There is no one best therapy for PTSD; it all depends on what approach will help you process the trauma you’ve experienced. However, many clients find greater success with EMDR than traditional talk therapy. 

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a therapy used to help clients resolve traumatic memories in a way that is often more effective than traditional talk therapy. There are many great benefits to EMDR therapy for the resolution of PTSD symptoms.  For more information on this therapy, please visit our page, About EMDR.

Although traumas, both large and small, can feel debilitating, you do not need to continue to suffer. Reaching out for help through trauma therapy, counseling and treatment is the first step to healing. Trauma counseling and PTSD treatment are solutions that will help you to get on the track to feeling better, more productive and able to live your life without being overwhelmed by the weight of those negative feelings.

At Greenwood Counseling Center, we specialize in providing trauma counseling, complex trauma counseling and PTSD treatment in Denver and the surrounding areas.

We have provided trauma counseling to hundreds of clients, many of whom have experienced tragic loss, childhood abuse, sexual abuse, prolonged exposure to trauma or abuse, or unthinkable crises. There is no comprehensive list of PTSD symptoms for individuals.

What we have learned in our work with these individuals is that the human spirit is amazingly resilient. Some of the most impressive and empowered people have endured devastating loss and trauma, and have recovered after emerging from the difficult feelings that accompany these experiences. Through effective trauma counseling, they have learned to embrace themselves fully, accept the story of their life, and claim empowerment over themselves and their choices.

EMDR PTSD Treatment

Through specific therapies such as EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy, a therapy very often used to treat PTSD and complex PTSD, they are able to find relief.

Spending countless hours with a counselor who does not understand the unique aspects of trauma therapy and PTSD treatment may be like spinning your wheels in the mud -you go nowhere fast. Successful trauma counseling and PTSD treatment requires that a counselor have unique education and understanding of the issues and use an approach to healing that is sensitive to the emotions and past experiences of the client.  The therapists at Greenwood Counseling Center have done extensive work in trauma counseling and therapy areas.

Due to the unique aspect of each person’s circumstances, we adjust our approach to address all specific areas of one’s struggle.

Our clinicians can work with you to establish goals to be addressed on a gradual timeline in order to manage the costs.  Don’t let the time commitment stop you from finding relief and reclaiming your happiness. There are many ways we can work with your concerns.

Talking about your feelings and experiences in a safe environment with a trusted counselor can actually make you feel better when the therapist understands the unique aspects of working with trauma. We understand how difficult it can be to share such emotionally charged memories with someone. 

We work to establish trust with our clients so that discussing these emotions is not so difficult   We begin trauma work by teaching skills and tools to help you cope with the difficult emotions that are the result of traumatic experiences.  

We then may use EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) in the trauma therapy. This approach to therapy helps you to draw from your strengths and resources as you process the difficult information in the safe environment of our offices.
