PTSD Therapy in Boulder, Colorado

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is your nervous system's way of trying to protect you after something overwhelming. With the right support, PTSD is highly treatable. Our trauma-informed therapists in Boulder offer evidence-based PTSD treatment in person and via telehealth across Colorado.

Hypervigilance & Startle

Feeling constantly on guard, easily startled, irritable, or unable to relax.

Evidence-Based PTSD Treatments We Offer

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing): A research-backed method for reprocessing traumatic memories so they no longer feel charged. Learn more about EMDR therapy.

Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT): A structured, short-term therapy that helps you challenge stuck beliefs about safety, trust, control, and self-worth.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Tools to reduce trauma-related anxiety and reshape unhelpful thought patterns. See CBT therapy.

Somatic Approaches: Body-based work that helps your nervous system complete what it could not finish during the trauma. See somatic therapy.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills: Practical tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and grounding. See DBT therapy.
