As a queer, transgender and neurodivergent clinician, I understand how these identities impact every aspect of our lives, from how we see ourselves to how we show up in our relationships. I would be honored to join you on your journey inward, as you get to know the most authentic version of your Self. I intertwine parts work, mindfulness and somatic based interventions through a trauma informed lens. I am a Certified Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy Practitioner currently offering ketamine assisted psychotherapy (psilocybin coming soon). I am here to support you every step of the way, from preparation to dosing to integration. My specialties include navigating grief, identity, transition, relationships, anxiety and depression.

Often times folks in marginalized communities are forced to choose between attachment and authenticity. The work I do with my clients aims to bridge that gap by fostering a deeper connection to the self. The more we are in touch with our authenticity, the better we can communicate our needs and desires to others. Developing a sense of self-compassion is the cornerstone to loving and accepting ourselves as we are.

I work through a client centered approach which assumes my clients are the experts in who they are. Through mindfulness practice and connection to the natural world, clients will begin to understand themselves in a new light. This deeper insight helps to foster the fertile ground needing for healing. I am committed to providing a non-judgmental and empathic space for clients to explore their inner world. Through a collaborative process, I aim to help my clients find the tools to regulate their nervous system and achieve their therapeutic goals.

Archuleta

LPC

He/They

After confronting devastating questions of sexuality and gender with parents who pastored a conservative church, Isaac quickly realized there were very few resources for his family. He also learned that there were very few safe places where he could learn about his true identity without judgment or predetermined agendas. Over 10 years later, Isaac has grown the iAmClinic team to 10+ therapists and launched a sister company, iAmCouncil, to provide life and relationship coaching to individuals nationwide!

I chose counseling because I was once a young closeted kid that felt incredibly lonely, anxious, and lost. In wanting to heal and grow, it was important for me to find the answers for kids like me and families like mine, so that we could all experience the true connection and utter satisfaction I so deeply craved. It was with this motivation that iAmClinic was born. Before iAmClinic and the completion of my graduate studies, I spent time working in Child Protection and served as a project supervisor for a counseling program in the nonprofit world. I also worked in the main operating room at The Children’s Hospital.

As a professional counselor, I use the techniques and insights given to the field of talk therapy by seminal authors/researchers like Pia Mellody, Terrence Real, Peter Levine, and Bessel van der Kolk. I interweave research-based modalities like Neurofeedback, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, and Somatic Experiencing, as well as empirically-based theories such as Attachment Theory, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Feminist Theory into my practice. As I stepped out of the closet with anxiety, depression, and many unwanted behavioral patterns, I saw my healing journey as not only personally necessary, but as professionally worth it. I not only wanted to talk the talk, but also walk the walk. And as a clinician I believe it is important to be equipped with the knowledge, treatment interventions, and the skills to be effective in all facets of my clients lives so that I can offer the healing that changed my life to others. I believe in therapy, not because I have read a bunch of books, but because I am one major success story. When clients walk out of my office for the last time, I want them to feel the same liberty, connectedness, and internal peace therapy helped me discover.

They/Them

Therapy can help us discover our authentic selves and craft a meaningful existence. I work with adults who seek to deepen their relationship to self, as well as their connection to others. My therapeutic practice challenges the idea that we must strive for perfection through productivity and instead asks: Where are these pressures coming from? How can we learn to recognize our inner voice and desires? How do we live a life that is aligned with our values?

How can we learn to recognize our inner voice and desires? How do we live a life that is aligned with our values? My identities as a white, non-binary-trans, queer therapist and educator greatly inform my practice. Some of my specific focus areas are: life/identity/career transitions, gender, sexuality, grief-and-loss, anxiety, and depression. Therapeutic modalities I rely on include Person-Centered, Humanistic Existential, Trauma Informed Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Brief Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Internal Family Systems. I accept individual and relationship(s) clients ages 18 and up. My counseling philosophy combines intersectional feminist practices with existential meaning-making. Together, we will confront ideas such as choice, power, freedom, responsibility, and self-acceptance.

My goal is to create an inclusive space where your identities are welcomed and celebrated. My background as a professional educator informs much of the work I do with clients and I strive to incorporate systems based perspectives into the counseling space in an effort to highlight oppressive forces and deconstruct societal expectations. I hold a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Colorado, Denver and am a Licensed Professional Counselor Candidate in the state of Colorado. Outside the office, you can usually find me surrounded by food, friends, books, and community.
