"You are not weak just because your heart feels so heavy." - Andrea Gibson
Is there a part of you that believes life could be better than this?
None of us were meant to be this weary.​​
​
We were not born destined for depletion and constant productivity. We are all meant for rest, creativity, and joy, for dancing and breaking bread, for sleeping in peace.
​​​
We are all hungry for belonging.​
​
We ache for the security of real love and vibrant relationships, but far too often, pasts full of relational wounds keep us from building or restoring the connections we need to flourish.
​​​
We are all a little damaged.​
​
We all get stuck in the grooves of our personal pasts, the rules our culture or family have handed us, the legacies of trauma passed down from our ancestors, and the violence of our collective human history.
​​​
We are all capable of healing.​
​
But none of us can do it alone. We need experiences of safety, guides for the journey, communities of abundance, and above all, hope.
Anxiety and depression may have diagnostic codes, but they are not illnesses.
​​​
These experiences (what we call "mental health problems") are normal human responses to overwhelming stressors.
They are the outcry of a mind-body system under more pressure than it was designed to manage.
Mental health is really about the restoration of the soul.
I'm so happy you're here!
I'm Karyn Resch Brackney, but you can call me KC. As a Licensed Professional Counselor in the Denver Metro Area, I specialize in working with LGBTQ+ individuals, parents, young adults, and new mental health professionals. I work from an attachment-based perspective, combining somatic approaches like Somatic Experiencing™ with IFS-influenced parts work to treat trauma, anxiety & depression, and more within a framework that makes space for relational and sociocultural influences on both pain and wellness. If that sounds like a good fit, I would love to hear from you! Fill out the contact form below to get in touch.

You can learn more about me on my bio page, but the best way to get a feel for who I am and what it's like to work with me is to check out my blog! I'm a writer at heart, and I use my blog as a space for providing psychoeducation, discussing spirituality, sharing personal experiences that intersect with my work, offering a trauma-informed perspective on social or cultural issues, and sometimes just writing about fun stuff like hobbies, dating, and parenting adventures.
