Hi, I'm Vlasi. You can call me V. I'm a therapist based in Lakewood, Colorado, and I’m deeply passionate about helping people find greater freedom in their lives. I draw on somatic, psychodynamic, parts-work, and mindfulness-based approaches to assist my clients in processing challenging emotions and uncovering new ways of being. In working with couples, I use the evidence-based Gottman Method and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). My therapy style is holistic, embodied, trauma-informed, and is tailored to the unique needs and challenges of the individual. I bring specialized, ongoing training in Eye-Movement Desensitization & Reprogramming (EMDR), a highly effective method for healing PTSD and trauma that rewires challenging memories and the negative beliefs that limit our wellbeing. This approach allows us to dive deeply into the underlying causes of anxiety, depression, stress, addiction, shame, low self-worth, isolation, and relationship issues in a profound way. I am also a certified BioDynamic Breathwork & Trauma Release System (BBTRS) practitioner and integrate this approach into my practice. This powerful somatic modality supports the unlocking of physical and emotional tension in the body and can be an instrumental tool in working through anxiety, grief, and pain, among other experiences. I’m excited about the possibility of embarking on this meaningful journey together. OFFICE LOCATION: 8805 W. 14th Ave, Suite 300, Lakewood, CO, 80215
