Evidence-Based, Compassionate Therapy Across Colorado

At Grounded Light Counseling, our therapeutic approach blends science and self-awareness to help you find calm, clarity, and confidence.

We use evidence-based methods that not only address symptoms but help you understand why you feel the way you do — and how to change those patterns with care.

All of our therapy is trauma-informed, inclusive, and collaborative.

That means you’ll never be told what to feel or how to fix yourself. Instead, we’ll work together to understand your story, your strengths, and your nervous system — and to build strategies that actually fit your life.

Our integrative model combines three core modalities:

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) — to help you notice and reshape unhelpful thinking patterns
  • Trauma-Sensitive Mindfulness — to reconnect mind and body with safety and compassion
  • Motivational Interviewing (MI) — to strengthen your motivation and sense of agency for meaningful change

These methods come together to support one goal: helping you feel more grounded and capable, no matter what life brings.

Our Core Therapeutic Modalities

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT is a structured, goal-oriented approach that helps you identify and challenge unhelpful thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.

You’ll learn to recognize the patterns that keep you stuck in self-doubt, anxiety, or burnout — and develop tools to respond with clarity and self-trust instead.

We integrate CBT with mindfulness and nervous-system awareness, so the change you experience feels real, not forced.

Trauma-Sensitive Mindfulness

Trauma-Sensitive Mindfulness

This gentle, body-aware practice helps you slow down and reconnect with the present moment in a way that feels safe and supportive.

Rather than pushing for perfect stillness or control, trauma-sensitive mindfulness focuses on awareness, pacing, and compassion — especially for clients managing anxiety, ADHD, or trauma histories.

You’ll learn to listen to your body’s cues, calm your nervous system, and create a sense of safety that lasts beyond the therapy session.

Motivational Interviewing

Motivational Interviewing

MI is a collaborative, non-judgmental approach that helps you explore what’s holding you back — and what’s driving you forward.

If you’ve ever felt stuck between “I want to change” and “I’m not sure I can,” MI helps you find your own reasons for growth.

It’s about aligning your choices with your values, building confidence in your ability to act, and finding sustainable motivation without guilt or pressure.

How These Approaches Work Together

Each of these therapeutic methods supports a different aspect of your well-being — but together, they create a holistic model of care that’s both practical and compassionate.

  • CBT gives you structure and insight.
  • Mindfulness gives you presence and calm.
  • Motivational Interviewing gives you clarity and momentum.

When combined, these approaches help you understand your patterns, regulate your stress responses, and take confident steps toward balance and growth.

Our Commitment to Inclusive, Evidence-Based Care

We believe that effective therapy honors both the science of the brain and the wisdom of the person living in it.

Our work is rooted in evidence-based practices and guided by empathy, cultural responsiveness, and collaboration.

We welcome clients from all backgrounds, identities, and experiences — including BIPOC, LGBTQ+, neurodivergent, and expat individuals — and we tailor each therapeutic approach to meet your unique needs and goals.
