect yourself and your energy

  • Didn’t feel the need to earn your love, but instead were confident to know your worth.

I WANT YOU TO BELIEVE:

YOU ARE WORTHY OF HEALTHY LOVE

Let's work together to strengthen your confidence in both yourself and your relationships. We'll help you uncover the roots of your behaviors and equip you with practical tools to manage symptoms, reactions, and establish healthy boundaries. This transformative work will empower you to thrive in all areas of your life and relationships.
