Therapy forSurvivors of Domestic Violence and Domestic Abuse in Denver

Find your path to healing with a trauma therapist in Denver.

Denver therapists for survivors of abusive relationships

If you’re a survivor of domestic violence in Denver, you are not alone.

At My Denver Therapy, we understand the complex and overwhelming emotions that follow experiencing domestic violence. Confusion, fear, anger, and a sense of being trapped are normal responses. You might even find yourself questioning your own actions, blaming yourself. Please know, unequivocally, that you are never responsible for the abusive actions of another.

We recognize the unique challenges faced by survivors of domestic violence. You might be experiencing:

  • Persistent Fear and Anxiety: Even after leaving, the trauma can linger, causing sleepless nights and a constant sense of unease.
  • Emotional Turmoil: Your emotions might feel jumbled, fluctuating between intense anxiety and numbness.
  • Hidden Trauma: You may be concealing the truth about your experience, fearing judgment or disbelief.
  • Shattered Self-Esteem: The critical voice in your head may be telling you that you are damaged and unlovable, making it difficult to trust your own judgment.

At My Denver Therapy, our team of trauma therapists offer a safe and supportive space to heal from the many effects of domestic violence and abuse.

Understanding the needs of domestic violence survivors

Every survivor’s journey is unique. We understand that your needs will vary. Our approach is rooted in:

  • Unconditional Respect and Belief: We listen without judgment, providing a safe space to share your experiences.
  • Prioritizing Safety: Due to the dynamics of power and control, we do not provide couples counseling for relationships with active abuse.
  • Empowering Healing: Our goal is to help you understand your experiences, break free from past patterns, and build a more constructive and adaptive future.

We understand that seeking help can be challenging. We offer:

  • In-Person Therapy: Conveniently located in Denver, Greenwood Village, and Lone Tree, we provide a comfortable and confidential environment.
  • Online Therapy: For those who prefer the flexibility and discretion of online counseling, we offer secure video, phone, and chat sessions. This option is especially helpful for those who are still trying to leave abusive situations, and need discretion.
  • Compassionate Support: Our therapists are dedicated to providing compassionate and empathetic care, ensuring you feel safe and supported throughout your healing journey.

Healing is possible. At My Denver Therapy, we are here to support you on your journey to recovery from emotional abuse, narcissistic abuse, and domestic violence. Contact us today to schedule a consultation. Let us help you reclaim your life and build a future free from abuse.

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 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 over 100 years 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 in person and online. 

Whether you’re an adult, teen, young adult, couple, or family, our inclusive therapist team is built to specialize in clients of all ages, faiths, backgrounds, and life experiences. 

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 and has grown over time, our therapists also provide consultation for other therapists and private practices throughout the Denver Metro area.

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

We know that our clients want to find the best therapists in Denver, so our team includes therapists of different ages with a wide range of 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, schedule, and what you want to work on to help you get started quickly.

We’re out of network for insurance, Tricare, and are unable to take Medicaid or Medicare, but most of our therapists’ rates are lower than the local and national averages for therapy. Also, we don’t charge separate intake or administration fees or charge more for specialized therapy methods like EMDR.

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