Specializing in Anxiety, Complex Trauma, Attachment, and Therapy for Women in Midlife
You know the feeling of sitting in a therapist's office and wondering if this is really working.
Maybe you've been there more than once. You did the thing everyone said to do: you asked for help, you showed up, you tried. And somewhere along the way, it just didn't take. The sessions felt like going in circles. The insights came and went. You'd leave with a term for what you were feeling but nothing actually shifted in your chest, in your sleep, in your life.
I know that place. I've lived there.
I've experienced anxiety that made ordinary mornings feel like emergencies, that buzzes underneath everything and spikes without warning. I've been through seasons of loss and upheaval that seemed to stack on top of each other before there was time to recover from the last one. And yes, I've sat across from therapists who weren't the right fit or weren't equipped for what I was carrying.
For a long time, I wondered if that meant something was wrong with me.
It didn’t.
And if you’ve had a similar experience with therapy, it doesn’t mean there’s something wrong with you either.
Why I do this work
What changed everything wasn't a breakthrough. It wasn't a single session or a sudden revelation.
It was finding the right therapist, someone who was truly present, who worked at a depth that matched what I was carrying, and who was willing to stay with me through the slow, honest work of change.
At first, the shifts were small.
A slightly looser grip on the anxiety. A moment where I responded instead of reacted. A week where something hard happened and I didn't completely unravel.
None of it looked dramatic from the outside.
But over time, something genuinely changed. Not fixed. Changed. Deepened. Integrated.
I started to feel like I was actually living in my life instead of just surviving it.
That experience is the reason I do this work. I know what it is like to want something to change and not know how to get there. I also know how meaningful it can be to have someone walk beside you while you figure it out.
Who I work with
I work with adult men and women experiencing anxiety, complex trauma (also known as C-PTSD), attachment and relational trauma, and the identity and transition challenges that can emerge during midlife.
My work is especially focused on the intersection of anxiety, complex trauma, and attachment.
I also have a particular focus on women in midlife, including the changes that can happen in identity, relationships, boundaries, and sense of self. Sometimes the roles you’ve carried for years begin to change, and the ways you’ve leaned to care for everyone else no longer feel sustainable.
You may understand yourself well and still feel stuck in patterns you cannot seem to change.
You may know why you feel anxious and still not know how to feel differently.
You may be tired of holding everything together.
Therapy gives us space to slow down, understand what is happening beneath the surface, and begin creating something different.
How I approach therapy
Megan Silberhorn, LPCC, therapist in Fort Collins and online in Colorado
My approach is warm, relational, collaborative, and attuned.
I don’t believe therapy is about handing you a list of things to do and sending you on your way. We’ll slow down enough to understand what is happening underneath the anxiety, the patterns, and the ways you’ve learned to protect yourself.
I am trained in Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). AEDP provides the relational and attachment-focused foundation for my work. It helps us pay attention to emotions, defenses, your body’s experience, and what happens between us in the therapy room.
When appropriate, we can use EMDR to help process difficult experiences and memories that continue to affect how you feel, relate, and respond in the present.
Most importantly, I want therapy to feel like a place where you can be honest.
You don’t have to perform.
You don’t have to have the right words.
You don’t have to know exactly what you need before you walk through the door.
We’ll figure it out together.
