Welcome
You've reached Maitreyi Prajna, LPC (licensed professional counselor).
I'm a clinical mental health therapist, licensed in the state of Colorado where I've been working in the field for 5 years. Presently I work in community mental health both in person and virtually and in private practice virtually.
My personal practice gladly accepts children ages 12+, adults as well as older adults. We can work together to address and create relief from anxiety, depression, grief, suicidality, and trauma to name a few.
I deeply value each of my patients and promise to do my best in the context of our shared healing work together.
WHAT IS BUDDHIST PSYCHOLOGY/
CONTEMPLATIVE COUNSELING?
The Ways of Knowing the Mind are the major teachings of Buddha, also known Buddhist Psychology or the Abdhidhamma.
The practice of Buddhist Psychology as Contemplative Psychotherapy starts with building awareness through focusing 'experientials'. These mindful experientials generate potential for greater insight and meditation. Awareness and meditation are approaches towards experientially knowing your own mind.
A contemplative psychotherapist can help develop in this approach as a therapeutic journey.
What would it be like to address trauma, gain communication skills for great connection , and live life in a meaningful way, more in alignment with your values?
Traversing from microcosm to macrocosm of self, zooming in and zooming out for the bigger picture. The experience of Buddhist Psychology recognizes that we are inseparable from relationship with all creation as our natural environment and human nature.
In a contemplative therapy session you may also notice the opportunity to become at ease with experiences of awareness, gaps, space and groundlessness. All human experiences and expressions such as grief, trauma, life transitions, anxiety, depression, loss, end of life, disease, death and dying are welcome here.
