Boulder Therapist - Kristen Brickl LPC
Â
Therapist In Boulder, CO
Are you craving support that sees the full picture of who you are? Therapy isn’t just about talking through problems. It’s about being witnessed, held, and guided through the process of becoming more connected to yourself. For many individuals in midlife, this is a time of deep change and awakening. What used to work may no longer feel aligned. Relationships shift. Careers evolve. Questions surface. You may find yourself wondering: Who am I now? What’s next?
These are not easy questions, and they aren’t meant to be faced alone. Therapy can provide a container where you don’t have to hold it all by yourself. It’s a space where you can bring the parts of yourself you may have hidden away, unpack the weight of old experiences, and learn to trust the wisdom of your own inner voice again. Whether you’re longing for clarity, healing, or simply a safe place to land, therapy can help you reconnect with yourself in a way that feels real and lasting.
If you’re looking for a therapist in Boulder, CO who can hold space for both the emotional and energetic layers of your experience, I’m here to support you.
Therapy works best when you feel safe and connected. To make sure this feels right for you, I offer compatibility calls where we can meet, share, and sense whether we’re the right fit.
My Approach to Therapy
I’m Kristen Brickl, a Licensed Professional Counselor and Intuitive Channel based in Boulder. I specialize in working with individuals who are navigating the complexities of midlife. My approach integrates trauma-informed therapy with nervous system awareness, intuitive guidance, and soul work. Every session is tailored to you and your unique journey.
Therapy with me is not one-size-fits-all. Many clients come to me because they’ve tried other approaches that never felt like quite enough. They’re looking for something deeper — support that doesn’t just manage symptoms, but truly helps them shift old patterns and step into new ways of being.
Some clients seek support for anxiety or grief. Others come when they’re moving through identity shifts, burnout, relationship changes, or unresolved trauma. No matter where you find yourself, the work is guided by compassion, curiosity, and respect for your timing.
How Therapy Can Help
Therapy offers more than coping skills — it gives you a place to slow down, explore, and be deeply seen. Together, we might look at the ways your body is carrying stress, uncover how past experiences are shaping your present, or reconnect you with the parts of yourself you’ve silenced.
For many people, therapy becomes a place to finally name what’s been unsaid. The process often brings relief, clarity, and a deeper sense of self-trust. You may find yourself moving through challenges with more resilience, creating healthier relationships, and beginning to feel grounded in your own skin again.
Even if the external circumstances of your life take time to shift, the way you experience yourself can change. And that change makes everything else feel more possible.
Therapy vs. Intuitive Work
Some clients work with me for therapy, some for intuitive readings, and many for both. Therapy provides a structured, clinical container for emotional processing and long-term growth. Intuitive work often brings in fresh clarity and energetic insight that can accelerate the process.
You don’t have to choose one path over the other. Therapy and intuitive guidance can work hand-in-hand, offering a holistic approach that honors both the mind and the soul. For some clients, moving between the two creates a rhythm of grounded insight and deeper integration.
Location and Accessibility
My practice is based in Boulder, Colorado, where I see clients both in person and virtually. If you’re elsewhere in Colorado, virtual therapy allows us to connect no matter where you are — whether in Denver, the foothills, or a mountain town that feels worlds away.
This flexibility means that support is available when and how you need it most.
About Me: Your Boulder Therapist
Clients often tell me that they feel safe, seen, and supported in our work together.
I bring over a decade of counseling experience, along with specialized training in trauma-informed care and nervous system regulation. My background also includes EMDR, Internal Family Systems, and other somatic practices.
Alongside my clinical work, I bring a lifelong intuitive sensitivity that allows me to integrate spiritual awareness into the therapeutic process when it feels supportive. This means our sessions are both grounded and expansive — rooted in safety, while also opening the door to deeper layers of meaning and connection.
My role isn’t to fix you, but to walk beside you as you explore your truth, release what no longer serves you, and reclaim your sense of wholeness.

CLIENTÂ TESTIMONIALS
"Working with her has genuinely changed my life for the better, and I am beyond grateful."
I came to Kristen two years ago when I felt stuck in a way that I couldn't seem to get out of. If you are looking for a therapist who has the ability to both intuitively listen and feel what you are going through and also provide you with tangible tools for healing and growth, energy transformation, and rebuilding, Kristen is it. Since my first visit, she has provided me with clear and profound guidance and has served as a steady source of support and inspiration through the natural challenges of finding and maintaining relationship with myself and others, starting a new career, and figuring out life as a 30-something year old woman in the modern world.
Lauren Elizabeth
"Kristen has been one of the greatest gifts in my life."
Before working with her, I was working with an LPC who was great for me for a few years, but I found myself seeking therapy with an LPC but that was also coming from a source of spirituality. Then I learned about and met Kristen! I've been working with Kristen through a few seasons of life now– from losing my mother, working through multi-generational family trauma, romantic relationship, and starting my own business. Kristen holds me accountable and she teaches and gives me the tools to heal, grow, and come home to myself. She is a very dear ally to me and is a blessing to this world.
Jordan Gartner
"My life has changed dramatically since starting to work with Kristen."
I know that is no coincidence. She has helped me traverse incredibly challenging transitions this year with grace and clarity. Her approach is honest but gentle in the right ways. And the way she blends traditional knowledge with intuitive insight is unique.
Nicky Riordin
"Working with Kristen Brickl has been so rewarding."
She is very dedicated to helping you achieve your personal goals in a way that is strong and powerful while also being delicate and supportive. I have and will continue to recommend her to anyone looking to better themselves now and in the future.
