Trauma-Informed Counseling in Arvada, CO | What It Really Means — AVOS Counseling Center
Most therapy teaches you to manage symptoms. Trauma-informed counseling goes deeper — straight to the root of what's keeping you stuck.
At AVOS Counseling Center in Arvada, CO, Erica Bonham, MA, LPC, and her team take a trauma-informed approach to counseling that starts with one core belief: the only way out is through. That means actually getting to the undigested experiences, unresolved grief, and generational patterns that shape how you move through the world — not just coping strategies that paper over them.
Trauma-informed care isn't a single technique. It's a philosophy. It means you drive the treatment. Your autonomy, your pace, your choices. The therapist holds space while you lead. That's the co-collaborative model AVOS practices with every client.
Their work draws on Somatic and Attachment-Focused EMDR Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and mindfulness practices — modalities that work with both the mind and body. Because trauma lives in the nervous system, not just in memory. Even the quiet accumulation of "little t" traumas — the ones that don't make the list of "big" events — can send your nervous system into patterns of shutdown, hypervigilance, or disconnection that affect everything: your relationships, your sleep, your sense of self.
This approach honors both/and thinking. Your pain is real AND you can find your way through it. The healing work at AVOS holds space for attachment wounds, unconscious shadow material, religious trauma, and the ways dominant cultural values — perfectionism, urgency, the pressure to be endlessly productive — leave a mark on who you think you're allowed to be.
AVOS offers individual counseling for adolescents and adults, couples therapy, and family sessions. They also offer EMDR therapy and ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) for clients who need a different pathway into the work.
