Humanistic Therapists in 80302

I have spent the past 20 years helping adolescents (and their families) with the work of growing into healthy, happy adults. My background includes teaching high school, running a summer camp, school counseling, and directing September High School. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I have brought these experiences into my clinical work.

I work with adult and teen individuals from a humanistic, somatic, mindfulness based perspective. It is my belief that the therapeutic relationship itself is a guiding force in the healing process and an essential component for clients to more deeply access themselves. In our time together, we will increase awareness around your relationship to self, relationship patterns with others, how you work to notice and process feelings, how you relate to past wounds and trauma and how you regulate through stressful times. Together we will increase your capacity to compassionately trust and come back to yourself over and over again.

Whether your quality of life has been impacted by persistent anxiety, sleep problems, or questions about your direction in life, I am an experienced therapist who can help. Counseling is a unique kind of place to learn about yourself, how to manage distress better, and to enhance the quality of your life. I am a firm believer that we all possess the basic capacity to heal and grow from all of our struggles, if we have the right conditions for doing so: adequate understanding, space, and permission. Therapy with me serves to offer these conditions, and feels like a conversation- with purpose.

I work from body-based, humanistic, and positive-value approach. I cultivate deep empathy for and with my clients in their present state. I add in breathing and awareness tools to support allowing for whatever arises in the present moment to be tolerable. Together, we elicit the idea or desire for change and work together to move toward what change you would like to see in your life.

Are you ready to become the happiest, healthiest, most self-aware and authentic version of yourself? If so, reach out and join me as we embark on a powerful healing journey together. Healing can be isolating and fear provoking, but know that you are not alone. I am here to help guide you and let your soul shine. My purpose in life is to guide others in therapy so that they can feel full of light and joy, despite the heartaches of this human condition. My mission is to help you heal yourself. Everything is already within you. Sometimes we just need an external spark to light our flame.

A seed grows with no sound, but a tree falls with huge noise. Destruction has noise, but creation is quiet. This is the power of silence. Grow silently. - Confucius... To grow silently means to go within, to be aware, to have courage in the face of fear. If you're struggling with addiction, trauma, grief, anxiety/depression, boundaries and learning to be assertive or trying to find your meaning and purpose in world filled with noise. Then perhaps I can be of help.

I offer an integrative, trauma-informed approach specializing in identity exploration, anxiety, OCD, and disordered eating. As a queer therapist, I also value and specialize in supporting LGBTQ+ clients and those who are deconstructing faith transitions. With a relational and grounded style, I create a space where clients feel safe to explore, process distress, and challenge themselves to live with greater balance and authenticity.

I am an open minded psychologist and meditation instructor specializing in couples, family and relationship therapy, individual therapy for anxiety, depression and life stressors for adults and children. I utilize an integrative approach including mindfulness and acceptance, family systems, cognitive-behavioral therapy, humanistic and narrative therapy in working with a wide range of clients and problems. I seek to meet clients where they are and understand their cultural contexts while helping them reach their goals. I am a kind, compassionate and motivating therapist that collaborates with clients to live their best life.

In this age of narcissism and self-discovery, many are feeling isolated and alienated from others, causing us to reassess our relationships and personal choices. Many are disillusioned, anxious and depressed due to unwanted life experiences that threaten our sense of security and block our path to happiness. During this time of cultural and personal insecurity, some seek a space for guided reflection, discovery and contemplation of possibilities previously unconsidered. I provide services that promote healthy outcomes and empower clients to make authentic, self-directed changes that align with personal needs, values and aspirations.

As a counselor, I am passionate and dedicated to connecting with people to assist them through any challenges they may be facing. I embrace the strong belief that individuals need to hold a focus on healing rather than not feeling. My approach involves bringing those feelings and memories we try to avoid to the front of our consciousness to process and heal from them in more appropriate and healthy ways. I enjoy working with adults that stem from a variety of backgrounds. In individual, couple, and group settings, I offer a safe, caring, and compassionate environment for all individuals seeking support.

I am a passionate and empathetic licensed clinical social worker (therapist), specializing in working with children, adolescents, teens, young adults, and their families. With over five years of experience in the field working with all ages from K-12 and beyond, as well as family systems of all kinds, I provide a safe and nonjudgmental space for clients to explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences.

Starting an inner journey on a path to self-healing and understanding can seem like a daunting task. It can be confusing, often goes against logic, and opens us up to the very things that caused us to retreat from a full life in the first place. I understand the trepidation that comes from starting on such a journey and the various obstacles that arise during this exploration. This journey does not have to be taken alone.
