I am Clare Comstock and I have a general psychotherapy practice in Arvada, Colorado, seeing both individual adults and couples. In addition to being a licensed psychotherapist in Colorado, I am also certified in Somatic Experiencing (SE) trauma therapy and work with both acute and chronic trauma symptoms. Below you will find a list of issues I specialize in to provide a starting point to see if you are in the right place.
After that you will find more detail about me, including how I see the process of psychotherapy, how I understand the meaning of symptoms, and what methods and orientations I use. Also, don't miss the Quote of the Month section, with a new, and hopefully thought provoking quote each month. In trying to cope with difficult life experiences, traumas, and societal pressures, we can split off parts of ourselves.
This can result in emotional and physical constriction and the loss of our natural rhythm, balance, and aliveness. Psychotherapy helps facilitate the journey back to integration and wholeness.

Mindfulness, as I think of it, is the art and practice of observing our mental, emotional, and physical states.
Mindfulness is the cultivation of an inner witness that can be present, in any given moment, with what is going on in our internal world.
The constantly shifting cognitive, emotional, and physical states can be noticed and given space.
Instead of being caught up in or identified with our thoughts and emotions, and impulses, there is the opportunity to observe them and begin to relate to them.

Somatic Psychotherapy, as I use it, explores sensations and patterns in the body, while also working with thoughts, emotions, images, dreams, etc.
As we become more embodied, we can become more present in the moment, able to experience ourselves and our aliveness more fully.
Our nervous system has room to move out of survival mode and reset.
Emotions and meaning become more accessible and clear.

SE, a form of somatic psychotherapy, is a psychobiological approach to resolving trauma, anxiety, and stress.

Jungian Psychology, as I see it and use it, focuses on the inner journey to wholeness and what Jung called "Individuation".
Based on the work of famous psychiatrist and psychotherapist, Carl Jung, this perspective views symptoms, such as anxiety and depression, as potential guides to the ways we have repressed parts of ourselves.
Therapy is the process of reclaiming and integrating these split off aspects of the Self towards more wholeness and aliveness.
These spit off parts are often referred to as the Shadow.

For listening to the stories of others, is a kind of water that breaks the fever of our isolation.
If we listen closely enough, we are soothed into remembering our common name.
There's an inner universe as vast and mysterious as the outer.
This includes images, archetypes, subtle feelings, intuitions and an inner realm of wisdom that is always available to us.
When you're young, the territory of the psyche is like a vast estate, with rolling hills, forests and plains, swamps and meadows.
So many things can be experienced, expressed, wanted, and loved.
