The ways we’ve learned to survive don’t always help us live.

Maybe you can’t name exactly what’s wrong, but you know you don’t want to keep feeling this way.

Maybe life has just been feeling hard lately. There are things you want to change but seem unable to. Patterns you keep repeating that you’ve sworn off forever.

You don’t need to have everything figured out before coming to therapy.

That’s kinda the point ; )

Hi, I’m Chaucee, a Trauma Therapist in Colorado.

Therapy with me is relational, collaborative, and grounded in genuine human connection with room for honesty, curiosity, and humor.

Together, we’ll look beyond the symptoms to understand the experiences, patterns, and beliefs that shaped them. From there, we’ll build practical tools, strengthen self-trust, and help you create a life that feels more grounded, meaningful, and authentically yours.

Areas I Commonly Support

People come to therapy for many different reasons. Here are some of the concerns I commonly support.

  • Complex trauma often develops from repeated experiences where safety, connection, or trust were disrupted over time. It can show up as feeling constantly on edge, emotionally shut down, disconnected from yourself, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve you. Therapy can help you better understand how these experiences continue to shape your life while creating new ways of relating to yourself, others, and the world around you.

  • Anxiety isn’t always panic attacks. Sometimes it looks like replaying conversations, expecting the worst, struggling to relax, or feeling like your mind never gets a break. Together, we’ll explore what may be driving your anxiety while building practical tools to help you feel more grounded, present, and confident in trusting yourself.

  • Depression can leave you feeling emotionally exhausted, disconnected, or like you’ve lost the version of yourself you used to know. Burnout can have a similar effect, making it difficult to find motivation or experience joy. Therapy provides space to understand what’s contributing to these feelings while helping you reconnect with what matters most to you.

  • Many men have been taught to push through, stay strong, or keep difficult emotions to themselves. Therapy offers a space to talk openly, develop healthier ways of coping, and navigate life’s challenges without judgment.

  • Relationships often reflect the ways we’ve learned to protect ourselves. Whether you struggle with people-pleasing, boundaries, conflict, trust, or feeling disconnected from others, therapy can help you understand these patterns with curiosity rather than judgment while creating healthier ways of connecting.

  • If your faith or religious upbringing left you carrying shame, fear, or confusion, therapy can provide space to process those experiences, explore your beliefs, and reconnect with your values—whatever that looks like for you.

  • Grief comes in many forms—not just after the death of someone we love. You may be grieving a relationship, a version of yourself, your health, or a life you expected to have. Therapy offers space to honor your grief, make sense of what you’re carrying, and find ways to move forward without leaving your experiences behind.

  • Recovery isn’t about perfection. Whether you’re questioning your relationship with substances, maintaining long-term recovery, or simply wanting to understand your patterns more deeply, therapy offers a space free from shame or judgment. My approach is grounded in harm reduction and recognizes that healing looks different for everyone.

My goal is to understand your unique experiences while recognizing the broader systems and contexts that shape them.

FAQs

  • Your first session is an opportunity for us to get to know one another.

We move at a pace that feels comfortable and safe for you.

Therapy for Complex Trauma & C-PTSD

Trauma doesn’t always stay in the past.

Sometimes it shows up as anxiety, people-pleasing, emotional overwhelm, difficulty trusting others, feeling constantly on edge, or struggling to believe you’re enough.

You may know exactly what happened, or you may simply recognize that something doesn’t feel right.

Together, we’ll explore how your experiences have shaped the way you see yourself, others, and the world around you. We’ll move at a pace that feels safe and supportive while building tools to help you feel more grounded, empowered, and connected to yourself.

You may benefit from trauma therapy if you:

  • Feel stuck in survival mode

  • Struggle with emotional regulation

  • Experience anxiety, panic, or hypervigilance

Therapy for Depression

Depression can make even the smallest tasks feel overwhelming.

You may feel exhausted, disconnected, numb, hopeless, or like you’re simply going through the motions. Sometimes depression shows up quietly—making it harder to enjoy things you once loved or connect with the people who matter most.

Therapy provides a space to understand what’s contributing to your depression, develop healthier coping strategies, and reconnect with the parts of yourself that may feel distant right now.

You may benefit from therapy if you:

  • Feel emotionally numb or disconnected

  • Have lost interest in activities you once enjoyed

  • Struggle with motivation or energy

  • Experience feelings of hopelessness or worthlessness

  • Feel isolated or withdrawn from others

  • Want support navigating a difficult season of life

Therapy for Anxiety

Anxiety has a way of convincing us that everything is urgent.

Your mind is constantly racing. You’re overthinking conversations from three years ago at 2am. You’re preparing for worst-case scenarios that haven’t happened. Rest feels impossible because your brain refuses to shut off.

It’s exhausting.

Together, we’ll identify what’s fueling your anxiety, strengthen your coping tools, and help your nervous system find a little more breathing room.

You may benefit from therapy if you:

  • Constantly worry or overthink

  • Feel overwhelmed by everyday responsibilities

  • Have difficulty relaxing or slowing down

  • Experience panic attacks or intense anxiety

  • Struggle with perfectionism

  • Feel stuck in cycles of self-doubt
