I am Bonnie Sommer, a licensed professional counselor in the state of Colorado since 2016. If you feel stuck or unsure of the next steps, I am dedicated to helping you process grief, heal old trauma, improve communication skills, and better manage anxiety or depression. I’ve found that the only way for a person to bring change to their life is if they make the ultimate decision to do so. Choice by Choice offers you a safe place, without judgement, to grow and discover strategies that will help you create a more fulfilling life.
My counseling philosophy is based on meaning, strengths based and client centered approaches. I received my Master of Science in clinical psychology and am recognized as a National Certified Counselor. Additionally, through certification from Creative Results Management I’ve been a trainer and coach since 2013.
My client’s range in age from young adults through senior-age. My goal is to help you learn to grieve well, improve your sense of value, increase motivation, and manage stress.

My therapy practice is based on solution focused and client centered approaches. You will set the pace of treatment, from intake to our final session your progress will be celebrated. At times you may feel that you are not making much progress, that is when I can share my observations of progress you may not even see in yourself.
