Change is possible.
Find clarity. Choose connection. Build Hope.
Good to see you here.
Thinking about change is already a meaningful first step—you’ve
noticed something in your life could feel better. Many people today feel weighed down
by constant demands, distractions, and disconnection. Counseling offers a place to
pause, feel heard, and begin discovering new ways to care for yourself and your
relationships. Together, we can explore what’s possible so life feels more peaceful,
connected, and meaningful.
If you are seeking greater mental and emotional wellness for yourself and your family, schedule a free consultation to discuss how counseling might help.

Mission Statement
Longmont Counseling Center strives to provide highly collaborative and empowering mental health counseling and coaching for individuals and families of the greater Longmont area.
Clarity: The way we perceive ourselves is powerful.
Ways of believing and operating that once
helped us survive but now hold us back. Therapy can help integrate these experiences, using
approaches such as the Adaptive Information Processing (AIP) model, EMDR, Internal Family Systems
(IFS), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). These tools support processing difficult memories,
understanding the impact of past experiences on current thoughts and behaviors, and creating clearer,
more intentional connections between our values and actions.
Connection: Life can leave us running on autopilot, disconnected from our bodies, emotions, and needs.
Learning to understand and accept our own experiences takes practice, especially when
survival strategies feel automatic. Using mindfulness and Internal Family Systems (IFS) techniques, we
can reconnect with ourselves, uncover hidden parts of our story, and rebuild relationships with others.
Change: If everyday challenges feel overwhelming or impossible--know you are not alone.
Many adults
and youth struggle with mental wellness each year, often as a result of unprocessed trauma.
Counseling provides personalized support to identify goals, build coping strategies, and restore hope.
Through therapy, what once felt impossible can begin to feel manageable. Small steps can lead to
lasting change and resilience.
