“I always worry about something”… “Why do I keep getting into that kind of relationship?”… “That’s when I had my first panic attack”… “I just want to lie in bed all day”… “If I gain weight, no one will want me”… “Food is my drug”… I have heard these things throughout my career, and if you recognize yourself in any of these, I’ll be glad to help you.

Shiri believes that the most important thing in therapy is the connection between the client and the therapist. Clients must feel comfortable and trust their therapist. Shiri offers her clients empathy, authenticity, and acceptance, without judgment or criticism. She helps her clients examine the “stories” they tell themselves against the objective reality. Many times, those “stories” are only in their minds, based on their personal experience and history, and have no connection to reality. When they realize that, they can change their narrative.

“I feel lost and alone.” “No one truly understands me.” “There is a disconnect between who I am and who I want to be.” These thoughts and feelings may seem overwhelming, but there is hope. Each of us has a unique story with a collection of experiences, emotions, and identities. Even though we face challenges in our lives, we don’t have to feel stuck forever. I believe everyone is capable of growth, finding meaning in their life, and becoming more aligned with who they want to be. In therapy, I prioritize using a person-centered approach by listening deeply to my clients and their story to better understand their unique goals.

Have you ever thought to yourself - "I freeze every time I have to perform". "My nerves always get the best of me". "I need someone to talk to, but I don't want to burden anyone". "I feel sad but I'm not sure why". "I'll never be good enough". Do you relate to any of these statements? You are worthy of a better life and together we can get there.

Harmony Arts Counseling is a mobile/ in-home art therapy practice for caregivers and people living with medical conditions. Most therapists have little to no knowledge of the medical field or the symptoms you may be experiencing; and virtually none of them have enough flexibility to meet in-person outside their office. However, being both a nurse and an art therapist, helping people cope emotionally with a physical ailment is my specialty. Also, I believe the ability to physically make it to an office should not determine if a person can receive therapy.

My name is Erin Thomas and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Northern Colorado. In therapy, every client is different and has differing needs for the healing process to occur. This is why the most important step to me in working with a client is establishing a trusting relationship at the beginning of therapy so that I can understand how to help in the most effective way. Connecting with others in a way that supports them through difficult times in their lives has been my passion and I continue to look for new ways to help those who struggle.

Play is the way a child communicates and processes the world around them. My goal is to offer a safe space for children to be themselves in order to work towards their therapeutic goals. I provide therapy to the child along with parenting support to their caregiver, as both are necessary for growth and healing. I recognize that no two children are alike and place value on getting to know the unique needs of each person, which allows me to adapt my work to meet clients where they are. I look forward to meeting you and beginning our journey!

I use modalities such as play therapy, EMDR, DBT, CBT, mindfulness, and trauma informed yoga to help children, adolescents, and adults heal from the past and develop healthier patterns in the present day.
