Healing at the Root - Not Just Managing Symptoms
Internal Family Systems Therapy & Trauma Treatment in Denver, Colorado
We go beyond traditional talk therapy. Using Internal Family Systems (IFS), trauma-focused therapy, and evidence-based approaches like Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and mindfulness-based treatment, we address what's actually keeping you stuck - not just the symptoms.
Rather than managing anxiety, depression, or trauma on the surface, we help you understand and shift the underlying patterns.
By working with the parts of yourself that hold pain, fear, or protection, you can relate to your inner experience differently – and create change that lasts.
Our Approach: Evidence-Based Therapy That Goes Deeper
Every client is different, so every treatment plan is too. We integrate Internal Family Systems therapy with exposure therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness practices to address both the emotional and nervous system roots of what you're dealing with.
This approach helps restore balance across mind, body, and your nervous system – so healing can actually happen, not just coping.
Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, complex trauma, treatment-resistant depression, or exploring psychedelic-assisted therapy, we meet you where you are with compassion and clinical expertise.

Anxiety, Panic & OCD Treatment: IFS Therapy & Exposure Therapy
Finding Calm Through Connection and Courage
Anxiety usually shows up when protective parts of you are working overtime to keep you safe – but end up keeping you stuck in fear and avoidance instead. Whether you’re dealing with constant worry, panic attacks, obsessive thoughts, or social anxiety, we start by understanding what’s driving it.
Using Internal Family Systems (IFS) combined with Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), we help you face what scares you – gently and at your pace – while helping the anxious parts of you relax and trust that you’re okay. This approach blends mindfulness, acceptance, and compassionate exposure to retrain your nervous system and reduce the grip anxiety has on your life.
We treat:
- Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)
- Panic Disorder and panic attacks
- Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
- Social anxiety and phobias
- Health anxiety and intrusive thoughts
The goal isn’t to get rid of anxiety – it’s to understand it and work with it, so you can live with more freedom and less fear.
Complex Trauma & PTSD Treatment: IFS Therapy for Healing at the Root
Healing What’s Been Held Inside
Trauma isn’t just about what happened – it’s about how your system adapted to survive it. Many people carry parts that still hold pain, fear, or shame long after the danger has passed. These parts can create patterns of reactivity, emotional shutdown, or disconnection that don’t respond to traditional talk therapy alone.
Our trauma therapy uses Internal Family Systems (IFS) with mindfulness-based exposure and somatic (body-based) work. By helping you safely connect with the parts of yourself that carry trauma, your inner system can begin to reorganize – restoring a sense of safety, presence, and trust in yourself.
We treat:
- Complex PTSD (C-PTSD) and developmental trauma
- Childhood abuse and attachment trauma
- Emotional neglect and relational wounds
- Dissociation and feeling disconnected from yourself
- Treatment-resistant trauma that hasn’t responded to other therapy
For clients seeking deeper work, we also offer legal ketamine-assisted therapy and psilocybin-assisted therapy. These approaches can support trauma resolution by creating emotional openness and access to healing states that facilitate release and integration under clinical guidance.
Depression Treatment & Treatment-Resistant Depression: IFS Therapy & Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy
Reclaiming Connection, Energy, and Meaning
Depression can feel like being cut off from yourself – when parts of you withdraw to avoid disappointment, pain, or overwhelm. Our approach focuses on understanding why these parts shut down, with compassion, while using evidence-based methods to help you re-engage with your life.
We integrate Internal Family Systems (IFS), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness-based behavioral activation to support emotional healing and help you live in line with what matters to you.
For clients with treatment-resistant depression or chronic mood issues that haven’t responded to other treatments, we offer psilocybin-assisted therapy when appropriate – helping restore access to hope, connection, and a sense of purpose.
We help with:
- Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) and Persistent Depressive Disorder
- Treatment-resistant depression
- Bipolar disorder and mood instability
- Grief and loss
- Emotional numbness and burnout
- Anhedonia (inability to feel pleasure)
Our work goes beyond managing symptoms – it’s about reconnecting with the parts of yourself that carry hope, energy, and meaning.
