LEARN MORE ABOUT TRAUMA INFORMED PRACTICES

Meet Tezra McGilliard

In my journey as a Mental Health Professional, I have not only witnessed, but experienced, the profound, life altering effect that comes from uncovering hidden wounds stemming from trauma. I allowed unacknowledged childhood wounds and generational trauma to creep into my interpersonal relationships, wreaking havoc in my life despite all efforts to evade them. I believed I was making a smart choice in a life partner only to discover it was my greatest demise. Through the grace of God and education on trauma, nervous system regulation and Narcissism, I began to heal and become the person I have been called to be. Someone who will walk others, like YOU, through your own trauma, to see that light and joy exist on the other side.

My mission is to spread trauma-based knowledge throughout Colorado, creating safer, more compassionate spaces where individuals and communities can heal and thrive. I am equipped with the skills, knowledge and firsthand experience which allows me to deliver transformative workshops and 1:1 coaching sessions that prioritize the mental health and wellbeing of individuals, students and work-related professionals.
