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.

Dr. Kelsi Clayson
Psychologist, Psy.D.
My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and grounded in genuine connection—with a touch of humor along the way. I support clients through life’s challenges, including anxiety, depression, unresolved trauma, relational struggles, and major transitions. Together, we’ll explore the patterns that support your well-being and those that may be holding you back, always with a focus on your unique values, needs, and goals. Drawing from evidence-based therapies, I tailor our work to help you feel empowered, deepen self-understanding, and move toward meaningful change. Taking this step toward healing is courageous, and I’m here to walk alongside you as you create the life you want.

Gestalt
Individual and Couples Therapy
Psychologist, PhD
As a therapist who has been practicing for over 20 years, I have developed a well-honed approach, style, skillset, and flow, which helps to make your experience personalized, efficient, responsive, and often highly effective. I possess the intellect and experience to meet you where you are. I intentionally keep my practice small so that I can respond quickly to your needs. Most people do not reach out to therapists because they want to start therapy in 3 months; they probably needed to start yesterday! I can usually get you started within the week and offer flexible scheduling and evening appointments if necessary.

Amanda Etienne
Psychologist, Psy.D
If you're a woman who's spent years doing everything "right," (achieving, handling, holding it together...) you may have noticed that success didn't fill the gap you thought it would. I work with capable, high-achieving women who are realizing they want more than functioning: they want to actually know themselves, and to let the people in their life know them too.
Many of my clients grew up being told they were "too sensitive" or "too much." I believe sensitivity isn't the problem to manage away - it's a strength that got mislabeled, and often the very thing that makes deep connection possible. Together, we slow down enough to build a real relationship with yourself, not just a polished explanation of yourself.
I offer virtual therapy across Colorado, Washington, and all PSYPACT states, specializing in anxiety, perfectionism, and relational and sexual trauma. If you're ready to stop managing your sensitivity and start using it, I'd love to talk.
