Childhood trauma is deeply personal

Only you can define what constitutes trauma in your life. When it comes to adverse childhood experiences, also known as ACEs, recognizing and understanding the emotional injuries can be challenging, even when you know they’re there.

Many people discover the impact of childhood trauma in their adult relationships, careers, and overall well-being. ACEs can stem from a variety of circumstances, including toxic parenting and narcissistic abuse, that were stressful or damaging during childhood. Common examples include:

  • Neglectful parenting: Growing up in a household where your needs were not met.
  • Witnessing domestic violence: Observing abusive behavior between parents or caregivers.
  • Sexual abuse: Experiencing unwanted sexual contact or behaviors.
  • Narcissistic or emotional abuse: Feeling worthless or gaslighted in everyday life, often from an unstable parent.
  • Family addiction: Living with a family member struggling with substance abuse

Effects of childhood trauma

The impact of childhood trauma can be far-reaching. Many adults find that their past experiences continue to influence their relationships, careers, and overall well-being. It’s important to remember that everyone’s experience is unique. 

The way our parents or caregivers treated us can significantly shape our self-perception and worldview. Combined with experiences in school and with siblings, these early interactions can create complex patterns that may continue to influence us as adults, and these show up at work, in our relationships, and our friendships.

Healing from childhood trauma can happen with the help of a skilled therapist. Without addressing the underlying issues, individuals may experience a range of adverse effects, including:

  • Mental health disorders: Anxiety, panic disorder, and PTSD are common consequences of untreated trauma.
  • Physical health issues: Chronic stress can increase the risk of hypertension, autoimmune diseases, and other health problems.
  • Impaired brain development: Trauma can negatively impact brain development, leading to difficulties with emotional regulation and social skills.

Healing may not be so much about getting better, as about letting go of everything that isn’t you – all of the expectations, all of the beliefs – and becoming who you are.

Meet our therapists

My Denver Therapy is one of the largest woman-owned therapy private practices in Colorado with many of the best, most requested mental health therapists in the Denver Metro area. 

As a therapist-owned practice with decades of combined experience, we care about seeing our clients heal, grow, and thrive. We’re one of the only therapy practices in Colorado with licensed professional counselors, marriage and family therapists, addiction counselors, social workers, and psychiatric nurse practitioners who actively see new clients. Whether you’re an adult, teen, young adult, couple, or family, our inclusive therapist team is built to specialize in you.

Our practice started with one therapist in a shared office suite, but we’ve grown to help thousands of people in Colorado by providing in-person therapy at our conveniently located Denver Metro area counseling offices in Denver, Greenwood Village, and Lone Tree, plus online therapy for clients throughout Colorado. Because of the way our team works, our therapists provide consultation for other therapists and private practices in the Denver Metro area.

Our inclusive therapists provide some of the most innovative, effective, and in-demand forms of therapy available today, including EMDR, Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, CBT, and IFS. We also have more therapists trained in Ketamine-assisted therapy and more teen therapists and young adult counselors than nearly every other private practice in Denver.

We know that clients want to find the best therapists in Denver, so our team includes therapists with different backgrounds, specialities, and experiences to help you find the right fit. We’ll match you with one of our therapists who is the best for your goals, location, budget, and schedule to help you get started quickly.

We’re out of network for insurance, Tricare, and are unable to take Medicaid, but most of our therapists’ rates are lower than the local and national averages for therapy. 

All of our therapists take a client-focused approach to counseling and approach each session with  a commitment to your progress and growth.
