Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Therapists in Broomfield, CO

I have spent the last 30 years working with children, adolescents, adults, and couples cultivating a treatment approach that aides in creating quick, long lasting, permanent change. This has led me down a path of studying the neurobiology of the brain and using treatment methods including Brainspotting, Mindfulness, Psycho-Neuro-Immunology and the Neuro-Psychology of the brain. I teach both nationally and internationally on these treatment interventions. Ask about my intensives.

Perhaps you are looking for a non-judgmental and knowledgeable space to explore your experiences of gender, sexuality, and relationships. Perhaps you are experiencing barriers in your sexual and relational health: you feel out of control, disconnected, or stuck in painful patterns. Perhaps you seek a space that affirms gender and sexuality, non-traditional relationships, and the whole of your identities to discuss broader mental health needs or to integrate life transitions. I find survival strength, resilience, and creativity at work even in the most challenging of circumstances.

Hello! My name is Nicole and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Candidate. I want to acknowledge the courage it takes to put your mental health in the forefront as you consider possible therapists. I would be honored to work with you and have the opportunity to teach you strategies for resilience and how to leverage the strengths you already possess. Life is a journey and perhaps you’ve been through a lot or you are currently struggling with unique challenges. Whatever might be the case for you, I will meet you where you are. We will collaborate and come up with a plan to get you on the path to healing or growth.

My passion lies in guiding people through the healing process in non-traditional ways. Rather than relying solely on talk therapy, I incorporate various experiential modalities like Rapid Resolution Therapy, Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), NLP, NeuroEmotional Technique (NET) and mindfulness practices to facilitate change. With over two decades of experience, I specialize in counseling for adolescents and young adults, depression, anxiety, grief & loss, trauma, and women's issues.

I work with individuals struggling with the effects of unresolved trauma, which can look like experiences of anxiety, depression, and panic attacks, as well as challenges in relationships and sex life. My counseling incorporates a mind/ body approach that is based on an understanding of the neurobiology of trauma and that is highly attuned to cultural and societal context so as to promote more possibilities for healing. My aspiration is to support my clients to feel keenly aware of their sense of empowerment, agency, and wholeness in the present moment rather than feeling defenseless against overwhelming emotions and bodily states.

In a world that is moving so incredibly fast, do you find that it's difficult to slow down? As a clinical psychologist, I focus on utilizing mindfulness cognitive-behavioral techniques with a variety of individuals of all ages to help in learning to slow your brain down and to accept and surrender to life's challenges. I have 18 years experience working with those who are suffering from depression, anxiety, anger management, grief, attention, and behavioral issues. You are not alone. You can find support and guidance in taking control of your own thoughts and feelings. Check out my professional website www.drlisatempleton.com

I primarily work with LGBTQ+ and BIPOC folx, women, as well as people from other marginalized communities, with a focus on healing from complex PTSD from chronic childhood/developmental trauma. People who experience societal oppression and/or complex PTSD are at high risk for many mental health struggles, including a persistent sense of not belonging in the world, anxiety, depression, and self-medicating with substances. I support individuals in finding personal freedom through the cultivation of compassion, awareness, and understanding.

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.

Life is complex. It can be difficult to gain clarity as to what we want... what we need... where we want to go. The human experience is unique, which is why I approach counseling with openness, authenticity, acceptance, and radical presence to join those seeking to expand awareness and make meaningful change in a supportive, non-judgmental space.

Do you feel unsatisfied in relationships? Not seen, heard, or understood? Have difficulty navigating intimacy and communication? Is your sex life a source of distress? Are you hard on yourself about not being able to do things differently? I believe lasting change requires more than just talk therapy. Many of our wounds are stored in the body and we must speak the language of the nervous system in order to understand and heal them. Our work will address symptoms and stuckness at this level, which has the power to rewire habitual responses that formed around early attachment difficulties or trauma throughout the lifespan.

Do you ever feel trapped by the day’s tasks and doubt your ability to make it through them? Do you feel like you’re just going through the motions while being weighed down in the process? Perhaps you find yourself saying, “I’m tired” a lot as an excuse for your low mood or become quiet because you don’t have the energy to talk. Have you been told to “snap out of it” or that depression is an excuse or something one “chooses” to get? Maybe you find yourself using your phone excessively because – let’s face it – sometimes it’s easier to hide our struggles online.

Trauma, chronic illness(es), and eating disorders are intense, unique experiences that can change the way we think, respond, and prepare for day-to-day activities. It can also change the way our body functions on a basic level. My goal is to provide a comfortable environment where everyone can explore traumas, create coping skills, and gain self-confidence. It is within a safe, comforting environment that people have the potential to create meaningful change in their lives.

Do you feel as though you have lost your spark, your direction, or control of your life? Maybe you are struggling with alcohol or drug use and are ready to make some changes. Maybe anxiety, depression, and stress are winning the fight right now. It could be that you are dealing with a major (or minor) life change and are struggling to find solid ground. Whatever it may be that led you to decide to find a therapist, I am so glad that you are here and I am proud of you for taking this step. Let's work together to help you shine again!

People come to psychotherapy because they want to feel better. A big part of a therapist’s ability to help a person feel better lies in their taking a compassionate and loving stance toward that person. As a transpersonal, mindfulness-based and person-centered therapist, I strive to create a safe space to explore your inner world. I work with you on strengthening a mind-body connection to support a whole-person healing journey. By aligning to clients’ innate wisdom I assist clients in feeling heard, empowered and supported to work through their relational patterns, wounds and trauma.

I'm currently accepting new clients and have a few evening openings available! My passion in counseling is working with people who identify within the LGBTQ+ community or within the BIPOC community. Outside of these communities I also enjoy working with people who struggle with chronic health problems, depression, anxiety, and trauma to name just a few. If you are looking to discover more about yourself, figure out how to live your most authentic life, or learn ways to overcome your past and embrace your future, I would love the chance to connect with you.

People struggling with addictions, relationship issues, parenting concerns, life transitions, those supporting someone with an addiction, and adult children of dysfunctional families find my therapy style most helpful. My presence is direct but warm. You might be interested in working with me if you have interest in Internal Family Systems, mindfulness-based tools, and learning about neuroscience. I utilize the beautiful landscape of Colorado for nature-based therapy and to integrate psychedelic-assisted medicine sessions for those who are a good fit. I believe in the capacity of every human to make change in their own life.

I promote improvement in my client's quality of life related to moods, relationships & sense of purpose. I approach clients where they are in their lives, relationships & moods in a manner that is accepting and encouraging. I believe people are their own best resource for understanding their present state, how they have arrived there, & having resilience to heal & move toward their goals. When clients are very stuck in negative moods, behaviors & relational patterns, I help them engage these through mindfulness, emotionally-focused & trauma healing therapies, which are based on understanding natural processes of healing & growth.
