Living Myth Psychotherapy Boulder

Living Myth Psychotherapy is a therapeutic practice rooted in the belief that healing is fundamentally relational. This approach recognizes that personal suffering is often intertwined with relational wounds, suggesting that true healing occurs in the context of connection with others. The practice emphasizes that individuals carry inherited beliefs and fears that shape their behaviors, and the path to profound change is through the acceptance of one's authentic self. To facilitate this healing journey, Living Myth offers a variety of psychotherapeutic modalities designed to help clients explore their emotions and experiences deeply. The approach is characterized by a strong emphasis on the counselor-client relationship, viewed as the primary indicator of successful outcomes in therapy. Living Myth combines various methodologies, including Gestalt therapy which promotes personal growth through self-awareness, Somatic Experiencing focused on processing trauma via bodily sensations, and Brainspotting which aids in releasing emotional blockages. Additionally, tools like the Enneagram and Jungian psychology are employed to deepen the understanding of personality structures and unconscious aspects of the psyche. This eclectic integration of modalities allows therapists to cater to each client’s unique needs, facilitating a personalized journey towards self-discovery and healing. The practice is helmed by Dana Cohen, a highly qualified therapist specializing in neurodivergent populations, including individuals with ADHD, OCD, and complex trauma histories. Dana’s methodology acknowledges and leverages clients' unique neurobiological makeups, empowering them to navigate their experiences rather than conforming to societal expectations. Living Myth prioritizes a trauma-informed approach, ensuring that therapy is a safe haven for individuals to confront their pain and embark on a transformative journey, akin to the Hero's Journey narrative structure prevalent in mythology. Furthermore, Living Myth Psychotherapy offers flexibility in session formats, accommodating both in-person and telehealth options to enhance accessibility for clients. The cost of sessions reflects the individualized attention and expertise provided, recognized as an investment in long-term mental well-being rather than a mere transactional exchange. To support clients’ journey, a free introductory consultation is available to determine mutual compatibility between clients and therapists. Overall, Living Myth is committed to fostering a nurturing environment where healing can thrive through authentic connection and personal growth.
