Meet Dr. Beth O’Brien
Licensed Psychologist in Colorado
PACT Level 3 Couples Counselor
and Trauma Expert
Are You Struggling?
You’re in Good Hands With Dr. o’Brien
Do you want to live a happier, healthier, well-balanced life? If you have a partner, are you wanting to take steps that lead to a more secure, nurturing relationship? In my private practice, I counsel adults to facilitate couple and individual wellness. My work with couples is attachment based, helping couples build trust and deepen their connection. If you see me individually, I will help you develop your strengths and find tools to cope with challenging issues. My counseling style is active and warm, based on best clinical practices. With over 25 years of clinical experience, I am a seasoned therapist.
In addition to being PACT Level 3 trained, I am also a qualified trauma counselor. Upsetting events from the past can create emotional scars, and a partner may unknowingly trigger reactions which are difficult for couples to manage. You will have an opportunity to learn new skills which will shift your relationship into a safer, healing place. As a yoga teacher, I often integrate mindfulness-based approaches which reduce anxiety and stress and assist in managing high emotions between partners. In my free time, I like to mountain bike, hike, and cross- country ski with my fantastic family and energetic mini-Aussie.
