The Sanctuary of Growth is a place for those on the spiritual walk. A sanctuary where you can begin initiating and establishing positive change, new supportive routines and self-reflection in your life, also exploring areas that may hold many significant answers to your own journey of growth by allowing for spaces of healing and reflection that resonate with where you wish to head next. My practice is unique in joining evidence based psychotherapeutic approaches with spirituality based exploration, integration and training as the catalyst of growth and root source healing as a tool to help you navigate and uncover the healer within.

Are you feeling the frustration being misunderstood or stuck? Do you feel like you struggle to be yourself, but aren't sure why? We all have painful experiences that distort our lives, that create confusion and turmoil in knowing who we truly are and what it means to be happy.

Are you aware that something lays under the surface of your daily life but can't quite name what it is? Therapy is a safe place where you can explore the emotions, memories, and issues that can be easily buried as you go about your life. Whether you have a specific issue that brings you to seek counseling or have just a general sense that something isn't quite right, I would love to meet with you. Often, it is only through connecting in safe relationship that hidden emotions can freely come out.

Love. Joy. Ecstasy. Awe. In my 18 years of clinical experience, I’ve discovered that we each have far more capacity for these expansive feelings than we often realize. Whether you are contending with many challenges, or feel ready to fly through the stars, I can work with you collaboratively to shape a life that fulfills your highest dreams, and maybe even soars beyond them. I’m eager to share what I’ve learned about our abilities to break out of old patterns of pain, fear, and shame into fruitful creativity and communion with the most inspiring aspects of being alive.

Freedom from Your Past, a Path to the Future! I offer individual therapy and couples counseling both in-person at my private office in Downtown Colorado Springs, and online throughout Colorado. In our sessions we will ride the line between spirituality and psychology. You will learn to be comfortable with discomfort. I will help you connect with yourself on a deeper level. We will uncover your patterns, learn how to implement boundaries, and develop a relationship with yourself. From the minute we meet we will be building a relationship based on trust and authenticity. I strive to create a place where you can be yourself.

Navigating the rivers of life can become rocky. Sometimes we need an objective person to help us through the rough rapids. I can work with you to develop new strategies for success, plot out new courses, and feel better in time. I do so by empowering you with confidence in a safe environment. I have over twenty years of experience working with issues of depression, anxiety, trauma, relationships, family, grief, and finding personal meaning. More specific to me, I have specialties working with spiritual issues. I have written two books on psychology and spirituality.

You’re an outsider, different than the culture around you, pushed to the margins. And you’ve been keeping secrets. Dark, taboo secrets about money, death, sex, religion, female bodies, and politics. For yourself, for your family, for society. For a long time, it was easy enough to bury these secrets, to pretend it never happened, to pretend you didn’t know. But you can’t anymore. Lots of everyday and mundane things are calling these secrets to the surface; some you don’t even recognize as your own. You feel like you may crack apart. You’re paralyzed with anxiety, fiery with rage, sick with disgust, and perhaps just a bit mad.

Do you feel burnt out from trying to make people happy? Do relationships make you feel anxious? Do you want change but just feel "stuck"? If this resonates with you, I may be the therapist for you! I am Danielle Oliver and the owner of Blossom Holistic Therapy. I specialize in treating individuals with symptoms of anxiety, past trauma, and relationship issues. I enjoy working with grief/loss (including pet loss), depression, spirituality, creatives, and empaths or highly sensitive people (HSP's). I also have passion for those working in helping professions struggling with compassion fatigue and vicarious trauma.

My desire is to provide a place that is set aside and safe as people journey into the deep places of their hearts and to companion with them into these sacred spaces. I consider it an honor and privilege to get to bear witness as people step into their stories and discover their belovedness.

Everyone experiences trauma at some point in their lives. Anxiety, anger, forgetfulness, fear, sadness, survivor’s guilt, a diminished sense of self and feelings of helplessness are just some of the emotions experienced after a disturbing life-altering event . Rather than trauma, maybe you’re just feeling overwhelmed and stifled. Perhaps the joy you once felt has diminished, and you feel like it’s a struggle to get through a day. Maybe you’ve tried to make changes but find yourself falling back into the same old patterns. Are you going through a challenging transition and needing emotional support and guidance?

To explore the deeper stories, you must abandon contempt for compassion. And from this compassionate stance, curiously and courageously engage your own heart while holding the same open stance toward others. It is in this tilled ground that true growth and change occur. Here is where creativity and connection are born, and the once solitary protagonist discovers that they are fighting in the company of a great multitude of heroes, each with their own story, each digging deeper.

I have an education in both clinical counseling and body psychology. My specialty is the treatment of trauma and PTSD for veterans and victims of sexual assault and violence. Together we explore those life challenges that cause pain and uncertainty, including anxiety, depression, addiction, and relationship issues, using gentle, collaborative methods that ensure safe, supportive results. Through a combination of traditional psychotherapy and body-based modalities, such as polarity therapy, movement techniques, and sensory awareness, I help you access your body's wisdom to gently transform faulty beliefs and dissolve emotional blocks, which often results in relieving physical symptoms as well.

Four hours of sleep, 20 minutes late to work, and five espresso shots later…you’re day has started. And it’s come with a ton of anxiety and negative thoughts. The “fun” part? It doesn’t stop there - it bleeds into your day and evening - more tense moments with the kids, drinks to cope, and struggling to just BE. And sure, if this kind of day only happened here and there, that would be doable. But when it feels like this has been your usual for way too long…it sucks. And all you want…is some goddamn relief. Just to rest, to feel settled and at ease in your own body…your own life. And you can absolutely have this.

Let's start with the future. You'll not get there if you don't know where you're going. Creating an image of how you'd like things to be instead of how they are will provide a positive focus for therapy. My job as a therapist is to help in creating that image, guide you in moving forward, and assist you in resolving past and current issues that get in the way.

Feeling weighed down by the burdens of life yet struggling to find anyone who understands? Is stress, anxiety, or depression starting to impact relationships, work, or your sex life? Do you feel disconnected, trapped in cycles you can’t change, or haunted by the past? Are you unsure about who you are, who you want to be, or how to love all the parts of yourself? Since men are often expected to be strong, stoic, & steadfast, we often hide behind a mask, unsure about the internal swirl of emotions, doubts, & fears. You're not alone & what you face isn’t insurmountable. The journey of exploration, healing, & transformation begins here.
