Psychotherapy
Psychotherapy is a way of understanding ourselves by exploring our thoughts, feelings, life experiences, relationships, and the difficulties we are facing. The therapist listens closely, not just to your words, but to the feelings behind them, the pauses, the recurring themes—like following the threads of a story that’s still being written. Over time, you begin to see how early relationships and unspoken emotions shape your current life. By bringing more attention to how the past impacts our present-day experiences and relationships, psychotherapy helps you understand yourself more clearly, feel more deeply, and find new ways to relate—to others and to yourself.
Couples Therapy
An honorable human relationship—that is, one in which two people have the right to use the word “love”—is a process, delicate, violent, often terrifying to both persons involved, a process of refining the truths they can tell each other.
-Adrienne Rich, On Lies, Secrets, and Silence. Selected Prose 1966-1978
In couples therapy, the aim is to listen—deeply—to what’s been lost, what’s still alive, and what’s aching to be heard and understood. It’s a space where each partner can speak and be heard, where we practice listening not just to the words that are said, but also to what lies beneath—the hopes, the hurts, the fears. With the help of a couples therapist, you begin to notice the patterns you’ve fallen into, dynamics that play on repeat automatically, and to understand how those dynamics relate to your history. We work with these patterns to help each of you feel more understood, seen, and heard in your relationship.
Whether you’re struggling with sexual incompatibility or lack of intimacy, infidelity or addiction, difficulties with finances or child-rearing, resentment or anger, couples therapy can help you improve your communication, have more emotional closeness, fight more constructively, and create a relationship where more of your needs and desires can be met.
Consultation
Clinical work can feel like a solitary practice. Therapists hold so much: the stories, the sorrows, the tangled questions. Supervision and consultation offer a space where the therapist brings the unsaid: the moments that felt murky, the sessions that felt stirring and sticky, the emotions that surprised or unsettled them. This is a place where her feelings about their work, her own responses to their clients, their worries about her practice can live and have breathing room.
I believe that good supervision is not about learning rules or techniques. The supervisor or consultant listens to the therapist’s listening, attunes to what is felt and what is enacted, and helps the therapist hear more deeply, see more clearly, feel more courageously. This is an apprenticeship of the therapist’s interiority too. Good supervision and consultation help therapists tend to themselves so they can more fully tend to others and return again and again to their own clinical work with more ease, confidence, and courage.
Group Therapy
Everybody is dealing with how much of their own aliveness they can bear and how much they need to anesthetize themselves.
Adam Phillips, Missing Out: In Praise of the Unlived Life
Unlike groups focused on advice or solutions, modern analytic group therapy invites members to stay curious about what arises between them. It’s a space where emotional honesty becomes the currency and where discomfort is gently explored rather than avoided. With the guidance of a skilled therapist, the group becomes a kind of emotional laboratory—where each reaction is a clue, each connection a chance for healing. Over time, the group becomes not just a place to speak, but a place to feel more fully, to risk being known, and to slowly grow into deeper, more authentic relationships—both inside and outside the group therapy space.
Process Group
This online psychotherapy group helps members use emotional exchanges with each other and the group leader to learn about themselves, their feelings about themselves and toward others. We work to understand you in the here and now. This group draws people who are interested in learning how to get their needs met in relationship, to set boundaries and stand up for themselves, to say difficult things more effectively, and build more intimacy with others.
Meets Tuesdays 5:15pm - 6:45pm MST
Training Group
The life and work of a therapist involves interconnected and sometimes competing goals to be a responsive, empathic therapist to our clients, to take care of ourselves and avoid burnout, and to create a stable, successful livelihood. Training groups provide an experiential environment to work with other dedicated clinicians to build more professional capacities and skills -- and develop a robust referral network. This group provides fuel and inspiration for building a practice you love and supports clinicians in managing the more difficult parts of this important work.
Meets Thursdays 8:00am - 9:30am MST
Beginning Thursday, September 4th, 2025
Co-led with:
Kathy Reedy LCSW, LMFT, CGP, AGPA-F
“People say that what we’re all seeking is a meaning for life. I don’t think that’s what we’re really seeking. I think that what we’re seeking is an experience of being alive, so that our life experiences on the purely physical plane will have resonances with our own innermost being and reality, so that we actually feel the rapture of being alive.”
― Joseph Campbell, The Power of Myth
