We are all recovering.
No matter what from, we all have experiences or habits we struggle with and if you are seeking a way to change, you are in the right place. My practice offers treatment focused on helping you be effective in getting the experience you truly want out of your life. If you are a human, you have likely found yourself relying on external things to regulate your internal world. We scroll, drink, smoke, game, shop, etc. as ways to distract ourselves from the stress we face in an increasingly complex world. Healing means learning to cope, but more importantly it means learning to connect with what motivates, inspires, and secures you.
It is important to me to use the most effective interventions backed by evidence from behavioral health research and neuroscience. I offer EMDR therapy and other modalities focused on “re-calibrating” our responses to stress in order to support people who want to change habits that are keeping them from connecting to more positive opportunities around them.
You deserve a life you don't need to escape from.
EMDR & Trauma Therapy in Denver, CO
Loneliness is the fastest growing threat to our wellness. We may have a constant source of contact to others in our pockets at all times, but we rarely talk about how alone we might feel. Stress, anxiety, depression, and shame - to name just a few- interfere with our ability to connection with goals, loved ones, and communities.
LEARN TO RECONNECT.
About
Britney
Peterson
I've been practicing psychotherapy for over ten years. I started in community mental health, working with children, teens, and families navigating severe trauma in high-risk communities, then moved into supporting adults in the criminal justice system dealing with addiction and complex trauma.
What I found across every population is the same thing: people are resilient. They have what it takes to thrive — they're just often derailed by the daily work of surviving. Healing comes down to building a healthier relationship with yourself and the world around you.
I'm not a soft therapist. My strengths are meeting people on an equal playing field and giving honest, compassionate feedback. I believe I should be working myself out of a job — which means you should see real changes in your life, not just feel better for an hour.
I hold a Master's in Counseling Psychology from Santa Clara University and licenses in Marriage and Family Therapy and Addiction Counseling. My approach draws on polyvagal theory, Internal Family Systems, and cognitive behavioral interventions. I'm also a Registered Yoga Teacher, which allows me to incorporate somatic work into sessions — and yoga classes are coming to the practice soon.
