Hakomi Method Therapists in Aurora, CO

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oregon with deep training in somatic approaches to healing. I specialize in helping people resolve the effects of stress and trauma so they can live with greater ease, felt sense of safety, and presence.

Welcome! I work with individuals, couples and groups across a wide variety of issues, including marriage and relationship counseling, trauma, psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy, ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, anxiety, and depression. I use mindfulness-based approaches rooted in the Hakomi Method with a focus on attachment and internal family systems. I have an informal style balanced between validating and warm as well as sharp and challenging. I will hold you accountable and help you develop your psychological weaknesses while building up your confidence in your strengths. I offer a free 30-minute consultation.

Healing isn't about fixing what's wrong with you - there is nothing wrong with you. Healing is permission to your nervous system to experience the safety, support, and connection it may have missed earlier in life. When the body begins to feel safe, many symptoms that once seemed unrelated can begin to make sense. Then you begin to heal and develop into your full potential. I create a safe space for you to slow down, settle, and be yourself. I help you make sense of complex experiences that seem disconnected so you can heal into wholeness.

Dr. Carol brings many years of experience in healthcare and mental health care, along with a broad range of therapeutic approaches and a holistic perspective. As a compassionate and engaged therapist, she helps clients explore the deeper patterns shaping their lives and learn to work with their strengths to find one's best life. Her areas of focus include depth psychology, inner work, nervous-system regulation, attachment concerns, repetitive patterns, trauma recovery, healthier thinking and living, and the emotional impact of medical issues.

Aurora is one of Colorado's most ethnically diverse cities and home to Buckley Space Force Base, creating a therapy community shaped by both military families and a remarkably multicultural civilian population that includes large communities from East Africa, Southeast Asia, and Latin America. The city's proximity to Denver and its own rapidly expanding healthcare sector — anchored by Children's Hospital Colorado and UCHealth University of Colorado Hospital on the Anschutz Medical Campus — give it significant institutional mental health resources and a large population of healthcare workers navigating occupational stress. Therapists experienced with military trauma, refugee resettlement, and bicultural identity serve distinct and important roles in Aurora's clinical landscape. The city's rapid growth has accelerated demand for therapists who specialize in life transitions and the challenges of building community in a fast-changing suburban environment.
