Maybe you think you’re too much but somehow also not enough. Some experiences teach us that we can’t have safety, belonging, and joy, and we have to create adaptive defenses just to survive those feelings. Sometimes we stop wanting to survive at all because it hurts so much.  Your adaptations have gotten you this far! But the cost is too high now, and you’re ready to develop new ways of feeling, connecting, and living. I will provide a safe, grounded space to help you hold what previously felt unbearable. Together, we can discover the vitality in you and your own capacity for healing and change. As a client, you can expect an in-the-moment experience of connection and relationship based in AEDP (Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy), with mindfulness and parts work, to help you create a new way of relating to yourself and others.  LGBTQ+ welcoming and knowledgeable. Polyamory, consensual non-monogamy, and kink knowledgeable. CAMS/suicidality management-trained. Additional areas of interest include working with clients who experience anti-fat bias, ableism, systemic oppression, or who engage in spiritual practice or belief systems outside the mainstream and/or have religious trauma.  2020 Master of Arts Counseling and Human Services from UCCS 2023 Licensed as a Professional Counselor​ Call (719) 425-8742 to schedule an appointment with Ingrid! ____________________________________________________________________ Jade Mack, MFTC Telehealth Only​ Often we find ourselves in need of a confidant, a person with whom we can talk without fear of judgment or rejection.
