Therapists in Fort Collins, CO

We all have spirit. The spirit to move toward meaning in this limited time we have. We often need support in this chaotic world, to speak our truth- And a space to set expectations aside but for an hour at a time. To decide what we want to be and how we want to show up in this moment. And what we want to leave behind as a legacy to family, community, and the world. It would be a privilege to provide a space for you to explore this.

I provide individual psychotherapy for late adolescents and adults presenting with a wide range of clinical presentations and backgrounds. I practice from an integrative lens utilizing a variety of theoretical perspectives, with the goals of fostering a collaborative and authentic therapeutic environment to meet the individual needs of my clients.

Hi! My name is Amaury (he/him/el). I identify as a Latino immigrant and as part of the LGBTQIA+ community. My passion is working with Latina/o/e, Spanish-speaking, and LGBTQIA+/queer individuals, though I also love to work with clients from different identities and groups. I can provide therapy in English, Spanish, or both, depending on your preference. I work with individuals and couples experiencing issues with anxiety, self-esteem, shame, sexuality and sexual health, communication and intimacy, identity, grief, and family conflict.

Relationships are complex but thankfully, a source of so much information. They can promote a sense of safety and joy but can also devolve into toxicity and self-abandonment; the way we perceive others and navigate the world today has its roots in our early relationships and experiences. There is value in exploring our family of origin as a vehicle for understanding ourselves and the obstacles we face while in relationship. A universal goal for my clients is increased insight into themselves that fosters healing, personal growth, fulfilling relationships and intentional living.

“My partner and I feel worlds apart.” “I am struggling setting boundaries in my relationships.” “I don’t feel like my family is as close as we used to be.” “I’m tired of having the same argument.” I’d love to help you.

If you feel disconnected from yourself and others, or find it difficult to live each moment fully, you may be carrying unresolved trauma. You are worthy of feeling whole and I'm here to support you in reconnecting with your authentic self. Together, we can develop an inner protector for your wounded inner child. This looks like developing a practice of self-compassion, boosting mindfulness, embracing vulnerability and imperfection, responding to challenging emotions, healing attachment wounds, and integrating traumatic experiences. I sincerely believe in our capacity to transform your trauma into post-traumatic growth.

Navigating challenges within life and relationships can be difficult when you are feeling disconnected and having trouble communicating. Sometimes it may even feel like you don’t know how you got to that point and what the next step might be. I can help you to take that next step! I work with individuals and couples to understand themselves better and to develop tools and insight that can be applied during everyday life. Through this work, I can help you to experience greater healing and compassion and to build more meaningful connections.

Bringing home a new baby is a time filled with joy and happiness, but for some reason you don't feel that way, and find yourself feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, irritated, your mind is filled with scary thoughts, or worry that something bad may happen to your baby.

I specialize in couples therapy, healing trauma, and child/play therapy. In couples therapy, we will break the pattern that is keeping you and your partner from connecting in the ways that you deeply long for. In this process, you and your partner will gain empathy and an intimate understanding of one another and your most vulnerable emotions. You can expect to improve your communication and intimacy and form a new pattern of relating that fosters a secure, safe, and satisfying bond. It is so rewarding to help couples build intimacy, communicate better, heal trust, and thrive- reach out to me to begin this work together.

Relationships are one of the most important aspects to me when working with others and through life. I believe we find ourselves in various relationships throughout our days, weeks and lives. I taught elementary school for four years and had the chance to work with children and their families in a different aspect. My philosophy gradually changed to wanting to help families and children with their relationships and began my career with mental health. My current philosophy appears to involve getting to know one another on the client’s time.

Life is a journey, often filled with moments of feeling stuck and uncertain about ourselves and our path. Therapy provides an opportunity to pause, reflect inwardly, and connect in order to gain clarity and work towards meaningful change. As your therapist, I bring warmth, compassion, respect, and humor to our work together. My aim is to create a safe environment where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences without fear of judgment. Together, we will personalize an approach that encompasses all aspects of human experience: body, mind, spirit, and relationships.

In all walks and phases of life, there may be roadblocks and bumps that you are faced with as an individual, couple, or family. My role is to guide, comfort, and support my clients as we navigate the obstacles together so that you no longer have to face them alone. I believe that people are resilient and capable of accomplishing their goals, healing past trauma, and developing secure relationships with themselves, their partner, and their family. I became a therapist because I am passionate about helping my clients meet and exceed their goals to heal, grow, and thrive as individuals, couples and families.

Come, let's sit and chat where you can be heard and seen. "I am sick and tired of being sick and tired." - (Fannie Lou Hamer) ... "I want to feel like I am enough." ... "I don't have any hope." ... "I don't know what to do to feel better." ... These are just a few things I've heard in my career. If this sounds like you, then I'd be happy to walk alongside you in your journey. There are many injustices, microaggressions, and systemic issues that oppress individuals and families, causing anxiety, trauma, and family conflict. Although this can impact your day-to-day life, there is hope and healing available to you.

If you have ever experienced sexual assault, abuse, the loss of a loved one, or a toxic relationship you are already a survivor. You might feel really lost and alone, but you don't have to be. Oftentimes when people have been through significant traumas they continue through life thinking they will be fine, but they are continuously haunted by anxiety and depression. If you have experienced any of these traumatic situations you likely have also experienced narcissistic abuse within your family. This kind of trauma and abuse can make it difficult to function in healthy relationships as an adult. -now offering EMDR
