Hello, I’m Darlene!

I am a somatic, body-centered psychotherapist, mother, grandmother, and founder of Ascent Counseling. My mission is to guide individuals toward deeper healing, self-awareness, and meaningful connection—fostering transformation that ripples outward to create a healthier, more conscious world.

I blend traditional and innovative approaches, including EMDR, Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy, Parts Work, and Amino Acid Mental Health Nutrition, to address anxiety, depression, trauma, neurodivergence, ADHD, and addiction. Somatic therapy moves beyond talk therapy, integrating heart, mind, body, and spirit. I see the body as a wise guide, helping clients access their innate healing intelligence. Through movement and awareness, I help individuals unlock the wisdom their cognitive mind may overlook—allowing for deep, embodied healing.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Addictions Counselor in Colorado, I hold a Bachelor’s in Psychology (specializing in Addictions and Recovery) from Liberty University and a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Adams State University. Over the past 15 years, I’ve served as Clinical Director for Women’s Recovery, a trauma-focused, dual-diagnosis outpatient program, and as a therapist at The Center for Mental Health and Women’s Recovery Center, specializing in holistic and trauma-informed care.

It would be my honor to walk alongside you on your healing journey, supporting your transformation so your growth extends far beyond yourself—creating lasting impact in your life and the world around you.
