We see clients in our office in Boulder as well as online. Some specialities we treat in all ages are: OCD, anxiety, depression, BFRBs, and trauma/ptsd. Our clinicians have training in IFS, EMDR, CBT, DBT, ACT, solution-focused, as well as many other helpful modalities.
EMDR
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a psychotherapy that helps enable people to heal from disturbing life experiences, eradicating symptoms and emotional distress that plague individuals. Repeated studies show that by using EMDR people can experience the benefits of psychotherapy that once took years to make a difference.
It is widely assumed that severe emotional pain requires a long time to heal. EMDR therapy shows that the mind can in fact heal from psychological trauma much as the body recovers from physical trauma. The brain's information processing system naturally moves toward mental health. If the system is blocked or imbalanced by the impact of a disturbing event, the emotional wound festers and can cause intense suffering. Once the block is removed, healing resumes. Using the detailed protocols and procedures learned in EMDR training sessions, THRIVE clinicians help clients activate their natural healing processes.

Ketamine Assisted Therapy
Our clinicians are trained in the most cutting-edge, effective treatments in the field of mental health in order to help you make the most gains in the shortest time possible. THRIVE therapists collaborate with Skylight Psychedelics who prescribe ketamine to be used by clients exclusively in their therapists’ offices and are trained/certified in ketamine-assisted therapy.
Ketamine is now used extensively for many chronic mental health conditions such as depression, suicidality, anxiety, anxious bipolar depression (without mania), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), existential distress, and more. Your therapist will help guide you in your mental health journey to discover if Ketamine Assisted Therapy is right for you.
Anxiety Disorders, OCD, Phobias
Our lead therapist and clinic director, Brynn Miller Håkon, specializes in working with anxiety disorders, OCD and phobias. The gold standard in treatment for anxiety disorders, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, and anxiety disorders is Exposure Response Prevention therapy or ERP and Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT). In these evidenced-based approaches, meaning there is scientific research that demonstrates their effectiveness in the treatment of these mental health issues, the process is one in which you will work with your Brynn to carefully construct goals centered around areas in your life where you want to see change, areas where mental health might be holding you captive. Together you will work towards achieving these goals and getting back to living the life you want to live. Brynn will also teach you long term solutions for looking at your thoughts and feelings by integrating CBT and ACT, depending on what’s the right fit for you, so that you feel empowered to tackle issues that might arise for you in the future.

“Therapy with THRIVE has helped me a lot. My therapist is very loving and caring and she has helped me through many problems to make better choices. My therapist also helped me to feel my anger and my sadness. I have become a better person, matured quite a lot, and have managed to stay out of trouble for a very long time now. ”
