THERAPY FOR ANXIETY AND TRAUMA THAT HELPS YOU

be the main character in your life again.

There’s so much you’d like to do in your life, if you could only catch a break or catch your breath. For years, you’ve been abandoning your own needs to keep the peace. You needed to stay small to feel safe, to get by. Now you’re exhausted and overwhelmed; you wish you could feel present, grounded, and connected to yourself again, but don’t even know where to start.

Trauma and anxiety therapy with me is a space to for us to get underneath the patterns you’ve discovered yourself and work through the blocks, understanding holistically how core wounds show up through body, belief, and behavior. Through holistic EMDR, somatic, and trauma therapy, we’ll focus on recovery at the root so you can move through your life with resilience, clarity, confidence, and self-trust.

Trauma therapy in Boulder, CO might be right for you if…

  • You’ve done a lot of personal growth work (reading books, listening to podcasts, meditating) but something still feels blocked.

  • You keep abandoning yourself through work, distractions, or transgressing your own boundaries just to keep the peace.

  • You spend tons of energy worrying about what everyone else thinks, but you feel guilty even at the thought of putting yourself first.

  • Something that happened in your past is making it hard to feel well in the present.

  • You feel overwhelmed by big life changes; the old ways of doing things are breaking down but the thought of building new ones is kind of terrifying.

Meet Alexa Owen, MSW, SWC

Holistic Trauma Therapist in Boulder, CO

Virtual Therapy Services available throughout Colorado

Hi, I’m Alexa. I help thoughtful adults recover from anxiety and trauma so they can feel at home in their bodies, authentic in their relationships, and anchored in self trust.

I know what it’s like to be highly sensitive, conscientious, and invested in personal growth but gripped by guilt or fear when you start claiming your needs, wants, and gifts. That lived understanding shapes how I show up in the therapy room, with presence, care, curiosity, and depth.

Shedding old ways of being can feel awkward, disorienting, and sometimes even wrong if we were taught that our worth was contingent upon performing in ways that were palatable for others. I believe in therapy that’s steady, supportive, and brave so that you have the opportunity to untangle what’s kept you knotted up inside and get to a place where you are living your life.

What if you could…

Put yourself first sometimes without feeling terrible about it? Feel at ease instead of constantly on edge? Stop needing everyone else’s opinion before making a decision? Have the freedom to respond differently?

We can work through your goals step by step in a safe, holistic way—even if you don’t know where to begin. Let’s give it a try together.

Here’s how to get started:

  1. Book a Free Intro Call. You can contact me here so you can share more about what you’re seeking in therapy and I can answer questions about getting started.This is a free 15-minute call that gives us a chance to get to know each other and make sure that you feel comfortable moving forward.

  2. Schedule the First Session. At the end of the call, we’ll go over logistics and schedule a day and time that works for your weekly session if we choose to move forward together.

  3. Start Healing. Weekly sessions help create a strong foundation for healing and growth. We’ll work together to understand some of the thoughts, beliefs, and experiences that are keeping you feeling stuck and use trauma-informed somatic, holistic therapy to help you come home to yourself again.

Frequently Asked Questions

Still have questions? Contact me here so I can get you the clarification or info you need.

  • The fee is $165 per 50-minute session.

  • Yes—my office is located in central Boulder and we can meet in person there. I am typically in the office Tuesdays and Thursdays. There is free parking available on site. I also offer telehealth appointments to clients throughout Colorado Monday—Friday.

  • Please do reach out via my contact form, which you can access here!

  • I meet with clients weekly for 50-minute sessions. I ask new clients to commit to weekly sessions of therapy to establish care and build a solid foundation for the therapeutic work. After the first 3 months, we can discuss shifting to biweekly therapy appointments if you are more in “maintenance” mode. Most clients opt to meet weekly for the duration of care.

  • The first session is an “intake” appointment. We will go over your intake paperwork and I’ll ask you to share more about your background and present day life. We’ll also focus on your goals for treatment. This often carries over for the first couple of sessions — so don’t worry if we don’t get to your whole life story in the first one!

  • Clients who come to therapy with a single, focused issue typically attend weekly sessions for 3-6 months. For more complex or ongoing challenges, therapy can warrant closer to 8-24 months. Some people use therapy as a regular support for longer than that. We will check in regularly about your progress and how you are feeling about therapy so that we can figure out the best course for you.

Growing Through Grief: When Loss Changes You

Grief can follow the death of someone you love. It can also follow divorce, illness, estrangement, miscarriage, career loss, identity shifts, or changes you didn’t choose. Sometimes grief arrives suddenly. Sometimes it unfolds slowly, in quiet waves.

However it shows up, grief has a way of changing the landscape of your inner world.

This article offers a grounded look at what grief really is, why it can feel so destabilizing, and how therapy can help when you’re moving through loss.

Anxiety: Why You’re Feeling This Way (And What Can Help)

Even positive things—new jobs, moves, parenthood, creative work—can overwhelm a nervous system that hasn’t had enough support or rest.

Anxiety often develops not because you’re doing something wrong, but because you’ve been coping for a long time without enough space to recover.

EMDR Therapy in Colorado: What It Is, How It Works, and Common Misconceptions

If you’re looking for EMDR therapy in Colorado, there’s a good chance you’ve already done a lot of work on yourself. Maybe you understand why you feel the way you do—but your body hasn’t quite caught up. Certain memories still hijack your nervous system. Anxiety or shame shows up faster than logic. Or no matter how much insight you gain, something still feels stuck.

EMDR therapy was designed for exactly this kind of healing.
