Your needs and dreams sit like your coffee: cold, forgotten, and given the empty promise that it will be enjoyed one day.

You start your day with the burden of other people’s problems—a pack you’re willing to carry. It’s the noble thing to do. Selfless. It helps you earn that 3% raise every year. Plus, you make it to 5pm quicker by working through your legally required 15-minute breaks and 30-minute lunch.

With a racing mind and deadlines crushing you, you accidentally ignore Jeff and his archaic, dinosaur perspectives as he sighs when you include your pronouns during introductions. He became white noise a long while ago anyway.

And there is your coffee. Just sitting there.

Waiting. Patiently,

Longing for you 

Like the way you ignore your own feelings, you ignore your oat milk, add two shots, with whip cream coffee’s longing to be enjoyed. Appreciated. It doesn’t want to be a burden upon you, so it sits quietly.

You take a quick sip—never long enough to actually enjoy the warmth it fills you with.

If the answer were simple, Life and Previous Therapist would've given it to you already.

The “atta boy/girl” you get in passing tastes like emotional nectar directly from the gods themselves. You’re starving to be seen, but you haven’t figured out why.
 
Past therapists have told you to “practice breathing deeply” and “journal your thoughts” to try and get to the bottom of it. But the directionless sailing the other six days of the week you don’t see them? That left you stranded at sea.

You’ve tried to commune with the control freak underneath. The anxiety that transforms into anger when it slips past your filter—so you try to be punny to hide the monster within. You journal to try and get close, but that just sends you off with more questions. Your journal filled with side quests. Interrogations unfulfilled.

You've been searching for something different, and you're tired of settling.

you’ve tried the once-a-week therapy thing. It helps—sort of. But six days between sessions? That’s a lot of time to spiral, second-guess, and feel like you’re white-knuckling it alone.

What you’re craving is support that doesn’t disappear between appointments. Continuity. A therapist who actually knows what’s happening in your life week to week. A space where you’re not starting from scratch every single session.
 
It’s like finally getting that full cup of coffee—warm, delicious, satisfying. The kind that actually meets your needs instead of leaving you halfway full and wondering if this is as good as it gets.
 
The problem? Most therapy practices don’t offer that.
 
So you take what you can get and hope it’ll work—even though you know the resentment builds further and further. The cold coffee sits. The chaos continues. And you’re left wondering if you’ll ever feel rooted again.

Even when you escape to try and find the truth, you get lost in your mind.

The worries of the human-built world weigh you down as you search for curiosity again. For peace. For you.
 
There’s a fear that drives you to worry about others, take care of them, and make their needs more important than your own. You can’t quite connect where this fear comes from, but it’s been a companion for most of your life.
 
You don’t know any other way.
 
You long for a guide who walks you through the process of building a healthy, well life—one that balances the needs of others with your own care and desires. One that soothes the fear that causes you to abandon yourself.
 
You’re ready to explore a deeper path. One that puts you as the main character.
 
A path to the place of liminality—the threshold between the old and the new. Between chaos and rootedness. Between losing yourself and finally coming home.

Walk the Liminal Path—a new way forward.

This isn’t once-a-week therapy where you’re left to figure it out alone between sessions. The Liminal Path is comprehensive, continuous support designed to help you:
  • Go deep in individual therapy—weekly sessions that build on each other, not start from scratch
  • Build skills to manage daily crisis and distress—so you’re not white-knuckling it through the week
  • Creatively explore yourself and share bravely with others—in a group that gets it
  • Find haven in the natural world—and experience it in a reciprocal, healing way
  • Have a guide with you every step—available when you need support, not just on appointment day

Lead Guide down the Liminal Path

Howdy hey, weary traveler.
 
I help fed-up, exhausted, and resentful people pleasers transform chaotic minds and volatile emotions into grounded, rooted healing.
 
I’m Tim. I built the Liminal Path for you—but I found it because I needed it first.
I got lost because I wasn’t honoring what I knew was right for me. And it fucking sucked.
So I went searching for myself and came back to what I knew has helped me: therapy that goes deep, creative writing to find my inner wisdom, and nature retreats to fall in love with my soul again—and the natural world that can witness it.
 
I created the Liminal Path because the support I needed didn’t exist. Now it does. And it’s here for you.

common questions

The short answer? Yes. 

The Long Answer:
I am In netowrk with Colorado Access Medicaid, Lyra Health, and SANA Health Benefits

For all other insurances, you may have out-of-network benefits, which means insurance will reimburse you for a portion of our session cost. I’ve partnered with Thrizer to handle the out-of-network process automatically for you. With Thrizer, you’ll only pay a copay for our sessions instead of paying my full fee and waiting for reimbursements. This typically allows clients to save an average of 70% upfront on sessions.
 
During our intake process, I can help you verify if you have out-of-network benefits and how much your co-insurance would be.
 
Additionally: If you have Lyra Health EAP, your individual therapy may be free for the first 6–12 sessions, then covered by insurance afterwards.

If you have out of network benefits, you can use Thrizer to make therapy WAY financially feasible. The way it works is after you meet your out-of-network deductible, Thrizer does the billing on my behalf. They make it so you only have to pay what you’d owe after reimbursement, and still pay me in full (it really is a win win).

You Can View An Example Here (the examply are not my actual fees).

I sure do! I’m credentialed with Lyra Health EAP for individual therapy.
 
If you don’t have Lyra through your employer, be sure to ask your partner (if you have one). Benefits are typically available for the person working for the company and their family.
 
Note: Group therapy is not covered by EAP services and is paid out-of-network.
Depends on if you’re using insurance. 
 
What I bill for is $170 for individual therapy sessions and $75 for group therapy sessions. If you’re using insurance, you’ll see a reimbursement for most of that amount, depending on your plan. 
 
How do I determine the fee? I have a specific number of slots at each price point to make it as equitable as possible. Feel free to ask me what’s available—and if you have the courage to negotiate with me, you might be surprised at what you can get the price down to.
 
This does not include the use of EAP or your insurance plans with Thrizer, which often helps very much. I’m also willing to do single case agreements, where your insurance considers me “in-network”—but there are no guarantees on this being successful.

I sure do! The Liminal Path has been designed to be all-encompassing and provide care directly to you. That means you get the benefit of having my time when you need it. We’ll have a secure messaging platform to keep your privacy protected.

I get it—groups give you the heebie-jeebies and make you uncomfortable. But the Liminal Path has been designed intentionally to include all of the elements that come with it. Taking one portion out is like only halfway packing for a camping trip. It’ll be incomplete, miserable, and you’ll end early.

It sure is. But how much are you willing to invest in your mental health?

I help all kinds of people. If you’re a:
  • People pleaser or need hider
  • Minimizer of your own emotions or experiences
  • Someone who needs more support than just 1:1 therapy
  • “I-don’t-know-how-to-ask-for-help-and-don’t-want-to-burden-everyone-with-my-shit-because-what-I-have-is-traumatic-and-hurt-me-so-I-don’t-want-to-hurt-others” type of person
Then I’m here for you.
 
But if it helps, I’ll write down some different populations and people I’ve worked with before:
 
Populations:
  • Business workers and professionals stuck in the daily grind who have lost who they are
  • EMTs and paramedics, firefighters, law enforcement, ex-military, nurses, and doctors who are burned out from patient care and want to learn how to care for themselves
  • Students, teachers, and education professionals who are exhausted by the system they work in
  • Exhausted tech workers with demanding jobs and poor work boundaries
  • And many more…
As far as a diagnosis goes, they tend to be focused on getting your bills paid by the insurance companies and don’t quite fit current mental health needs. So fuck Big Insurance and Healthcare.
But many people I meet and work with carry or find themselves meeting criteria for:
  • Depression & Anxiety
  • Borderline Personality Disorder
  • PTSD
  • Complex PTSD
  • In Recovery from Addiction
  • ADHD
  • Other forms of neurodiversity
