PTSD & Trauma Therapy in Colorado Springs

A place to feel safe again—where your story is honored, and healing happens at your pace.

You don’t have to carry it alone.

Our trauma and PTSD therapy offers compassionate, evidence-based support for those who are ready to heal, reconnect, and begin to feel whole again.

What is PTSD/Trauma?

Trauma is not what happened—it’s how it lives in the body and the mind.

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and complex trauma can arise from a wide range of experiences—abuse, violence, loss, neglect, accidents, discrimination, or even high-stress professions. Trauma can impact memory, emotional regulation, relationships, and physical health.

Frequently Asked Questions About PTSD/Trauma Therapy

We know you have lots of questions. Hopefully here are a few answers.

No. You’re always in control. We prioritize trust and emotional safety before trauma processing. You’ll never be pushed to share more than you’re ready for.

Every journey is different. Some people feel relief in a few months; others benefit from longer-term support. We’ll check in regularly to adjust therapy to your needs.

We’ll build tools together for grounding and nervous system regulation before starting any trauma processing. If overwhelm arises, we slow down, shift focus, or pause. Your emotional safety comes first.

Vivus Counseling works with:

  • Adults, teens, and children (10+) affected by trauma
  • Survivors of abuse, neglect, or domestic violence
  • First responders, military personnel, and frontline workers
  • Individuals navigating grief, loss, or life-altering events
  • Clients involved in family court, forensic settings, or high-stress legal processes

Our work goes beyond symptom management. We walk with you toward long-term healing—where your nervous system can finally breathe and your life can feel like yours again.

Clients often experience:

  • Fewer flashbacks, nightmares, or emotional overwhelm
  • Greater emotional regulation and resilience
  • Renewed connection to their body, relationships, and identity
  • Stronger boundaries and increased sense of safety
  • A return to hope, agency, and self-trust
