Buddhist Therapists in Hotchkiss, CO

People are complex and life is complicated - sometimes we can manage alone and sometimes we need additional support. I'm here for those times that lean towards support. You may feel overwhelmed, stuck, or even bored with your current situation. You may have an urgent concern and insufficient tools to deal with it. Or, you might not be quite so sure what the problem is exactly, but know something isn't right in your core or spirit. You are probably seeking to change your thoughts, emotions, behaviors, or beliefs in some meaningful way. By being here and looking for a therapist in the first place, you're taking a brave first step.

Life is hard & seeking help can be even harder, but no matter how tough the situation seems, it's always workable & I wholeheartedly believe in you! I love supporting people towards becoming their best self & specialize in working with women, couples, trauma, relationships & codependency. My holistic approach is Transpersonal, mindfulness-based, body-centered, trauma-informed, strength-focused & nature-oriented. My job is to help you clear out old wounds so you can feel good in your body in order to cultivate your own innate wisdom & creativity in living a more fulfilling life. I also offer coaching via Awakened Hearts Healing Arts.

If you or someone you know is suffering from invisible illness, then you might have found the right talk therapist. With years of experience managing chronic pain, anxiety, and depression, I help individuals form deeper and more understanding relationships with those in their lives who cannot see the pain that you or your loved one may be experiencing. Studies on medication prevail, but the impact of mental health on physical health often goes unacknowledged. My goal is to help you live a stronger, more fulfilling life by providing specialized guidance and support.

Dr. Heather's "Wellness For The Mind" Coaching Program is an integrative, functional wellness approach where the entire mind-body interaction will be assessed. As a Certified Integrative Mental Health Professional (CIMHP), she will be exploring the bi-directional nature of how our thoughts impact our bodies and how our metabolism and behaviors impact our minds. Sleep, nutrition, movement, social connections, and stress management will be woven throughout our work together. Growth happens when we embrace the discomfort of changing these aspects of our overall health.

Do you and your partner love each other, but you're not lining up when it comes to sex and intimacy? If sex has become one more thing to cross off the To Do List . . . if one of you has a way lower drive than the other . . . or just wants more passion in your love life . . . reach out and let's talk! When left unchecked, sexual issues can become the elephant in the room and can even lead to the end of the relationship. I know this from personal experience! But, there is so much you can do to diagnose the real issues and get you back on the right track. Sometimes you just need a guide who has been down that road before.

Are you frequently anxious, depressed, stressed or feel lost? Are you tired of trying so hard but not getting the results you want and need? Do you feel you are not reaching your potential? I have a 'virtual office' and you can explore your personal or professional challenges from the comfort of your home, office or car! I have over 25 years of training and practical experience to help you, your children and/or your family. I use a gentle (and even fun) approach to coaching and therapy that feels easier for most people to deal with than traditional therapy. My clients do better when they know better! I can be that guide for you.

I am an experienced trauma therapist with a profound passion for helping individuals heal from their emotional wounds. My journey into the world of trauma therapy began with overcoming my own trauma. I have extensive training in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and Somatic Experiencing. My goal is to help my clients get to the other side, and beyond what is causing distress and internal discord. We each have the capability, and right, to live our best life. Therapy helps us understand our history in new and healthier way

While most people come to therapy with a problem or struggle that needs immediate attention, we often find that unraveling the present challenge can lead us into deeper work, revealing underlying patterns or beliefs that limit us or cause us pain. I am here to support you in working through what you are facing today, as well as diving deep into that quieter layer of experience that pulls at your heart, mind, and body. Together we can attend to your thoughts, feelings, and beliefs, and develop your sense of self-trust and knowing. Above all, I aim to meet you where you are and shape my approach to your needs as each session unfolds.

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.

I have been practicing therapy for over 14 years and I am passionate about supporting my clients in their personal growth. I use a person - centered approach while exploring the past and present and challenging distorted negative cognitions when appropriate. The decision to enter therapy is not an easy one and my goal is to offer support in a safe and compassionate space. I am trained in Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing and Somatic Experiencing. These training provide me with a wide variety of tools/skills to offer my clients.

If you are struggling with painful emotions, interpersonal problems, or difficult life transitions, I am here to help. You will find that I work hard to understand you and to help you better understand yourself and your relationships. I believe that every person has an inner potential for healthy growth and development, and my role as a counselor is to facilitate that growth. I provide a safe and nonjudgmental space to share and better understand your thoughts, feelings, and challenges. I see clients by telehealth throughout Colorado.

Life inevitably involves struggle, pain, and loss. The question is how do we respond to these things so that pain doesn't morph into long-term suffering, and so that meaning, joy, and connection can still be found, even amidst our struggles. That's where I can help. The foundation of my work is building a collaborative and compassionate therapeutic relationship where you feel understood. From there we can begin to craft effective responses to whatever is troubling you: depression, anxiety, trauma, relationships, loss, chronic pain, or more existential concerns about life direction and meaning.

Do you feel stuck in the trauma, activation in the body, & fear of abandonment? Are your symptoms not resolving through traditional talk therapy? I offer trauma resolution for women and queer folx ready to heal. Life certainly has a way of presenting what can feel like insurmountable challenges that distract us from our true nature. When we hit rock bottom it creates a crack for our greatness to flood through though often the pain of breaking distracts us in an unbearable way. Together we'll mend those cracks with gold. Sometimes we just need a lighthouse to show us the way back to our greatness, or to uncover it for the first time.

Do you want to create a better, happier, more successful version of yourself? Maybe you feel your current life is already pretty good, or at least comfortable… and you’re simply hoping to “fine tune” or “level up.” Perhaps you’re considering a career change, craving better relationships, or wanting to accomplish a personal goal. Or maybe there’s an issue you’ve struggled with for years – anxiety, self-doubt, disorganization, or time management problems – which you believe is keeping you from being as happy or successful as you’d like.

I enjoy what I do and helping people figure out what they want and where they want to be — or get through what they have to! My clients tell me they've appreciate that I "don't give up" on people and I put energy and focus in our work because I want to see you get better. Some people know exactly what they want - anxiety management skills or how to cope with depression or trauma. Some people know that something isn't right but they're not sure where to start. The question is what do you want to change about your life - what's not working now. I’m ND affirmative, nonjudgmental, and see couples in all types of relationships
