PTSD Treatment in Denver, CO
Trauma-Informed Psychiatric Care for Healing, Safety and Stability
Living with trauma can affect how you feel in your body, how you sleep, how safe the world feels, and how you connect with others. Whether your experience involved a single event or prolonged stress, PTSD can shape emotional, physical, and cognitive well-being in lasting ways.
At The Inner Mosaic Psychiatry in Cherry Creek, we offer grounding, trauma-informed psychiatric care for adults living with PTSD. Care is collaborative, respectful, and always guided by your comfort level—so you can feel safer, steadier, and more supported over time.
You are in control of your care, every step of the way.
Our Trauma-Informed Evaluation Process
Your story is yours—and you control how much you share. We never push you to revisit details you're not ready to discuss.
Our approach includes:
Gentle exploration of current symptoms
Understanding triggers and emotional patterns
Assessing sleep, anxiety, mood, and safety
Identifying your strengths and existing coping strategies
Discussing how trauma intersects with ADHD, depression, or anxiety
We move slowly, thoughtfully, and collaboratively—always at a pace that feels safe for you.

PTSD symptoms vary widely. You may experience:
All of these are understandable responses to overwhelming experiences. Your nervous system is doing what it learned to do to protect you.
Treatment Options for PTSD
When it comes to creating a solution that works, teamwork is key.
You and your provider will decide together what makes sense for your situation.
And treatment is never one-size-fits-all.
We help create customized solutions and plans that are adjustable and work with your healing journey.
-
Certain medications can help regulate mood, sleep, hyperarousal, and anxiety. We tailor treatment based on your comfort and goals—and medication is always optional, not assumed.
-
Sleep disruptions—including nightmares, night panic, and trauma-related awakenings—are extremely common with PTSD. We help identify what's contributing and provide grounding strategies that support both rest and emotional safety.
-
PTSD can often overlap with ADHD or anxiety. And when these conditions coexist, treating one without acknowledging the others rarely works. We create a plan that considers the full picture.
-
We work with you on emotional safety and regulation before exploring deeper layers of trauma. This includes attention to both mind and body—because trauma lives in the nervous system, not just in memory.
-
If you're working with a therapist, we're happy to collaborate to ensure your care is integrated and consistent.
Ongoing Care & Long-Term Support
Healing from trauma is not a one-time process. Ongoing care allows us to:
Monitor how symptoms change over time
Adjust treatment as stressors or life circumstances shift
Support long-term stability and resilience
Care is steady, responsive, and focused on building safety and trust—both internally and in daily life.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
No. We focus on your current symptoms and how they affect your wellbeing. You never have to share details you're not ready to discuss.
-
Medication can help stabilize mood, reduce hyperarousal, and support sleep. It's one tool among many, and we'll discuss whether it makes sense for you.
-
Trauma is the experience; PTSD is a set of symptoms that may follow. Not everyone who experiences trauma develops PTSD, and healing is possible either way.
-
That's okay. Many people aren't sure, especially if their trauma was chronic or complex rather than a single event. An evaluation can help clarify what you're experiencing.
-
Yes. If you have a therapist, we're happy to coordinate care. If you're looking for one, we can help you find a good fit.
