Sen·so·ma /ˈsensōmə/ – to feel in the body
Trauma Therapy, EMDR, Somatic Healing, Perinatal Mental Health, & Childbirth Education in Denver, CO | Sensoma Psychotherapy
At Sensoma Psychotherapy, we believe healing begins with coming home to yourself. The name Sensoma is rooted in the Latin words sentire (to feel) and soma (body), reflecting our belief that healing happens when we are curious about the stories our bodies are telling us and the experiences that have shaped those stories.
Our practice is grounded in the principles of attachment theory, somatic healing, and trauma informed-care with a team of certified EMDR, Somatic Experiencing, and Perinatal Mental Health therapists. We support clients in reconnecting with their innate capacity for safety, connection, and self-trust—through presence, attunement, and real relationship.
Sensoma is an invitation to feel—fully, safely, and in your body.

Infant trauma
Using approaches rooted in attachment theory, psychodynamic therapy, and trauma-informed care, we support clients through the many relational patterns, unconscious beliefs, shifting emotions, identity changes, and difficult experiences that may surface during reproductive, prenatal, and postpartum periods. Our goal is to support clients to foster deeper self-understanding, emotional resilience, and more secure connection with themselves and within the parent–infant relationship.

Generalized Anxiety
Relationship Anxiety

OCD
Anxiety and OCD both involve worry, fear, and an overactive sympathetic nervous system. We use a combination of somatic and cognitive approaches to support clients to build capacity for feeling both fear and safety at a nervous system level and to confront their deeper core beliefs. However, OCD is often misunderstood and requires proper assessment and treatment. We use an ERP informed approach to treatment to support clients to face their fears and build tolerance for distress.
Childbirth Education Course
Feel Confident | Reduce Fear | Decrease Risk | Improve Outcomes
Birth can be beautiful—and overwhelming. 1 in 5 parents experience postpartum depression or anxiety, and nearly 10% face birth-related PTSD.
Studies show that prenatal education is one of the most effective ways to prepare for and improve birth outcomes.
This 12 hour self paced, trauma-informed course offers compassionate, evidence-based support to help you feel informed and empowered- whether you’re birthing at home, in a hospital, or somewhere in between.
6 thoughtfully structured modules with over 10 hours of video instruction
A 165+ page companion e-book filled with research, printable tools, charts, exercises, and journal prompts
Individualized birth and postpartum planning resource

“Maggie is truly exceptional. In just two years of working with her, I’ve learned more about myself than I ever did in all my previous therapeutic experiences combined. One of Maggie’s rare gifts is her ability to be a genuine blank slate. This might sound simple, but it’s incredibly difficult to find. Unlike others I’ve worked with, she doesn’t project her life or opinions into the space. Instead, she creates a container that feels fully focused on you. It’s collaborative, empowering, and deeply healing.”
“As I was driving home the other day, I realized this familiar feeling. It was the confident, successful, and calm woman I had abandoned 20 years ago. She's back, and she is unstoppable. Thank you for guiding me back to her. Thank you for seeing her when I did not. Thank you for being such an excellent therapist. In the past, I would have given you all of the credit, but you're the first therapist to push me to realize I was doing the work. I feel it, too”

“Maggie helped me distill the turmoil and noise into one central question. I felt a remarkable weight off my shoulders. Giggles even bubbled up more easily, and that was a joy to feel. I know I will continue to face challenges, but knowing my central question and the hope that arises from developing skills/strategies to work with that feels empowering and productive. Maggie said that she was just walking along this journey with me, but she was so good at seeing patterns that I have not seen despite all my reflections. Her ability to “turn down the noise” and see a central pattern/question was remarkable. ”
— Julie, Mom of 1 year old -
"I can't speak highly enough about Maggie. Her warmth, care, and intuitive insights truly made a difference in my life. I felt really close to her in a way that was really genuine on both our parts. She guided me in processing my birthing experience which helped me overcome the array of challenges I faced at that time. Her use of somatic experiencing was really unique and transformative part of our work. Maggie is an absolute gem, and her support has been invaluable.”
— H.B., NICU mom
