Who are the Best Trauma Therapists in Boulder?
Finding the right trauma therapist can feel overwhelming, but you don't have to navigate this journey alone.
As a Licensed Professional Counselor in Boulder, I specialize in helping adults work through anxiety, depression, and trauma using evidence-based approaches like EMDR, CBT, and mindfulness practices.
My approach combines Western psychology with contemplative practices to help you process past experiences and develop healthier thought patterns.
If you're struggling with negative self-beliefs, performance anxiety, or the lingering effects of trauma, I'd love to help you find relief and create lasting change in your life.
While I’d be honored to support you in your trauma recovery journey, I recognize that my practice may not be the best fit for everyone. That’s why I’ve compiled this resource list of other local Boulder trauma therapists. It’s important that you find the support you need, even if that’s not with me.
5 highly-recommended Boulder trauma therapists
1. Jen Taylor, MA, LPCC
I’ve seen the transformative impact of talk therapy firsthand, but it’s not the right fit for everyone. I recommend Jen’s practice if you’re specifically looking for somatic trauma therapy, which is all about tapping into the mind-body connection. She also provides ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, which is another helpful tool for those looking for an alternative to traditional talk therapy.
2. Rosa Dinelli
Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy can be a helpful modality for some people who’ve experienced trauma. It’s all about turning inward and connecting with the different “parts” of you to find internal harmony. IFS is one of Rosa’s specialties, and she’s a Level-II trained IFS clinician, meaning she’s completed extensive training in this modality. I recommend getting in touch with her if you’re specifically looking for IFS.
3. Colorado Women’s Center
Depending on the nature of your specific trauma, you may feel more comfortable in an environment that’s run solely by women, for women, and that’s completely understandable. They specialize in EMDR therapy (which I’m also trained in), a therapeutic modality that can provide quick, long-lasting results.
4. Keri Signoracci MA, LPCC
Trauma can significantly impact relationships. While I work with individuals on long-standing relationship patterns, I don’t currently offer couples therapy. Keri’s practice specializes in trauma-informed couples therapy, so I recommend contacting her practice if you’re looking for that kind of support.
5. Kathleen Salmon
Unfortunately, trauma doesn’t only impact adults–many young people experience trauma as well. Kathleen’s practice specializes in therapy for children, teens, and young adults, so I encourage you to contact her if you need trauma treatment for a young person.
FAQs about trauma treatment
-
Classic trauma responses include intrusive thoughts or flashbacks, nightmares, emotional numbness or overwhelming feelings, hypervigilance, avoiding certain places or situations, difficulty sleeping, and feeling disconnected from others.
However, more subtle patterns, like low self-worth, people-pleasing, and self-criticism, can also result from past traumatic experiences.
Even if you’re not sure if what you experienced in the past is considered “trauma,” therapy can help. Contact me for a free consultation so we can discuss your situation directly.

I use a combination of EMDR, CBT, and mindfulness practices rooted in both Western psychology and Buddhist philosophy.
