C-PTSD & Childhood Trauma Counseling
Are you feeling pain from childhood trauma, complex trauma or C-PTSD? Maybe your adult life is pretty good, yet you struggle with anxiety, depression, & shame rooted in your past. You want to work on it, but don’t know where to begin. Unresolved trauma can feel overwhelming. It can impact your relationships, sense of self, and how you relate with the world. If any of this sounds like your experience, you’re not alone & I’d like to help.
Couples Counseling
Are you & your partner struggling with communication? Does resolving conflicts feel overwhelming? Maybe you’re thinking ‘we love each other, why is this so hard?’. Perhaps one or both of you have past traumas & you see it impacting your relationship. All relationships go through times where they could use support. I’m here to help.
Polyamorous / CNM Relationship Counseling
Are you & your partner(s) exploring polyamory / CNM? Maybe you’ve had an open relationship for awhile but are shifting from one form of CNM to another and it’s bringing up all the feels. Perhaps you & your partner(s) are struggling with communication or balancing everyone’s feelings & needs. All relationships go through times where they could use support. I’d like to help. You don’t have to work through this alone.

I am committed to offering social justice-informed & sex-positive therapy.
Hey there, I’m Rose Winkler, MA LPCC
I offer trauma counseling for individuals, couples, polyamorous, & LGBTQIA+ relationships.
For individuals, my work focuses on helping adults process childhood trauma / complex trauma / C-PTSD and reconnect with themselves. For relationship counseling, I help partners improve communication, work through conflicts, build relationship security, & process past traumas impacting their current day connection. I offer sessions in-person in Boulder and online throughout CO.
I’m eclectic & creative in my therapeutic approach. I use a combination of somatic & mindfulness-based skills, attachment therapies, parts work (IFS & Gestalt), & EMDR to help my clients have resources to cope with the present and process past traumas.
If you’re feeling pain from past trauma impacting your present life and relationships and are ready to make a change, please reach out or read more about me here.
