“Darling, I am here for you.” - Thich Nhat Hanh

counseling for athletes

Ash Langholz MA, NCC, LPCC, LMHCA

Whether you're seeking change, new tools for your toolbox, a place to process a life event, or self understanding, I'd like to welcome you. My practice is influenced by mindfulness, meaning, CBT, nature, and health psychology, however my approach is collaborative and unique to the personal goals of everyone I work with. Working with me, you can expect a human to human relationship, a compassionate place to bring all parts of you, to go deep, and occasionally laughter.

I took the scenic route to becoming a therapist. I first found my way to the mountains of the west and into a career in outdoor media with REI and The Dirtbag Diaries Podcast. As a skier, trail runner, and climber/mountaineer myself, I provide compassionate support for folks in mountain sports communities- including athletes, guides, and first responders. I have a deep understanding of the various highs and lows of an adventurous existence, the engines fueling constant pursuit, and the ways the outdoors can be a source of both pain and healing.

I’ve been on my own path, away from out-running, over-thinking and under-feeling toward the wisdom from slowing down to listen to mind, body and soul. I find great meaning in helping others tap into a wider, truer, more expansive and whole way of being. It’s a great honor to be a part of others’ journey and I look forward to being a part of yours.

Much of my practice is online, as I often work with folks in small, mountain communities. I do have limited availability for in-person meetings in office or on trails in the Fort Collins, Co area.
