Therapists in Longmont, CO

Accepting new clients! I am passionate about helping you live your best life. Anxiety, trauma, stress, and life transitions may be getting in the way.

Have you ever felt like traditional talk therapy, while helpful, just doesn't resonate with you? Maybe the idea of sitting in an office with a stranger staring at you makes you feel uncomfortable or even anxious? Perhaps the environment you feel most comfortable in is the outdoors, out under the open space with the natural environment available to you. If any of these scenarios feel like they could potentially be true for you, perhaps equine facilitated psychotherapy could be a therapeutic fit. EFP is an experiential form of therapy which invites equine partners into a transformative relationship between client and therapist.

I typically work with adults, teenagers, and children who are new to therapy or have had a difficult time connecting with therapists in the past. My patients often remark how our sessions can feel like a natural conversation, putting themselves at ease when trying therapy for the first time. I tend to be sought out by those who have had negative experiences in childhood whether defined as trauma, neglect, or general emotional inattention or wounding. This often looks like feeling nervous about good things happening because one wonders when the other foot is going to drop or always saying "yes" when the answer is "no."

I am a licensed Clinical Psychologist and have been in practice since 1982, and a graduate of the University of Colorado at Boulder. I have done a great deal of work in community mental health and hospitals: I was the Assistant Director of the emergency psychiatric service in Boulder; a Clinical Director of a mental health center; and the Clinical Director of two hospital trauma and dissociative disorders treatment programs. I am the President-Elect of The International Society for the Study of Dissociation.

Sandra M. Gerardo is a bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Life is a winding, beautiful, and charged journey. Sometimes we find ourselves in the shadows craving the light and need someone to join alongside us while we make sense of it all. Sandra is passionate about working with people who are curious, insightful, and ready to pursue honesty and healing. She believes we are dynamic beings and integrate wellbeing practices so that wellness can be pursued in a holistic way.

Telehealth/virtual appointments only. I am a provider of professional counseling services in Longmont and throughout Colorado, utilizing EMDR therapy and traditional psychotherapy to help with whatever you choose to work on (trauma, PTSD, divorce, relationship issues, substance abuse/dependency, life changes/transitions, depression, anxiety, childhood issues, etc.). I began my clinical work at Austin Recovery, working with individuals facing addiction and the many issues underlying addictive behaviors. With this work, I developed a strong interest in helping individuals deal with past traumatic experiences and negative life events.

Now offering in-person Animal Assisted Therapy on Oahu! Transpersonal means “trans” transcend beyond the person “personal”. This style of therapy uses different modalities to work beyond the ego-self. It consists of working with 3 layers; the mind, body, and soul. This might look like hanging out with the animals at the sanctuary, EMDR, hypnosis, yoga, meditation, dreamwork, astrology, CBT, and other techniques to explore all levels of our experience.

I offer person-centered and contemplative psychotherapy and counseling for adolescents, adults, couples, and families. My therapy is focused on present-moment awareness and I believe that being in touch with one's emotions can heal past trauma and relieve future anxiety. I bring warmth, humor, and compassion to my clients.

Feeling lost? Feeling hopeless? Life is hard at times. We are all fighting our own unique battles. But your story is significant, and so is your journey toward healing. Whether you are navigating the complexities of relationships, coping with anxiety, depression, other mental health issues, or simply seeking personal growth, together we will find the path toward positive change. My goal is to empower you to embrace your narrative, rewrite the chapters that no longer serve you, and cultivate a life of authenticity and resilience.

I work with the notion that people are naturally motivated to find meaning in their lives. As people search for meaning they may suffer emotionally, spiritually and psychologically and respond reactively rather than attentively. Counseling is a way to observe the reactive patterns in your life that are causing you to suffer. I will support you in discovering options to your life's challenges. I provide a place for you to observe and practice alternative ways of self-expression and I work with you towards solutions that will empower you to make the changes you want in your life. Models used: IFS, CBT and ACT

My clients are folks longing to navigate life's challenges with clarity and meaning. I see psychotherapy as a digestive enzyme that helps people process all that life is asking of them. It can be transformative to be heard and supported (and sometimes challenged) by a therapist. My relational and existential approach is also warm, creative, and non-judgmental. Confidentiality is the cornerstone of therapy, and one size doesn’t fit all, so I offer a collaborative approach that works with each client's preference for how they like to be supported.

On the outside, you look super successful, likely the poster child for how things “ought to be”. You went to a good school, have a rewarding career and maybe got married and had some amazing kids. You have done what you expected would make you FEEL accomplished, grateful, and happy. Except that you don’t. Lately, coloring inside the lines isn’t giving you the same ‘HIT’ it used to. Instead, you are wondering “Whose rules are these anyway and why do I need to keep following them?” The gap between what is expected and how you truly feel inside keeps growing wider. You're tired- and feeling alone, disillusioned, and conned.

Broken relationships, tragic events, deep rejection, and unspeakable abuse all contribute to the unrest and pain in your life. I believe there is hope for healing, reunion with others, and a way to awaken the deep longings and desires of your heart even if the events and people of your past tell you otherwise. I strive for counseling to be a pathway for you to have a life characterized by wholeness, vulnerability, and risk. Although I use the same clinical grid as most counselors, I hold a Christian world view that influences my counseling orientation.

With expert help, you can discover how to cultivate better emotional, mental, and energetic balance. Sessions support personal growth, self-acceptance, anxiety reduction, self-love, self-trust, and conscious creation. Improve your emotional health and relationship with yourself and others. Mind-body techniques provide rebalancing. Learn about choosing and allowing. Live fully in the now. Thrive as a conscious human on your journey. Learn to deepen your connection to your intuition, knowingness, heart, soul/spirit, and/or inner wisdom.

Born in North Carolina and raised in Georgia. Erica is half Okinawaiian Japanese and American Russian Jew. She graduated from Naropa University with an MA in Mindfulness-based Transpersonal Counseling. With great attention to what makes each of us unique, Erica loves to support clients in feeling more whole as themselves. Our journeys as humans can feel quite isolating and confusing. Erica has had the training to work with cases involving human rights, social justice, and domestic violence.

At one point or another, we discover that life is full of ups and downs.  The bad news is that no matter how hard we try to hold on to the good times and avoid the bad times, both seem to eventually dissolve into the other.  The good news is that this isn't a problem and doesn't need to be feared.  Successful therapy helps clients learn to understand how our lives flow, clarifies the confusion that comes when things feel particularly stuck and unsettled, and helps to draw out the wisdom of our mind, body, and spirit.

Have you survived a childhood of emotional neglect? Emotional neglect in childhood can lead to a great deal of confusion in adult life. Aftereffects may include a drive to prove oneself through over-achievement, excessive self-doubt and criticism, and a disconnection from one's own needs. These aftereffects can be exacerbated if one or both parents were narcissistic. For many women, providing care-giving in relationships is not a choice; it is our sole identity. It may be the only way we feel valued. Let's resolve the grief and loss surrounding your history, so that you can live to your full potential, find inner harmony and peace.

I specialize in guiding individuals, relationships, and families as they navigate significant life transitions including changes in career, relationship, gender & sexuality, as well as coming into greater purpose and passion in life. Our work together may be short-term or medium-term as I support you to process an ending or to build a new beginning. Your work with me may include developing a therapeutic connection with horses, who can powerfully support you to come into deeper contact with yourself, your goals, and your needs.

It often takes incredible courage to seek support when facing difficulties. Life can throw a lot at us that can leave us feeling discouraged, alone, and unsure of how to approach things. We will roll up our sleeves and do the hard work of therapy in order to process experiences, identify barriers and patterns, and explore strategies and resources for finding a way forward.
