Steph Trinidad
I am passionate about working with athletes suffering from traumatic injuries and PTSD. I am a recent trauma survivor from (August 2020) from a near-fatal BASE jumping wall strike at Mt. Blue Sky (formerly Mt. Evans). I am also a sky flyer, a BASE jumper, and a hiker with years of ultra-running experience, having completed 5 100 milers, including the Leadville 100.
I am certified in Brainspotting. I gratefully experienced the healing effects of Brainspotting to assist with the PTSD and anxiety from my accident. As a Brainspotting practitioner, I am eager to help address a wide range of problems, including those suffering from physical injuries.
In 2006, I completed yoga teacher training and have been the President of Mandala Monkey LLC for yoga instruction, now to include counseling. I appreciate how counseling and yoga complement one another.
I grew up in various Southeast Asian countries, including Taiwan, South Korea, The Philippines, and Indonesia. I am Asian-American and half-Filipina. I utilize a person-focused therapeutic style with clients of varied ethnic and economic backgrounds and trauma survivors. I hope to help empower clients grow their knowledge, acceptance, and mindfulness.
I am a James Madison University and Metro State University graduate with degrees in International Business, Economics, and Accounting. I am a Spring 2024 graduate from Adams State University with a Master's in Mental Health Counseling.
Outside of sessions, you will find me teaching yoga, on the trails with my dogs Boogie Woogie and Can You Diggit, or flying out of airplanes!
