Healing Trauma with Compassionate, Evidence-Based Care in Westminster, CO

Understanding Trauma Therapy

Trauma can profoundly impact your emotional and physical well-being. Whether you’ve experienced a single distressing event or ongoing traumatic stress, the effects can feel overwhelming. At Ignite Counseling Colorado, we provide trauma therapy that helps you regain a sense of safety, process difficult memories, and build the resilience needed to move forward.

Our trauma-informed therapists specialize in working with individuals struggling with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), complex PTSD, and unresolved grief. Through compassionate, evidence-based approaches, we support you in healing at your own pace.

Our Trauma Therapy Approaches

We utilize proven therapeutic techniques tailored to your unique experiences and healing process:

  • Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR): A structured therapy that helps your brain reprocess traumatic memories, reducing their emotional intensity and physical distress.

  • Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT): A specialized approach that integrates cognitive and behavioral strategies to help you challenge negative thought patterns and regain control over your emotions.

  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) & Internal Family Systems (IFS): Methods that help you build psychological flexibility and explore different parts of yourself that may have been impacted by trauma.

What to Expect in Trauma Therapy

Healing from trauma is a process, and our approach is rooted in the five principles of trauma-informed care:

  1. Safety – We create a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where you feel secure in your healing journey.

  2. Trustworthiness – Transparency in the therapy process ensures you know what to expect at every step.

  3. Choice – You have autonomy in your treatment plan, with therapy tailored to your specific needs.

  4. Collaboration – We work with you as an equal partner in your healing journey.

  5. Empowerment – Our goal is to help you reclaim your sense of strength, resilience, and control.

Healing Trauma & PTSD with EMDR

EMDR light bar

Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing or EMDR works effectively to stimulate both hemispheres of the brain to reprocess traumatic information, moving it out of the amygdala and into areas of the brain where these memories are less disruptive. We now have the scientific research to back up the fact that psychological traumatic injury is not only a “real” physical condition, but that it can actually alter a person’s DNA and be passed down from one generation to the next.

If you are unsure that trauma is impacting you, or whether EMDR might help, here are some useful self-assessment questions courtesy of the EMDR Therapist Network:

1.     Are you losing productivity at home or at work because of symptoms of anxiety?

2.     Are you still feeling depressed or lonely, despite the practice of positive thinking? Are you angry all the time, and don't know why?

3.     Are you frustrated that the "real you" is buried by hair-trigger, out of control emotions?

4.     Have phobias limited your life, despite your best efforts to overcome them?

5.     Have you been in therapy "forever," wrestling with the same old problems?

6.     Have you tried cognitive therapies only to find your emotions still ruling your life?

7.     Do you want to calm the chaos of self-defeating thoughts, feelings, and behaviors?

8.     Do you want to get to the root cause of chronic symptoms?

9.     Do you want to reduce stress and its negative impact on your physical health?
