Spirituality Therapists in Louisville, CO

I believe the body-mind is meant to heal, and that difficulties in your life can be transformed into positive learning experiences, moving you toward more balance and harmony. My goal is to empower you to find your way to health through increased awareness, regulation of the nervous system, and cognitive-behavioral changes. I have a general practice and asssist in dealing with trauma and PTSD, attachment issues, anxiety and depression,spiritual growth, pre-marital counseling and relationship issues, parenting, grief, death and dying, menopause, transitions, spirituality , stress, and coping with illness.

Greetings and thanks for exploring my counseling practice. While the majority of my clients are between the ages of 5 and 15, I also work with older kids and adults on their own issues, parenting practices, stress and anxiety management, and more. Whether you are looking for an empathic ear or concrete coping strategies for yourself or your child, I use a strength-based and person-centered approach to psychotherapy. Please note that I do not accept any insurance payments, but instead accept cash, checks or digital currency (Venmo, e.g.).

Fear. Anxiety. Depression. Grief. Loneliness. Trauma. Irritability. Fatigue. Sleep Issues. Loss of Identity. Relationship & Family Issues. I am available to help as you face the challenges on your daily life and functioning.

Hope is Real. You can change your life in a more positive direction.

My approach looks at people holistically concentrating on the interactions between thoughts, emotions, physical wellness, and spirituality . I do not have a cookie cutter approach and understand that life and individuals are complex. The relationship between therapist and client is the driving force for change; therefore my number one goal is to build a strong and supportive alliance. I use play therapy with children and expressive therapies (art and creative writing) with clients of all ages. I enjoy working in creative ways with clients when it is a good fit.

The problems and symptoms bringing you to seek therapy might be connected to things you wish never happened. This can be overwhelming to feel and vulnerable to invite another person to be with you. Deep down you may be hoping for change and eager for healing, but unsure of how to get it. I believe psychotherapy is a sacred process that can look underneath the surface and explore deeply-rooted issues to help create long lasting and significant change. My hope is to partner with you to help you understand yourself, deepen your relationships with others, and foster your healing journey.

I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, PTSD, grief, relationship challenges, spiritual crisis/integration, and I coach people to help them realize their life goals, what they really want in life, work/career and relationships. I use specialized cognitive, client centered, and somatic approaches. For details please see www.newtranspersonalpsychotherapy.com

Reaching out can be insanely difficult and vulnerable at times, I get it. Come in, have some tea, see if the connection feels right for you. I'm here to offer my heart, love, guidance, resources and a safe cozy space for sharing and moving through what may be stuck or needing extra attention. I am here to wade through the gunk with you and also to help you see through and beyond it. At times that means I might direct and re-direct you away from the story, away from the chatter and the thoughts and into your body, connecting with your nervous system, with your sensations, with your authentic self.

In addition to being a licensed psychotherapist, I am a certified Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner, a certified DARe (Dynamic Attachment RePatterning) treatment provider, a certified senior Addictions Counselor and a teacher of the Diamond Approach. I also have certifications in EMDR and Gestalt therapy. I have been adjunct faculty in the Graduate Counseling Psychology programs at Naropa University, and have assisted in professional trauma-resolution trainings domestically & in Israel. I have also provided consultation & clinical supervision for therapists and various agencies & hospitals in the Boulder/Denver area. I work with individuals, couples & groups and provide clinical supervision & consultation.

You come home from work and can't unwind - the stress of your day is keeping your thoughts churning and your anxiety up. You’re regularly on edge and binge-watching Netflix & drinking wine is not really working. It’s hard for you to enjoy your kids and partner because the anxious thoughts overrun you. It’s difficult to say no to co-workers and friends because you don’t want to let anyone down, but you’re exhausted. The to-do list keeps getting longer and there’s no real time for you – the life you thought you’d be living seems just out of your grasp.

I believe in the healing power of unconditional presence and consider each meeting with you an opportunity for deep listening, empathic connection and collaborative growth. I blend knowledge and training in mindfulness and transpersonal/somatic psychology, with intuitive guidance and spiritual support. I'll challenge you to connect with your innate wisdom, listen to your body, and fearlessly meet whatever is holding you back, so you can find the clarity to evolve beyond it.

I consider my role as a psychologist to be one of great privilege. As I journey with others through the issues that have brought them to therapy, I often feel invited into sacred spaces, filled with suffering, pain, confusion, or one’s deepest longings of the heart. It is in these sacred spaces that there is also opportunity for change, for hope, for healing. My hope is that through the process of psychotherapy people will come to experience greater freedom and vitality, deeper capacities for love and creativity, and more meaningful and redemptive relationships.

I enjoy working with people who have the insight to know they need help, the strength to seek it, the courage to look inward, and the discipline to put in place the causes for their lives to change. At the same time, therapy isn't just about the alleviation of suffering, it's also about the full realization of human potential, which is far greater than most people can imagine.

I believe in the power of people to change. Clients that are dedicated to their own healing will find support, information, and creative professional treatment in my practice. I treat adolescents, adults and elderly because change is possible at any age. I have an extensive background treating individuals from all walks of life, in many different clinical settings, and with many diverse conditions. I am very open minded and non-judgemental. I have worked in the healthcare field for many years and have a holistic approach, with special interest in mindfulness, stress management, anxiety disorders, depressive disorders and addiction issues.

I have decades of experience in the fields of personal growth (since 1990) and mental health (2004); I've developed an approach based on Internal Family Systems (IFS), gestalt, and other models, called Conscious Heart Integration (CHI). It's gentle and transformative, and many clients say it's different than anything else they've tried. CHI goes beyond talk therapy. Of course, effective treatment includes being witnessed, heard, and deeply understood, but there is much more possible in healing spaces. Somatic, parts-based, and transpersonal models have opened the door for more experiential, holistic, and transformational treatment.

I have enjoyed working with teens , adults and families for over 15 years. I bring 31 years of personal recovery from various substance and process addictions and combine both personal and professional experiences to the counseling relationship. I work with teens, adults and families dealing with codependency, substance use issues, addiction, stress, anxiety and trauma. My approach helps with discovering the best methods for you to learn how to cope with life challenges in a way that won't harm you or the people you love. If you are struggling to find your way, I encourage you to call for a free phone consultation.
