Self Esteem Therapists in Boulder, CO

If you're feeling at the end of your rope in your relationship with your partner, child, work, or some aspect of yourself, you may be ready to make a change. While feeling gripped by pain, fear, despair, uncertainty, doubt, and even shame feels like anything but a blessing, 5 years from now, you may look back and identify this moment as the one that positively altered the course of your life forever.

Are you feeling stuck? Or perhaps anxiety, fear, other emotions, or memories are preventing you from being your true self? Asking for help can feel intimidating, and at the same time everyone needs help at some point in their life. I am glad you are starting this process. I am here to work together with you on your concerns, issues, or perhaps the much needed space of a listening ear. I find it can be difficult to vocalize our emotions, share our story, or be our true selves due to many underlying emotions.

Are you looking for additional support in your life? Trying to find new solutions to old problems? Or, simply trying to work through a difficult life transition? I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with 20 years of clinical training and experience providing support to individuals, couples and groups. I have experience working with addiction to drugs and/or alcohol, binge eating, purging behaviors, restricting food intake or not eating at all, feelings of distress around food and body image, low self-esteem, feelings of anxiety, relationship issues, depression, and loss.

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capacity to rewire the brain, which can make the unconscious conscious and shift your automatic reactive patterns and outdated beliefs, helping you to live your best life.

Life can be challenging. Are you unsure of how to move forward, feeling trapped or bewildered by old patterns and emotions? Psychotherapy can be a way forward. Clients who see me include people who just feel stuck, couples who are deadlocked in cycles of conflict and avoidance, and individuals who are interested in exploring how emotions and stress may be contributing factors to their chronic pain or illness.

My therapeutic approach is best described as a cognitive-behavioral-affective approach which utilizes a humanistic-existential base to strategically enact change through direct experience through a challenge. It is client-centered, collaborative, and strengths-based. I use an eclectic blend of modalities including humanistic, CBT/mindfulness, motivational interviewing, solution- focused, and existential psychology. I focus on personal rehabilitation, growth, development, and enhancement of an individual's physical, social and psychological well-being through the application of structured activities involving direct experience.

Compassionate, mindfulness-based therapy and writing groups: I support my clients through life transitions, divorce, grief, depression, anxiety, addiction, and other emotional challenges. I offer research-based tools to help clients live a more meaningful, connected and creative life.

In addition to working with adults struggling with early childhood neglect and abuse, I have experience in working with individuals experiencing life transitions and loss, dual diagnosis, self-harming behaviors and first responder experiences. I am trained in Trauma Recovery and Empowerment group work for female survivors. For individual work, I use a combination of techniques from EMDR Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and other therapies as needed to facilitate movement through the challenges that individuals face to move into a space of empowerment and personal freedom.

I am a somatic-based and trauma-informed therapist in Boulder specializing in EMDR, Synergetic Play Therapy, and PACT (Psychobiological Approach to Couples Therapy). I guide children, teens, adults, and couples in overcoming their anxiety, depression, dissociation, trauma, intrusive thoughts, emotional reactivity and relationship challenges. My clinical approach stems from training under esteemed clinicians in the fields of psychophysiology, attachment theory, trauma research and interpersonal neurobiology.

I am dedicated to working with people who want to get at the roots of their emotional pain and distress. My fundamental approach to treatment is relational. Therapy is a process where we will develop an alliance in which your emotional and developmental needs are made a priority. Over time, an internalized healing space forms where you can recover access to parts of your true self. Speaking freely without unnecessary self-censorship may be simple, but it is not easy. I encourage you to try it.

I believe that there is great power in developing a deeper understanding of who you are, your strengths and weakness, and how your brain functions and adapts-and applying this information to develop ways to manage and communicate your emotions and needs to the important people in your life. I have been working with kids, teens, adults and families for the last 15 years, and find it very meaningful and rewarding. I specialize in anxiety, depression, attachment and neurodevelopmental disorders, using cognitive-behavioral, interpersonal, solution-oriented and family systems based approaches.

I specialize in age-30+ females who are ready to thrive. Many of us spend years sleepwalking -- acting out old patterns, beliefs and fears. We're either unaware of other options or nervous about taking the steps required for change. By courageously reaching out for help and exploring therapy/counseling you're one step closer to creating a new reality. If you've been through therapy before, but are still lost -- if you're ready to transform your life, contact me.

I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, PTSD, grief, relationship challenges, spiritual crisis/development, and I coach people to help them realize their life goals, what they really want in life, work/career and relationships. I use specialized cognitive, client centered, and somatic approaches. For details please see www.newtranspersonalpsychotherapy.com

Compassion might not feel like enough, though. Sometimes you’ll want more active help sorting through some of the burdens you’re carrying. I’ll ask questions, offer alternative ways of looking at things, point out and question some of your assumptions, and sometimes suggest resources or strategies.
