Tara Hedman
I am so honored to walk with individuals on their journey to find hope and wholeness. Life can be a complicated and devastating journey. Individuals who continue to walk through life bravely while carrying pain and confusion can find peace from the chaos. I specialize in counseling services to help broken hearts heals.
Helping mend shattered hearts is my specialty. My desire to help people comes from a place of personal understanding and experience. I spent many hours as a client in the counseling room and I know the vulnerability required to show up and consider telling the truth; maybe for the first time. It takes vulnerability, and often we feel that our vulnerability is what got us into the situation in the first place. Perhaps we’ve vowed never to be vulnerable again.
The importance of a safe, protected environment where you can open in your time is essential to the healing process. As your goals and desires may change over time, we approach them with gentleness and compassion in our counseling services. With great care, and a vision for a future where you are free to be the person you were born to be, we discover and recover your truest self.
I am a unlicensed psychotherapist in Colorado and bring extensive education, training, and experience in group therapy and individual therapy specific to PTSD, complex trauma, sexual abuse and aversion, relationship difficulties, anxiety and depression, and childhood abuse. I am level 3 trained and certified in Internal Family Systems.
My hope is that you find a compassionate, understanding setting for your heart to be heard and understood through our counseling services. Change is possible. You deserve to find hope on life’s journey. I would be honored to walk with you.

If you're looking to be cared for, I hope you'll give us a call. I'm the executive assistance at Hedman Counseling Center.
I love helping Tara and the team with what they need to run a smooth business and take good care for their clients. Helping build a strong team is exciting to me. I love being part of a team, but especially THIS team.
Helping create and uphold an atmosphere where we can all do what we do well, without fear or anxiety; where we're able to be ourselves and make mistake so we can all learn and grow together is my daily aim. When the team is well cared for, the clients are well cared for.
I handle a little bit of everything, from executive administrative duties, purchasing, and research, to training, scheduling, feedback, and staffing. Each of these items feels like a way to help Tara walk out her vision for the team and the clients we serve. I am a sounding board, problem solver, and provider of care for personnel.
It's a bit of a stealth position, in many ways. Being behind the scenes, making sure all the cogs in the wheel are in place and running well, thrills me. I like to find the things that need care before anyone else knows they do.
Our mission and vision are why I love being at Hedman Counseling Center. Being a part of a team, whose aim is to live with a free heart and help others find their way also, is a fantastic place to be. Come see one of our wonderful service providers. I'll be cheering you on from behind the scenes!

Hi! My name is Oliver, but everyone calls me Ollie. I work at Hedman Counseling Center. My favorite thing is greeting clients when they come in for one of our counseling services, so they feel welcome. I am kind of shy when I first meet new humans, but my mom says that's good, because each visitor can decide if they want to pet me or not.
Mostly I just chew on my bone while you talk to the nice counselors here. You can pet me, and I'll snuggle with you, but only if you want. Humans sometimes feel better saying scary or sad things if I am close by. My mom says I'm really good at knowing when humans are sad, so you can be sad as much as you need and I'll stay close by.
The more you come to see us, the more I'll know you and learn how best to comfort you during one of our counseling services. I get so excited when you come back and I get to see you and smell your shoes and coat. When you leave, I usually roll over so you can rub my belly. I really like that! And it's ok if you don't want to, it doesn't hurt my feelings at all. What you need is most important and maybe because I'm here you'll feel just a little bit better.
