Tara Behr, LPC

My life is an offering and devotion to the discovery of what supports human flourishing and what prevents it. I graduated from Denver Seminary's Counseling Program in 2017 and have been in private practice for the last four years, with a one-year sabbatical during this time. I've supported numerous individuals and couples to heal from childhood developmental trauma, suicidality, PTSD, eating disorders, addictions, anxiety, depression, and painful and traumatizing psychedelic experiences. I have studied Christian mysticism through The Action and Contemplation School, psychedelic-assisted therapy through an apprenticeship with my mentor Bruce Sanguin, and ecopsychology through The Animas Valley Institute. I have a background in personal training, wilderness guiding, and vocal performance. In my free time, I am a singer-songwriter. I also write poetry and essays on interpersonal phenomenology, animism, Christian mysticism, and psychedelic-assisted therapy. I am a survivor of childhood abuse, bulimia nervosa, and anorexia. Through the alchemy of my personal healing, I offer you my care. Being human in this era is often filled with necessary and unnecessary suffering. I will attune to these sufferings with you so that you no longer need to hold them alone. And, perhaps beneath this suffering is your childhood innocence, wonder, joy, and gratitude. It is your birthright to be connected to freedom, compassion, self-love, and people who respect, honor, and mirror you in your goodness and beauty. May our relationship be a doorway to this. Therapy is one of the most vital journeys you can embark on in your life; it will lead you from a life of fear to a life of love. I’m here to walk this path with you.
