Somatic Therapists in South Boulder, Boulder, CO

I welcome you to a safe and nurturing space to embark on your therapeutic journey at your own pace. With a profound passion for facilitating transformative healing and mental health, I collaborate with clients to identify and move through the unique challenges that prohibit them from living their fullest, most authentic lives. I firmly believe healing is not a one-size-fits-all process. With a diverse skill set, and wide array of therapeutic modalities, sessions are tailored to meet the unique needs of each client who walks through my door.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a Licensed Addiction Counselor. I use evidence-based and emerging therapy models to support my clients in building resilience, overcoming challenges and developing the skills to live a rich and meaningful life. I work with adolescents ages 14 and older as well as adults. My approach is client centered, compassionate and practical.

I am direct, genuine and collaborative, and bring a natural curiosity and empathy to my work with clients. I use a relational and somatic depth-oriented therapeutic approach with a focus on present moment bodily and emotional experience to help my clients work through hard places, release emotional blocks and feel more creative and free in their lives.

We'll figure this out together! Get back to baseline and begin to build the life you want to live. I'll help you learn to use your body as a resource for your mind. Beginning with simple breathing techniques & physical movements to aid in emotional management & reduction of stress, anxiety, & depression. For those who are ready, we will do the deeper work of releasing unprocessed emotions & old storylines that may be silently running your life in the background. Thus transforming hardships into wisdom & personal power to propel your life forward in whatever direction you choose.

Are you hoping to uncover your inner wisdom and shift your life with the support of wholistic methods intertwined with counseling? If so, I can help you. I help sensitive people heal emotional roadblocks so they can finally trust themselves, understand their purpose and find greater emotional and spiritual freedom. Many of my clients go from surviving to thriving when they learn how to listen to and embody their true selves. If you are tired of the same disappointing cycle, I can help you close this difficult chapter and discover your soul essence, so you can finally feel confident and enlivened as the true author of your own life.

Who are you, actually? Our sense of self is shaped by surviving our parents, social groups, and the cultures we grow up in. Is that really you? Old, unconscious reactive patterns can stop you from living the life you would like, and so can relationship injuries and stress. You CAN change and rebuild yourself in new ways, with focused time and effort! I use multiple approaches in my work. We'll focus on what you're doing right, as well as barriers or problems. I encourage awareness, mindfulness and somatic/ body based approaches along with changing unhelpful thought patterns, and clarifying your values to help direct your goals.

Do you want to shift negative patterns that are holding you back? Reduce anxiety and depression? Therapy is a relationship that allows for an exploration into the deepest realms of the self in a nurturing space where you can be honest and open. We create a language for the practice of self-discovery and integration in the spirt of mutual growth and recovery; this looks different for every person. I use many techniques: talk therapy, somatic, EMDR, KAP, Parts work, mindfulness, cognitive, relational and attachment work. I am a contemplative psychotherapist who works from an integral framework, utilizing a non-pathologic view.

I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, PTSD, grief, relationship challenges, spiritual crisis/development, 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

I was born and raised in Kyoto, Japan and am bilingual in English and Japanese. My work as a counselor began in 2017 at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus, where I provided spiritual care counseling to a socially, economically, and culturally diverse population. Currently, I specialize in individual and couples therapy, including couples struggling due to cultural barriers. My clinical experience with a diverse population and my own cultural experience as an Asian immigrant affirmed my view that willingness and ability to see through different lenses are indispensable for compassionate care.

In therapy with Nic you will gain Clarity, Resources, and a plan to take Action for growth and change in your life. Do you feel disconnected from yourself and the world around you? Are your relationships missing something, or are you having trouble identifying and expressing your needs? Many of these issues are caused when we attempt to use outdated strategies for getting our needs met. Additionally, neither our pain nor our path to wellbeing are separate from the larger context of the communities and societies we live in. Taking action for our own well-being is the first step to taking action for the well-being of the whole planet.

As a seasoned and experienced Counselor, I take a holistic (comprehensive) approach in psychotherapy focusing on all parts of a person which includes the emotional, social, biological, environmental, spiritual/philosophical (meaning and purpose), and psychological components that make us whole. And if you are in need of psychiatric medications, I work with a Psychiatrist in the area and you will have access to this service.

My clients are often brought to our work by longing. Longing for more soulful and nourishing relationships, where you feel both held and free. For empowerment and wholeness in the face of trauma, grief, or a monumental life transition. For a sense of purpose and belonging. Maybe you're not sure what you long for. All you know is that something feels off, that you want to feel safe and fully alive within your own skin. You're committed to your own growth, to relating to yourself and others from a place of wholeness, and you're looking for a container of support where you can be deeply seen and held in your fullest complexity.
