Somatic Therapy for Colorado residents
Depth-oriented, trauma-informed psychotherapy for individuals and couples navigating the weight of unprocessed experience. Available throughout Colorado via secure telehealth.
Depth-Oriented Care,
Available to You
I am Dr. Chanin Hardwick (PhD, LPCC, C-IAYT), a licensed psychotherapist and certified yoga therapist. My work sits at the intersection of evidence-based clinical care, somatic awareness, and depth psychology. I founded Embodied Soul Psychotherapy® on the conviction that lasting healing requires more than insight alone. It asks for the body's full participation.
I am licensed to practice in Colorado and offer secure telehealth sessions for individuals and couples throughout the state, from Denver and Boulder to Colorado Springs, Fort Collins, and beyond.
My approach is integrative and highly individualized. I draw from a range of evidence-based modalities based on each person's unique history, presenting concerns, and nervous system, rather than applying a fixed protocol.

Healing in a State That
Values Achievement
Colorado carries a particular cultural current, one that celebrates physical vitality, outdoor accomplishment, and self-sufficiency. For many people living here, that culture can quietly reinforce the idea that struggle should be managed, not felt, and that asking for help is a step backward rather than a courageous one.
But insight and self-sufficiency, however well-developed, are not the same as integration. Many of the people I work with are high-functioning, even deeply self-aware, and still find themselves caught in patterns they cannot simply think or discipline their way out of. This is not a failure of resilience. It is a signal that something deeper is asking for attention.
Somatic, depth-oriented therapy offers a different kind of access, one that honors both the drive and the complexity underneath it. Whether you are navigating professional burnout in Denver, relational patterns that repeat despite your best efforts, or the quieter experience of feeling disconnected from yourself despite an outwardly full life, this work offers a space that can hold all of it.
An Integrative Framework,
Tailored to You
No two people arrive with the same history, the same nervous system, or the same readiness. I draw from a range of evidence-based modalities, choosing and combining them based on each person's unique presentation rather than following a fixed protocol.
When Insight Isn’t Enough Anymore
Many Colorado clients arrive already self-aware. They've read the books, done the work, maybe tried coaching or structured therapy. And still something hasn't shifted. Somatic-informed work addresses what insight alone often can't reach: the patterns the nervous system holds below the level of conscious understanding. Learn more about the approach →
When the Body is the Last Frontier
For many high-functioning people, the body has become another project to optimize: tracked, trained, managed. Yoga Nidra and embodied practice offer something different. A quality of attention that isn't about performance. Used within the therapeutic frame, these practices support the kind of nervous system rest that reorganizes something rather than just pausing it.

The Higher Achiever’s Inner Conflict
High performance and deep unease can coexist. Many people I work with are thriving by external measures and quietly exhausted, cut off from their own experience, or running a relentless inner critic that success has never quieted. Internal Family Systems (IFS) offers a way to understand those competing internal forces with compassion rather than more discipline.
Relational Patterns That Survive Every Good Intention
Couples and individuals I work with often describe knowing exactly what they're doing in a relationship dynamic and feeling unable to stop doing it. Integral Somatic Psychology (ISP) works at the level where those patterns are actually held, in the body's felt sense, rather than in the story told about them.
Burnout That Goes Deeper Than Rest
Colorado's culture celebrates pushing limits, and many people find they've pushed past a threshold that a vacation or a long weekend can't touch. Polyvagal-informed therapy helps us understand what the nervous system is actually asking for, and creates conditions where genuine restoration, not just recovery, becomes possible.
Trauma That Doesn’t Look Like Trauma
Not all trauma arrives in identifiable events. Developmental experiences, relational ruptures, chronic stress, and the slower accumulation of not being seen or known can shape the nervous system just as profoundly. EMDR, integrated within a somatic and relational framework, offers a structured pathway for processing what has stayed lodged. Read more on the blog →

You May Recognize
Yourself Here
I work with high-functioning adults and couples who have often done the work of self-examination and are seeking a depth of care that matches what they already know about themselves. Colorado clients I work with frequently navigate:
Complex or developmental trauma that hasn't fully resolved through previous therapy
Burnout, perfectionism, and the quiet loss of self that comes with sustained high performance
Relational patterns that repeat despite awareness and intention to change
Grief, identity transitions, and the disorientation of major life thresholds
Spiritual emergence, meaning-making, and questions of purpose that don't fit neatly into secular frameworks
Couples seeking to move from cycles of disconnection toward something more honest and sustainable
Telehealth sessions make it possible for me to work with clients throughout Colorado, from Denver and Boulder to Colorado Springs, Fort Collins, Pueblo, and beyond.
Before You Begin: Questions Worth Sitting With
-
Yes. I hold a Colorado license and offer secure telehealth sessions to clients throughout the state. Whether you are in Denver, Boulder, Colorado Springs, Fort Collins, or a smaller community, distance is not a barrier to beginning this work. Reach out to schedule a consultation →
-
Talk therapy primarily engages the mind, working through language, insight, and narrative. Somatic therapy invites the body into the process, recognizing that the nervous system holds much of what we carry. This is not about dismissing the value of insight. It is about adding another layer of access. Many clients find that somatic work helps them move through patterns that years of talk therapy alone have not fully shifted.

-
Yes. I work with both individuals and couples. Couples work draws from an integrative range of modalities, including attachment-based and somatic approaches, tailored to what each partnership needs. Sessions are conducted via secure telehealth for Colorado couples.
-
Embodied Soul Psychotherapy® is a private-pay practice. Some clients are able to submit for out-of-network reimbursement through their insurance provider. I can provide a superbill to support that process. Contact me for more information →

An initial session is primarily a conversation. I take time to understand what has brought you to this moment, and you will get a sense of my approach and whether it feels like a fit. There is no pressure to decide quickly. The early sessions also include collaborative goal-setting and an introduction to how somatic and integrative work is woven into the therapeutic process.
