Individual Therapy
Our individual therapy sessions provide a safe space for clients to address trauma, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Using evidence-based approaches like EMDR and somatic therapy, we help clients process emotions, reframe negative beliefs, and develop coping strategies. Our Boulder-based therapists tailor interventions to each client's unique needs, fostering self-awareness and emotional resilience through both indoor and nature-based sessions.
Couples Counseling
Couples counseling focuses on improving communication, rebuilding trust, and strengthening emotional connections. We address issues like infidelity, attachment wounds, and life transitions using emotion-focused and trauma-informed techniques. Our therapists guide couples through structured exercises to enhance understanding, resolve conflicts, and cultivate secure attachments, with options for both indoor and outdoor therapy sessions in Boulder's natural settings.
EMDR Therapy
EMDR therapy helps clients reprocess traumatic memories and reduce distressing symptoms. This evidence-based approach uses bilateral stimulation to facilitate neural reorganization, effectively treating PTSD, anxiety, and complex trauma. Our Boulder therapists integrate EMDR with somatic and nature-based interventions to enhance emotional regulation and promote lasting healing for individuals navigating past or present traumatic experiences.
Nature-Based Programs
Our nature-based programs combine therapeutic interventions with Boulder's natural environment to enhance emotional healing. Clients engage in guided outdoor sessions that promote mindfulness, sensory awareness, and connection to natural rhythms. These programs integrate wilderness therapy techniques with somatic and trauma-informed care, offering alternative pathways for clients who benefit from experiential learning and environmental immersion in their healing journey.
Group Therapy
Group therapy provides peer support for specific issues like adult children of alcoholics and trauma recovery. These structured sessions foster connection, shared learning, and collective healing in a safe environment. Led by experienced Boulder therapists, our groups use evidence-based curricula to address common challenges while encouraging personal growth through interpersonal dynamics and group process.

Heather Caldwell is kind, supportive and deeply intuitive. I love the way she has helped me connect mindfulness with my physical body, which has resulted in personal achievements beyond my expectations. Heather has a non-judgmental awareness which encourages open and honest conversation. I rely on her wisdom and understanding, and most of all trust that she will continue to guide me on a path that leads to my personal growth.

Knowing Shelly and Megan on a more personal level, I can tell you they are both filled with an incredible amount of integrity, compassion, empathy, and love for other people, for our world, and for themselves as individuals as well. I have no doubt they are incredible practitioners who hold space for each client interaction that is sacred, trustworthy, and hope-filled.

I found Evolve in Nature Psychotherapy in 2016 when I was really struggling with panic attacks, anxiety, depression, and childhood trauma. I started working with Shelly Froehlich and her support was invaluable in helping me through what I was experiencing at that time and throughout life's challenges in the last 4 years. Her somatic approach helped me learn to connect with my body and emotions better, and to build more resilience when dealing with life and relationship challenges. I'm forever grateful for the support, compassion, and guidance I got from Evolve in Nature Psychotherapy!

When I got in touch with Shelly at Evolve in Nature, I was in my early 50s, depressed and confused. I had never before seen a therapist, and was skeptical. But I gave it a shot. It was one of the best decisions of my life. Shelly taught me how to see more clearly, how to place my person and my life into valuable contexts, how to move forward with more wisdom, patience and honesty. I highly recommend Shelly and Evolve in Nature Psychotherapy.

Heather is a highly skilled and compassionate therapist who brings her intuition and body awareness to support others to tap into their own inner wisdom. She is especially gifted at working with individuals with chronic illness, and the associated trauma, who want to be more at ease in their own skin.

I've been as colleague of Shelly's since she first came to the BC3 as an intern. Shelly works with compassion, integrity, professionalism and a huge heart.

Shelly is an incredible listener and wise, compassionate and intuitive in her response. When I am with Shelly I feel she is fully present with me and able to see me in a way that always serves my higher good. I also love that Shelly digs right into the hard stuff, asking thoughtful questions and leaning into the discomfort in order to find the gold. All of my conversations with Shelly end with a sense of clarity or a nugget of wisdom that her attention helped me discover within myself. I would highly recommend her as a therapist.

There are very few people who can listen and allow space for healing as well as Shelly, with Evolve in Nature. Shelly has given me tools to sort through difficult emotions in conducive ways and creates a safe space to work though trauma. Her clients well being holds the upmost importance to her. I would recommend her to people of all walks of life.

I've had such an incredible experience knowing and working with Shelly. I don't know many people who listen as well, care as much, or help as willingly as she does. She is the real deal; I couldn't recommend this clinic highly enough!

Shelly is the most effective therapist I've ever had, period. I highly recommend her to those who need to deal with any past trauma. Since my early 20's I've known that if I didn't deal with my traumatic childhood, I'd never live to my fullest potential or feel truly happy. Shortly after I moved to Boulder at age 43, I joined Shelly's first ACOA therapy group. I also started personal therapy a year later.

She has literally helped me crawl out of a deep, dark hole of pain. It is hard work, but so worth it. If you are ready to take the next step and do the work, Shelly definitly has the skills and along with her warm, judgement free personality, you can't help but succeed.

I've been working with Shelly for several months now and I'm so happy with where I'm at thanks to her. She's a great coach, helping you take steps forward or working to move past mental and emotional challenges. Would definitely recommend her to other people looking for the same thing.

Shelly has been an amazing support. Every visit has opened my eyes to a completely new perspective and emotionally centered me in a way I wasn't even aware that I needed. I've seen other therapists in the past and I was never able to connect on a real level with, they felt more like visiting a doctor trying to get me in and out. Shelly and I immediately connected and I felt like I was really in a safe space for me to share and evolve.
