About Ruth Setlak, LCSW
Ruth Setlak is an LCSW, trauma therapist, and owner of a private practice in the Denver area of Colorado. She works with children, families, and adults to support the healing of the nervous system, build healthy social-emotional capacities, improve the parent/child relationship, and move forward from traumatic experiences. She believes that healing involves the mind, body, and soul.

Her main methods of therapy are Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP), Neuro-Affective Relational Model (NARM), the DIR/ Floortime developmental play therapy model, Developmental Dyadic Psychotherapy (DDP) family therapy, and Transforming the Experience-Based Brain (TEB), which is a touch-based model for nervous system regulation and developmental trauma. She is also certified in EMDR, and Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR) for trauma and attachment wounds.
