Trauma & PTSD Counseling in Colorado

Flashbacks or memories that intrude without warning. A nervous system stuck on high alert long after the danger has passed. Feeling disconnected from a life that used to feel safe. You shouldn't have to carry that alone. Overcomers Counseling offers trauma and PTSD counseling across Colorado Springs, Aurora, Fort Collins, and Pueblo, plus statewide teletherapy.

You Don't Have to Carry This Alone

Trauma changes how your brain and body respond to the world, even when you logically know you're safe now. That's not a flaw in you — it's how trauma works. Our therapists provide trauma-informed care that moves at a pace that respects your safety and readiness.

Recognizing Trauma and PTSD

Common signs include intrusive memories or flashbacks, hypervigilance, avoidance of trauma reminders, difficulty sleeping, emotional numbness, and a persistent sense of danger even in safe situations. Trauma can result from a single event or prolonged experiences, and both deserve care.

How Our Therapists Help

Our providers use EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), one of the most effective evidence-based treatments for trauma, along with other trauma-informed approaches to help you process what happened and reclaim a sense of safety. For clients who want it, we also offer faith-integrated counseling.

How can childhood trauma affect relationships?

Childhood trauma can make it difficult to trust people and to form new relationships.

It can also lead to conflict in existing relationships. Trauma can also make it difficult to communicate and be intimate with others.

If you have experienced childhood trauma, it's important to seek help from a therapist or counselor who can help you heal and develop healthy relationships.

What are some of the effects of childhood trauma?

The effects of childhood trauma can include anxiety, depression, addiction, and difficulty in relationships.

How can I get help if I'm struggling with the effects of childhood trauma?

If you're struggling with the effects of childhood trauma, there are many ways to get help.

You can talk to your partner about what you're going through, seek help from a therapist or counselor, join a support group, or take care of yourself both physically and emotionally.

What should I do if I encounter a trigger during a therapy session?

Inform your therapist immediately if you experience a trigger during a session.

They can help guide you through grounding techniques or adjust the session's focus to ensure you feel supported and safe.

How can I prepare for potential triggers in social or public settings?

Develop a plan for coping with triggers in social or public settings.

This may include having grounding techniques or a self-soothing toolkit readily available, identifying exit strategies if needed, or enlisting the support of a trusted friend or family member.

Can I completely avoid triggers during my healing journey?

While it is natural to want to avoid triggers, complete avoidance is not always possible or productive.

Instead, focus on developing coping strategies and building resilience to help manage triggers when they arise.

How long will it take for me to become less impacted by my triggers?

The timeline for reducing the impact of triggers varies for each individual and depends on factors such as the nature of the trauma and the progress made in therapy.

Be patient with yourself and work closely with your therapist to monitor your progress.

Is it normal for new triggers to emerge during the healing process?

Yes, it is possible for new triggers to emerge as you delve deeper into your healing journey. Discuss any new triggers with your therapist, who can help you develop strategies for managing them effectively.

What if my triggers are related to everyday situations or objects?

Work with your therapist to develop coping strategies and desensitization techniques to help reduce the impact of triggers related to everyday situations or objects.

Can I expect my triggers to eventually disappear completely?

While some triggers may diminish over time as you progress in therapy and healing, others may persist but become more manageable through the development of coping strategies and increased resilience.

Abby Leverentz, LPCC
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Abby is the most professional and strongest counselor I have ever worked with. Having a psychology background and working in social services, I am familiar or have worked with dozens of therapists. She is maintained a very professional approach and her model of counseling is a perfect blend between structure and empathy. I have recommended her services to several people and intended to continue doing so!

Serena Chalepah, LPCC
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Serena has not only knowledge, but compassion, understanding, guidance to push through whatever obstacles I have faced, and the advice needed to learn new traits or skills. I’ve definitely had a battle of finding a therapist I not only connect with, but someone I’m comfortable sharing some uncomfortable situations with to help move past. She’s been so very patient with me and my life’s ups and downs. I can’t thank her enough for being so genuine! Has been nothing but a great experience!
