Hakomi Method Therapists in Denver, 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.

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.

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.

Denver's outdoor culture and apparent wellness orientation coexist with high rates of depression, anxiety, and substance use — a tension many locals recognize. The city's rapid growth and housing pressures have intensified stress for longtime residents and newcomers alike, and therapists frequently address adjustment, relationship strain, and burnout tied to the city's boom-era pace. Denver has a significant veteran population given proximity to several military installations, and therapists specializing in military trauma and PTSD are well represented. UCHealth and Intermountain Health (formerly SCL Health) provide major institutional anchors alongside Denver's large and well-established independent therapy community.
