Bisexual Therapists in Crossroads, Boulder, CO

There is a way through this. We will find it together. I believe in the power of authentic expression and deep relationships. I incorporate contemplative, somatic, and social justice approaches in my counseling. I work with adults and couples focusing on identity, gender, and relationships. I provide a collaborative approach utilizing mind-body and present moment awareness to support you in connecting with your intrinsic health and inherent wisdom. As meditator, dancer, gardener, and herbalist I value time to reflect, slow down, be with nature, and developing our capacity to move from the heart with courage and gentleness.

Talk therapy for your intersecting identities. We are adept at navigating the difficult and complex conversations about your intersecting identities that can ebb and flow over one's life. In addition, we are committed to ongoing education and skilled at therapeutic intervention for psychological healing. By talking through the challenges you face, we collaborate with you to interrupt old patterned behavior and install new conclusions and behaviors that lead to constructive coping, personal growth, increased self-awareness, and feeling more comfortable within yourself.

I am committed to helping people contact, explore, and work through their emotional pain, relational wounds, and attachment patterns. My ongoing training, personal therapy, and supervision allow me to listen deeply and non-judgmentally as we engage in a therapeutic dialogue in which your emotional needs are made a priority.

Embarking on the path of healing and self-exploration is an act of daring. Perhaps the search comes from a place of despair or struggle, yet it is through this gateway of pain that we may find greater meaning and self-compassion. In the process, we may make a friend we have always longed for, ourselves. I would be honored to support your journey of self-discovery and change. I work with individuals, both adults and adolescents. I work with LGBTQIA+ and am adept at navigating issues of gender/sexuality. I am also certified to practice Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP)​, which can relieve distress and accelerate healing.

Am I doing it right? Shouldn't I feel something more than this? My life is pretty good, and I think I should feel more grateful. But sometimes I look around and wonder, is this really all there is? No, no, I should be happier. What do I have to complain about? Yet still... sometimes, I just can't help but wonder.

Hi! I'm Rikki, I use they/them pronouns, and I mostly work with LGBTQ+ folks with a specialty in working with transgender, non-binary, and gender expansive people. I enjoy working with folks on generalized anxiety, social anxiety, depression, figuring out gender or sexuality, gender dysphoria, trauma/PTSD, and many types of relational issues (with peers, friends, partners, and family). I focus on long-term depth-based psychotherapy, so my ideal client is ready to start working on (or thinking about working on) long-term issues, behavioral or thought patterns, and/or trauma that affects their lives.

Therapy is a journey to come more completely into your authentic self. It can be difficult to ask for help, yet as humans we all need help especially at difficult times. In my client focused therapy, I strive to create a safe space to explore your inner world. Our current landscape is full of speed and activity, I help my clients to slow down and work with feelings of overwhelm, anxiety, depression and trauma symptoms. My passion is to empower you to experience your innate wellness through conversation, mindfulness, art and body awareness practices.

As humans, we all go through seasons of darkness. I work to sit with others in their unique experiences of darkness, be that addiction, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, shame, or difficult transitions. I am devoted to providing a non-judgmental space for clients to untangle their suffering. I appreciate that pain is complex and can be immobilizing. At the same time, I also believe that the dark seasons of life are fertile places where growth is cultivated. Our trauma is not our fault, but it is now our responsibility to tend to its healing.

My work rests on a profound respect for the human capacity to change and a deep appreciation of the impact of emotional pain on both mind and body. Indeed, I view many “symptoms” as creative attempts to cope under stress. This perspective emerged from 30+ years in practice, formal training, work at psychiatric hospitals and other facilities, experience as a supervisor and a teacher, and lived experience. Whereas my specific approach is individualized, my overall orientation privileges the relationship between therapist and client as a force for change and a window into other relationships, both historical and contemporary.

I work with individuals and families working to improve their communication, healthy boundaries, and resilience. Often when one member of a family is struggling with an identity challenge or an acute episode, others in the family system are hard pressed to know how to be supportive in a way that is honoring to all. We all want to feel validated in our uniqueness and loved through our challenges. My goal is to help individuals connect with their deep inner resources to lead richer, more satisfying lives.

I specialize in Neurodiversity and Dark-Triad Personality Traits, which means I primarily cater to people: (1) with innately idiosyncratic brains (Autism, ADHD, OCD, Dyslexia, Sensory Processing Issues, etc); (2) who have been subjected to narcissistic abuse; (3) that are self-aware narcissists or psychopaths who want to be better adjusted. These two populations appear to be surprisingly intertwined socially, unwittingly seeking one another, and having the other group in their lives. Unusual and/or extreme brains have such a rhythm to their interpersonal relationships, which is frequently colorful, but not without its burdens.

What’s holding you back from the life you want to be living? Do you feel stuck in old patterns? Uncertain about where and how to make the next step? As your therapist, my goal is to help you access untapped healing in your inner experience, making space for new insight and wellbeing to emerge in the present. I offer safety, grounding, and gentle guidance through the process of (re)connecting with your authentic self. Together, we can shed limiting coping mechanisms, strengthen your inner compass, and open the path to a meaningful, sustainable way of being.

I am committed to helping people contact, explore, and work through their emotional pain, relational wounds, and attachment patterns. My ongoing training, personal therapy, and supervision allow me to listen deeply and non-judgmentally as we engage in a therapeutic dialogue.

I am an experienced clinician and am skilled at creating a safe, warm, empathic environment for my clients in which to heal and grow. I am a generalist with specialized knowledge in the areas of eating disorders, body image, relational issues, trauma recovery, EMDR, couples counseling, family of origin issues, anxiety, post traumatic stress, women's issues, parenting, and mindfulness and yoga as therapeutic endeavors. I work within my clients' multicultural lens and framework to establish safety and rapport. I include my clients in their treatment planning and process of therapy to create greater gains and a sense of mastery.

My ideal client is someone who is open and motivated to try out new ideas or ways of being in the world. They are curious and willing to experiment with new behaviors. These experiments will provide us with information that we can use to guide the next steps. I have helped people with issues including depression, anxiety, trauma, relationships, and stress-management. I am open and interested in working with people of all backgrounds, races, sexual orientations, and gender identities.

Are you feeling alone and isolated during this time of profound change and uncertainty happening all around us? Do you generally feel that you’re doing okay but sometimes you just need to let down the walls and cry or just be heard in all your fears and worries? If you need or want support, please know that you are not alone and please reach out to me or someone else. In my work as a Psychotherapist, a great deal of what I do when working with my clients is to just be there to care, listen and offer support however you most need it. When I use the word “support” what I mean is that hopefully you will feel less alone in your world.
