hi there! i’m mimi connell (they/she)
i’m a licensed therapist and nutritionist in colorado. i offer in person and walk and talk sessions in leadville and frisco, and online therapy throughout the state.
i tend to work with clients who describe themselves as self aware and understand how to intellectualize their feelings, but want support in how to feel these feelings in their bodies. Maybe you learned at some point to put other's needs before their own and know how to compartmentalize very well.
This will be a space dedicated to your wants, needs and story.
LPCC, nutritionist, YRT
specializations
we might be a good fit if you:
are a therapist, care giver, or work in caring or people profession
experienced trauma(s) at some point in your journey
have (or had) some form of disordered eating or eating disorder (whats the difference? i’m so glad you asked, let’s talk about it!) and want to explore your relationship with food
are in the lgbtqia2s+ community
are (or think you might be) neurodivergent
wanting to feel your feelings in your body instead of compartmentalizing, intellectualizing, people pleasing, etc.
my approach to therapy is grounded in a holistic, trauma informed and gender affirming perspective, seeing the whole person in front of me, and the systems and socialization that has shaped them
my nutrition approach encourages a deepened connection to your body and its needs, based in anti-diet, intuitive eating, Restoring Body Trust and health at every size (HAES) frameworks.
i do not provide “meal plans” or weight loss advice.
types of therapy i utilize
together we will explore the type of therapy that best fits your needs, but here are some of the modalities that influence my practice:
body oriented (somatic) therapy
EMDR therapy
polyvagal theory
internal family systems (parts work)
attachment theory
expressive arts therapy
mindfulness based
let’s work together
