Embracing the
Courage to Change
Elliant Counseling offers in-person therapy services from our offices in Centennial, Colorado. We specialize in trauma-informed therapy for individuals, couples, and families in the Denver metro, Centennial, Greenwood Village, Highlands Ranch, Aurora, and Denver Tech Center.
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.
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 — learning to trust yourself again
Grief and loss — finding steadiness in what’s changed
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.
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
Uses eye position and body awareness to reach the deeper layers of trauma your mind can’t always access through words alone.
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)
If you’re struggling in your relationship, EFT helps you understand your emotional patterns and create more secure, connected bonds.
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.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Helps you notice unhelpful thought patterns and replace them with beliefs and actions that actually serve you.
