Hi, I’m Denise Farris, LCSW, and I provide trauma-informed psychotherapy to adults across Colorado and Texas. I meet clients exactly where they are and work collaboratively to build practical skills that support lasting change—whether you’re coping with trauma, a medical condition, or a major life transition.

My background as a first responder gives me a deep understanding of the unique stressors faced by first responders, veterans, and active-duty service members. I’m experienced in addressing PTSD and the cultural realities of these communities, and I bring sensitive, realistic strategies to support recovery and resilience.

My style is honest and direct, delivered with care—and when appropriate, a bit of light humor to ease hard work. I combine evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) with specialized protocols like Internal Family Systems (IFS) and EMDR to tailor treatment to each person’s needs.

Whether you’re navigating trauma recovery, chronic illness, or a major life change, Denise works collaboratively to create a personalized treatment plan that honors your strengths and goals. She is committed to helping clients cultivate resilience, restore balance, and move forward with greater clarity and purpose. Together we’ll create a personalized plan that honors your strengths and goals, helping you restore balance, build resilience, and move forward with greater clarity and purpose. If you’re ready to explore change, I’ll meet you where you are and support you through the next steps.
