Therapists in Boulder, CO

Our small group practice specializes in mentoring and coaching, a relatable and effective modality for teens, young adults, and adults. Through your real-life experiences, mentors model and teach coping tools, life skills, and track desirable habits. The nature of this approach is relational, practical, and strategic. We cultivate a trusting relationship with you, which we believe is foundational to change and personal growth. We use methods such as Motivational Interviewing, DBT, psychoeducation, and mindfulness practices to help you develop insight and make informed decisions. We welcome neurodiverse and neurotypical clients.

I work best with clients who are not only wanting to resolve their issues, but who also have some abiding interest in inner exploration and self-discovery. In my experience, if we only approach therapy with the mindset of needing to fix, therapy can become heavy and mechanical. Even if we are working with difficult subjects, therapy is meant to engage a part of us that loves to know the truth about ourselves. When this happens, it is as though a flame lights up in us, which fuels our passion for self-inquiry. Then, therapy becomes more like an adventure, which can be very enjoyable, meaningful, and expansive.

Using EMDR, DBT, and mind and body resources let's work together to integrate your past traumatic experiences, re-pattern frustrating habits, grow your self-worth, and improve your relationships. I will help you gain more perspective and compassion for your mental states and emotional experiences. You will learn effective tools and daily practices. We will work together in a collaborative way at a pace that honors and respects your unique healing process. With greater insight discover new options, and feel deep shifts in your life. We will explore what helps you resolve the past, so you can live more fully in the present.

Transitions are, by their very nature, difficult. Adjusting to any life change requires continued growth, self-development and a balance between one's inner strength and external resources. I assist adults (as well as senior citizens) to create a meaningful existence in the social and environmental contexts of their lives. I use cognitive behavioral methods to help my clients successfully cope with a broad spectrum of stressors and personal life challenges related to major life events--career change, retirement, divorce or the death of a loved one.

I help children feel more expansion in their emotionality so that they are able to break the cycles of self-doubt and move forward with their innate wisdom and their natural curiosities. In the old-paradigm, we have been faced with imbalances, pressures, restrictions and tensions especially in school. Some children thrive in the current system. Others have a more outside of the box way of learning. By honoring our deepest truths, we prepare for the world we are creating. Kids are looking for their own unique outlets to express their needs. We work together to embody and discover choices that make the most sense for who they are!

I offer in-person and/or on-line psychoanalytic/psychodynamic psychotherapy. My approach aims to resolve longstanding patterns that keep clients from embodying their potential, preventing their ability to meet novelty flexibly, to be in relationships, to parent effectively, or to look creatively towards a future. Sometimes our psychological, spiritual, physiologic, relational and creative resources are depleted or undeveloped. My intention is to help access these resources, whether my clients are looking for supportive psychotherapy, psychodynamic psychotherapy, or wanting to take a deeper look inside with psychoanalysis.

Tired of feeling frustrated, stuck, and disconnected? You’re not alone. My name is David and I’ve helped dozens of men struggling with these issues. My clients typically feel off course, disconnected, and frustrated when they arrive. After working with me they feel fulfilled, relaxed, and empowered. Using my unique approach I help clients reconnect with themselves and move forward in the way they want. This often includes connecting more effectively with their partner, building self-esteem, and cultivating the capacity to work through difficult emotions.

Together, we will explore how you can best heal and thrive!

Our experiences impact who we are, the positive ones stay with us, but the negative ones stay with us as well. The relationships we have had throughout our lives are also deeply influential in shaping who we are and how we feel and behave in our current environment. Therapy gives us a deeper understanding of who we are and how our relationships and experiences have impacted us. Through a deeper awareness we have more control over how we'd like to show up in our lives. I specialize in Eating Disorders, Trauma, PTSD, ASD, anxiety and depression.

I help people move through the stuckness that is blocking their full potential. Together, we will navigate pain and trauma from your past, unearth the parts of yourself that are no longer serving you, and create positive change and movement in your life from this point forward. I work to highlight the strength and wisdom you already possess that have helped carry you to this present moment. We will practice patience with the parts of you that are still growing while infusing new habits and self-care routines into your life to create forward momentum and help you rise into the highest version of yourself.

In my work at Alpine Neurotherapy, I combine the healing power of a safe and caring therapeutic relationship with qEEG informed neurofeedback technology. I consider qEEg neurofeedback technology to be a game changer in the mental health field for a few key reasons: 1) This technology gives us the ability to obtain objective data points or “biomarkers” in brain functioning which often represent root causes of symptom presentations 2) With this data we create individualized protocols that target the specific ares in the brain that will benefit from targeted neurofeedback training

I offer a dynamic approach to mental health care using holistic, body-mind integrated therapeutic techniques. I believe that often times individuals need support to clear what's blocking our natural ability to navigate our lives from our own truth and that each of us have instinctive abilities to heal ourselves. I can partner with you to identify and activate your inner strengths and authentic self. I provide counseling in a safe environment and my clinical focus builds upon our clients' existing strengths and aliveness. In office or video counseling available.

Accepting new clients: I focus primarily in three different areas; Helping people recover from Addiction/Alcoholism, Couples Counseling and Psychedelic Integration. Addiction: Recovery from addiction is not straight forward. Different people need different solutions. I believe in all pathways to recovery, and I have lived experience. I can offer you a trusting, healing, judgment free space where you can be completely honest. Together we can figure out how you can best heal from this devastating affliction.

Do you struggle with anxiety, depression, stress, low self-esteem, or difficulty in relationship to others? Do you find it difficult to stay present, worrying about the future or past? Did you grow up experiencing trauma, or have had recent traumatic experiences and are having difficulty processing the emotions and stress that accompany trauma? We all get stuck in ways of relating to ourselves, others, and the world. Therapy can offer a way to bring awareness to how we are moving through life, consider our patterns, and promote growth and wellbeing.

I believe that every person has the capacity to be happy. When I work with individuals and couples, I get to know each unique person and circumstance. My treatment approach considers the biological, psychological, social and spiritual aspects of each person. The non-judgmental relationship of trust and acceptance creates an environment that is conducive to the self-discovery that is necessary for achieving and maintaining optimal mental health and happiness. Helping others is my life's purpose, and I am honored to join people on their quest for a happy life.
