Description
Stress is something most of us know intimately and understand very little. A lot of that comes down to the nervous system, but most of us have never been introduced to ours. Your nervous system isn't just "on" or "off." It moves between three states (calm and connected, fight-or-flight, and shutdown) that shape how you think, how you feel, and how you respond to the people and situations around you.
This group is an introduction. Over six weeks, you'll start to “map” your own nervous system, and its patterns, understand why you respond the way you do, and build a set of practical tools (somatic, EMDR-based, and mindfulness practices) you can actually use in daily life. All of it experiential, grounded in current neuroscience, and practiced alongside a small group of people asking the same questions.
No prior experience is needed, & sharing is always optional. This group is designed to offer a supportive, welcoming space for learning, self-understanding & developing tools that can be integrated into everyday life.
Group Therapist
Kelly Gant is an LPCC and trauma-informed yoga teacher who works with clients in Denver and Evergreen that feel caught in cycles of anxiety, low mood, overwhelm, or shutdown that make it hard to live fully or feel like themselves. Some clients have spent years in talk therapy and understand their patterns well, while others are newer to therapy and simply notice that their body feels tense, disconnected, or constantly on guard. When insight alone hasn’t brought the relief clients have hoped for, it can feel exhausting and discouraging. Kelly offers a supportive space to slow down and gently explore what’s happening beneath the surface.
Kelly’s approach is person-centered, holistic, and deeply attuned. Grounded in evidence-based neuroscience, Kelly integrates somatic psychology, EMDR, mindfulness, Gestalt therapy, parts work, and creative exploration. Therapy is collaborative and flexible rather than prescriptive, allowing sessions to unfold based on what feels most supportive for a client's nervous system in the moment.
Healing is not a straight line, and Kelly honors the natural rhythm of stops, starts, and shifts along the way. With an embodied, nervous-system–informed lens, therapy focuses on helping clients feel safe, supported, and resourced. From this place of regulation, space opens for curiosity, self-compassion, and meaningful change to emerge at a pace that feels right.
