INTEGRATIVE COUNSELING · COLORADO
Embrace your True Essence.
Integrative Counseling for your Whole Self
Are you tired of figuring it out alone?
You are tired of the constant self-improvement project. But, you also don't want to give it up. You feel alone, worried, anxious. You overthink everything and second-guess yourself.
You worry about making the wrong decision or messing up your life or your relationships. You feel caught between being true to yourself and keeping those who matter close. Perhaps you've experienced trauma, feel anxious or sensitive to the world, are exploring layers of your identity, feel empty and want more out of life. Or, you want to expand into your dreams but keep getting scared or stuck.
We get these feelings. And we know how to help you get out of your head, find your center, heal what's holding you back, and feel confident in your next move.
At True Essence Therapy, we believe in going beyond talk therapy. Our inclusive, trauma-informed, and creative embodied approach is designed to help you align with your truth. Fostering a vibrant and nourishing life that reflects your innermost desires and values.
Our mission is to help every person — of all identities, orientations, and backgrounds — feel a genuine sense of belonging, be truly celebrated, and receive high quality, cutting-edge, affirming therapeutic care that promotes a life of more ease, heart, and energy.
Specialties We Provide.
You don’t need to do this alone.
If you feel drawn to what we have to offer, have a question, want to meet with one of us to talk about the possibility of collaborating together on your journey, or want to take the brave next step…reach out to learn more or schedule. There is never any pressure, we trust your timing.

What Makes Us Unique
We draw from creative embodied practices, clinical knowledge, and evidence-based approaches that honor lived experiences. And, we also view our work from an “artist’s perspective” — seeing each person as a unique expression in the world.
We aim to support the development of that expression, helping you experiment with ways of being, and engage with life from a place of creativity, attunement, and possibility.
