Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapists in Louisville, CO

I have decades of experience in the fields of personal growth (since 1990) and mental health (2004); I've developed an approach based on Internal Family Systems (IFS), gestalt, and other models, called Conscious Heart Integration (CHI). It's gentle and transformative, and many clients say it's different than anything else they've tried. CHI goes beyond talk therapy. Of course, effective treatment includes being witnessed, heard, and deeply understood, but there is much more possible in healing spaces. Somatic, parts-based, and transpersonal models have opened the door for more experiential, holistic, and transformational treatment.

Hi There! When it comes to therapy, I’m all about blending different approaches to create a space that feels just right for healing and growth. I work to support both children and caregivers on navigating the complexities of childhood. My mission is to make sure every child feels heard, understood, and supported on their journey through life.

Louisville Family Center offers therapy to children, teens, individuals, couples and families. We embrace a compassionate, heart-centered approach to therapy. We engage with our clients on their unique journeys, employing evidence-based practices that blend empathetic listening with strategic interventions

I love working with adults, couples and teens who are ready to dive deep! With 8 years of experience in the therapy field, I specialize in aiding individuals dealing with a range of challenges. These include- PTSD, narcissistic abuse, sexual abuse, sexual issues, complex grief, OCD, anxiety, co-dependency, attachment, depression, and various personality disorders. My expertise extends to existential and spiritual crises, women’s issues, toxic relationships, racial oppression, men’s issues, couples therapy, and paranormal activity. In the realm of forensics, I've worked with both perpetrators of sexual offenses and victims of crime.

I'm here to offer you a little hope - with some self exploration and support, I believe that it’s possible to find harmony in this chaotic world. I offer a nonjudgmental, openminded space where clients can explore the different parts of themselves, find their authentic self, learn how to establish boundaries, ask for what they need and in turn create healthy relationships with themselves and the people in their lives.

As a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT) and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP) trained in IFS, I am absolutely passionate about helping those impacted by sexual integrity issues. I work with "addicted parts" using individual, couple, and group therapy modalities. I am quite aware of relational trauma that partners of sex, porn, and relationship addicts experience, and I compassionately work to guide addicted parts through isolating and shame-filled experiences. My role is to help reduce this shame and systematically get to the root of the addictive and compulsive behaviors that have led to intimacy disorder issues.

I love helping people feel better inside. When you're grounded, you're able to build deeper connections, resolve conflict patterns, and develop emotional agility. Feeling connected in relationships is an essential aspect of our emotional well being. My passion in the past 29 years, is helping clients develop relational mindfulness through exploring thoughts, feelings, past traumas, and early attachment patterns. My work is attachment-informed, IFS informed, and I'm trained in the Gottman Method. Together, we'll explore any depression and anxiety issues, strengthen self- acceptance, and build strong emotional awareness.

Welcome! Beginning therapy requires bravery, vulnerability, and strength. I commend you for taking this important step to help yourself heal. My goal as a therapist is to create a safe and supportive environment to help teens, young adults, and adults live happier, more fulfilling lives. I specialize in helping people process and overcome anxiety, depression, OCD, trauma/PTSD, challenging relationships, life transitions, and other issues by developing increased inner-compassion, self-awareness, and healthy thought patterns.

The focus of my work is helping people or a family member that is struggling with anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, and relational wounds that have had negative impacts on their relationships, overall emotional wellbeing, health, family, career, and other aspects of life. The symptoms of mental health and well being can involve a great deal of emotional pain, and suffering. I am passionate about you finding your self and full potential in all your challenges.

I utilize many different therapeutic approaches to tailor what treatment best fits my client's needs. I will work with individuals, families, and couples.

You come home from work and can't unwind - the stress of your day is keeping your thoughts churning and your anxiety up. You’re regularly on edge and binge-watching Netflix & drinking wine is not really working. It’s hard for you to enjoy your kids and partner because the anxious thoughts overrun you. It’s difficult to say no to co-workers and friends because you don’t want to let anyone down, but you’re exhausted. The to-do list keeps getting longer and there’s no real time for you – the life you thought you’d be living seems just out of your grasp.

I provide therapy and coaching for neurologically diverse adults and teens who may at times feel challenged, confused or exhausted by the social world. I enjoy helping clients to interpret the 'invisible' rules of social relationships, and to problem-solve practical challenges they may face at home, work, or school. I use EMDR therapy frequently for improving self-regulation, and for processing trauma or other past experiences that may be interfering with clients' daily life. I also provide consultation to parents and caregivers of individuals who are working on social cognition issues.

Carl Rogers said, when we accept ourselves as we are, then we can change. Focusing on the individual and their unique capability toward healing is the guiding approach I take in therapy. I work with great curiosity to explore the distractions and negative cycles that may be keeping you stuck. The struggle for clarity is a difficult one to navigate in isolation; together we can look at patterns and behaviors that no longer service you. The therapeutic process is one of finding balance between the emotional and rational, the mind and body and bringing that forward into our lives.

My approach is relationship based and experiential, and encourages you to take responsibility for the focus of each session. I help you illuminate current patterns of behavior, create opportunities to step out of your comfort zone, and increase self-awareness in order for you to make the choices you want for your life. I also help people deepen trust and connection in their personal relationships. My personal philosophy is rooted in Gestalt, Family Systems, Emotional Development, and Transpersonal theories. I also offer Equine-assisted psychotherapy. Working with horses can take us deeper into healing, awareness, and growth.

There is a gentle, compassionate process for developing a loving, trusting relationship with yourself. I would love to help you come home to yourself and access your own deep wisdom and guidance. Through this process you will learn to be with and appreciate all the parts of yourself, resolve internal conflicts, find balance within your psyche, release addictive/compulsive behaviors, and heal past traumas.

Hi! It is my goal to provide a safe and compassionate space for individuals seeking personal growth and emotional support. If you're navigating relationship issues, struggling with low self-esteem, battling anxiety or perfectionism, dealing with grief and loss, or simply going through life transitions, it is my goal to help you find inner balance and harmony. I believe in a holistic approach that values the interconnectedness of mind, body, and soul. Clients are the experts of their own experiences, and I trust in their innate healing process.

Together we will uncover what is holding you back and move in the direction of your happiness and goals. Are you challenged by a life transition? Feeling stuck in recurring patterns? Realizing you aren't living up to your potential, but unsure how to create lasting, positive change? Are you feeling anxious, depressed, overwhelmed, unclear about what to do next or how to handle a situation? Please call and let me help.

As humans, our desire for connection and belonging is innate, healthy and our birthright. Too often, parts of us seem to sabotage our relationships and peace of mind by utilizing old learned patterns, meant to protect, but now limiting our fullest expressions of love and security. When we explore, honor and understand the origins of these parts and turn toward them with compassion, we offer ourselves the opportunity to integrate and heal old wounds, to live and love in the present, informed by, but not limited by the past. I assist individuals and couples in transforming themselves and their relationships.
