Ensouled Counseling
Relational, Trauma-informed & Integrative
Therapy that keeps the Soul in Mind
Therapy Services in Boulder, CO
Embracing each person’s unique journey toward wholeness lies at the heart of our therapeutic practice. With a deep sense of empathy and curiosity, we aim to understand the challenges and negative cycles that may be hindering your progress. We recognize that seeking clarity in the midst of struggle can feel overwhelmingly lonely; that’s why we’re here—to walk with you, side by side, as we uncover and gently let go of patterns and behaviors that no longer serve your highest good.
Together, we will navigate towards a brighter, more expansive horizon. Our journey in therapy is a delicate dance of harmonizing the emotional with the rational, weaving together the mind, body, and spirit into a tapestry of well-being. Our philosophy is rooted in the belief that finding this balance, this deep integration of every part of ourselves, is essential to uncovering the rich, meaningful life you deserve.
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 are seeking is an experience of being alive, so that our life experiences on the purely physical plane will have resonance with our innermost being and reality, so that we actually feel the rapture of being alive.”
– Joseph Campbell
