Brett Astor, MA LPC

I view my role as a psychotherapist as a facilitator of the healing and growing process that is emerging in you. Whatever symptoms you are experiencing, rather than being seen solely as “problems” that need to be fixed or eliminated, they may be understood from the perspective of a natural, innate movement toward more wholeness. By learning how to bring awareness to what is arising in our direct felt experience, with a sense of curiosity and gentleness, we engage a process that can bring clarity and relief, dissolving the barriers to feeling better

I offer individual psychotherapy, couple therapy, and ketamine assisted psychotherapy (KAP). I work primarily from somatically-oriented Gestalt Therapy and Internal Family Systems (IFS) perspectives. I am a Certified Level 2 PACT(Psychobiological Approach to Couple Therapy) practitioner, and this approach guides my approach with couples and relationship challenges. I hold a Certificate in Ketamine and Psychedelic Medicine from the Psychedelic Research and Training Institute (PRATI). 

I’m a husband, a father of 2 young children. I hold an MBA from the University of Michigan’s Ross School of Business, and an M.A. in Transpersonal Counseling Psychology from Naropa University. Since 2004 I’ve studied and practiced Buddhist meditation with teachers in the Theravada, Tibetan and Zen traditions. I have engaged wholeheartedly in my own personal path of healing and growth, and I welcome the opportunity to support you in yours.

When I’m not working or being a father and husband, you’ll usually find me running the trails around Boulder with a group of close friends.
