"My role in your therapy is to act as a guide toward discovering and developing resources to manage the complex issues occurring in our lives. We will uncover strengths and develop skills for you to decrease discomfort and disturbances from trauma, grief, physical and sexual assault, anxiety, depression, disordered mood and thoughts, pain, headache and migraine. I will provide a space for compassion and empowerment to navigate a different path."

"A sense of well-being, our most basic state, can be restored. Habitual behaviors, reactions, and styles of thinking contribute to our suffering and create stress, depression, anxiety and inhibit the full enjoyment of life, especially if emotional needs have gone unmet or traumas have gotten in the way. Through sensitive application of specific tehniques, clarity and and ease can return. I offer a subsidy with a low copay for clients who qualify as well as a sliding fee to make therapy affordable."

"Hello! I believe we all want relief from hurt and pain, but do not always know how or where to find it. I have a strong passion to help you figure out the source of what is wrong, rather than just treat the symptoms. I work hard to help people see the link between past hurt and present pain."

"My passion is working with couples who are married or just in a long term relationship. I use the Gottman method to help couples work through communication barriers while learning to manage conflict. Couples typically come in feeling disconnected and are looking for some way to resolve this. From the first session we begin working on this connection through questions and and the retelling of their stories in the relationship. Please feel free to go to my website and schedule your appointment for your couples session. "

Much of her success is with helping adults who have experienced childhood sexual abuse or other forms of trauma, couples overcoming infidelity and families/individuals coping with addiction by learning how to lead a happy life. Clients have maintained sobriety and gone to college. Many have worked with co-occuring behavioral problems and found relief. Families have begun to understand the nature of addiction and how to cope with it."

"Psychotherapy is much more than the removal of symptoms. I help individuals embrace their lives! I work with adults, aging adults, and adolescents who may have symptoms of anxiety, depression, learning disorders, attention deficit/hyperactivity disorders, brain traumas, Autism spectrum disorders, PTSD and all emotional concerns. I'm particularly interested in working with clients who have PTSD and/or those in 12-step programs who need additional help to supplement their step work; who want to work with a therapist who understands and supports the 12-step approach."

"I believe counseling can help everyone, whether you are struggling with something specific like depression, anxiety, or grief, or simply wanting to live a healthier life. It is my deepest honor to work and walk with my clients on their journey, especially in times of great need. I use many different techniques, each specific to the individual I am working with. I meet you where you are emotionally and help to get you where you want to be."

"Most of my clients were either not sure about therapy, or they had already had a bad experience with therapy in the past. I pride myself on giving a different kind of experience. I’m real, I show up fully, (I tend to swear a lot unless you tell me not to) I will never talk down to you or presume what is best for you. You’re in charge. My job is to listen, give feedback, and accompany you on the path that you choose. Making that first call can be nerve-wracking, but that's generally the hardest part. you can learn more about me at www.durangopsychotherapy.com "

"My ideal client is frustrated, angry, in despair. Life hasn’t worked out the way it was supposed to. (S)he lost herself somewhere long ago, left herself behind. Relationships are hard; those recurring patterns and reactive behavior keep interfering with connection, and self-esteem, and contentment, and vitality, and... A malaise has settled, along with a darkness. This inevitably leads to anxiety, depression, isolation, addiction, and despair. My clients know there must be more. But, where to begin? How to start?"

"Sometimes the issues and struggles we encounter in life are almost impossible to resolve on our own. Whether it’s depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, lack of purpose, deep loss, or something else - you are deserving of personal guidance and healing support through the hardships you encounter. You don't have to go it alone, and change can happen. I offer a skillful, guiding relationship to assist you in your therapeutic journey. Together we can work to change unwanted patterns and create real transformation. Your life's menu can include more new choices, experiences, and well-being than you may have thought possible."

"I work with adults and young adults who find themselves in need of extra support, whether due to sudden life changes or longer term issues. "

"If you are struggling with addiction, chances are you are also dealing with another mental health issue - anxiety, depression, mood or personality disorder. It is important to address the whole picture - not just the addiction. Learning actual skills that can assist you in your daily life to handle stress, take control of your emotions, deal with relationships and become more mindful will make recovery easier to obtain and more meaningful. I am here to assist you along your journey."

"Feeling stuck with a life issue or feeling overwhelmed? You have taken the first step realizing you may need assistance, and you want your life to be better. I would like the opportunity to discuss with you how together we may help get you or your loved ones unstuck. The key to success with any psychotherapy is a good match between therapist and client. My approach is to walk side by side with my clients in a safe environment as we sort out the primary issues that may be causing stress, or care and concerns. Also eve appointments avalible."

"My work with the dying and their loved ones has inspired me to live more fully, it has reinforced my commitment to advocate and support people through grief. Conscious grieving is hard work, even knowing it's a natural process, our culture still denies it. Feeling isolated by grief is an experience that is meant to be supported. Being a witness for the "grieving hearts" is one of the areas of privilege in my life. I am truly deepened in my own journey because of this sacred opportunity to do this rich work with people."

"Are you ready to find a new way forward, but don't know how to choose a therapist? That makes sense. Since therapists are restricted from posting client reviews, you're left with reading fancy descriptions and looking at photos. So, here's the secret that all therapists themselves understand: Expertise and experience make the difference. Practically, you should look for therapists with 10+ years of experience and have travelled nationally to get the best post-degree training. Rather than having unseasoned or under-trained therapists learn from you, choose a therapist with the experience and training you deserve."

"I am not currently taking new clients. I will be on leave until late January and accepting new clients in the Spring of 2019. I wish you the very best in finding a good fit with a counselor. I am a somatic psychotherapist specializing in stress and anxiety reduction. I trust that you have the answers and ability you need to feel better; it just may be hard to access your own wisdom and understanding at this moment. Through years of clinical practice I am able to offer you reflection, knowledge and hope, shining a light on your strengths and helping you to move through emotional barriers that stymy your growth and personal evolution. My theoretical orientation is integrative and client-centered. I focus on the here and now, facilitating change, increasing awareness and fostering authentic relationships."

"I practice a style of therapy called walk and talk therapy that is currently gaining popularity . It is 100% out of doors in all four seasons. Therapist and client walk side by side, occasionally sitting on a nearby stump or boulder. Movement helps integrate psychological processes into the body and the physical process of releasing endorphins during exercise enhances mood and allows for shifts in thinking. Nature is a wonderfully healing tool that many therapists are learning to utilize through walk and talk therapy. Durango's scenic beauty and quiet network of trails are the perfect place to engage in this style of therapy."

"I have dedicated my career to helping teens manage anxiety and self-destructive tendencies, as well as working with young adults on managing issues that get in the way of "adulting." I help my clients to engage in a process of creating strategies around life's troubles."

"Kristi has been practicing counseling and grief support since 2013. She has a master's degree in Transpersonal Psychology from Naropa University; which focuses on life transitions, finding meaning, mindfulness and mediation. Kristi believes that each person is equipped with basic goodness and a natural drive towards health and wellness. There are many things that can derail this drive; trauma, nervous system activation, conditioning, false beliefs and old thought/behavior patterns that once served the individual but now keep that person from accessing the joy and potential of each unfolding moment. Grief work is her passion. "
