Somatic trauma therapy near Observatory Park and University of Denver for nervous system healing

Trauma Therapy in Observatory Park, Denver

Trauma recovery isn't about inventing a new version of yourself; it’s about gently uncovering the person you’ve always been—the one who had to become small or shape shift just to survive the most difficult chapters of your life. While your mind may have moved past those events, your physical body often remains tethered to them, and the parts that have adapted out of survival often stick around. With our approach to trauma therapy, which integrates somatic work with the neurobiology of trauma, we can address trauma from the root, re-wiring your nervous system and helping you access true relief from the pain you’ve been experiencing for so long.

Connect with a trauma therapist

For many of us who have experienced trauma, talk therapy alone simply doesn’t cut it. We specialize in offering therapy that fills that gap.

Many of our clients arrive with a profound awareness of their history and a toolbox of skills to interrupt unhelpful patterns as they arise. Yet they still experience a sense of being stuck, anxious, or fundamentally detached from themselves and those around them. This gap is a frequent hurdle in the trauma recovery process, and it is exactly the therapeutic sweet spot that we love supporting clients in. While conventional talk therapy centers on the mind, genuine nervous system regulation demands a deeper, body-oriented perspective. This is the core of somatic trauma therapy.

Our trauma therapists help clients heal trauma at the source, not simply manage symptoms.

Through engaging the body and nervous system and connecting to past parts of ourselves, we shift from knowing to feeling. This is the place in the work where the transformance begins. By helping your nervous system move through the physical storage of past trauma, we create the internal safety necessary to heal attachment wounds and rebuild a foundational sense of self-trust. As your nervous system moves out of high alert, the grip of anxiety and intrusive thoughts begins to loosen, allowing you to authentically reconnect with yourself and the people you love.

We specialize in somatic, relational trauma therapy modalities to support full nervous system healing, including:

EMDR Therapy

Parts Work/Inner Child Therapy

AEDP Therapy

Internal Family Systems Therapy/IFS

Somatic Therapy

Emotion Focused Therapy

Denver trauma therapist near University of Denver specializing in body-based healing and attachment

Somatic Trauma Therapy in Observatory Park, Denver

Constant people pleasing, a racing heart, persistent exhaustion, or the reflexive urge to isolate entirely are not signs that you are broken. They are the sophisticated ways your nervous system has learned to keep you safe and able to continue putting one foot in front of the other. It’s important to honor their function even if they now feel like obstacles to your daily life.

The work of somatic therapy is to stop fighting these survival patterns and start listening to the messages they carry. When we shift from trying to "fix" ourselves to understanding our body's protective language, we create the space for true regulation and healing to occur. By honoring how your system has adapted to your history, we can begin the process of unlearning chronic stress and returning to a state of internal stability and facilitating reconnection with ourselves and others.

Why Somatic Therapy for trauma?

While talk therapy addresses the narrative of your life, somatic work addresses the physiology. Our approach allows you to:
