Complex PTSD Therapy in Denver, CO

Relational healing for those navigating deep, enduring trauma

Complex PTSD (CPTSD) often stems from prolonged, repeated trauma—especially in relationships where safety, trust, or autonomy were compromised. Unlike single-incident trauma, CPTSD can shape how you see yourself, relate to others, and move through the world. You may feel stuck in cycles of shame, hypervigilance, emotional overwhelm, or disconnection. You are not alone—and you are not broken.

At Dow Counseling Services, I offer a safe, affirming space to explore these experiences at your pace. Together, we’ll work to untangle the impact of relational trauma and reconnect you with your inner strength, clarity, and capacity for healing..

🧠 What Is Complex PTSD?

CPTSD is a trauma-related condition that can arise from:

  • Childhood emotional neglect or abuse

  • Domestic violence or coercive relationships

  • Systemic oppression or chronic invalidation

  • Repeated betrayal or abandonment

Symptoms may include:

  • Persistent feelings of shame or guilt

  • Difficulty trusting others or forming relationships

  • Emotional dysregulation or numbness

  • Flashbacks, nightmares, or body-based trauma responses

  • Negative self-image or identity confusion

💬 My Approach to CPTSD Treatment

Healing from CPTSD requires more than symptom management—it calls for relational repair, emotional safety, and deep self-understanding. My approach integrates:

  • EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) To help reprocess traumatic memories and reduce emotional intensity

  • Attachment-Based Therapy To explore relational patterns and build secure, meaningful connections

  • CBT & Somatic Awareness To support emotional regulation and reconnect with your body’s wisdom

  • Holistic Care We’ll consider lifestyle, sleep, nutrition, identity, and cultural context—because healing is never one-size-fits-all
