Unearthing Choice Counseling
Therapy, Intensives, and Retreats in the heart of Denver, CO
Atsede Scarseth, MA, LPC, CIGT, TCYM, CYT-200
Therapist | Retreat Facilitator | Yoga Teacher
I specialize in helping highly sensitive, neurodivergent, and high-achieving folks build a greater understanding of themselves through a strength-based and trauma-informed approach to counseling. My role is to listen without judgment and empower you to choose the life you want and deserve.
What to Expect
A Trauma-Informed Approach
I understand how important safety and trust are in this work. That’s why I prioritize your comfort, honor your boundaries, and create a space where healing unfolds at your own pace. Trauma profoundly impacts our mind, body, and relationships, and together, we’ll work to untangle those effects in a way that feels empowering and supportive for you.
Support for Neurodivergent, Highly Sensitive, and High-Achieving People
If you’re navigating life as a neurodivergent thinker, a highly sensitive person, or someone who is always striving for excellence, I see you. This space is designed to meet you where you are—celebrating your strengths, addressing your challenges, and helping you thrive authentically in a world that isn’t always built for you.
Your Comfort Comes First
I want you to feel safe and supported every step of the way. If you need adjustments—whether that’s taking breaks, having quiet moments, or creating a sensory-friendly environment—I’m here to accommodate your needs. My priority is learning what helps you feel most comfortable to do the work.
Your Journey, Your Pace
Healing is a deeply personal process, and it looks different for everyone. Whether you’re here to deepen your self-understanding, strengthen your relationships, or explore innovative tools like KAP, I’m here to support you in finding a path that feels authentic and right for you. You don’t have to do this alone—let’s take the next step together.
Holistic and Innovative Healing Options
I take an integrative approach to healing, combining evidence-based therapies with body-based and experiential modalities to support you in the way that works best for your unique needs:
Individual Therapy Sessions
In our one-on-one work, we’ll explore your experiences, address your challenges, and develop tools to help you feel more grounded, resilient, and empowered.
Couples Therapy for Neurodivergent Partners
I work with couples navigating communication challenges, sensory sensitivities, or different neurodivergent experiences. Together, we’ll focus on fostering understanding, connection, and growth in your relationship.
Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP)
For those ready to explore deeper healing, I offer KAP in a safe and supportive setting. Using ketamine as a tool, these sessions can help unlock insights, ease treatment-resistant depression or anxiety, and create space for profound emotional release.
Trauma-Informed Yoga Therapy:
If you’re looking for a more somatic approach, I offer gentle movement, breathwork, and mindfulness practices designed to help you reconnect with your body and calm your nervous system in a trauma-sensitive way.
1-, 2- or 3-Day Intensives
Sometimes you need focused time to dive deep. These intensives are tailored to help you or you and your partner explore specific challenges, gain clarity, and leave with actionable tools for moving forward.
Transformational Retreats
Imagine stepping away from the stress of daily life to fully focus on yourself. My retreats are immersive, multi-day experiences in peaceful settings that allow for deep healing, connection, and restoration.
