You feel a constant struggle between wanting and staying away from others

 

Getting too close Put you at risk, but staying far away doesn’t get you what you want. Its a constant cycle of forwards and backwards and nothing gives you that solid feeling. It shows up outwards in ways that don’t make sense. 

Sometimes you care for people, and the passion shows, maybe in overextension. Kind words, gift giving. You wait and hope for the return of affection in a similar way. With that, it never comes because you don’t know how to communicate it. There’s something inside you that pulls you back inward and isolates, lashing out when others actually care. 

 

You feel like a walking paradox and aren’t sure how you got here 

 

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.
You’re ready to explore a deeper path. One that allows for rock steady confidence in a world of crashing waves
 
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.

You don’t have to wander the dark woods alone anymore.

 

Let’s walk A new Path together.

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 in creative ways to help others find what skills alone can’t unlock. 

common questions

The short answer? Yes. 

The Long Answer:
I am In network with

  • Colorado Access Medicaid
  • multiPlan PHCS
  • Aetna, Cofinity, and FirstHealth
  • SANA Health Benefits
  • LyraHealth
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:

If your not using insurance: 
I determine my cash discounts based on the percentage of the livable wage, which is based on household size/family size and the county you live in. People at 100% of the livable wage receive a 50% discounted off what what is billed to the insurance company. 


If you’re using insurance. 
If you’re using insurance, you’ll see a reimbursement for most of that amount, depending on your plan. They determine the contract rates so that varies between insurances. The most you will ever pay is whats called you “out of pocket maximum”. I’m happy to explain your insurance benefits to you. 

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
