A little bit about how I can help you

Hi, I’m Eileen. I’ve spent more than 25 years working in counseling and education. Helping people feel better and move toward their goals is still what drives me. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), and breathwork to shape a clear, practical therapeutic plan for change. Together, these approaches can be highly effective in reducing anxiety and improving overall well-being, sometimes in ways that feel new and long overdue. I also integrate insights from neuroscience, positive psychology, functional nutrition, and self-compassion practices to support your progress.

Over the years, I’ve worked with children, teens, adults, and families. That range of experience has deepened my understanding of how people grow, relate, and respond to life’s challenges. I use that perspective to create a plan tailored specifically to you and your situation.

Focused, practical and flexible

Let’s get to work

I’m results-oriented and committed to helping you make meaningful progress. Many clients find that meeting once a week for 50 minutes over about the course of 10 sessions leads to noticeable change. If that schedule doesn’t fit your life, we’ll adjust it so it does.

You set the direction

Our sessions focus on what feels most important to you. This can include something happening right now, unresolved past experiences, relationship concerns, persistent thoughts, or bigger life goals to name a few.

I’ll help guide the process

I’ll bring questions, insights, and tools to help you connect the dots and build new skills. I see this as a collaborative process, and I aim to make each session as useful and productive as possible.

If you’re ready to get started, send me an email or fill out the form at the bottom of the page to schedule your first session. If you’d prefer to ask a few questions first, feel free to reach out at eileen@eileenpurdy.com.

Working with me can take place in my cozy office, 1200 28th St., Suite 205, Boulder, CO 80303 or by video chat wherever it is convenient.
