Therapists in Boulder, CO

I'm a specialized therapist who works primarily with neurodivergence, specifically ADHD, OCD, autism & borderline spectrums, and chronic depression, anxiety, & bipolar disorders. I also have expertise in complex trauma issues, often stemming from narcissistic family systems or relationship abuse. Many of my clients possess an excellent or above-average capacity for self-reflection and introspection. However, they feel their heightened self-awareness can sometimes backfire, magnifying feelings of powerlessness and frustration when they find themselves stuck in repetitive patterns and unable to make desired changes in their behaviors.

Therapy to alleviate and learn to cope with your mental health problems so they don't push you around. I use ACT, DBT, and CBT rooted in a deepened, present oriented, evidenced based practice to help you to overcome your issue. Using your innate intelligence to uncover and explore the aspects that are making things difficult for you, how your thinking and emotions are in play, you can become empowered, have agency, and get on with your life.

Starting an inner journey on a path to self-healing and understanding can seem like a daunting task. It can be confusing, often goes against logic, and opens us up to the very things that caused us to retreat from a full life in the first place. I understand the trepidation that comes from starting on such a journey and the various obstacles that arise during this exploration. This journey does not have to be taken alone.

Do you want to shift negative patterns that are holding you back? Reduce anxiety and depression? Therapy is a relationship that allows for an exploration into the deepest realms of the self in a nurturing space where you can be honest and open. We create a language for the practice of self-discovery and integration in the spirt of mutual growth and recovery; this looks different for every person. I use many techniques: talk therapy, somatic, EMDR, KAP, Parts work, mindfulness, cognitive, relational and attachment work. I am a contemplative psychotherapist who works from an integral framework, utilizing a non-pathologic view.

Are you, your child, or relationship grappling with difficult reactions? Having intrusive thoughts? Repeating old patterns? Struggling to process a challenging event or trauma? You might be feeling stuck and unsure of how to help yourself. Or you may be overwhelmed by all of the mental health opinions in our world today. Through a blend of interventions I assist children, adults, parents, and couples in overcoming their anxiety, depression, intrusive thoughts, dissociation, traumas, grief, and relationship patterns and conflict.

My grounded presence, genuine care, and insightfulness will help you feel heard and held in your journey of healing and growth. With my support, you will learn how to relate to familiar struggles in new ways and make changes to move toward a more satisfying and meaningful life. My skillful and compassionate approach allows you to feel challenged and cared for.

As a seasoned psychotherapist/life coach, I believe in our innate healing potential and guide my clients to unlock their internal wisdom, resilience and resources for healing. Somatic (body-centered), mindfulness-based approaches to holistic coaching and therapy, allow me to integrate my clinical training while tuning into intuition to effectively guide the unfolding healing process of my clients. Trauma-informed, holistic coaching and therapy allows for greater capacity to rewire the brain, which can make the unconscious conscious and shift your automatic reactive patterns and outdated beliefs, helping you to live your best life.

Everywhere you look, you get nothing but misunderstanding. You have drifted farther away from your best life and the way things used to be or the way you feel they should be. Parts of yourself are always on guard and prevent you from connections that make life worthwhile. The joy you once felt is a distant memory. Things have happened to you that were not your fault and it just doesn't seem fair. Negative behaviors that you can't control are leading to issues at work, in your main relationships, and other friendships. Your self esteem keeps going downhill, the destructive behaviors continue to rise, and the best part of you is lost.

I am committed to freeing the blockages in your life, relationships, passions and work. I support individuals & couples using mindfulness, somatic and experiential techniques that access deeper material than is usually accessed through traditional talk therapy alone. I have substantial experience working with anxiety, trauma, grief, depression and relationship issues. It takes true courage to reach out for support but finding the right support is even more important. Because the most important factor in success in therapy is the personal relationship we have with each other, I see this work as a mutual process we co-create together.

I love working with teenagers, children and adults, and using art and talk therapy to illuminate what needs attention and attunement within the system or the individual. Art is a vehicle that invites creative expression which can free up trapped energy and allow for movement and clarity. While implementing a variety of adaptable art interventions, I also invite my clients to lead the session and will gently guide when needed. While my focus is geared towards teenagers, I am also seeing clients with eating disorders, young adults working through relationship difficulties and family systems that need some extra attention.

Times are tough right now, and you might be feeling overwhelmed with anxiety, sadness, and loneliness. Some days it's hard to even get started at all. Or maybe you feel disconnected from your partner, like they don't understand you or care, and you wonder if you'll ever feel love again. You might be trying hard to forgive your partner for having an affair, but you just can't, and you're afraid you won't ever get past it. You do not have to struggle alone, and together we can work toward getting you or your relationship to a better place.

I believe we are here to discover, learn, and experience as much as possible in this short journey. As a seasoned and experienced Counselor, I take a holistic (comprehensive) approach in psychotherapy focusing on all parts of a person which includes the emotional, social, biological, environmental, spiritual/philosophical (meaning and purpose), and psychological components that make us whole. And if you are in need of psychiatric medications, I work with a Psychiatrist in the area and you will have access to this service.

Are you struggling with internal conflicts, anxiety, depression, disordered eating or addictive behaviors? Are you constantly criticizing yourself, doubting your intuition, unable to take positive steps forward? Are you stuck in reliving or recreating your past? There is a gentle, compassionate process for developing a loving, trusting relationship with yourself. I would love to help you come home to yourself and access your own deep wisdom and guidance. Through this process you will learn to be with and appreciate all the parts of yourself, resolve internal conflicts, find balance within your psyche, release addictive/compulsive behaviors, and heal past traumas.

Hi there! I'm a licensed professional counselor candidate (LPCC) in the state of Colorado, a certified complex trauma & dissociation specialist & certified telemental health provider-associate. I take an existential, client-centered approach to provide my clients with a compassionate and individualized experience in therapy. I believe that humor, forthrightness, authenticity, empathy, and courage are essential in the healing process; if you seek someone who will solely agree with you then I may not be the best fit for your needs.

I use both art and talk therapy to treat children, adolescents, adults and families with relational struggles, mood disorders, anxiety, substance abuse, life transitions, grief and more. I am an art therapist, often inviting my clients to drop into their body in order to move further from the busy mind. I believe that growth comes from the commitment to the therapeutic process. In family work I specialize in high-conflict divorce and co-parenting. My focus is on helping parents support their children best in the process of divorce and post divorce reality.

Deciding to go to therapy can be difficult. If you are considering this, part of you is curious and hopeful, while you may also feel stuck and hopeless. Walking with you between hope and fear is one of my callings. You can find the resiliency and the courage to become the person you always wanted to be.

When our lives become challenging, having an objective and caring 'other' to talk with can alleviate or decrease symptoms. Depression and anxiety are so common in our society and culture. Trauma is something people are experiencing more and more. I would love to connect with you and assist you in/on your journey. I offer just simple, psycho dynamic, mindfulness therapy that supports your examination into your past and present.

Is your trauma making it difficult for you to feel stable in your life and relationships? Do you and your partner trigger each other's wounds and feel that it isn't safe to talk about difficult topics as they come up? Perhaps you know communication is difficult in your relationship but you still haven't uncovered the root issues. Trauma shatters us at the core of our being. It can feel so painful to watch the pain that someone inflicted on us destroy the things that matter most to us in life. Your pain doesn't have to rob you of joy and connection. It takes courage to heal, and I am here to support you through this healing process.

I am a graduate of the University of Denver’s Graduate School of Social Work and have specialized in working with adolescents and young adults who experience high levels of anxiety and vulnerable nervous systems. I first began my journey as a social work intern supporting children and families at Blue Sky Bridge here in Boulder, CO and have since worked in both clinical and community based settings. I offer a wide variety of modalities and tools as each individual benefits from their own treatment plan unique to them. These modalities may include play therapy, CBT, DBT, parts work, and somatic therapy.
