The Method
What is Transpersonal Psychology?
Transpersonal psychology is talk therapy that treats meaning, purpose, and the sense of something larger than yourself as real clinical material. It grew out of humanistic psychology in the late 1960s. Abraham Maslow and a few colleagues argued that psychology had no good way to talk about the parts of life people find most significant.
Colorado Women’s Center is designed for women. Every therapist here works with women, so you won’t spend your first session explaining context that should already be understood. Transpersonal psychology for women is one of the approaches you’ll find among our therapy methods. It works inside whatever framework you already hold, whether that’s religious, spiritual, secular, or still unsettled. Most women pair it with another approach instead of using it on its own.
Your framework, taken seriously, whatever it is.
Our Promise to You
We Guarantee Our Therapist Matching
Telling somebody what you actually believe is a great deal to hand to a person you’re not sure about yet. You shouldn’t have to gamble on that. If the first match isn’t right, tell us and we’ll match you with another at no additional cost.

What Transpersonal Psychology for Women Helps With
Women reach for this work when the question is less about symptoms and more about meaning. None of it has to reach a crisis before it’s worth bringing in. These are what women bring to it at Colorado Women’s Center.
Grief and What It Opens Up
You can be past the worst of the grieving and still be carrying questions about what happens afterward, and what any of it amounted to. Grief therapy for women in this approach makes room for those questions.
Worth Tied to Output
When your sense of value runs on achievement, a slow year starts to feel like a verdict on you. Self-esteem therapy for women here works on what your worth is anchored to once the achieving stops.
Losing the Thread of Why
Everything is fine and you can’t say why any of it matters. Say that out loud and it often gets heard as ingratitude. Here it gets taken as the real question it is.
Questioning the Faith You Were Raised In
Leaving, doubting, or renegotiating a religion you grew up inside costs more than people outside it understand. Your therapist holds that without arguing you in either direction.
Experiences You Haven’t Told Anyone
Something happened that doesn’t fit the categories you were handed for it, and you’ve kept it to yourself since. You can describe it here without it being filed away.
Life Transitions
A divorce, a diagnosis, a milestone birthday, or a child leaving home all raise the larger questions alongside the practical ones. You don’t have to pick which one to bring.
Facing Illness or Mortality
The illness might be yours or somebody else’s. Some of what comes up is medical and belongs with a doctor. The part that isn’t medical still needs somewhere to go.
Trauma That Shook What You Believed
After something traumatic, your assumptions about fairness and safety can go down with everything else. Rebuilding those is a separate job from processing the memory.
Feeling Disconnected
You feel cut off from people, from work, and from any sense of being part of something larger. Your therapist treats that as a real condition and works on it directly.
Our Approach
How This Work Runs at Colorado Women’s Center
You get the same room and the same therapist, with a wider set of questions allowed inside it.
Start With a Match Call
You begin with a Wellness Coordinator. She asks what you’re looking for, including whether you want a therapist comfortable working with meaning and belief. Then she matches you on that, on which office suits you, and on specialty.
Your Framework, Not Hers
You start from what you already believe, or from what you’re still working out. That might be a religion, a practice, something you have no name for, or nothing at all. Your therapist helps you think clearly inside your own frame, and nobody here is going to recruit you into anything.
The Ordinary Work Still Happens
This doesn’t replace treating what needs treating. If you’re depressed, that gets addressed. The big questions and the clinical symptoms usually turn up together, and your therapist takes on both.
Five Offices or Online
You can do this work in Boulder, Denver, Fort Collins, Broomfield, or Longmont, or over secure video from anywhere in Colorado. Sessions run seven days a week, 8am to 8pm.

Common Questions
Questions Women Ask Us About This Work
Do I have to be religious to do this?
No. Plenty of women doing this work wouldn’t describe themselves as religious or even as spiritual. What the approach takes seriously is the set of questions about meaning, purpose, and what your life is for. Those turn up whatever you happen to believe about where the answers come from.
Will my therapist bring her own beliefs into it?
Not as something for you to adopt. Your therapist has her own views and the room isn’t the place for them. Her work is to help you think clearly inside your own framework, including when yours differs from hers. If that ever stops feeling true, say so, and the matching guarantee is there for exactly that.
If I describe an unusual experience, will I be treated as unwell?
Not automatically. A lot of women hold experiences like this back because they expect to be assessed instead of heard. A therapist working this way can take the experience seriously as something that meant something to you. She’s also a clinician, so if something looks like it needs clinical attention she will say so plainly. Both of those are part of the job.
Is what I say confidential?
Yes, within the narrow legal exceptions every therapist in Colorado works under. That covers anything you bring about belief, doubt, or an experience you’ve never told anyone. Your therapist walks you through those exceptions at the start, so you know where you stand before you say anything.
Does this work online?
Yes. It’s conversation, so it carries over to video without much loss, and some women find the harder subjects easier to raise from their own room. Sessions run over secure video anywhere in Colorado. Our online therapy page has the details.
How long does it take?
That’s decided between you and your therapist rather than set in advance. It depends on what you’re bringing in and how the questions develop once you start on them. Your therapist builds a plan with you early on and revisits it with you as things change.
How soon can I start?
Match Calls are usually available within 48 hours, often within 24. Most clients are with a therapist within about a week, depending on their own availability. Offices are open seven days a week, 8am to 8pm, and online sessions run the same hours. Call 720.810.2355 or use the form on this page.
