Mindfulness-Based Counseling
You are brave.
At Elliant Counseling in Centennial, we help you make sense of what’s been too heavy to carry.
Maybe you’ve tried therapy before and still feel stuck…
Our trauma-informed team uses approaches like EMDR, IFS, and somatic therapy to help you reconnect with your body, process what’s happened, and move forward with strength and self-trust.
Healing takes courage but you don’t have to do it alone.
Your Path to Healing
Therapy works best when it meets you where you are. Each approach below helps you process, regulate, and reconnect in a different way so you can find what feels right for you.
Evidence-based Specialties
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
Helps your mind and body release the emotional charge of painful memories, so they stop taking up so much space.
Brainspotting
Helps reach deeper layers of trauma, ones your mind can’t always access through words alone, through eye position and body awareness .
Somatic Experiencing
Helps you tune into your body’s signals, unwind tension, and rebuild a sense of calm and safety from the inside out.
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
Helps you understand your emotional patterns and create more secure, connected bonds that lead to more fulfilling relationships.
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
Helps you explore and heal the parts of yourself that carry pain, shame, or protection so you can feel more whole and at peace.
Behavioral Therapies (CBT and DBT)
Helps you notice unhelpful thought patterns and replace them with beliefs and actions that actually serve you.
When life feels heavier than it should.
At Elliant, we help you understand what’s happening beneath the surface and work through it safely. You don’t have to prove your pain or minimize what you’ve been through. We help with:
Trauma and complex PTSD — when the past still shapes the present
Anxiety and hypervigilance — never being able to truly rest
Relationship and attachment wounds — repeating old patterns that hurt
Betrayal and addiction recovery — rebuild trust in yourself and your relationships
Grief and loss — finding steadiness through the process
Our trauma-informed team uses EMDR, IFS, and somatic therapy to help you heal deeply and move forward with more ease.
Why Choose Elliant Counseling?
If talk therapy hasn’t gotten you where you hoped, you’re not alone.
Sometimes, insight isn’t enough.
Your body needs to heal too.
At Elliant Counseling, our somatic, trauma-informed approach helps you process what’s stuck in both mind and body, so change feels real, not forced.
Therapy at Elliant is about learning to feel safe, steady, and whole again on every level.
Start healing today.
