Person-Centered Therapists in Boulder, CO

Do you find yourself disconnected from your presence and the enjoyment of your life here and now? Art is inherently therapeutic. In the context of a therapeutic relationship and traditional talk therapy, it becomes a powerful tool to help find and untangle the knots that bind our soulful aliveness. As an art therapy, I work with adults of all ages struggling with anxiety, depression and PTSD by helping them to access their own natural creativity with or without the use of art materials.

True transformational healing happens at the level of the soul. Traditional counseling focuses on fixing faulty thinking. Rather, let's uncover the negative unconscious beliefs about yourself that motivate this thinking. It is the quality of the relationship that you have with yourself that will ultimately determine how quickly you can manifest what you love.

Join me in learning the skills, tools, and techniques to consciously create the life and relationships that you desire. Life experiences can lead to; trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, conflict, grief, anger, hopelessness, and confusion that can make us feel out of control and overwhelmed. I support individuals and couples to empower themselves through modern counseling skills, and ancient healing techniques for creating health and happiness in all areas of life. Alongside counseling, I also offer guided Ketamine journeys as well as integration of all types of psychedelic experiences. Please join me in co-creating a healthier life.

Are you experiencing anxiety? Do you know where it comes from? Or are you still trying to explore where it stems? Sometimes stressors and traumas add up and addressing them alone can feel like climbing a mountain. Please don't feel like you have to face it alone! My practice is geared towards young adults facing life transitions such as moving out, new relationships, and identity exploration, as well as adults ready to address past traumas. I have a strong interest in providing EMDR to address trauma and working with women's issues surrounding pregnancy, and postpartum, as well as health care professionals in this field.

We all contain the inner wisdom to heal ourselves and move towards being an authentic, positive and loving person. The courage to be vulnerable -by moving toward our pain and confusion as well as our joy- utterly transforms and frees us. I am honored to enter into the sacred space of therapy together with my clients. I use an integrative, trauma informed, and strength based approach combining empathy, mindfulness, and radical acceptance as well as a plethora of therapeutic tools (ie--imagery, parts work, role play, body/somatic awareness). I have a passionate social justice orientation and am experienced in a wide breadth of issues.

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

Would you like to set clear boundaries? Change persistent patterns that arise in relationships? Ease your heart’s longing to belong? Engage transitions thoughtfully and with empowerment? Embrace a greater sense of connection & well-being? Be more kindhearted with yourself & loved ones? Support your child living a more joyful life? These aspirations are natural, indicating a courageous readiness to reach a fuller potential and greater well-being. Adults express themselves through stories; children through play. Words & play activate the nervous & neural systems allowing access to emotions, thoughts, & sensations.

Overwhelmed? Feeling lost, or stuck in a pattern of unhealthy behaviors, and wondering how to turn things around? Everyone faces challenges, but you don't have to navigate them alone.

My approach to therapy begins with slowing down, settling in, and getting curious about what your mind and body are trying to tell you. It is important to acknowledge the increasing speed and aggression in our world that can influence our consciousness and behavior - we can sometimes feel we are at the mercy of, or complicit with these environmental forces. I encourage my clients to take full responsibility for the difficult feelings they encounter as we explore behavioral changes that make sense.

Struggling with identifying and asserting your needs? Or knowing what you want in your personal relationships, career, professional life? Feeling confused about who you are, where are you going and what you REALLY want? Feeling stuck? Unmotivated? Distracted and overwhelmed all at the same time? Having a hard time slowing down, feeling busy but unproductive, like you are not doing enough, or working hard enough, etc? Do you have an overly inense inner critic, that evaluates and judges every single thing you do? Longing for some time to pause, but also feeling deep inside fear of stopping?

In working with you, my goal is to create the space for you to connect with your own innate wisdom. I will meet you where you are with presence, empathy, and non-judgment. Using mindfulness and somatic techniques we will examine and remain grounded in the present and then work backward to untangle how difficult or traumatic experiences of the past may be keeping you “stuck” in unhealthy thinking or behavioral patterns. I will act as an unwavering guide as you move toward freedom and growth.

Thank you for your interest. I tend to work with people in a manner that focuses on strengths, on the inherent wisdom of your system. No matter what the stuck spot, there is something trying to get worked out through the, for example, arguments, depression, anxiety, drug use... there is some aspect of Self that is doing its best to show up. In our work together, we will relieve the pain and struggle of the unhealthy strategy that is not working, while simultaneously working on creating the patterns for a new way to interface with the world.

I believe our natural state is health toward which we constantly strive. Sometimes, we encounter situations that interrupt this process. These interferences can occur at any point during our lives and they sometimes leave us searching for ways to cope. There are many ways to heal, and I engage psychotherapy from a contemplative lens. I specialize in healing through a depth approach and I work with people to uncover the wisdom of their true essence. I use tools such as talk therapy, dream exploration, writing, and tarot toward this effort.

Our minds and hearts can be overwhelming places to explore alone. Perhaps you are feeling disconnected from yourself, wanting to improve your relationships, or wanting a better understanding of yourself and why you do the things you do. If so, I may be the therapist for you. I am passionately committed to working with individuals to assist them in living a more connected, authentic, and empowered life. I provide a compassionate and non-judgmental space to encourage exploration and growth to support you in working towards your goals.

Sincere Path Counseling grew out of my desire to help folks heal, become more fully themselves & offer their unique goodness to the world. My approach, cultivated over the course of 20 years, is founded on genuine relationship, mindfulness, & compassion. If you find yourself in a major life transition, are coming to terms with a major mental health diagnosis or crisis of identity, are struggling with stress, loneliness, anxiety, shame, or identify as a highly sensitive person I can be of help. I also love to support seekers, activists, healers & care givers in using their service in the world as a path toward love & transformation.

My approach to counseling is rooted in the belief that empowerment, inclusivity, and meaningful connection can heal people. I often explore the question: What do you want from life that you aren't getting? You might want the ability to find peace in a hectic world, or to look inward, think, and reflect. You might crave more meaning and purpose in your daily life, a desire to be in relation to others, or the courage to grow into your true self.

Starting the healing process is challenging and takes courage. Within all of us is a drive or desire to become whole, happy and connected to our self and our world. I see the importance of integrating all parts and aspects of our Self and becoming more whole and complete human beings. This journey into wholeness in the realization of our potential, underpins our personal journey of transformation and healing. This philosophy is at the core of my approach.

Maybe your child can’t sleep at night, because they are worried about divorce, making or losing friends, or being good at their favorite hobby. Maybe they have intense feelings of anxiety or dread that they are not truly loved for who they are, or they worry they are a bad person inside. Perhaps you are worried that despite all your efforts, your children are struggling and you can’t figure out how to reach them. Meanwhile, you all desire deeper connection, love and belonging in your relationships and your family.

I work with clients who are—grappling with the aftermath of a traumatic event, experiencing overwhelming anxiety that disrupts their daily lives, or struggling with strained relationships. I help clients find inner peace, regain a sense of control over their emotions, and rebuild healthy connections, ultimately aiming to reclaim their quality of life and well-being.
