Hi, I’m Naomi, a trauma therapist in Colorado. I’m certified in EMDR and love incorporating Internal Family Systems, somatic, attachment and nervous system work into sessions. My pronouns are she/her/hers. I’ve been providing therapy for over 20 years and I know what it’s like to be on the other side. I’ve experienced how EMDR can help with past traumas, heal attachment wounds, infidelity, parenting and more. I’ve worked with my own parts through IFS, somatic and nervous system work and I’d love to help you.
Our journey to a happier, more meaningful life begins with the simple hope that things can get better and it’s powered by the courage to take that first step. I’m here to walk that path alongside you with compassion, nurture and even laughter.
If you’ve been laying awake at night and ruminating about things such as social interactions, parenting, boundary setting, imposter syndrome, relationships, trauma or incidents in your past, worries about the future, or what you have said or done, relationship patterns, pondering a huge decision, wondering why you people please or go into freeze all the time, I would love to help!
If everyone around you sees a high functioning person who is doing all of the self care, yoga, meditation, exercising, socializing and yet inside you’re feeling exhausted, frustrated, anxious, depressed or keep doing things in ways you would like to change, I’ve got you. Together we can uncover the why and start working towards the changes you want to make.
Our work will go beyond talking about problems to the roots of where it all started to help you heal from trauma and transform anxiety, intrusive thoughts, relationship struggles, parenting, insomnia, perfectionism, betrayal trauma, and the lasting effects of difficult life experiences.
Plus, if you’ve landed here, chances are you’ve already tried really hard and tried a lot of different things.
You’ve read the books.
You’ve listened to the podcasts.
You’ve practiced mindfulness.
You’ve journaled.
You’ve tried to think more positively and reframe your experiences.
Even gone to therapy.
You now have all of the insight but can’t translate that into showing up differently or feeling differently.
If any of that sounds familiar, we should talk.
Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, caring, high-functioning adults who quietly carry more than most people realize.
You might struggle with:
Anxiety or constant overthinking
Trauma or PTSD
Intrusive thoughts
Insomnia or feeling “tired but wired”
Relationship challenges and attachment wounds
Betrayal trauma or infidelity
Parenting stress
People pleasing and difficulty saying no
Perfectionism
Emotional neglect or childhood wounds
Depression
Feeling disconnected from yourself
A nervous system that always seems “on”
Often there isn’t one single event that explains why you feel this way. Sometimes it’s years of adapting.
Years of being the helper.
The peacemaker.
The responsible one.
The one who never wanted to be “too much.”
Therapy helps us understand those adaptations with compassion.
My Approach
I don’t believe you’re broken.
I believe your mind and body adapted in incredibly intelligent ways to help you survive.
Together we’ll get curious about those adaptations instead of fighting them.
I often tell clients that healing isn’t about becoming someone different.
It’s about helping your nervous system recognize that you no longer have to live as if the past is still happening.
My work integrates:
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
Somatic Therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy
Nervous System Regulation and Polyvagal-informed approaches
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Ego State Therapy
Mindfulness
Every treatment plan is tailored to you. There isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach because every nervous system holds a different story.
I am an inclusive, social justice oriented and LGBTQ2IA+ affirming Colorado therapist. I moved to Colorado for graduate school and like many others, fell in love with the mountains and sunshine. I love to hike and garden and volunteer with animals and read a good book with some frothy matcha.
I graduated with my Masters in Clinical Social Work with a focus on Families and Adults and Certification in Trauma from the University of Denver. My work with veterans in the outpatient mental health clinic at the VA hospital along with my prior work with women who have experienced intimate partner violence have shown me how the work we do in therapy can bring someone from a place of surviving to a joy filled life.
I love to support clients by unlocking the barriers that may be getting in the way of living the life they want by using a variety of modalities. I am a certified Eye Movement Densensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) provider who also adores Internal Family Systems (IFS), Somatic Work, Nervous System Informed Trauma Therapy, and practice from Attachment and Neurobiological lenses. I also utilize Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Ego State and Parts Work, and mindfulness. I am also certified in Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) and Prolonged Exposure (PE). As a therapist who loves helping people heal from trauma, anxiety, and depression, I’d love to tell you more about how these modalities create long lasting and deep changes.

Naomi Greenstone, LCSW is an EMDR-certified therapist in Colorado specializing in trauma, anxiety, intrusive thoughts, parenting, attachment wounds, nervous system regulation, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and somatic therapy.
One of the most common things I hear from new clients is:
“I understand why I feel this way… I just can’t seem to change it.”
That’s because many of our struggles aren’t simply stored as thoughts.
They’re stored as nervous system responses, emotional memories, protective patterns, relationship experiences, and beliefs that were learned long ago.
That’s where EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and somatic therapy can make such a profound difference.
Rather than simply managing symptoms and learning more coping tools, we’ll work together to understand where those patterns came from, help your nervous system update old experiences, and create lasting change.
I would love to help you feel safe within yourself, your relationships and the world. Ready for meaningful change?
