FIND HEALING IN YOUR LIFE. RECONNECT WITH YOURSELF ALONG THE WAY
Trauma informed therapy for adults & teens in Denver, Colorado & online across Florida
Do these sound familiar?
You lie awake at night with flashes of the past. You want to enjoy the beautiful moments in life and not wonder when the other shoe is going to drop. Your body feels like a stranger, and you just want to feel safe again. You feel alone and wonder if others truly understand you. You want to let go of the pain and heal. Take a deep breath, you are here.
The voice in your head is quick to tell you all the things you did wrong. You question if you made the right choices, never feeling secure in your thoughts. You have constant worries of the future and second guess everything. Your body is on high alert, overwhelmed, and tense. You wonder if you will ever feel peaceful again. Nothing you do brings you the calmness you are searching for.
You wake up, get ready for the day ahead of you, and put on the mask that shows the world that you are invincible. But on the inside, you never feel good enough. It’s hard to give self praise, kindness, and compassion. You compare yourself to others and feel that you are constantly judged. You begin to wonder how can anyone love you... when you don’t love yourself?
If any of these resonate with you, I’m glad you made it here. We all go through events in our life that may leave some scars. I am here to support you as you go through these hardships and help you realize that you have the power within to overcome and heal.
Hi! I’m Svetlana (Lana).
You have tried therapy in the past and it just didn't feel right. Maybe it wasn't the right time or maybe you didn't feel heard. Or perhaps, this is the first time you are entering your therapy journey. Whichever path you may be on, you are wishing for a genuine connection with a therapist. You are looking for someone who is authentic, radiates a light energy, and provides a calm presence.
You want to be challenged and guided down paths that once felt frightening. You want to feel safe as you share your most vulnerable self. You are needing someone who will keep you grounded through life’s up’s and down’s, who will support you, and celebrate your strengths. I am so thrilled we found each other!
Grab a cup of tea or coffee, get comfy, & let’s get started!
Hi! I’m Mishka.
I am a certified therapy dog! I love receiving attention and greeting clients when they come for their counseling sessions. I also loovvveee treats, so if you want to sneak me some extras, I don’t mind! With your permission, I might lean into you, give you my paw, sit at your feet, or jump up next to you and put my head on your lap.
I have a light and positive energy that can make opening up about serious and personal issues feel easier. My favorite part of the day is when I get to see clients! When I am not in the office, I love to run around, play with toys, make new friends, and say hi to everyone around me.
I believe therapy should be simple and easy to get started.
Schedule a free, no-obligation 15 minute phone consultation! This is a chance for us both get to know one another and see if we are a good fit based on your therapy needs. Additionally, a time for myself to help answer any questions you may have about therapy or expectations.
We start with weekly sessions. As we move towards your goals, we can decrease that frequency. I take extra care to make sure you are feeling comfortable, safe, and respected throughout our time together. We will build a foundation of coping tools and resources, then take the time to process at your own pace.
Though I may never be able to take away the wounds, together we can help reduce the sting. You will be able to truly heal from your trauma, feel that you can handle and manage your anxiety, and believe in yourself again. Just because life has been like this for some time, does not mean it needs to continue!
