I believe people seek out therapy because they are in need of non-judgement and unconditional positive regard, whatever it is that is causing suffering. I approach all of my sessions this way. So many of us are experiencing burn-out, depression, anxiety, even post-partum and find ourselves feeling alone despite the circle of friends and family surrounding us. That is where I come in. I am here to listen and support you in achieving whatever your goals are and I am always open to feedback as I know that people need to be heard and each person requires a different approach.

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.

Many clients are confused and unsure where to begin on their path for change. Unresolved trauma, grief, guilt, abuse, negative memories, abandonment, betrayal by friends or family can create low self-esteem, unregulated emotions, relational issues, self-isolation, fear of trusting others or being hurt, loneliness, self-harm, feeling burdened by self, suicide ideation, addictive behavior to mask pain, depression, anxiety, co-dependency. I have often helped clients gain self-compassion, love, respect, clarity and confidence with the understanding it takes time and patience. I offer a warm, accepting approach in a pleasing safe space.

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 deserve personal guidance and support through the hardships you encounter. I offer a safe place where you can be yourself and learn powerful tools to manage and overcome life's stressors. I'll guide you in discovering the deeper currents that are influencing your life, and together we can get you unstuck by using an integrative body/mind approach that will take you beyond simply trying to "think your way to better."

You've heard of PTSD. You think you might have it. You don't know what to do about it. Your sleep is an issue because you have nightmares. Even when you don't have nightmares, you don't feel rested in the morning. You avoid pieces and parts of your life because you fear being triggered by past trauma. When the stress increases in your life, you notice higher anxiety and scarier thoughts. You want to let go of the abuse and trauma of the past. Maybe you've heard about EMDR, but you don't know where to start. When you're ready to deal with trauma, you want to start as soon as possible.

Ready to embark on your mental health journey? Let's Talk! My name is Anna Pierotti, owner and primary therapist of Alpenglow Therapy and I provide therapy for adults and adolescents (11+) in Colorado & Utah. My ideal client is someone who is struggling to regulate their emotions or their nervous system, might be going though a major life change, and/or who wants help but doesn't want just 'talk therapy'. My therapy is LGBTQIA+ friendly, trauma informed, and neurodivergent affirming. I specialize in treating clients with anxiety, depression, trauma/PTSD, chronic illness/pain, autism, and ADHD. Ask me about EMDR Therapy!

“I struggle to get out of bed.” “I feel like a failure.” “I criticize myself all day.” “I have a hard time taking care of myself.” Life transitions such as moving to a new state, starting college, break-ups or starting a new job can bring unsettling feelings to the surface and make you feel disconnected from yourself and others. When we are together, my goal is to create a safe, calm and warm space for you to find healing and growth. It can be difficult to catch your breath with everything you are balancing. My hope is that our sessions will challenge you but also provide relief and connection.

You are worthy of healing. Life presents many hurdles and you don't have to tackle it alone; I am here to support you and your goals. If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts, self-harm, or processing trauma, you deserve professional support. We will collaborate together to create a treatment plan that is individualized to your specific challenges and strengths. Together we can manage your treatment, invite in positive behaviors​ and thoughts, and say goodbye to what is no longer serving you. I am currently seeing clients online or meeting for walks in the town of Durango, CO.

I work primarily with individual adults, ages 18+ who find themselves in need of extra support, whether due to sudden life changes or longer term issues.

I believe that change begins in respecting each person's life choices. I listen and reflect to help people become aware and transform negative thought patterns, and to identify and release emotional and negative thoughts that promote feeling "stuck." Testimonial "Eileen made us feel comfortable from the 1st day," I use Solution Focused Approach with couples and help them to develop clear communication and listening skills. I have developed simple yet powerful healing methods that are essential tools for stress reduction elimination of anxiety and panic episodes and healing sexual abuse/trauma.

Are you feeling stuck, anxious, unmotivated, or an overall lack of life satisfaction? You are not alone. In therapy, I encourage you to uncover your wholeness through the experience of safety and connection. I support individuals, couples and families in discovering their fullest potential so they can pursue a life worth living, as defined by them. I aim to support you in moving from “talking” about your struggles to an ability to feel and move through them. I guide you towards radical acceptance, so you can harmonize and the heal the stories of yourself and your experiences.

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.

You may be feeling anxious, struggling with sleep, and are desiring healthier and more connected relationships. Deep down there is another part of you that desires more fulfillment, less anxiety, and inner confidence. I can help you. I successfully support my clients in developing new inner resources to have greater relationship success and a holistic health toolbox to not just survive but instead to thrive. My expertise includes working with highly sensitive adults, couples, and families.

I enjoy working with clients who have experienced difficult issues. This could be from issues like domestic violence, depression, anxiety, and personal trauma. I love seeing my clients grow past their trauma into thriving individuals.

I'm a nature-based therapist who works with those struggling with attachment wounds, grief, identity & spiritual emergencies/distress, sexuality, PTSD, self-worth, depression, anxiety, and difficult life transitions. I am dedicated to anti-oppression work both personally & professionally. I hold a social justice lens in my work and don't shy away from acknowledging the profound psycho-spiritual impacts that the dominant culture has had on all of us, especially those who have been marginalized. I believe that mindfully addressing your contextual ecosystem is essential in truly getting to the root of why you're suffering.

If you are ready for real change in your life and are tired of being stuck in the same routine, same fears, or same unhelpful thought patterns, then we will likely work well together. Many of the clients who see me for therapy have experienced excessive worry and hyper-vigilance, hopelessness, suffered from the aftereffects of a traumatic event, or have had difficulty connecting in relationships with others. I love working with women and men who are currently experiencing the wild changes and challenges of parenthood, particularly helping women find their selfhood during the pre and postpartum journey.

Therapy is becoming more normalized in a way that it wasn’t for your parents or grandparents. This is an opportunity to explore your own wants/needs, boundaries and personal values that drive your life daily. I focus on three main modalities of mindfulness, somatic experiencing and EMDR. I start every session with a 5-10min mindfulness meditation. Secondly, somatic experiencing is feeling your emotions through physical sensations. Lastly I am trained in EMDR which can be helpful for a range of symptoms from anxiety, depression to PTSD. I also offer psychedelic/ entheogens intention setting and/or integration therapy.

Do you long for a more real and creative life, one that is true to who you are in your depths? Do you have gifts you want to cultivate and offer? Have you met with obstacles and need support? Or has something happened to sever the sense of meaning you once had? Are you suffering from anxiety, sadness, feelings of deficiency or alienation? Are there life changes challenging your sense of who you are, requiring a new view? Making a regular appointment with yourself, witnessed and guided by a safe, non-judgmental, compassionate professional can be a huge support for your healing, growth, and unfolding.

Many teens and adults struggle with relationships, anxiety, and depression. Negative thoughts and beliefs about self and the behaviors that follow can disrupt daily functioning and have a serious impact on self-esteem and problems at home, school, and work. Stress, life events, and emotional and mental health challenges can feel completely overwhelming. Life's challenges are hard to take on by yourself and I enjoy helping others move through their journey, discover their strengths, and reach their goals. I love partnering with my Therapy Dog, Rio, and my horses for experiential learning and psychotherapy.
