Lunasa Counseling and Wellness | Top Rated Trauma Therapist in Boulder, CO

Therapy that honors your humanness.

We are therapists in Boulder, Colorado. We offer therapy for adults and couples, both in-person and online. Our therapists hold licenses and master's degrees in the field of counseling and mental health.

Our Approach

We specialize in bringing genuine human connection to the healing process for people who have experienced trauma.

There are many names for the types of trauma we work with: complex trauma, relational trauma, attachment trauma, childhood wounds, and developmental trauma. Many of our clients have come to us with histories of depression, anxiety, addiction, eating disorders, relationship issues, perfectionism, or low self-worth, and found healing in relationship with us.

We recognize that internal wounds happen to everyone over the course of a life, and we know that our experiences shape and change us. Sometimes they change us for the better and sometimes we get stuck. You are not broken because of what you have been through or are currently going through. We see mental health concerns, not as a dysfunction of the individual, but as a very reasonable response to a difficult world. It can be hard being human.

Our mental health therapists are informed by Internal Family Systems (IFS), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), self-compassion training, mindfulness, Somatic Therapy, Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).

There is no right or wrong way to heal. We are here to help you find the way that works for you.

What does Lunasa mean?

Pronounced LOO-nuss-uh.

Lunasa is an English spelling of the Irish-Gaelic word, Lughnasadh.

Lunasa is the Celtic harvest festival which happens on August 1st every year. For the Celts, Lunasa marked the end of summer, welcomed the fall, and celebrated a bountiful harvest. It was a time to enjoy the fruits of one’s labor. After the hard work of the prior seasons, it was a time to reap what one had sown.

In Irish mythology there was a God named Lugh, who was a member of the Tuatha Dé Danann, a clan of supernatural beings. The harvest festival is named after him because it was said that Lugh had provided the necessary weather conditions all year to support a plentiful harvest. The weather conditions celebrated for creating such a harvest were not only sunshine and warmth, but also thunderstorms and rain.

We see the cycle of therapy in a similar way. You may choose to enter into counseling at a time which is stormy, or at a time when you are in a metaphorical winter. You may enter counseling at a time which feels spring-like and hopeful. We hope to help you to harness whatever conditions you bring to counseling so that you can enjoy a future celebratory harvest. We will be with you in the dark seasons and celebrate with you in the light.
