Healing from childhood and spiritual trauma starts here.

Compassionate Trauma-Informed Counseling in Denver, CO

You’ve done everything you were ‘supposed’ to do—and still feel disconnected.

Healing Is Possible. And You Don’t Have to Do It Alone.

At Self Aligned Therapy, I help adults untangle the impact of early emotional wounds, trauma, and long-held patterns that no longer serve them. Whether you struggle with anxiety, people-pleasing, boundaries, or feeling stuck in survival mode—I offer therapy that’s grounded, gentle, and real.

I believe that healing doesn’t mean fixing yourself—it means returning to the version of you that’s been there all along.

Maybe you feel...

• Emotionally overwhelmed, anxious, or depressed

• Like you’re always the caretaker, never the cared-for

• Disconnected from your needs, your body, or your truth

• Stuck in relationship patterns that echo your past

• Tired of performing, pleasing, or pretending you’re fine

Maybe you’ve always been the helper, the peacekeeper, or the one who “had it all together.” But inside, you feel stuck—emotionally drained, overwhelmed, or unsure of who you really are underneath the roles you’ve had to play.

There is another way.

Hi, I’m Sandy Brown, and I can help.

I specialize in helping adults heal from:

  • Complex trauma

  • Religious or spiritual abuse

  • Nervous system dysregulation (fight, flight, freeze, or fawn responses)

  • Emotional numbness or chronic overfunctioning

You're not broken—you adapted to survive. Together, we’ll gently reconnect you to your body, your voice, and your self.

I specialize in working with adults who are healing from childhood wounds, relational trauma, and deep patterns of self-abandonment. I use a relational, trauma-informed approach that supports you in rebuilding trust with yourself, learning to set boundaries, and feeling more at home in your own skin.

My clients often leave therapy feeling more self-aware, confident, emotionally connected, and capable of creating relationships that truly support them.

You don’t have to keep carrying what was never yours to hold.

Healing is possible and it starts by reconnecting with yourself.
