Hi, I am Alana D’Ambrosio a relationship and individual therapist in Denver, Colorado. I am a trauma-informed therapist with a passion for working with individuals, couples, and families to help you heal the relationship with yourself and the people you love. Lets collaborate to understand your unique experience, set achievable goals, and create a fulfilling experience of life.
Heal from An Affair or Betrayal
While I see couples and individuals for a variety of unique life experiences, I have a passion for helping people heal after emotional and physical affairs or relationship betrayals.

If you are in individual looking to heal, grow, and move on after a break-up or divorce:
Support for Parents
I am passionate about supporting people as they process the many transitions of parenthood. The experience of becoming and being a parent is filled with joy AND it can also be filled with anxiety, overwhelm, and uncertainty.
If you are a parenting couple looking for support:
If you are a Mom or Dad looking for support:
Relationship Therapy
I believe relationships can be the most powerful form of support when we are able to see and respect one another’s unique humanness. Often relationships need therapeutic support to honor the delicate balance of autonomy and interdependence.
If you are a teenager looking to improve the relationship with your parent(s)
If you are an adult looking to improve the relationship with other adult family members.
If you are an individual looking to improve the relationship with YOU, ages 16+
When working with me there are four parts of communication that I believe are the root of a healthy sense of self and connected relationships:
self-exploration (what am I experiencing) + insight (what do I need) + vulnerability (heartfelt communication) + validation (I see you/you see me)
Traumatic experiences can create a disconnect from 1 or more of these areas. Disconnection can produce an increase in self and relationship sabotaging behaviors. However, when all 4 parts are present the result is self-clarity, connected relationships, and a supportive experience of life, in other words a shift from surviving to thriving! You deserve to thrive!
If you are ready to embark on this transformative journey towards healing and personal growth, I invite you to reach out and schedule an appointment. Remember, you don't have to face these challenges alone. I am here to support you every step of the way.
“human life and life itself is always capable of growth”
My therapeutic approach can be described at no-nonsense and direct with a sense of tenderness, humor, and flexibility. While I am not your typical soft-voiced, blank-faced therapist, I will create a safe and validating space for you to step into vulnerability, hang out with the emotions you have been running from, and find your voice to express your needs.
My structured approach draws from various evidence-informed modalities such as:
Relationship Therapy: The Gottman Method of Relationship Therapy
Systemic Therapy: Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
Humanistic Therapy: Satir Change Model
Trauma Informed Approach: Internal Family System (IFS)
By combining these approaches, we can tailor our sessions to meet your unique needs and goals. Through our work together, you can expect to gain insight, develop resilience, and cultivate a deeper understanding of yourself and your relationships.
