Therapists in Longmont, CO

You had a picture of how your life would be, you worked really hard, but then you encountered something unexpected that has left you reeling. Perhaps you are unable to get pregnant, or your mental health has randomly taken a nose dive? Maybe you are horrified by the injustices around you and are full of hate and fear, or you are stuck in a job/relationship/location that is bleeding you dry? You feel disconnected from others and yourself, and are angry, sad, or exhausted most of the time. It’s been rough. But good news, counseling can help. My hope is for you to feel like yourself again as you live your full and purposeful life.

You feel stuck in the same patterns and feel bogged down by past experiences that still cause you pain. You are longing to live a more fulfilling life and to feel comfortable in your own skin, but you're not quite sure how to get there. Any of this sound familiar? If so, you have come to the right place! My passion and gift is supporting others in the healing, growth, and awakening process. I create a safe, loving, and nonjudgemental space​ to work together. I offer wholistic psychotherapy, focusing on supporting your body, mind, emotions, and spirit. My practice is located on a beautiful farm, a serene environment for healing.

Life can be a lot of things. Sometimes that's a variety of emotions or thought processes that are far from ideal and moving forward seems impossible. My approach to therapy is that we are collaborators, working toward the resolution you see for yourself.

Sometimes we all need a little help as we navigate this thing called life. I am here to help. I specialize in grief, trauma, anxiety, depression, self esteem, and self-harm behaviors affecting, children (10+), teens, young adults, and adults. I also specialize in the oncology population with both the adult and pediatric age groups with over 15 years of experience. Lastly I am available to help parents with coaching in order to improve parent child relationships and help children thrive.

We are living in such an interesting time right now during this pandemic. Any struggles we may have had previously with anxiety, depression, etc, are getting exacerbated and amplified. Our culture has taught us to grasp onto things that help us feel like we have control, and this pandemic directly challenges that, as we have very little to no control over what is happening. It is an opportunity for us to learn how to sink into trust, surrender and letting go, something we are typically not taught how to do, as well as to live more presently. There is opportunity in all of this, to learn to live and treat ourselves differently.

Are you looking for additional support in your life? Trying to find new solutions to old problems? Or, simply trying to work through a difficult life transition? I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with 20 years of clinical training and experience providing support to individuals, couples and groups. I have experience working with addiction to drugs and/or alcohol, binge eating, purging behaviors, restricting food intake or not eating at all, feelings of distress around food and body image, low self-esteem, feelings of anxiety, relationship issues, depression, and loss.

My passion is supporting parents who have experienced difficult births. Bringing another life into this world is an important and challenging experience. Whether you are the individual who gave birth or a witness, there can be immediate and/or lasting waves of physical and emotional difficulties that may effect your life. These paths are unique to each of us because every birth is important and impactful. My work is to listen and journey with you as you explore your birth story and the impacts it has had on your life. Although this is an area of focus, I work with adolescents and adults needing support in other areas of life.

I believe that mental health is never just about the mental realm, but a process of connecting the body, emotions, spirit, and mind in order to heal. Therapy can be a helpful tool for processing unresolved trauma, changing unhelpful patterns in communication, and discovering how your environment, attachments, and beliefs have shaped you. Therapy isn’t forever, but your relationship with yourself is. By engaging in the self-care of therapy, it is possible to discover your authentic voice, learn more effective skills, feel good about your choices, and create healthier patterns of communication.

My expertise comes from over 26 years of experience as a licensed professional helping individuals navigate changes in their lives, deal with traumatic events, and cope with the difficulties of day to day life. Sometimes our worries and sadness can feel consuming. In my practice the goal of treatment is to help minimize feelings of anxiety, sadness and pain so that you can work towards a more satisfying and productive life. I enjoy working with children and teens as well as adults, catering my approach to the individual needs of the client.

In our work together, my intention is to hold a space in which you can begin to relate to yourself with a sense of curiosity and gentleness. This includes growing the capacity to be with your internal experience, as it is, without the need to numb or distract in ways that may become destructive. I believe that the therapeutic relationship itself is integral to the healing that takes place in therapy. When we feel safe enough to trust and open up, then we can begin the work we need to do on ourselves.

Beginning therapy can be one of the most important decisions you’ll ever make, and I want you to know how much I honor the courage it takes to pursue a more connected, authentic life for yourself. I work with clients in pursuit of the insight and self-compassion necessary to identify needs and progress toward goals. So often, unconscious dynamics and inherited patterns of behavior dominate our lives. These processes usually exist beneath or outside of our conscious awareness. My role is to help you encounter the truth of your life, while embodying enough kindness to change.

Navigating coupling, uncoupling, transitions and relationships can be challenging. We yearn for togetherness and separateness; closeness and space; intimacy and independence; trust/safety/security and spark/intrigue/desire. In relationships we ask: Can I be myself here? Is it possible to have it all? We fear in relationships we are either losing love or losing ourselves. Lorna is passionate about supporting couples and connection. She enjoys working individually with men, women and partners exploring attachment orientations, and leveraging the forces that foster a sense of safety alongside those that sustain long-term desire.

Becoming a mother is one of our most profound rites of passage, yet so many moms and birthing folks are coming through this passage depleted, depressed, anxious and angry. You are absolutely not alone in feeling this way. Parenting without enough support is our modern predicament, but it is not our thriving design. I understand from my clients as well as personal experience just how far off center moms can find themselves, and I help hold and acknowledge the darker aspects of motherhood without judgment. I also work with women in other phases of life, including those navigating life as highly sensitive individuals and introverts.

Life is messy. Chaotic. Unpredictable. My desire is to provide a compassionate and safe space to work through troubling issues and explore those patterns in life that have been disruptive, or perhaps destructive. My style is warm, accepting, and creative.
