Hi I'm Darlene! I am a somatic body-centered psychotherapist, mother, grandmother, and founder of Ascent Counseling. I am ideally suited to work with clients who have already done significant psychotherapeutic work and are seeking to go deeper. I help clients raise their consciousness, heal, access higher aspects of the Self, and tap into wisdom, meaningful connections, and purpose. Through this process, clients are empowered to step into their power and embody their fullest potential, creating positive change for themselves and others.
I utilize innovative and alternative treatment approaches to promote radical self-discovery, personal, and spiritual growth. Somatic healing goes beyond traditional talk therapy by connecting the heart, mind, body, emotions, and spirit. I view the body as a wise resource, ally, and guide, tapping into the inner healing intelligence we all possess through a holistic perspective. Our bodies carry wisdom that the cognitive mind may often dismiss.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Licensed Addictions Counselor in the state of Colorado. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Psychology with a specialization in Addictions and Recovery from Liberty University in Virginia, and my Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Adams State University in Colorado. I have over fifteen years of experience in various roles within the mental health field.
It is my hope and will be my honor if you will join us in this wonderful world peace work of healing may it ripple far and wide!

Hi, I'm Erica! I'm an author, speaker, coach, and mom. I'm passionate about helping people and businesses achieve their goals, which is why I created Spark Your Spark!
As a mindset and accountability coach who went from obesity to marathoner, I know all about what it takes to truly ignite your fire within and get after whatever it is that you want to achieve. And, in the process of "achievement," it's really all about who we become along the way! That's what inspired me to develop the Marathon Mindset system for pursuing goals, and publish "Marathon Mindset: Get After Your Goals," launching in April of 2025.
As an Oola Certified Life Coach and Oola Certified Mind & Body Coach, I have served clients in group, 1:1, business, school and university settings to support the mind and body becoming a stronger team in pursuit of their goals.
My formal education is a B.S. in Recreation Resource & Ski Resort Management with a minor in Marketing from Lyndon State College (now Northern Vermont University). After getting my dream job in my early twenties, I navigated onto my own marketing consulting agency after having kids. In that time, I took ownership of my health, found a passion for helping people and businesses through coaching, speaking, and being a catalyst of positivity to help people pursue their goals!
