Book a therapist or psychiatrist in Monument, CO covered by United Healthcare

I'm so happy you're here! I'm passionate about supporting individuals as they navigate anxiety, depression, relationship issues, stress, and life transitions. Whether you're dealing with overwhelming thoughts, emotional disconnect, or interpersonal conflict, my goal is to help you uncover the patterns that may be holding you back and develop tools to move forward.

I work with adults who feel stuck, overwhelmed, burned out, or like something in their life needs to change. Many of the people I work with are highly sensitive and introspective; they tend to feel things deeply, think deeply, and sometimes have a hard time knowing what to do with everything they’re carrying.

I also specialize in helping people navigate psychedelic experiences, spiritual emergence, and other non-ordinary experiences that may be meaningful, confusing, or difficult to integrate.

My background is in transpersonal and somatic psychology, with additional training in trauma-informed care, breathwork, psychedelic integration, and spiritual emergencies.

Hi! I’m so glad you’re here!

I graduated Summa Cum Laude from Regis, with a MA in counseling psychology and became a licensed therapist, later earning an MBA in Healthcare Administration with honors, while working for a large health plan.

Throughout my career, I’ve stayed committed to growth, continued education, and surrounding myself with great mentors. Mentors are valuable at every stage of a career. I’ve learned navigating life successfully is about discovering what works and learning from others who share their journey.

I grew up near Columbus, Ohio (Go Buckeyes!) and have called Colorado home since graduating from CSU. I love the arts- museums, theater/movies, and comedy. Love the outdoors and staying active- skiing, hiking, travel, and time with family and friends. Even though landlocked here in CO, I love seaside living- paddle-boarding, snorkeling, or volunteering in sea turtle conservation.

Choosing a therapist, especially if it's a first time, it’s important to feel heard, accepted, and genuinely valued. It truly makes a difference about treatment success!

Congratulations. Exploring options for therapy/therapists can be daunting, but finding a good fit is important. I've been a therapist with youth, adults, families and couples in multiple settings since 1999. While I have extensive training and experience in multiple Evidence-Based Therapies, I combine that with life experience to bring you the best partner for your exploration and improvement.

Hi, I’m Sonata, a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and Family Nurse Practitioner with over a decade of clinical experience and 7 years as a nurse practitioner. I’m also the founder of Serein Wellness. My dual certification gives me a unique perspective on how your physical health, lifestyle, and life experiences connect to your mental well-being.

I created this practice for people who are used to holding it all together on the outside, even when they’re struggling on the inside. I specialize in depression, anxiety, burnout, and adult ADHD, and I take a whole-person approach that goes far beyond a prescription. Whether you’re open to medication, hesitant about it, or simply unsure where to start, we’ll talk through your options together so you can make informed decisions about your care.

I’m especially passionate about creating a culturally informed space where people who have felt dismissed or misunderstood in healthcare can feel seen, heard, and understood.

We want to show the world that we have everything put together. Many times, we are struggling to stay afloat. Our quality of life is affected, and we find struggle in our relationships. Communication within ourselves and with others is compounded. Finding a non-judgmental and unbiased environment to process individually and/or together with partners and families can help to note the specific problem(s). By better understanding the problem, we are more successful in finding solutions. If we are informed, we are better in our decision-making. Therapy is a unique process, just like your life is unique.

If we have not contacted a professional for help, we are still doing some level of work. The work in the search for the next step. It is when we are lost in asking ourselves “How can I do better? How can I do better for myself and others?”. That’s when the next step of reaching out for help is needed. I am a therapist. I am human. I understand.

"Between stimulus and response, there is a space. In the space lies our freedom and power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and freedom."

I'm here to help break down what happens between the space of a stimulus and your response. Could be imprinted family of origin beliefs and values. Maybe intense trauma from your past. And/or the distress from your relationships. I'm here to walk along side you on the journey of finding your growth and freedom.

Many of us feel overwhelmed by the world that we live in. It helps to have someone to listen about the concerns we have or the things that make us feel despair. Therapy can be a great way to get some of these feelings out of our heads and into the world where they often appear more manageable and less overwhelming. I believe therapy should be collaborative and that I, as the therapist, should sit with you in whatever state you are in and that we should both work together to address your needs.
