Hi, I'm Beth.

MA, LPC
she/her
Therapist and Owner at Supportive Connection Counseling

My name is Beth Hasbrouck. I am a licensed professional counselor located in Fort Collins, Colorado, and I am available for mental health therapy sessions for clients who are located in Colorado.

I meet with clients in person for therapy sessions. I have found that meeting in person tends to offer the most conducive environment for building connection with my clients and forming a trusting, supportive therapeutic relationship, which is at the heart of our work together. I have also found that somatic therapy is most effective in person (please read on, below, for more details about how I practice somatic therapy with my clients).

In my role as your therapist, it is my hope to be supportive to you from a space of care, deep respect, and open heart. I believe that each person holds innate wisdom in their body, in their mind, and in their approach to how they live their life. In our sessions together, I will help you tune into that wisdom, recognize your strengths, increase your capacity to cope with challenges in ways that feel in line with those strengths, gain clarity in areas where you’ve felt confused or stuck, consider new perspectives, and feel more connected to yourself and others.

I enjoy working with adults of all ages, with focus areas including anxiety, trauma, grief/loss, life transitions, personal growth, relationships, and interpersonal communication. I often use psycho-education in my sessions to help clients gain insight and new perspectives on their symptoms, concerns, and challenges.

My approach to therapy is grounded in trust, safety, respect, compassion, empathy, and integrity. My therapeutic style is person-centered, humanistic, relational, trauma-focused, strength-based, attachment-based, and grounded in mindfulness and awareness of the body. I have training and experience in grief counseling and working with trauma, as well as neuroscience, mindfulness, and somatic/body-based approaches to therapy (including Sensorimotor Psychotherapy and Hakomi Mindful Somatic Psychotherapy).

Being a therapist is my second career, and it is a calling of love, passion, and purpose in my life. My first career was in TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages), working as an English language instructor with university-level international students, as well as engaging in teacher training and supervision, curriculum development, and program administration. When I realized what I really longed for was more one-on-one time with my students, I knew it was time for a career change. The field of mental health therapy emerged as a natural way for me to use my strengths of empathy and curiosity and build on my values of connection, openness, and integrity to best be of service to people in need.

It was a privilege to begin my counseling career with practicum and internship experiences in grief counseling at Pathways Hospice, working with family members whose loved ones had been under hospice care before their death. I am always honored and humbled to sit with clients in spaces of deep grief and to hold an open, caring space for that grief to come through in whatever ways it needs to, from moment to moment.

It was my great honor to continue my counseling career as a member of the amazing team at the Neurofeedback Clinic of Northern Colorado, where I used neurofeedback as a powerful and supportive intervention in my mental health therapy sessions with clients.

My passion for mindfulness and somatic/body-based therapy led me to establish my own counseling practice. Many of us have a strong intellect and spend a lot of time cognitively processing and figuring things out. Although this approach has its benefits, you might end up getting stuck in your head and missing out on other important aspects of the healing process. There is an innate wisdom in your body, just beyond your ordinary awareness, which you can access through a process of slowing down and using active mindfulness practices to tune into your present moment experience. This process is part of what I am currently learning through my ongoing training in Hakomi Mindful Somatic Psychotherapy, and I integrate Hakomi principles and utilize Hakomi techniques in my work with clients.

You may be wondering what it's like to be a client in a Hakomi session. Sometimes we will be "just talking," and at other times, we'll slow down and I'll guide you in using active mindfulness skills to study and explore an issue that is important to you. We will use mindfulness both as a way to stay more deeply with your present moment experience and to notice the habitual and automatic patterns that keep you stuck or prevent you from moving forward. This process of mindful self-study will help you explore how your sense of self and of the world are organized around thoughts, emotions, body sensations, impulses, memories, beliefs, and meaning. We'll work experientially by "trying on" different ways of relating to your present moment experience of the issue, allowing you to have new experiences – new insights, beliefs, feelings, and body experiences – and to start to develop a different relationship with yourself and the issue. I will help you integrate these new experiences and bring them into your world so you can move forward again in your life.

This process works best when you learn to:

• Slow down, turn your attention inward, focus on your inner experience, and stay relaxed and curious about whatever arises

• Follow and report on what you’re noticing in your present moment experience, including thoughts, feelings, body sensations, memories, images, and/or impulses

• Be willing to experience difficult or painful feelings and to share them openly and honestly during our sessions

• Be gentle and kind to yourself throughout this process

As your therapist, I will be a steady, caring, supportive presence to guide you in this process of mindful self-study and exploration. I’ll support you in learning how to slow down, stay curious, and tune into your body and present moment experiences, with the goal of discovering and developing your own organic pathways to healing and growth. Through this process, you’ll be able to fill in pieces that may have been missing from past experiences, open up to new ways of relating to yourself and others, and integrate these new ways of being in order to live your life more fully and as your most authentic self.

I look forward to meeting you, connecting with you, and supporting you on your journey.
