Embrace Your Journey with Erik Petersen
Life is a journey through changing seasons, often filled with unexpected challenges that can leave us feeling overwhelmed and alone. As a licensed professional counselor in Colorado with over 19 years of experience, I understand the profound impact that grief, trauma, and transitions can have on your life. My own significant loss at a young age has deepened my empathy and understanding, allowing me to support you with genuine compassion. I have found meaning in my struggles by helping others find renewal, balance, growth, and healing. Grief and loss are not confined to the experience of death. They can emerge during any season of life—through the end of a relationship, betrayal, infertility, PTSD, trauma, estrangement, and unmet hopes and dreams. These experiences can leave you feeling trapped and unable to fully realize your potential. I am here to assure you that no matter the nature of your loss, you are not alone. Together, we will mourn, mend, and find meaning, transforming your pain into a pathway toward a fulfilling life. Humans are relational creatures, thriving on support from friends, family, and a higher power. I am committed to understanding your unique experience. You teach me about your journey, and together we find clarity, meaning, and equip you with the tools you need for healing and growth. My goal is to help you break free from repeating the same cycles, moving beyond symptom management to achieve deep, lasting change. In a world where control often feels elusive, I help you discover it within, guiding you to mourn, mend, and find meaning.

Philosophy
I take pride in creating a space where your struggles are “made known” and in providing insights that uncover what’s holding you back from living fully. I believe in the power of storytelling and the healing that comes from sharing your truth. Together, we will explore your narrative, seeking clarity. My approach combines therapeutic techniques with mindfulness and humor, because a little laughter is the best medicine.
As a father of two young children, I’ve learned to balance chaos with joy and to cherish life’s unexpected moments. This perspective enriches my practice, allowing me to connect deeply with clients and guide them through their own journeys of growth and reconciliation.

Let’s Connect
You deserve a life filled with strength, joy, and peace. Let me handle the financial details and make it easier for you to connect with the support you need. Let’s embark on this journey together, helping you mourn, mend, and find meaning.
