Therapists in Longmont, CO

I work with individuals and couples so that you can navigate life transitions, relationship challenges and traumatic events, or work with your anxiety, depression, grief or stress. I work in a body-centered way so that you can access and uncover the strengths and resources you already have in order to move forward in life, heal past trauma and feel centered, confident and satisfied.

I am a licensed Clinical Psychologist and have been in practice since 1982, and a graduate of the University of Colorado at Boulder. I have done a great deal of work in community mental health and hospitals: I was the Assistant Director of the emergency psychiatric service in Boulder; a Clinical Director of a mental health center; and the Clinical Director of two hospital trauma and dissociative disorders treatment programs. I am the President-Elect of The International Society for the Study of Dissociation.

If you're dealing with relationship struggles, wanting to change old patterns, or working through trauma (personal, physical, emotional, systemic, intergenerational, historical), I am here to support you in accessing your resources and strengths to connect you to your resilience. You hold the wisdom and strength you need to move through life, but sometimes it’s hard to tease apart the metaphorical tangled pile of yarn that internally exists...on your own. I believe in the complexity of the individual as a guiding source of their wholeness, which includes all aspects of identity, culture, and intersectionality.

If you're reading this right now, it's likely you or a loved one are facing challenges, considering changes, or need direction. As a Marriage and Family Therapist for more than 13 years, I've learned two things. First, everyone wants and deserves to live happily ever after. Second, living happily ever isn't easy and, sometimes, requires professional help. I believe in happily ever after. My practice is devoted to helping adults, children, families, and couples discover and use their talents and strengths to find and live happier, more fulfilling lives.

Explore stuck relationships and feelings, uncover old habits, build new skills and experience the benefits of feeling heard, understood and learn to accept yourself even more. My ideal clients are adults struggling to establish themselves in their careers, struggling with relationships and communication. I enjoy working with a diversity of individuals; sexuality, race, gender.

Are you looking to deepen your therapeutic journey beyond what CBT and other “talk therapies” can offer? Are you interested in exploring a more short-term therapeutic approach for a few specific issues? Do you want to experience altered states of consciousness substance-free? Try Hypnotherapy! One client described working with me as, “An immersive experience into my subconscious that was actually energizing! I’ve been in therapy my entire adult life. I wish I had known sooner that this is an option!” Hypnotherapy is great for neutralizing anxiety, phobias, childhood wounds, codependency, self-sabotage, addictions and more.

Do you want support as you navigate life's challenges? Do you feel paralyzed, lonely, or confused? I see psychotherapy as a digestive enzyme that helps people process all that life is asking of them. It can be transformative to be heard and supported (and sometimes challenged) by a therapist. My relational and existential approach is also warm, creative, and non-judgmental. Confidentiality is the cornerstone of therapy, and one size doesn’t fit all, so I offer a collaborative approach that works with your preferences for how you like to be supported.

At one point or another, we discover that life is full of ups and downs.  The bad news is that no matter how hard we try to hold on to the good times and avoid the bad times, both seem to eventually dissolve into the other.  The good news is that this isn't a problem and doesn't need to be feared.  Successful therapy helps clients learn to understand how our lives flow, clarifies the confusion that comes when things feel particularly stuck and unsettled, and helps to draw out the wisdom of our mind, body, and spirit.

My name is Joy and I have been in the mental health field since 2015. My first professional experiences were with grief counseling and restorative justice intervention. These experiences showed me the power of connection and I am committed to using our relationship to help you heal. The first step in effective tinkering is to look at all the parts because all parts are valuable. I use a combination of techniques from humanistic, neuroscience-based, attachment theory, and solution focused to help you explore relationships, emotions, identity, and purpose.

Welcome, I'm glad you're here. You may have come to this page because you are struggling internally or in your relationships, and are looking for help to transform your life. I believe that with the right support, you can live an authentic and meaningful life that's filled with rewarding relationships. I'm committed to providing an environment of compassion and encouragement where you can learn about yourself and develop new skills. I've worked as a counselor in private practice for many years, and I absolutely love this work.

When you experience trauma and/or attachment wounding in your life, you can feel out of touch with your true Self. You may be living in survival mode, constantly trying to protect yourself, or acting out of fear and scarcity, without confidence that you are stable and strong at your core. You may be able to keep it all together…as long as nothing unexpected happens. Living in this state feels exhausting! This can adversely affect relationships, daily functioning, mental health, physical health, and spiritual health. You don’t have to continue to live like this.

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.

It is difficult to not be stressed when you are navigating through major life changes, the demands of modern life and the various uncertainties that we all face. Oftentimes people go through life feeling they are never really heard or seen, or maybe they are afraid to show parts of themselves because it feels too vulnerable and scary. Whether you are feeling anxious, helpless, depressed, or feel getting through the day is harder than you’d like it to be, you do not have to overcome the challenges of life alone. Together we will cut through the mess to improve clarity and develop strategies to resolve life conflicts.

I'm Stephanie, a dedicated Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), a Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapist (BCST), and a Licensed Massage Therapist (LMT). My work has focused on the integration between the mind, body, and spirit. I also have additional training in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and EMDR. I believe that despite life's challenges, health is always present even when we feel disconnected from it. From this place of health, we can tap into and appreciate our resilience, strength, and vulnerability while tackling the more challenging beliefs and behaviors that have become obstacles in our lives.

While I am personally on a Waitlist, my agency is actively accepting new clients! We all face stumbling blocks and challenges as we move toward our goals. My aim is to help you navigate these challenges and reach the goals that matter to you. I recognize that every individual is different and that there is no one right way to support you. Instead we will work together to find the best way to tackle those stumbling blocks. We can use a variety of approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, Seeking Safety, etc. I also work with several other clinicians who can offer Family Therapy (based on availability).
