Kristina Benson, Neuroaffirming Trauma Therapist

Welcome! My name is Kristina, and I support neurodivergent individuals (ADHDers, Autistic folks, AuDHDers, and Highly Sensitive People) through an affirming approach rooted in curiosity, creativity, and neuroscience. I understand how exhausting and challenging it can be to navigate a world that was not built for you. Through my lived experience as a neurodivergent (ADHD) individual, I recognize how important it is to feel seen, heard, and supported by someone who truly gets it. I love working with unconventional thinkers, creative souls, and deep feelers – those whose sensitivity is a gift and deserves to be met with dignity and respect. As we work together, we will collaborate to honor your wants and needs, deepen your understanding of yourself and your values, and develop sustainable practices and systems that work with your wiring rather than against it.

I work well with people navigating life transitions, processing trauma, moving through grief and loss, or yearning to understand their emotions and body sensations more fully. I realize that your time, energy, and attention are precious, finite resources, and I am here to help you prioritize what matters most to you. My approach integrates EMDR, Flash Technique, somatic therapy, mindfulness, existentialism, and nature based therapy. I offer individual therapy sessions and Neuro-affirming EMDR intensive therapy (½ day – 3 days of focused therapeutic work). Sessions are held at my office in Boulder, outside, or virtually across Colorado. I would love to hear from you if you are interested in working together!
