KP Hartman

Hi, I’m KP Hartman, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Addictions Counselor (LAC) in Colorado with additional training in EMDR. I specialize in trauma, stress, and addiction.

I work with people who are used to performing, pushing through, and being the person others rely on—but may be struggling privately with anxiety, burnout, perfectionism, trauma, substance use, or the pressure to always be “on.”

I’m also a personal trainer and incorporate the mind-body connection into my work. When appropriate, movement and physical activity can become part of the therapeutic process—not as another performance goal, but as a tool for regulation, grounding, and connection.

My background is in International Disaster Psychology: Trauma and Global Mental Health from the University of Denver, and I have extensive experience working with complex trauma, adversity, and individuals under constant pressure.

You don’t have to stop striving to start taking care of yourself. Therapy can help you perform well while living well, too.

My approach connects mental and physical well-being, with an emphasis on helping you understand what your mind and body are telling you. I believe meaningful change happens when we create enough safety to slow down, tune in, and build a stronger relationship with ourselves.

I integrate trauma-informed and somatic approaches, and when it fits your goals, movement and physical activity can be part of our work. Whether you’re recovering from complex trauma, managing chronic stress, or navigating the demands of a high-pressure environment, we’ll work toward helping you feel more regulated, grounded, and connected—both in and outside of the therapy room.

Our first session is a low-pressure opportunity to get to know each other and see if we’re a good fit. You don’t have to walk in ready to trust me or tell me everything. Trust is built over time, and we’ll move at a pace that feels manageable for you.

We’ll talk about what brought you in, what you want from therapy, and what you hope might be different. You’re in control of what you share and how quickly we go. My goal is for our work to feel collaborative, practical, and grounded from the very beginning.

Healing isn’t about fixing yourself or pushing through one more challenge. It’s about creating the space to recover, understand yourself, and build a life that is sustainable—not just successful on the outside.

Starting therapy can feel uncomfortable, especially if you’re used to handling things on your own. You don’t have to figure it all out before you reach out. Together, we can create a space where you can slow down, build the tools you need, and reconnect with what helps you feel strong—mentally and physically.

If you’re ready to approach your mental health with the same intention you bring to the rest of your life, I’d be glad to work with you.
