Postpartum & Trauma Therapy for Dads & Couples in Fort Collins, Colorado
Carrying it All Yourself is No Longer Working
You did all the prep work. You read the parenting books, asked all the right questions, and pieced together the nursery. It then comes as a shock when you experience everything but what you hoped new parenthood would feel like: Major identity and relationship shifts, sudden waves of heavy sadness, anger, isolation, or the silent panic that hits in the middle of the night.
It is incredibly common for new dads to feel completely left out of the postpartum conversation, or for couples to suddenly feel distant instead of like a connected partnership. If you are struggling to connect with your partner, your baby, or even to feel like yourself postpartum, you are not flawed. You are navigating a big transition without enough support.

It’s time to lay down some of the burden you carry
"I’m Preston Hobbs. I view the therapeutic relationship we share as sacred. My approach combines deeply researched trauma modalities like EMDR and IFS (Internal Family Systems) with practical, real-world strategies to restore regulation and build resiliency. Together, we will help you understand your struggle and release the shame you carry for its existence.
Many of us wear protective armor because that’s what we have internalized we are meant to do in order to be strong for others, or maybe those masks are how you managed to survive. In our work together my hope for you is that you experience how to give yourself permission and forgiveness for being human."
I Also Love to Work With:
-
Deconstructing rigid belief systems or navigating a shift in your faith can leave you feeling untethered and isolated from your community and any sense of direction with how to move through the world and relate to others in a new way that still feels aligned.
Therapy provides the space to process religious harm, untangle guilt, and reclaim an authentic spiritual identity that belongs entirely to you.
-
Internalized shame, societal expectations, and rigid cultural messaging can make exploring your authentic self feel confusing, or even unsafe. Whether you are navigating sexual identity, gender expression, non-traditional relationship structures (like polyamory or ENM), or simply unlearning old, shame-based narratives around pleasure, you deserve an entirely liberated space to process. Our work can focus on lowering the nervous system's defensive response to vulnerability. By gently untangling fear and guilt from your true desires, we can help you shed borrowed expectations, heal from sexual or relational harm, and confidently step into an identity that is completely, authentically yours.
-
Sometimes, becoming a parent shines a bright light on the wounds of our own childhoods. Utilizing EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and somatic therapy, I can help you safely process lingering childhood or attachment trauma so you can break old default emotional patterns and parent from a place of empowerment.

Elite performance isn't just about physical conditioning—it’s about how your nervous system handles pressure. When past injuries, performance anxiety, or a string of difficult games clog up your mental tracking, your body's natural muscle memory gets replaced by hesitation and second-guessing. Utilizing EMDR, Mindfulness practices, somatic (body-centered) skills, and other Cognitive-Behavioral techniques, I can help athletes gently process competitive setbacks, eliminate mental blocks, and rewire their stress response. Whether you are recovering from a physical injury or trauma on the field or trying to break through a psychological ceiling, we can work together to get you out of your head and back into the “Flow State.”
-
Navigating the devastating grief of miscarriage, stillbirth, or neonatal medical complications is a heavy, complex path. I walk alongside individuals and couples as they process the profound heartbreak of traumatic loss, helping your nervous system find its footing when your world has been turned upside down.

The sensory overload and lack of structure in early parenthood can cause executive dysfunction and ADHD symptoms to skyrocket.
