Pamela Silsby-Sharkey
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, NCC
I am passionate about working with women who want more out of their lives. By empowering my clients, they are able to shift their focus and begin to attract what they do want into their lives rather than continue to create what they do not want in their lives.

Somatic Spiritual Counseling
Counselor/Therapist, MDiv, SEPc, Registered Psychotherapist
At Somatic Spiritual Counseling, we offer mindfulness- and body-based therapy for people who want to understand themselves more deeply and feel more at home in their lives. Our practitioners bring different specialties to the work, including somatic trauma therapy, couples counseling, support for depression and anxiety, transpersonal psychology, LGBTQ+ concerns, spirituality, and spiritual emergence.
Rather than focusing only on the stories you tell about what has happened, we at Somatic Spiritual Counseling also pay attention to what your body and nervous system are communicating. Through somatic healing, mindfulness, and compassionate exploration of unconscious patterns and beliefs, we help you work with what may be difficult to reach through talk therapy alone. Our approach to somatic spiritual counseling is grounded, individualized, and designed to support meaningful, lasting change.

Rocky Mountain Counseling Services
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
With over 25 years of experience helping individuals, teens, and families navigate life’s challenges, I offer a warm, compassionate, and effective approach to therapy. I specialize in supporting women in all stages, midlife and beyond, as they move through transitions such as divorce, parenting changes, and the empty nest stage, as well as addressing anxiety, depression, mood changes, trauma, and relationship concerns.
In addition to traditional therapy, I am a Licensed Plant Medicine Facilitator in Training offering psychedelic-assisted therapy, including ketamine and psilocybin therapy. These modalities have been shown to help reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, and trauma while fostering greater connection, healing, and self-understanding. My approach combines deep respect for these medicines with evidence-based therapeutic support in a safe, nurturing environment.
I am also co-founder of Wellness and Wisdom Journeys, where I lead wellness retreats for women in Colorado and internationally. These small, carefully curated retreats weave together yoga, somatic practices, creative expression, and guided healing experiences designed to reconnect mind, body, and spirit.
Whether you’re seeking healing, renewal, or greater meaning in your life, I offer a safe space to explore your journey with care and compassion.

Denver Wellness Counseling
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
Here at Denver Wellness Counseling, our therapists prioritize both the importance of the therapeutic relationship and the need for research-backed interventions so clients can finally make the gains they are hoping for. Many of our clients find us after years of "talk therapy" and a readiness to do "deeper work." We are happy to help and know how to guide that process.
Our therapists specialize in EMDR therapy, which they thoughtfully combine with other modalities to meet the unique needs of their clients. Therapy can look a number of ways, but will typically include tools for building self-awareness, cultivating internal sources of strength, healing old wounds (EMDR), and integrating treatment gains into present day systems and relationships.
Yes, we consider ourselves "trauma" therapists, yet we purposely expand the trauma definition to include ANY life event that has shifted one's sense of safety, choice (control), or identity. We work to help clients heal wounding from any developmental stage of life, even those that occurred prior to explicit memory (pre-verbal experiences), or recent events from the past few weeks or months.

Tori Buckley
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
I mostly work with clients living and loving in unconventional ways (including artists, entrepreneurs, highly sensitive people & spiritual types) and work to cultivate a safe place for all people, most frequently working with clients in queer, ethically non-monogamous, & kinky relationships. Most of my clients are wanting to work on issues mostly unrelated to but within the context of these communities and lifestyles, and are tired of spending so much time explaining the context to therapists unfamiliar with their world. I also work with folks looking to explore these aspects of themselves for the first time.

Jillian Lees
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
My therapeutic approach focuses on the whole person. Specifically, working with female millennial clients. We carry many different identities within ourselves. I want to assist, through a strengths' based approach, on how you can feel better and obtain greater awareness of your thoughts and behaviors, and why we think and act in certain ways. I work in a collaborative manner with clients, on what may work best for their individual healing. My therapeutic approaches include solutions focused, humanistic, and mindfulness. But I tailor therapy sessions to the individual person, so some therapeutic approaches may be outside of this box.

Susan Stone
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
I work with adults from every walk of life and in diverse circumstances. What nearly all have in common is that they tell me that things don’t feel manageable anymore. Life has gotten out of hand, and feelings like anxiety, self-doubt, depression, and disappointment seem to be taking over – if they haven’t already. Some might think they are “going crazy!” Others feel selfish because they crave self-care and a break from never being enough.
My job (and privilege) is to come alongside you to provide support, feedback, and help you better understand things and make plans to improve things. Sometimes, I will validate feelings that you’ve discounted or point out challenges you’ve grown so accustomed to that you brush them aside, even though they are part of what trips you up. Together, we’ll gain perspectives and insights about how to make things better.
In session, we will review the week for clues about what to focus on. We will talk about how things went and how they could have turned out better. I’ll ask many questions, listen a lot, and work with you to identify options for improving life. You’ll tear up sometimes, but you’ll be surprised how often we chuckle.

Carrie Gauthier
Hypnotherapist, Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist, CCHt
Fear, anxiety, anger, shame, guilt, sadness; we are taught to repress these uncomfortable emotions and mask our pain. When these BIG emotions are shoved down for so long, they try to get our attention in various ways. We push back harder. They often manifest as maladaptive behaviors, habits, addictions, and even chronic physical and psychological conditions. We may overeat, overwork, over-promise, people-please, self-sabotage, be unable to focus, thrill-seek, put ourselves in danger, act out, procrastinate, deplete our own resources, and more. The majority of this type of unwanted behavior and thinking often can be traced back to some form of trauma, abuse, abandonment, or neglect. My hypnotherapy sessions help to process the emotions in a safe and loving way, and facilitate healing; so you feel safe in your own mind and comfortable in your own skin. We simultaneously work on reframing the debilitating thoughts and behaviors with healthy and supportive new ones that support your new goals. It is in this way we let go of the old stories and rewrite the future of our dreams.
