Kris Abrams

Kris Abrams

Cortez, CO
Kris Abrams believes that every individual possesses the potential to lead a life filled with authenticity, connection, meaning, and joy. Despite this potential, many barriers exist, often rooted in societal expectations and early conditioning that suggest there is something inherently flawed about us—whether it is our size, gender, sexuality, race, talents, or aspirations. Additionally, experiences of trauma, including emotional and physical abuse, can compound these feelings of discontent. Consequently, it is not surprising that many struggle with unhappiness, depression, anxiety, self-doubt, and feelings of disempowerment. Kris understands that these challenges are intertwined, stemming from adaptive strategies we develop to navigate a challenging modern world. His approach to therapy emphasizes lasting healing through the recovery of past traumas and a reconnection with one's true self, allowing individuals to experience and live from a place of joy. In his therapeutic practice, Kris supports clients in engaging their entire being—mind, body, emotions, and spirit. He utilizes a holistic method that draws from various therapeutic modalities, including Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Somatic Therapy, and Nature-Based Psychotherapy. With a commitment to fostering resilience and self-empowerment, Kris creates a space conducive to healing and personal discovery.
