Therapists in Boulder, CO

Ever feel like there is more to this life than the one you've been living? As someone who has felt the gravity and darkness of untapped potential I know what's it's like to be living a life we don't love. The clues are within the depression and/or anxiety - these are our body's brilliantly sane ways of saying "pay attention!" Anyone can have a life that is full of passion, richness, purpose, and they feel joyfully proud to be living. It will take vulnerability, bravery, sacrifices, and perhaps some help to get this life that you love. I'd be deeply honored to be the gentle and firm guide you need to help you create this life.

You have a calling to know yourself more completely, to make lasting changes in habitual pattens, to engage in the deep healing of unconscious unfinished business, and to integrate awakened insights fully into the body, into relationships, and into your life in the world. We get to know each other to build trust, identify areas for exploration, and then we dive. The therapeutic experience involves transformational epiphanies and the processing of hidden and stuck emotions. I gently challenge my clients to lean into uncomfortable places and build the tolerance for psycho-spiritual unfolding. See my website for more information.

Welcome to this journey regardless if therapy is new or familiar to you. I strive to create a compassionate, kind, yet appropriately challenging space for self-acceptance, transformation, and insight. Through relational and cultural lenses that include awareness and mindfulness as ground, I believe all obstacles and challenges can be explored. I hope to walk with you along this path of discovering your innate wisdom, potential for growth, healing, and transformation.

Life can be challenging at times- together we can focus on personal growth, healing, and increasing the quality of your experience. Our relationship with others, our environments, and other dimensions of life is the core of who we are as humans. Fortunately, therapy is a tried and true version of this relationship that empowers us to accomplish mental health, wellness, and growth. I am here to connect with and understand your unique circumstances so that we can safely navigate any challenges that arise. My ideal world is one where we can all live in peace, harmony, and be able to express our inherent individuality.

In an increasingly fractured world, it's easy to lose connection with the self and the world around us. The conflicting responsibilities of the home and the workplace often leave men struggling with intimacy, purpose, connection, emotional growth, or a balanced relationship with masculinity. As a therapist at one of the nation's leading intensive treatment centers for intimacy disorders, I have helped hundreds of men from across the country struggling with trauma, addiction, anger, unhealthy sexual behaviors, self-worth, relationship crisis, long-term recovery and sexual reintegration. I know that long-term healing is possible.

For 30 years, I have helped clients overcome depression, anxiety, anger, stress, relationship conflicts, ADD, addictions, workplace, and motivation problems. I am a very interactive, direct (often with humor) and solution focused therapist who challenges clients to instigate the change they want to see. I help clients develop skills in approaching discomfort rather than avoiding. Using cognitive strategies, I can help you change negative thinking to positive. I help clients express their healthiest emotions rather than using emotions to defend or manipulate. I encourage exercise and mindfulness for optimal living.

While our thoughts influence our actions, they don’t control our actions. We don’t always consider this dynamic when we feel stuck and uncertain of how to move forward in life. If you've ever wondered if there's more to life, then I am here to assist you in discovering what's important to you, while cultivating greater self-awareness. Often it's our interpretations of what we experience that is the cause of our distress and suffering. From a mindfulness-based, acceptance and commitment approach, learn how to become open to what is present in your life, while being a willing participant to do what matters.

Who are you, actually? Our sense of self is shaped by surviving our parents, social groups, and the cultures we grow up in. Is that really you? Old, unconscious reactive patterns can stop you from living the life you would like, and so can relationship injuries and stress. You CAN change and rebuild yourself in new ways, with focused time and effort! I use multiple approaches in my work. We'll focus on what you're doing right, as well as barriers or problems. I encourage awareness, mindfulness and somatic/ body based approaches along with changing unhelpful thought patterns, and clarifying your values to help direct your goals.

Psychotherapy is for everyone. You do not have to wait until your life falls apart to seek help. In fact, many of us will never experience a mental health crisis. But that doesn’t mean that we cannot benefit from therapy. Things are going well but you want to learn how to live your best life? Things aren’t going so great and you want to get back to where you were before Covid? Things went south and you really need some help? No matter where you are on this spectrum, therapy IS for you. Whether you are seeking Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy or traditional talk therapy, I’m here and ready to help. Let’s get started. You deserve this.

I help men who are feeling stuck discover their passion. After helping hundreds of men tune into themselves, find well-being, and reconnect to themselves I look forward to helping you on your unique path. It takes courage to turn inwards and see what’s there. I’m David and I’m here to help you do just that. You’ll be in a relaxed, non-judgmental and humorous space where you can be yourself.

When depression, anxiety, and stress begin to feel too heavy to handle alone, I offer a safe place to explore and feel. My aim is to help you uncover and overcome the obstacles that are blocking you from living the life that you want. In our sessions, I will bring a warm, vibrant, grounded energy that is equal parts gentle and challenging. I believe that you possess an inner wisdom that truly knows what is true and right for you. Let's find that together.

I am a individual adult counselor and PACT trained couple/marriage therapist. Psychotherapy is a journey of self-exploration, self-discovery and self-awareness. My approach centers around a belief in the healing and transformative power of mindfulness, and mind-body awareness. With guidance and support, these tools lead to freedom, joy, the manifestation of your natural talents and gifts, and your true voice. I offer a supportive, compassionate style, and a strong, steady, presence for our work together; I also skillfully and precisely challenge the emotional, cognitive, and behavioral patterns that keep you feeling stuck.

Welcome! At the moment, I am only available for supervision. I work with clinicians who support both individuals and couples across a wide variety of issues, including marriage and relationship counseling, sexuality, trauma, psychedelic integration, anxiety, and depression. I primarily use mindfulness-based approaches rooted in the Hakomi Method with a focus on attachment styles and neurobiology. I offer a free 20-30 minute phone consultation.

You know you function well, but there is something missing. Maybe you feel solid in the tasks of daily living, but you want more. There is a drive inside seeking more depth of connection in relationships or more satisfaction at work. Perhaps you know yourself to be caring and kind, but are having difficulties with your partner, child, or close friendships. You are looking to thrive and some support and clarity is all you need to get there.

I am an AASECT Certified Sex Therapist and Couple/Relationship Counselor, licensed in Colorado and Hawaii. I help individuals and those in traditional, or non-traditional, relationships, explore issues surrounding: sex, sexuality/sexual orientation, gender, sexual performance/functioning, desire discrepancy, kink/fetishes, compulsive sexual behavior/sex addiction, sexual abuse/trauma, communication, intimacy, and betrays of trust/infidelity. I celebrate diversity and approach our work together with empathy and non-judgment.

I welcome the opportunity to help you individually or as a couple to move in a direction that is happier, healthier, more at ease and deeply aligned with who you are really are and what matters most to you or your partner. Whether you are struggling with a relationship issue such as infidelity or a personal issue such as anxiety, fear, grief, depression, chronic pain or unresolved trauma (PTSD), we will work together towards healing and core level change - not just a temporary reduction in your symptoms. I view our work together as collaborative. You're the expert on your life, while I bring a psychological, holistic perspective.

I work with adults, emerging adults, and teens who are seeking to deepen their awareness of themselves and engage collaboratively in their healing and therapeutic process. If you are experiencing anxiety, depression, grappling with spirituality, having difficulty integrating mystical or challenging experiences, navigating any kind of life or career transition, having relationship issues, or living with trauma, I am ready to serve you. I can help guide you to a greater awareness of yourself and your issues. Your increased awareness will prepare you to become the more embodied, aligned, and natural you that you are seeking.

I believe we are here to discover, learn, and experience as much as possible in this short journey. As a seasoned and experienced Counselor, I take a holistic (comprehensive) approach in psychotherapy focusing on all parts of a person which includes the emotional, social, biological, environmental, spiritual/philosophical (meaning and purpose), and psychological components that make us whole. And if you are in need of psychiatric medications, I work with a Psychiatrist in the area and you will have access to this service.

Being human can be a beautiful, sacred, and rewarding experience. Yet, there are the inevitable moments of suffering that can leave us feeling overwhelmed, powerless, or lost. Suffering, whether trauma, depression, anxiety, or an intrusive thought, is hard to be with on our own. As a therapist, I want you to know you're not alone in these darker moments, and there is support for you in this wild, uncertain world. I am here to provide you with effective, practical therapeutic skills for greater resilience, confidence, and strength. I believe in your ability to heal, and live your best, most sacred life.
