HELPING YOU MAKE SIGNIFICANT CHANGE BY INVOKING YOUR OWN LIFE PURPOSE AND GROUNDING THAT VISION IN YOUR DAILY LIFE!
Russ Patten MA, LPC, CMHC
Licensed Professional Counselor & Clinical Mental Health Counselor
Helping you make significant change by invoking your own life purpose and grounding that vision in your daily life!
I UTILIZE A NUMBER OF METHODS IN MY WORK,
BOTH IN THE OFFICE AND OUTDOORS!
I OFFER VIDEO COUNSELING TO MEET ADDITIONAL CLIENT NEEDS.
My strength as a therapist lies in approaching the counseling process from a nonjudgmental, person-centered standpoint. The unique world view and perspective of each person is validated and respected, allowing individuals and groups to find their own strengths, successes and meaning based on their needs. From this place of empowerment and wisdom, I help people find practical and grounded ways to make significant and lasting changes in daily living.
I invite you to the comfort of my office or to get outside "the box" of the therapy office and allow the healing capacity of being in nature to assist you in your journey. I facilitate individual eco-therapy and group experiences in easily accessible natural places in Colorado and Utah.
"In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks." — John Muir
Counseling Services
I offer counseling focused on identifying strengths and honoring client needs either at my office or in easily accessible locations in nature.
My methods are diverse in order to meet the unique needs of each individual and include EMDR, Mindfulness, Part Work, Dialectical Behavioral Skills, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Eco-Therapy, and Body-Centered modalities.
What Is Eco-Therapy?
Nature is my ally in our work together! I serve as a safe and supportive guide to assist you in accessing the healing power of the natural world.
I help you access the healing powers of Nature to help you find more stability, clarity, peace and direction in your life. Access you own inner compass so that you can better navigate the wilderness of life with grace, confidence and a sense of humor.
Upcoming Events
I hold introductory group events that allow you to experience Eco-Therapy and the benefit of using the connections to landscape and natural environments to reduce stress, increase ease and joy and feel more centered and grounded in life.
No introductory group events are currently scheduled. Please check back to see future offerings. Individual eco therapy is always available and part of what I do in my practice.
My Practice
My professional office is located in SW Colorado in Cortez. Your privacy and comfort are important to me.
I grew up in this region and know this area well. I use several easily accessible outdoor places to enhance your therapy sessions if you wish.
