Counseling for Trauma


Online Therapy in Colorado

Trauma can leave lasting effects on how you feel, think, and relate to others. You may struggle with anxiety, emotional numbness, intrusive memories, or feeling disconnected from yourself or the people around you. Trauma doesn’t always come from a single dramatic event—it can also develop over time through repeated experiences of stress, loss, neglect, or emotional harm.

I’m David Rothman, LPC, and I provide online trauma therapy for individuals throughout Colorado. I work with people who want to feel safer in their bodies, more present in their lives, and less defined by past experiences.

When Trauma Still Feels Present

Trauma can keep the nervous system stuck in survival mode. You may feel constantly on edge, easily overwhelmed, or emotionally shut down. Certain situations, relationships, or memories might trigger strong reactions that feel out of proportion but are difficult to control.

These responses are not signs of weakness—they are common trauma responses, and they can change with the right support.

How Trauma Therapy Can Help

Trauma therapy focuses on helping your mind and body process overwhelming experiences so they no longer dominate your present. In our work together, I help clients:

  • Reduce anxiety, hypervigilance, and emotional reactivity

  • Feel more grounded and present in daily life

  • Process traumatic memories at a manageable pace

  • Reconnect with emotions and a sense of self

  • Improve relationships and emotional regulation

  • Address patterns such as avoidance, shutdown, or self-blame

Therapy is not about reliving everything that happened—it’s about helping you regain a sense of safety and control.

Common Trauma Symptoms

Trauma can show up in many ways. You may benefit from trauma therapy if you experience:

  • Intrusive memories, flashbacks, or nightmares

  • Anxiety, panic, or chronic stress

  • Emotional numbness or disconnection

  • Difficulty trusting others or feeling close

  • Strong reactions to reminders of past events

  • Shame, guilt, or persistent self-criticism

  • Avoidance of people, places, or emotions

A Safe, Trauma-Informed Approach

I take a trauma-informed, attachment-based approach that prioritizes safety, choice, and collaboration. Therapy moves at a pace that respects your boundaries and nervous system. My goal is to create a space where you feel supported, understood, and in control of the process.

Through telehealth therapy in Colorado, trauma treatment is accessible from the comfort of your own space.
