Find a Therapist in Erie, CO

I encourage a safe, nurturing environment free of judgment. I get to the bottom of what's troubling you and use all the resources I can find to help support you and guide you to a happier you, and the life you want. It's a collaborative process.

I always meet clients where they are at and tailor therapy the same way. I create a safe, non-judgmental, and direct therapeutic approach. I also utilize humor in therapy, to help soften some of the vulnerabilities that come along with therapy.

Are you ready to transform shadows into strengths and claim your hidden gifts? I'm Casey, a somatic therapist in Boulder specializing in relational trauma and power reclamation. The healing journey is a dance to discover the authentic voice within. I offer somatic trauma-informed, client-centered therapy for adults, couples, and older teens (15+), grounded in social justice and an inclusive, multicultural approach. As a USABP somatic psychotherapist, now offering EMDR, I bring a deep understanding of how trauma resides in the body and how our parts interact with each other and the world. I guide healing through Somatic, Jungian and Transpersonal lenses blending in parts work theories such as IFS and Gestalt. My approach embraces dreams, tarot, astrology, art, poetry, and symbols to enrich your healing process, creating a supportive space for profound growth. Holistic transformation includes recognizing the soul's potential for healing.

I will support you as we work to discover your inner strengths and address the underlying issues that create pain and dissatisfaction in your life. The decision to feel better and make meaningful changes takes courage and I have a deep respect for those who choose therapy. In our work together, you will discover your inner strengths and learn important skills that alleviate distress and allow you to experience more happiness, peace, and satisfaction.

Our Denver therapists are experts in helping clients build self-awareness in order to address the root of their problems through EMDR. Good therapy often involves a multifaceted approach to get to the core root of problems. More than "talk-therapy" our approach involves building safety, learning tools for self-regulation, healing old wounds (trauma), and integrating these treatment gains for a strengthened sense of core identity.

Do you feel the lingering depression and anxiety even though it's no where near as bad as it was? Is it time to deal with all that stuff you've been trying to avoid? Stuffing down only works for so long; until the anxiety and spinning thoughts become overwhelming. Are you scrambling for anything to "make the feelings go away", leaving you panicky and feeling out of control? Naturally, we begin to question our self-worth. Together we'll get you feeling better about yourself, so you can feel better about your life. "Breakdowns" typically don't happen out of the blue. We develop coping skills to get through the day that work really well! Until they don't. I provide the framework for you to understand these old patterns, so you can create more helpful, long-lasting, and effective ways of being for your life NOW. My hope for you is to regain your self-confidence, decrease anxiety, and feel less fearful of your emotions; so you GET BACK CONTROL OF YOUR LIFE.

Life has a way of forcing us to confront things which we believed we already overcame. Sometimes we look at ourselves and think, "how did I get here?". We can become so complacent and comfortable with discomfort that it becomes our new normal, forming our views and behaviors without our knowledge it's even happening. Sometimes we all just need an accepting and neutral person to process life with in order to regain control and understanding. We will work together to build respect and trust. I believe that counseling is not giving a hand to a person sitting in the mud, it's sitting in the mud with them and getting out together. My greatest strength as a counselor is my genuine acceptance of every client in a truly non-judgemental manner. I have successfully worked with many clients with a plethora of presenting concerns. I build trusting, open, and honest relationships with clients first, in order to facilitate growth and change. I know how difficult it can be to share a struggle with someone, I have been there myself, but know that each step taken is progress in the right direction. Give yourself credit for getting this far! I would love to chat to see if we are a good fit or if there's anything I could do to help find your best fit with your journey in counseling.

If you're reading this, then you're seeking help for yourself or a loved one. Welcome, and I hope I can be of service. I work with complex trauma, dissociation, anxiety, depression, addiction, spiritual emergence and emergency, life transitions, and couples' issues. I think about my clients as collaborators in their healing. We're working together, alongside the compassionate intelligence of life, to help you address your suffering and become more aligned with your innate wholeness. I'm passionate about somatic psychology, parts work, relational healing, and any form of spirituality that enlivens your life. I know that talk therapy has its limits, which is why I also work experientially. Healing and awakening are organic life processes. Just like a seed, they simply need the right conditions to sprout, grow, and blossom. I offer free 30-minute consultations so that we can clarify what brings you to therapy and how I can help. If price is an issue, don't hesitate to reach out as I take multiple insurances and provide a sliding scale to those who can't afford my fee. I look forward to meeting you. None of us should have to walk our healing and awakening paths alone. Let's journey together.

Are you wanting different but keep repeating the same patterns? Do you feel stuck? Do you notice yourself feeling alone, withdrawn, andor anxious? Are past relationship wounds feeling impossible to overcome? Are your emotions causing overwhelm? Are you craving deeper connection and meaning in your life and relationships? Relationships are the most powerful and impactful contributor to our lives, and this includes the relationship to self. I help individuals, couples, and families build a more fulfilling and intentional life, working through the barriers that have led to disconnection from yourself and within your relationships by creating new ways to connect to self, others, and their goals. I believe each client has inherent wisdom, resiliency, and resources within themselves, and my job is to help clients tap into that. My goal is to go beyond the symptoms to uncover and address the root issues causing dissatisfaction, bridging the gap between where you are and where you would like to be. I use an integrated approach of emotionally-focused therapy (EFT), internal family systems (IFS), narrative therapy, and brainspotting. As I strongly believe that true change happens when the nervous system is also addressed, I integrate somatic work in session where possible to build on the mind-body connection. At the core of my work as a relationship therapist is attachment; I view symptoms you are experiencing as adaptions to survive and manage the systems and relationships you've experienced andor are currently in.

Over my decade as a therapist, I have worked with various clients, focusing on grief and loss stemming from life changes and transitions. I believe that our life experiences shape who we are, and to feel whole, we need to examine different parts of ourselves. I help you explore these aspects by assisting you in crafting and narrating your own life story. While I have a strong passion for working with teens and young adults, I am confident in my ability to support individuals at all stages of life. I also acknowledge the impact of trauma on these narratives and believe in the importance of healing from trauma. My goal is to help you navigate your own path. Therapy can be one of the most powerful, terrifying, and enlightening experiences. I see my role as a therapist as one of empathy and guidance, helping you find your own empowerment. I strive to be an engaged and curious therapist, asking thoughtful questions to create a safe environment for you. I often use humor to help us face the difficulties we encounter together. This is your journey, and I am here as a guide, utilizing connection, knowledge, and humor to support you along the way. I would love to set up a consultation call or a first appointment to answer any questions or help you begin your therapeutic journey.

I believe that no two people experience the world in exactly the same way, and that many of those differences are often labeled as a negative simply because they do not fit into whatever current definition of “normal” dominates mainstream culture. I want to empower those individuals to embrace their experience of the world as valid and identify new ways to successfully navigate the world on their terms. I consider myself an eclectic and humanist therapist -- I draw on whatever is best going to serve the person I'm working with all while assuming the best in them. I rely on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Narrative Theory quite a bit, as I believe our thoughts and the stories we tell ourselves are powerful ---- the ability to change them even a little to give ourselves the upper hand has the potential to be life changing. I also lean into Dialectic Behavioral Therapy (DBT), as I like how it allows for us to account for the less than desirable circumstances we sometimes find ourselves in without placing blame. Plus, it allows me to incorporate Mindfulness skills and other behavioral skills that some folks find extremely helpful.

We approach the counseling process from a collaborative perspective. We believe a strong therapeutic relationship with you creates a space for deep self-reflection, awareness, and growth. Through humor, metaphors, and experiential activities, we help you develop the ability to engage in the present moment so you can decide whether a behavior is consistent with your values. Through acceptance and mindfulness practices, we identify "how" you think about experiences to help create flexibility in moving toward personal growth and development. Our approach is to provide support and practical feedback to help you effectively address personal life challenges. We integrate complementary methodologies and techniques to offer a personalized approach. With compassion and understanding, we work with each individual to build on their values and strengths to attain personal growth.
