Therapists in Louisville, CO

To the deep feelers and thinkers, those who notice things that others miss, I see you. 30% of us are born with more finely-tuned nervous systems than others, yet most of us have been made to feel different, strange, and "too sensitive". If you often get overwhelmed by life and the chaos of the world, there's absolutely nothing wrong with you. I love helping Highly Sensitive People (HSPs) and others with neurodiverse brains understand themselves in light of their sensitivity, heal from past trauma, and gain the self-trust to soar.

I love working with couples! A flourishing relationship gives us access to a more fulfilled life. When we feel seen, understood and supported...we thrive! In couples work, we better our skills in communication, vulnerability and emotional regulation...the result: more empathy, patience, forgiveness, tolerance and resiliency during painful anger, conflict and difference. It is my sole purpose to help individuals cultivate meaningful connection and trust within themselves and their partners. Don't let old stories and stuck behavior keep you from learning, expanding and healing. I do believe in hope and transformation!

As a licensed psychologist with over 20 years of experience working with individuals and couples, I take an active approach to the psychotherapeutic process. My style is to create rapid problem identification and resolution. Depending upon the needs of the client, this solution-focused approach may involve cognitive, behavioral, or insight-oriented interventions. Some clients will obtain symptom relief and significant life change in a few sessions, whereas others may require or desire longer-term treatment to achieve or maintain gains. Whether I am working with an individual or a couple, addressing relationship issues is a primary focus of my practice.

WELCOME! I ENJOY WORKING WITH INDIVIDUALS who are motivated to learn about themselves and their relationships~to their partner, family, work, creative endeavors and/or physical health. CLIENTS report that they appreciate my humor, compassion and interactive style. TOGETHER, we explore how specific patterns may be at the root of emotional, interpersonal and/or physical challenges. TO BRIDGE THE GAP that often occurs between insight and transformative change, I draw from my background in the MEDICAL FIELD, as well as from NEURO("BRAIN")SCIENCE, MINDFULNESS PRACTICES and current research regarding the intricate RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PHYSICAL AND EMOTIONAL HEALTH.

I specialize in blending somatic trauma therapy and attachment repatterning. This kind of work is most effective in treating issues that traditional talk therapy has the hardest time treating. Incorporating ketamine into this approach allows quicker access to incredibly deep and subtle personal material.

Greetings and thanks for exploring my counseling practice. While the majority of my clients are between the ages of 5 and 15, I also work with older kids and adults on their own issues, parenting practices, stress and anxiety management, and more. Whether you are looking for an empathic ear or concrete coping strategies for yourself or your child, I use a strength-based and person-centered approach to psychotherapy. Please note that I do not accept any insurance payments, but instead accept cash, checks or digital currency (Venmo, e.g.).

Take time to relax and be confident I can effectively serve your mental health needs through 13 years of experience working with ADHD, anxiety, substance abuse/addictions, parenting difficulties, depression, and relationship difficulties. In our sessions we will work collaboratively to help you feel better, more relaxed, to improve the quality of your life, and ultimately to increase your hope. I will be as practical as possible for your benefit. You should contact me if you are ready to experience deep and long-lasting change!

I provide effective, supportive counseling services for adults, individually and in couples, assisting clients with a range of life issues, including: relationships; communication; grief and loss; trauma; life adjustments and transitions; depression; anxiety; substance abuse and addictions; and stress and anger management. My goals are to support clients in developing self-awareness; building interpersonal skills; resolving past trauma; promoting effective decision-making and problem-solving; deepening emotional and psychological wellbeing; achieving personal balance and improving overall quality-of-life. I welcome your inquiries about my work and the opportunity to discuss how I can be of service.

I have over 35 years of experience helping individuals and couples with their personal growth and have enjoyed every minute of it! After receiving my PhD in Clinical Psychology, I went on to receive certification in Stress management, Biofeedback therapy, Emotional Trauma and PTSD, Mind-Body Medicine, EMDR therapy, Brainspotting, Bereavement Therapy, and Couples therapy. As a Certified Biofeedback Therapist, I treat all stress related illness with very good results.

Each of us face difficulties we are not prepared for, creating chronic stress and anxiety that wears us down. We feel the impact in our bodies. We have difficulty focusing our mind. These are symptoms that I am trained to heal. My expertise in somatic therapy and down to earth approach will bring relief from the emotional pain, physical effects and scars of trauma. Our work together makes it possible to develop a stronger sense of self and deepen meaningful connection to others.

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 am, first and foremost, a highly trained Christian Therapist. For over thirty years I have worked with couples, individuals, and families helping put an anchor back into their lives. As a Marriage and Family Therapist who is licensed in both Colorado and California, I have two Masters degrees: a Masters of Science in Marriage and Family Therapy and a Masters of Divinity (a three-year ministerial academic training) both earned from Fuller Seminary in Pasadena, California that has been coined “The Princeton of the West”. I use a "systems" approach to marriage and family therapy which means I view each person as part of a whole.

Life is full of challenges. I believe these challenges can also be stepping stones to our own personal growth. Whether stress from a job, a relationship issue or perhaps experiencing depression or anxiety, everyone deserves to have a non-judgmental, safe place to be able to talk. As a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, I strive to make my office a comfortable environment where those "hard conversations" can happen, resulting in a deeper understanding of what roles we play in relationships as well as how our thoughts impact how we feel and act.

Hello and Welcome! My name is Shawn Perkin. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor here in Boulder, Colorado. I have been providing father support here in Boulder County for well over the past decade. Becoming and being a father can be the most rewarding and the most challenging part of our lives. Balancing the requests and demands of our partners, children, employers, society and even ourselves oftentimes leaves us fathers feeling overworked, under appreciated, and even isolated; not knowing which direction to turn and rarely daring to ask for help.

As an individual and couple therapist, Licensed Professional Counselor, EMDR trained therapist and Certified Integrative Wellness and Life Coach, I believe we all possess the inner strength and ability to make positive changes in our lives. Together we can explore life events, relationship difficulties, or behavior patterns that are leaving you feeling stuck, overwhelmed or unhappy. Through our time spent together in a supportive and safe environment, I can help you to discover new insight and understanding, while learning new ways to approach life or relationship challenges.

I have more than 30 years of experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and families. My expertise is in treating trauma and attachment issues but I am adept at helping with anxiety, depression, and adjusting to a current life crisis such as divorce and loss. Another area of expertise is working with children, especially children between 0 and 6.

Relationships create the foundation of our lives throughout our entire existence. In fact, our earliest relationships can impact nearly every future interaction we have. If you have questions, concerns, or curiosities about any of your relationships - with your partner, children, extended family, or friends - working with a therapist specially trained in attachment work can change your life. Finding a therapist who really understands you, and what you are going through, is imperative in attachment work. Find someone who will both deeply support you and gently challenge you when you are on the edge of growth.
