Core Practitioners at People House

To make a difference in someone's life, you don't have to be brilliant, rich, beautiful, or perfect. You just have to care. ~Mandy Hale.

Our practitioners conduct their practice of healing, education and/or growth according to the ethics and guidelines of their particular field. In addition, they maintain a belief in the wisdom of the individual that is in harmony with the basic People House philosophy.

We want to make it clear that everyone offering services at People House is an independent healing art professional in private practice and therefore is to be held solely and totally responsible for their conduct to all who make use of their services. All facilitators, therapists, ministers and interns maintain their own schedules. This includes anyone using space at People House for any and all activities. The professionals are not employees of People House, but rather independent businesses.

People house is not to be held responsible for problems that may result with a practitioner providing their services to you. Additionally, since each person is an independent business, no practitioner at People House is to be held responsible for problems that may result with another practitioner or People House.

Ultimately, it is YOU who is responsible for the choices you make of who and what method you may choose for your education and healing process. We suggest you trust your inner wisdom to lead you in the right direction.

The practitioners are to conduct their practices of healing, education and/or growth according to ethics and guidelines of their particular field. Should you feel that a pracititoner is not conducting their practice according to the ethics and guidelines of their particular field, you may wish to contact the Licensing Department at Colorado Department of Regulatory Agencies at 303-894-7855 or 1-800-886-7675 or www.colorado.gov/dora

Cindee Ball
MA, LPCC

Life can be complicated; wherein we are faced with struggles, losses, grief , trauma and a host of other circumstances that can drop us to our knees. Having a counselor that acknowledges your humanity, that sits with you in your pain, that holds space with empathy, that works with you to unpack your deepest fears, that helps you design the life you want is the greatest gift can give yourself.

How do I know this? Because I am human too. I have had my own host of personal losses and complicated struggles where I’ve had to learn to emotionally regulate. I call myself a “wounded healer” wherein I’ve had to learn how to disassemble my struggles and approach them head on to overcome them. Having my own counselor has supported my own growth.

These life experiences allow me to be with you, to listen beyond your words, to share my wisdom and honor your humanity. I hold a license as a LPCC, and hold certifications in life coaching and spiritual counseling.

Specialties: life transitions, grief, empowerment, relationships, trauma. I utilize many theories: CBT, client-centered, expressive therapeutic approaches and others dependent upon your unique situation.

Elan BenAmi
LPC, ACS

I provide therapy for individuals and couples. My approach as a counselor has elements of existentialism, humanism, and transpersonal psychology – though more than anything, I’m committed to helping people discover their authenticity and develop as human beings, in whatever way feels most organic.

I find tremendous satisfaction helping people work through difficulties, confront core beliefs, and make lasting changes in their lives. I believe that we are all works-in-progress, and often find myself inspired by my client’s willingness to be both vulnerable and courageous.

Professionally, I believe in presenting myself as person first, and a therapist second. After all, I’m holding you accountable to being authentic; I try to meet that same standard myself. My personal interests include mobile app development, poetry, writing, improv theater, and standup comedy. To learn more about me or my approach, visit my website or contact me to set up a free initial consultation.

Stephanie Boulton (she/her/hers)
MA, LPCC, NCC

***Currently placing new clients on a wait list***

I believe healing comes from expanding our capacity for meaningful connection in our life. When we can talk through and explore how and why we learned to adapt to our environment, we can then learn new ways we want to respond and increase our capacity for connection. Often our nervous system responds automatically to situations that in ways that were really helpful in the past but don’t always work so well in the present. In therapy, I help you learn about your patterns, work on befriending yourself and help you practice new ways of relating.

I offer a genuine, warm and non-judgmental therapeutic environment. My approach differs from person to person and I focus on you (not your problems) and collaborate with you on your therapeutic goals. I also incorporate aspects of your experience that contribute to individual well-being, like politics, economics, culture, nutrition, family and community that are often overlooked in mental health care. My clinical specialties include but are not limited to:

body image and disordered eating issues
anxiety and PTSD
sexual abuse and trauma
LGBTQ+, transgender and non-binary affirming counseling
attachment and healthy relationships,
cultural and gender-based trauma and identity development

Samantha Camerino
MSW, LCSW

Hello! I’m Samantha Camerino (she/her), founder of Nomad Therapy Services, a mobile service that brings the therapy to you. I use a ‘Person-in Environment’ approach, acknowledging both the personal and environmental factors impacting our mental health. I started Nomad Therapy as a way to break through some of the traditional barriers to accessing support, by inviting each individual to determine their own session setting; this may include the office, a local park, a ‘walk and talk’ session, or at your home. By bringing the therapy to you, the Nomad belief is that this will inherently create a more calming, comfortable, and safe space for self-exploration.

I began my career in 2013, after receiving my Master in Social Work (MSW) from Fordham University in New York City. Since then, I have been working with individuals on a variety of challenges, including depression, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, employment and educational issues, paranoia, bi-polar and additional mood disorders. My style is eclectic, using an array of evidenced based practices, while applying a ‘Person-in-Environment’ framework. I firmly believe that each person has a unique understanding of their personal challenges… and their solutions. Having a trusted partner to help you maneuver these waters can effectively remove some of the struggles that may be impeding your personal growth.

If you are interested in learning more about the ‘Nomad’ approach, feel free to visit my website, www.nomadtherapyservices.com, or contact me to schedule a complimentary 30 minute phone consultation.

Men often experience their mental health in ways that are unique to them, commonly influenced by societal and cultural expectations. For this reason, men in therapy benefit most when working with a therapist who truly understands men’s issues.

My goal as a therapist is to help men and their families to find their true potential in living happy and successful lives. Providing a judgement free environment with true empathy and unconditional positive regard, I work from an integrative and practical perspective, striving for both immediate and long lasting changes.

Johanna Karasik
MA, LPCC, NCC

Work stress just. doesn’t. stop. and “work-life balance” seems like an impossible feat. Your stress has been building for FAR too long; you can’t remember the last time you weren’t so overwhelmed or anxious. You can’t stand how irritable you’ve become, especially around those you love. Your go-to de-stressors just aren’t cutting it anymore – or it’s a struggle to use them, and you’re growing tired of your own procrastination, rumination, and withdrawing from others. You want to be more present in your life & relationships. You want to feel like your old self again – or a new, calmer self – on a path of continued growth and success.

You want more for yourself and are ready for change. I can help by co-creating a brave and safe space and validating you – especially when it feels like no one understands. We’ll rebuild coping skills for relief now and prevention later. I’ll challenge you (with care), offer accountability, laugh with you:), and use your strengths to help you meet your goals.

You’re struggling now and contacting therapists only to then wait for responses is frustrating. I do **free, confidential phone consults** to make sure that I can be of help to you before you commit to a counseling session. Skip the waiting and take another step toward relief now by scheduling a consult directly at www.definingpathcounseling.com/contact.

**Serving adults of all identities (typically ages 20s-50s) with stress, anxiety, depression, and career challenges. LGBTQ+ affirmative, social justice oriented, culturally responsive.**

Connie Luce
MA, LPC

Are you looking for a counselor who is both spiritually based and also a competent psychotherapist? I am honored to work with clients who are genuinely drawn to Inner Knowledge and Truth. I honor the wisdom of body, mind and spirit and know that healing and transformation are real. I have faith in the client’s own inner-healing capacity and therefore I support your own emerging self-direction.

I regard your spirituality as a resource in your healing and a guiding presence in your life. We invite and welcome the wounds that are ready to be healed along with the discovery of what is most needed to integrate and accept your full experience. Healing begins with awareness and acceptance of your thoughts, feelings and emotions. Transformation begins with the discovery of the underlying beliefs that determine how your world is perceived. Spiritual insight guides you to a deeper truer knowing. Healing is organic and natural in the context of safe and supportive relationships.

My orientation draws from the traditions of Western psychology, mindfulness-based body-centered psychotherapy and Eastern spirituality. Connie Luce, LPC, NLC has a Masters Degree in Transpersonal Counseling Psychology from Naropa University and is currently accepting new clients.

I believe it is how we respond to these difficulties that determines not only the extent of our suffering, but how we are able to transform our pain and loss into strength, power, and growth. The most impactful experience we can provide each other is to be fully present and listen to one another’s stories with open hearts and minds. Through transformative relationships and compassion for ourselves and others we find hope and effect change.

About Me

I am so grateful to be following my passion for helping others as a psychotherapist after pursuing a career in business for many years. I obtained my Master of Arts in Counseling, Clinical Mental Health from Regis University following my counseling internship with People House in the organization’s Affordable Counseling Program. I have mentored women in prison through the Center for Spirituality at Work’s Making Choices Program and currently provide bereavement support to survivors who have lost their loved ones as a volunteer with Exempla Lutheran Hospice.

I am honored to work with clients from all walks of life and warmly welcome individuals of all races, cultural backgrounds, sexual orientations, and gender identities.

Approach

I counsel adults from person centered, existential, mindfulness-based, attachment, emotion focused, and somatic theoretical perspectives. I utilize various treatment modalities tailored to your specific needs.

What does this mean to you?

I meet you where you’re at, and we formulate your goals for therapy together.
I believe that that you are capable of growth and change at any point in your life.
No matter how difficult your circumstances, you always have a choice in how you respond.
Experiencing your core emotions is the essential to reaching an openhearted state in which you are calm, curious, connected, compassionate, confident, and courageous.
We experience our emotions and hold our trauma in our bodies. Transformative healing is possible as we allow our bodies to process old wounds.
Your mind, body, and spirit are equally important to your health.
Practicing awareness and acceptance of your thoughts, feelings, and bodily sensations on purpose in the present moment is key to alleviating your suffering.
All change and growth are born of acceptance and compassion.

I look forward to accompanying you on your journey of healing, growth and change!
