Being a human is hard, and being alone in our suffering is unbearable. Living begins with connection. And that's where our work begins, too. If you choose to work with me, we'll use that connection to explore what's under the surface - to identify the unconscious drivers of your actions, some of which may be getting in the way of what you really want out of this one sweet life. Maybe your relationships don't work out the way you want, or maybe you're struggling to find your place in a career, or in community. Maybe you and your partner(s) aren't connecting the way you used to.

Welcome, and thanks for reaching out. I hope you, your family and friends are safe and healthy. Leading with compassion, courage and curiosity, I support individuals and couples working to improve their relationships with themselves, their loved ones and their community. Focusing on understanding you, your desires and your hesitations, I offer support and insight through dynamic, client-focused, body-centered psychotherapy. We all want more happiness and less suffering. Let’s explore what that means for your unique self. Together, we can support habits that help and better manage habits that hinder.

I'm Amanda, providing in person & telemental health services to Colorado and NJ residents from emergent adulthood into seniority. I seek to provide a comfortable, welcoming space for clients to work through life’s challenges both large and small. Together, we’ll devote our time to cultivating growth and self-awareness while building upon existing strengths. We all have the ability to change, grow, and self-heal. Although my goal is to help clients discover and recover authentic solutions for their unique challenges; during our work together you may find that the solutions are already there, I just encourage bringing them to light!

LifeStuff, HardStuff, AdultStuff: whatever your reasons for seeking therapy, our therapists will collaborate with you to create a therapeutic experience to meet your needs.

Many people wonder if they've "waited too long" before starting therapy, but as long as you are committed to working on the relationship, progress is very achievable! Whether you are in a new relationship and wanting to be proactive or feel that you have years of built up resentment and negative relationship dynamics behind you, our work together will help you get where you want to be.

As a counselor and as a human, I believe deeply in the importance of coming as you are, however you are. And that this is the best place to begin. Each one of us comes with our mistakes and bruises, and our perfect fallibility. And these are moments to be met honestly and with heart. To say the least, I am passionate about supporting others in their own journeys of healing and self-discovery. My specialties include grief and loss including grief ritual, trauma and EMDR, anxiety/stress/depression, mindfulness/meditation/embodiment, and relational distress, personal growth, DBT and CBT.

Everyone’s journey towards living a healthy, satisfying, and rewarding life looks different, and my approach to therapy is to support you in reaching your goals on your own terms. Because I don’t believe there is a “right” answer for healing from grief and trauma, feeling more positive or hopeful, less anxious, or improving relationships, I offer a variety of treatment approaches and together we adjust our approach to be the best fit for you.

I offer clients a safe, supportive place to express their needs and listen with empathy and non-judgmental acceptance. I work collaboratively with clients on their journey toward self-discovery, positive change, and healing. I welcome individuals of all ages, including children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families. I have considerable experience in working with trauma, domestic violence, childhood abuse and neglect, depression, anxiety, parenting issues, co-parenting, reunification, suicide ideation, and low self-esteem.

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 help you towards the goals that you set. Making that first call can be nerve-wracking, but that's generally the hardest part. (you can text me, if that's easier 970-903-3893) You can learn more about me at www.durangopsychotherapy.com

Relationship is key in this process you are exploring -- it is in our therapeutic relationship where Alchemy happens. Therapy is not only about your story - it is about you, the Storyteller (how does the story live In us? affect us and our lives?). It is my heartfelt belief that Safety in the therapeutic relationship allows for increased self-awareness, for Transformation, and ultimately, for our Truest self to emerge, to Blossom – allowing you to more easefully and naturally live free (from.... fill in the blank) and empowered. I truly believe it takes Courage for us all to genuinely live from our most authentic nature.

Have you arrived a place in life that is urging you to look inward? When we find ourselves in a cycle that is destructive, many facets of life can suffer. Whether we need to work on our relationships, our career, or building healthy habits, I find that much of what debilitates growth can be identified through analysis of our history and connecting these continued patterns in our present. If you desire to identify and break the cycles that are not serving you, I would be honored to join in that journey with you.

I help my clients navigate difficult challenges with a sense of curiosity and self-compassion. As a trauma-informed therapist, I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space for you to feel heard, understood, and supported. I offer practical tools that help you achieve your goals, tap into your inner resources, and build resilience to take on all of life’s challenges. For some, this may mean addressing current stressors. For others, exploring earlier relationships will lead to understanding how patterns have developed.

If you or your teen are struggling with self-esteem, anxiety, depression, behavior management, identity, healing trauma, life transitions, or general stress and overwhelm, I may be a good fit to meet your needs. I aim to create an experience for both teens and adults that doesn't make therapy yet another chore. It's okay if you're resistant to therapy, have had not-so-great experiences in the past, or you don't even know where to begin. Beginning therapy is incredibly vulnerable, but it does not mean you are broken. You simply need some tools and support.

Hello, I welcome this opportunity to join you in this segment of your life's journey. At times obstacles are in our path and we need help removing them. Whether you are struggling with some inner battles; some life changing or major decisions, I would like to provide some good listening, accountability or guidance. Some specific issues that might be addressed include lack of motivation, confusion about direction, relationship issues, career changes, health issues, caregiving challenges or just needing to sort out priorities. Balance is an overarching goal: Self-care; family; work and community.

Modern life can leave us stressed out, disconnected from each other, and disconnected from ourselves. Human beings have an incredible capacity for adaptation and growth. I believe that therapy is an effective way to tap into the resiliency for which we are all capable. Everyone experiences life’s up and downs, which can include trauma, difficulty adjusting, trouble in interpersonal relationships, mood regulation, self-destructive behaviors, anxiety, depression, and many others.

Most of us are looking for peace, with ourselves, in relationships and as we move through our world. In cultivating peace, we may seek relief from difficult emotions or may need support working through a loss or traumatic experience. Whether you are looking to manage depressive symptoms or anxiety, or you desire to cultivate a deeper relationship with yourself and others, knowing our own truth is key. The answer is in each of us; we may just need a little guidance in finding it. I deeply love the work of meeting people where they are and guiding & creatively companioning them into work that enables a richer, more peaceful life.
