Denver trauma therapist | Summit County, CO trauma therapist

 

My name Is Hannah Buzzo and I am a trauma therapist in Denver and Frisco, CO.

What is trauma?

Trauma is any event that creates an intense emotional response for us. Trauma can result from extreme events like physical, sexual or emotional abuse, natural disasters, or war. In addition, trauma can also result from experiences like witnessing a distressing event, mental health disorders, addiction, injuries, or any event that creates a disturbance in our ability to feel physically or emotionally safe or in control.

How does trauma affect us?

When we experience trauma, our systems become overwhelmed and aren’t able to process what is happening to us. This can lead to what we know as “trauma responses”, which can show up as a variety of difficult patterns, behaviors, and symptoms. Common examples look like shutting down, feeling numb, mood swings, sadness, loneliness, isolation, anger, panic, feelings of being “on edge”, and dissociation. These responses and symptoms can have a negative impact on your life and lead to other issues like depression, anxiety, addiction and substance use, and difficulty in your relationships.

Most people experience trauma at some point, but it doesn’t have to define you.

Our approach to trauma

Our goal as trauma therapists in Denver and Frisco, CO is not to erase memories, or help you forget your past. Rather, our goal is to help you work through the difficult feelings so the symptoms of trauma and emotional responses are lessened to a point where you can engage more fully in your life. We help you get to the root of your trauma, so you can reprocess these painful experiences and move towards more joy and presence in your daily life.

At Alchemy Therapy & Wellness, we use a combination of traditional and alternative approaches to treat trauma, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), attachment trauma, and symptoms of trauma. I implement evidence based approaches such as attachment therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP), which are proven to show positive results for treating trauma and PTSD.

 
 

  • If you’ve experienced trauma and struggle with uncomfortable physical symptoms like difficulty sleeping or are easy to startle, or experience emotional or relational difficulties like mood swings, irritability, isolation, trouble connecting or avoidance, trauma therapy may be helpful.

  • The best therapy for trauma depends on the person, and is tailored for each client’s individual needs and preferences. At Alchemy Therapy & Wellness, I use evidence-based and cutting edge modalities like EMDR and Ketamine-Assisted Therapy to not just focus on symptom reduction but rather, help you get to the root of your trauma so you can live a happier life.

  • There are many causes of trauma, including things like abuse, assault, attachment trauma, accidents, injuries, or medical issues, among many others. However, the trauma response is different than the event itself. Some examples of common trauma responses, which can be addressed in trauma therapy include:

    Depression

    Anxiety

    Panic

    Isolation

    Low self-esteem

    Problems in your relationships

    Flashbacks

    Nightmares

    Lack of motivation or interest

    Anger

    Lack of focus

    Difficulty sleeping

    ​Feeling “on edge”

    Feeling numb

  • Trauma therapy is a specialized type of treatment and trauma-focused therapists have completed specialized training to understand how trauma impacts the body, brain, and mental health of an individual who has experienced trauma.

    As a trauma therapist in Denver and Summit County, CO, I have completed several trainings specifically on trauma treatment, and fully understand how to treat the complexity of trauma.
