I've been in private practice for 20+ years. I treat teens and adults.I specialize in Marriage and Family concerns, addiction, eating disorders and Trauma/PTSD. I collaborate with clients on what will be useful to them to help clear what's getting in their way.
I see my job as helping folks examine why we beat ourselves and others up emotionally, and how to do something different. Together, we’ll work on figuring out what matters most to you and navigating toward it. If you value straight-forwardness, humor, geeky metaphors, and having someone sit with you in the discomfort, we are probably a good match.

Welcome! I’m Ramon, a Drama Therapist supporting children, adults, and families. I believe creative arts offer a deeper language when words aren’t enough. No artistic skills are needed; we simply use play and metaphor to explore challenges from a comfortable distance. Children process emotions through play, adults bypass the analytical mind for authentic expression, and families discover new ways of connecting. My approach is evidence-based and open-minded, providing a judgment-free space to explore your experiences at your own pace.

No hace falta ser artista; usamos el juego y la metáfora para explorar desafíos con comodidad. Los niños procesan emociones jugando, los adultos conectan con su expresión auténtica y las familias descubren nuevas formas de vincularse. Mi enfoque se basa en la evidencia y en una mente abierta, ofreciendo un espacio sin juicios para explorar tus experiencias a tu propio ritmo.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Colorado, and I work largely with LGBTQ+ individuals, specializing in religious trauma and spirituality, existential distress, eating disorders and body image, relationship issues, and grief and loss.
I specialize in helping clients reconnect with the power that’s already within them. You’re in the driver’s seat, and I’m the passenger here to support, guide, and travel alongside you.
