Contemplative Caregiver – Together We Heal, Together We Thrive

Mental Health Counseling, Workshops, Retreats, and Professional Support for Caregivers

Contemplative Caregiver supports family and professional caregivers as they care for others, carry complex responsibilities, and navigate the emotional realities of caregiving.

We offer mental health counseling, clinical supervision, creative workshops, retreats, and professional development opportunities for caregivers and helping professionals in Colorado and online. Outdoor sessions are available in Colorado.

Our work is grounded in compassion, practical support, and respect for the lived experience of caregiving. We help caregivers of all identities reconnect with balance, self-compassion, meaning, and hope.

Flexible payment options are available, including insurance, employee assistance programs, private pay, and a low-income sliding scale partnership with Open Path Collective.

If you are a caregiver who could use support, we would be honored to walk with you. If you are a family or professional caregiver who wants to collaborate, share your story, or help strengthen caregiver support across the Rocky Mountains, we would love to connect.

Services:

Counseling

Counseling is available online and in person in Colorado.

We support caregivers experiencing anxiety, depression, anger, grief, burnout, identity shifts, and the emotional weight that can come with caring for another person. Sessions offer space to be heard, understood, and supported while also building practical tools for steadier coping and sustainable care.

Schedule a free 15-minute consultation to share your story and explore whether Contemplative Caregiver is the right fit for your needs.

Clinical Supervision

Contemplative Caregiver also offers clinical supervision for emerging mental health professionals who want reflective, grounded, and trauma-sensitive support as they grow in the field.

Supervision is especially aligned with clinicians interested in caregiving, grief, mindfulness-based practice, outdoor and nature-based therapy, culturally responsive care, and the emotional complexity of helping professions.

Workshops

Our workshops are designed for personal growth, professional development, creative expression, and community connection.

Brush With Grief invites participants to work with natural materials, memory, and embodied creativity as a way to carry grief differently. The Caregiving Years offers caregivers and professionals a framework for understanding the changing roles, responsibilities, and meaning that unfold across the caregiving journey.

In partnership with CareYearsAcademy.com and CaringOurWay.com, we also support participants who want to turn their caregiving experience into meaningful, values-driven work. Through a CEU-providing 120-hour course, participants can become Certified Caregiving Consultants equipped to support others through their own caregiving journeys.

Therapeutic Retreats

Retreats offer a spacious pause for your nervous system, your body, and your spirit.

Through grounding practices, reflection, nature-based healing, and community connection, our retreats create room to restore, recharge, and return home with renewed insight and strength.

Upcoming Events

Brush With Grief Programs

Grief lives in the body — sometimes, making something with our hands helps us carry it differently. Join us for Brush With Grief, a creative workshop where you’ll craft a personal brush from partners such as elk, moose, raccoon fur, wood, and plants. You’re also welcome to bring fur, feathers, or mementos from a pet, or hair from a loved one to include in your piece.

Facilitated by Andrew Koch, LPC.
Materials provided. Donations welcome for free events.

Your Healing, Your Way!

Caregiving asks a lot of the human spirit. It can be beautiful, disorienting, exhausting, meaningful, lonely, and deeply human all at once.

At Contemplative Caregiver, you do not have to sort through that alone.

Whether you are looking for counseling, clinical supervision, a creative workshop, a retreat, or a professional community that understands the weight and meaning of care, you are welcome here.

/If you are ready for steadier ground, steadier breath, or simply someone to walk beside you for a while, reach out.

We are here to support you, honor your story, and help you build a life that feels more sustainable and whole.

Let’s begin when you’re ready.
