Illuminate the Path Forward
Trauma-Informed Therapy in Colorado
You don't have to navigate the dark alone. We're here to guide you toward light, hope, and transformation through the difficult seasons of life.
Healing through play.
Growing through connection.
Living in light.
At Illuminate Play Therapy & Counseling, we believe therapy should meet you where you are - not ask you to fit into a one-size-fits-all approach. We support children, teens, adults, couples and families navigating trauma, neurodivergence, relationships, life transitions and emotional challenges. Through play, EMDR, somatic and nervous-system work, expressive approaches and meaningful connection, our therapists create space for healing in ways that fit how you process best.
Our Therapy Specialties
-
Play Therapy
A gentle, developmentally appropriate approach that gives children space to communicate, explore emotions, process experiences and build connection through their natural language - play. Our play therapists use creative and expressive approaches tailored to each child’s needs.
-
Trauma Therapy
Trauma can affect more than our thoughts - it can shape the nervous system, relationships, emotions and sense of safety. Our clinicians integrate EMDR, somatic and nervous-system approaches, play and expressive therapies to help children, teens and adults process difficult experiences and move toward healing.
-
Somatic Therapy
Healing doesn’t happen through words alone. Somatic and nervous-system approaches help clients notice what is happening in the body, build regulation and reconnect with a greater sense of safety. These approaches can be helpful for trauma, overwhelm, stress and neurodivergent nervous systems.
-
ADHD + Neurodivergence
Therapy doesn’t have to look or feel the same for every brain. We offer neurodivergent-affirming support for ADHD, autism, sensory needs, emotional regulation and the experience of navigating a world that isn’t always designed for the way you think, feel and process.
-
Christian Counseling
A safe harbor for healing and growth through faith. Whether you're carrying grief, anxiety, trauma, or simply the weight of a difficult season, you don't have to walk it alone — and you don't have to leave your faith at the door.
-
Clinical Supervision + Consultation
Support for the therapists who support others. Illuminate offers clinical supervision, case consultation, internship opportunities and professional development grounded in thoughtful, relational and trauma-informed practice.
Light after darkness.
Hope after hardship.
