Kris Isaacs, LPC

Licensed Professional Counselor

Areas of specialty:  Anxiety, depression, Mood Disorders, substance use/abuse/addiction, psychedelics and psychedelic integration, ketamine-assisted psychotherapy and integration, school related issues, failure to launch, transitional and adjustment issues, trauma.

Educational Background:  I received my undergrad degree in psychology from Lewis and Clark College in Portland Oregon and my graduate degree in Transpersonal Counseling Psychology from Naropa University in Boulder Colorado. I have completed multiple trainings including Heartmath, a yearlong somatic based trauma training, a yearlong psychedelic assisted psychotherapy training and 40hr intensive psilocybin-assisted psychotherapy specific training.

I am a Transpersonal, person-centered clinician who works collaboratively with my clients to meet them and support them at any level in their lives. I believe in the healing nature of connection and relationships, and I adjust my approach based on the needs of those sitting across from me. I utilize modalities such as talk therapy, internal family systems, motivational interviewing, brainspotting, somatic practices and mindfulness awareness practices. I also believe in the therapeutic nature of psychedelics and profound ability to help in the healing process. I am a trained psychedelic-assisted psychotherapist, ketamine-assisted psychotherapist along with preparation and integration work.

My work has spanned across two decades which has included inpatient treatment in Troutdale Oregon, detox, therapeutic mentoring and transitional living programs in Boulder Colorado and for the past 8 years I have been in private practice which is also located in Boulder.

I believe in the human spirit and in one’s innate desire to heal. Basic goodness resides in all of us and often through our life experiences or through societal interjects we lose sight of that in ourselves and in others. I believe that it is in connection to self and others that we can overcome the barriers, re-write the stories, develop the healthy coping skills and integrate all that we have learned in order to find our True Self.

    Hi there! I work with children ages 0-10 and adults ages 20-60. I also work with couples around communication skills. I enjoy the variety of seeing clients online, in-person, and outdoors.

     With children, I do a 45-minute Synergetic Play Therapy session in my office or outside. Then, later in the week, I have a 15-minute phone call with their parents and caretakers to suggest ways to integrate the child’s therapy at home. This is essentially family therapy but seeing members separately. Children are more resilient than adults, so sessions usually progress faster and have results that can be seen, not just felt.

     Many people are surprised that I work with children AND adults. I like this variety in ages because I love seeing the spectrum of how people evolve. Different developmental stages bring different challenges and gifts, and all of it interests me! My work with children compliments my work with adults, as we all feel small and young at times. I meet both populations with tenderness, humor, and directness.

     Specialty Treatment Areas:

    -Depression (including an overall vague feeling of something missing in life)

    -Anxiety (including chronic anxiety and anxiety from specific events)

    -Trauma (all kinds and feelings of overwhelm)

    -Challenging Transitions (including relationships, jobs, and grieving losses)

    -Women’s Issues (including motherhood, fertility issues, systemic sexism)

    -Gender Identity Issues (supporting trans, nonbinary, and gender diversity)

    -Parenting Difficulties (I get it! I have 2 kiddos!)

    How I work:

    It is my sole’s work to be a creative therapist! While talking is essential in therapy, I can offer more. With my multiple approaches, I help clients access their personal, deeper wisdom. I can use nature, art, play, body awareness, humor, and mindfulness to support adult and child clients. My goal is for my clients to leave my office feeling their center and how they belong in this world.

    Together we can work on:

    *Finding the gifts within your struggles

    *Learning how to keep calm in anxiety producing environments

    *Exploring how your past influences your present

    *Creating healthy choices and habits to excel your therapy

    *Identifying relationship patterns

    *Revitalizing YOU

    My Background:

    I graduated in 2010 with a master’s degree from Naropa University in Transpersonal Psychology with a concentration in Wilderness Therapy. Since then, I have completed trainings in Hokomi, Gestalt, Grief work, Trauma, Body Focused Healing, Non-Violent Communication, Somatic Practices, Heart-Centered Meditation, Synergetic Play Therapy, EMDR, and Mother-Daughter Relationships. I have worked in therapeutic supporting roles for a variety of employers including Naropa University, Women’s Wilderness Institute, Judy’s House (in Denver), Outward Bound, and Preschools.

      Bio: Specializing in attachment psychology and interpersonal effectiveness, Andre has been serving adults, couples and families overcome hardship for the past 5 years. He runs his private practice out of Boulder and continues to serve the community through an empathetic, client centered approach using various therapeutic interventions.

      Practice Approach: Do you have a lingering sense of emptiness? A feeling that something is missing, but not sure where to start? Are you stuck in the past, anxious about the future, and unable to enjoy the present? Like you, I have been there. I know how hopeless it can feel. Understanding struggles with relationships and connection is the main focus of my work, and I help individuals like you start to feel more secure in relation with others and yourself. We all have an individual blueprint of attachment, where we might feel a sense of constant anxiety within our relationships, or maybe feel a need to withdraw or detach.

      Often times, our blueprint can include outdated coping mechanisms that worked for us at one point, but now feel destructive. As your therapist, I will walk alongside you in your journey of healing & empower you to repair relationships & establish healthier ones. Through addressing your core fears, we will shatter the illusions that prevent you from peace.

      I understand that it can be difficult finding a therapist you feel would be a match. If you feel like our work together might be meaningful, please reach out. We can set up a free initial consultation to better understand what brings you to me today.

      Let’s work through these maladaptive patterns. Together we will learn to create and maintain a healthier relationship to self and others.

      How I Work:

      Focusing on the individual and their unique capability toward healing is the guiding approach I take in therapy. I work with great curiosity to explore the distractions and negative cycles that may be keeping you stuck. The struggle for clarity is a difficult one to navigate in isolation; together we can look at patterns and behaviors that no longer service you and gently work toward a new, more expansive pathway. The therapeutic process is one of finding balance between the emotional and rational, the mind, body and spirit then bringing that forward into our lives. Bringing meaning and integration to mind, body and spirit is the philosophy I hold in the practice of therapy.

       

      Specialty Treatment Areas:

      •     Substance Abuse & Addiction
      •     Trauma Work
      •     Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
      •     Anxiety/ Panic Attacks
      •     Depression
      •     Somatic/Sensorimotor Psychotherapy
      •     ADD/ ADHD
      •     Self-Harm

      •     Emotional Regulation Issues
      •     Family Work

       

      Individual Holistic Psychotherapy:

      It seems to me that in order for real change and healing to occur, the mind, body, spirit and brain must all be incorporated into the therapeutic process. Each of our stories is unique and there is no “one-size-fits-all” treatment.

                  Together we can work on:

      • Identifying triggers that put you into a survival state (fight/flight/freeze/collapse), which can contribute to self-defeating patterns.
      • Exploring your relationship to your family of origin.
      • Learning your attachment style and revitalizing your relationships.
      • Developing compassion for all parts of yourself.
      • Creating resources to help calm your nervous system.
      • Loosening the grip of chronic self-judgment.
      • Healing addictive and reactive patterns.
      • Building mindfulness techniques to help you feel more grounded and present.

      Family Work:

      Families can benefit from therapy when they experience any stressful  event that may strain family relationships, such as financial hardship, divorce,  or the death of a loved one. In addition, it can be effective in  treating mental health concerns that impact the family as a whole, such  as depression, substance abuse, chronic illness, and food issues, or everyday concerns, like communication problems, interpersonal conflict, or behavioral problems in children and adolescents.

      I work with families in an Emotionally-Focused framework, based on the work of Sue Johnson. This approach works from an attachment-based lens to help understand problematic cycles that trigger and maintain issues in the family. It then works to build interactions that that establish safer connection and a calmer, more regulated atmosphere among individuals and in the family system.

                  Together we can work on:

      • Building skills for more emotional regulation and a better sense of feeling grounded.
      • Dismantling reactive negative cycles by establishing a more secure base of attachment.
      • Studying the blocks that arise in connection and support.
      • Creating an alliance through effective communication, emotional safety and bonding.

       

      Trauma Informed Therapy/ Sensorimotor Psychotherapy:

      Dr. Gabor Mate defines trauma as, “a psychic wound that hardens you psychologically that then interferes with your ability to grow and develop. It pains you and then you act out of the pain. It induces fear and then you are acting out of that fear. Trauma is not what happens to you, it’s what happens inside of you as a result of what happened to you.”

      Sensorimotor Psychotherapy (SP) is a complete therapeutic modality  for trauma and attachment issues. SP welcomes the body as an integral  source of information which can guide resourcing and the accessing and  processing of challenging, traumatic, and developmental experience. SP  is a holistic approach that includes somatic, emotional, and cognitive  processing and integration.

      SP enables clients to discover and change habitual physical and  psychological patterns that impede optimal functioning and well-being.  SP is helpful in working with dysregulated activation and other effects  of trauma, as well as the limiting belief systems of developmental  issues.

      SP helps clients cultivate their strengths, while providing enough  challenge to stimulate growth, long lasting change, and well-being.

                  Together we can work on:

      • Validating your past hurts and traumas
      • Working though internalized feelings of shame and confusion
      • Identifying and understanding the everyday triggers that put you into a state of fight/flight/freeze/collapse.
      • Healing addictive and reactive patterns
      • Understanding how to process and release traumatic memories and emotions held in the body
      • Creating resources to calm the nervous system and help deal with trauma-related symptoms
      • Alleviating the suffering from emotions like fear, shame and anger

      About Me:

      Since graduating from Pacifica Graduate Institute in 2015, I have been cultivating my therapeutic practices in and out of agencies. I have worked in a transitional program for young adults, AIM House, going on 6 years. The program is structured to help guide young people on garnering enough ego strength to forge a path of independence, while also staying connected and building community. I also worked with their families in assisting with the individuation process through parent coaching and extensive family systems work through an attachment-focused lens. I have been in private practice for going on 7 years. My practice encompasses work with individuals, couples and families and has included a variety of age ranges. In meeting with such an array of unique individuals and tailoring to what they need along the way, I have deepened greatly into various aspects of psychology.

      THERAPY SERVICES:

      Counseling for Depression, Anxiety, or Disordered Eating: As a Stanford trained clinical psychologist, I offer psychotherapy for young adults and adults who struggle with depression, anxiety, or disordered eating habits. Do you or a loved one feel depressed and anxious for no apparent reason? Is it difficult to get out of bed in the mornings and get excited about things you used to love doing? Do you feel all alone and as though nobody understands your struggles? Or do you feel awkward in social situations and tend to overthink things and assume the worst? If any or all of these apply to you, you may be struggling with depression or anxiety. I will help you explore your inner world and create awareness by providing compassionate guidance. Through my ability to read between the lines, I can see you and help you better understand yourself. My approach to therapy is both insight-oriented and skills-based. As a researcher and clinician, I am able to apply the most up-to-date evidence-based treatments to help you find a way back to a fulfilling and satisfying life. We will work through subconscious barriers and challenges that may interfere with your joy in life, growth, and path to healing. Visit my website for more information: https://www.psychologycolorado.com/about

       

      Counseling for Coping with Cancer and Other Serious Medical Conditions: I specialize in working with individuals and their family members who suffer from serious medical conditions such as cancer. Let’s work together through the emotional struggles associated with the diagnosis of a physical illness. Emotional difficulties can appear at any stage in the treatment process and sometimes only surface once all treatments are completed. I will help you better cope with anxiety and worries associated with your condition and help you make sense of your disease productively to find your way back to a fulfilling life. I have extensive experience working with oncology patients and their family members. I also offer caregiver support. Furthermore, I help young adults cope with the physical illness of a parent and I work with loss and grief following the passing of a loved one. Visit my website for more information: https://www.psychologycolorado.com/therapy-cancer-medical-condions

       

      Counseling for Managing Divorce, Separation and Custody Proceedings: I have expert knowledge in divorce, separation and custody proceedings. I offer both psychological and neuropsychological forensic assessments as well as therapy services for young adults and adults who are impacted by divorce or separation. No matter the reasons, going through a separation or divorce can be overwhelming for everyone involved. It can feel like you and your children’s entire worlds have been turned upside down which makes it difficult to function throughout the day. Many research studies have shown that people who undergo divorce face a variety of physiological and psychological difficulties including grief, anger, frustration, anxiety, disappointment, and more. Furthermore, divorce is associated with financial hardship, and an increase in depression as people experience loss of partner, hopes and dreams, and lifestyle. But there are things you can do to get through this difficult adjustment and I am here to help. Sharing feelings with a counselor or therapist can help you get through this period. Isolation can raise your stress levels, reduce your concentration, and get in the way of your work, relationships and overall health. Contact me for an initial consultation session and let me help you get back on your feet. Visit my website for more information: https://www.psychologycolorado.com/divorce-and-separation-therapy

       

       

      PSYCHOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT SERVICES:

      I provide a variety of assessment services, including mental health and psychological evaluations for custody, divorce, and separation proceedings, criminal cases, adoption evaluations, and neurocognitive assessments.

      With 20 publications, I am an expert in psychometric methodology and theory. I conduct high-quality psychological evaluations for adults and adolescents to help inform treatment or for legal purposes, such as custody proceedings or criminal cases. I also provide expert court testimonies as needed.

      I pride myself in my ability to conduct thorough and astute psychological assessments, where I systematically examine the information gathered from an assessment and weave it into a comprehensive and complete picture of the individual’s competencies, struggles, and capabilities. Recommendations are based on all the assessment results and on interviews conducted with the individual being evaluated, treating mental health providers, family, and others who may be able to shed light on the individual as a complex, unique being. This person-centered, thorough and caring approach to testing, coupled with my expertise in psychometrics and measurement, helps me understand the individual in an objective and accurate manner. The results of the tests will help inform and develop a treatment plan to facilitate success in your life.
