Trauma, PTSD & Stress Therapy Colorado Springs


>You’re Not Present

Today was yet another day of feeling numb and detached. You’re just going through the motions. You have nothing to give to your partner, your friends, or any relationship, really. It’s like you are on a hamster wheel with goals and dreams but feeling stuck and unable to make any of them happen. 


>You’re Shut Down

Some days, it feels like the only things you do are go to work, eat, sleep, and doomscroll. You see other people experiencing emotions, engaging with their lives, having adventures, and making things happen. How do they do that? You just feel so shut down and can’t even imagine where to start when it comes to planning and taking the next step so you can make something happen for yourself. 


>Not Caring for Yourself

People say to eat three times a day, but your eating is so irregular sometimes. You aren’t even aware when you are hungry or it’s time to eat. Even your relationship with time is distorted. 


>You’re Relationships Aren’t Fulfilling

Your relationships aren’t life-giving; in fact, you notice you spend time with people you don’t even like. But you don’t know how to change it or find people you really want to be around. Because, deep down, you do want close friends and community. 

It’s been this way for a while, but something has to change. You’ve tried talk therapy before, but it just left you feeling more broken. You know there are things in your past that are extremely painful, things you don’t even want to think about, and you work so hard to move on, only to feel stuck and overwhelmed.

I’m Sarra Everett, M.S., L.P.C

a trauma and anxiety specialist who helps adults who are struggling with feeling stuck and frozen, and want to feel better in their bodies and about their day-to-day life.

>Expand Your Life And Experiences

If you are open-minded and want to try something new, you are in the right place. Through therapy, you will learn how to get out of your head and all the intellectualization that you’ve been doing to survive and get back into your body and your heart. Through counseling, you can stop living narrowly and start experiencing more awareness and presence. 


>Imagine gaining greater awareness…

and also acceptance of yourself, instead of fixating on the why…how much more freedom that could bring you in your life. I am here to help you notice when you need rest, sleep, and to eat before you crash or get to overwhelmed. You will learn to tune into your body’s cues and respond helpfully. 


>How I’ll Work With You

I work with my clients weekly because the outcomes are better for you with regular support, resources, and interventions. I use Somatic Experiencing as well as draw from other approaches such as DBT, CBT and Humanistic psychology. Many clients begin to see little shifts in their life within the first few months and more noticeable changes within 6 months. 


>Ready?

If you are ready to start making changes, even though it may seem impossible, counseling can help you gain agency and be empowered to make decisions and take action. Ultimately, you’re ready to live your life with more intention and more consciousness.
