Ainsley Nuhn

Reframe Counseling, LLC Boulder County, Colorado My name is Ainsley Nuhn, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Colorado. I've spent over 25 years supporting Coloradans in Boulder and beyond- including time at the University of Colorado, Boulder Valley School District, Mental Health Partners, and Children's Hospital Colorado. Today I work in private practice and partner with the national non-profit, Extreme Weather Survivors organization. What I work with: - Trauma, PTSD, and post-traumatic growth - Anxiety, grief, and major life transitions - Family and partner relationship challenges - ADHD, OCD, and neurodivergence - Academic and work stress - Post-disaster recovery - Mid-life navigation: career, parenting, education, relationships - Young adults and teens transitioning into adulthood My approach I see the nervous system as a frame shaping our every experience. Everything we think, feel, and do makes up the picture we see within that frame. When the frame is flexible, life can move through us with more ease. When stress, adversity, or trauma have worn on that frame, the picture inside it can start to look faded, fragmented, or blurry. You might recognize some of this if you find yourself: - Stuck in jobs, relationships, or patterns that leave you feeling drained - Stuck in cognitive loops and rumination - Hindered by compulsions - Caught between what you value and what you're actually doing - Frustrated by things outside your control - Wondering how you ended up where you are - Cycling between agitation and low motivation, without knowing why - Working against a brain that struggles with focus, time, procrastination and follow-through What We'll Do Together We'll get curious and explore how your unique frame has been shaping the picture of your current life, how adaptive strategies evolved and discern what is helpful from what is holding you back. We'll explore the parts of the picture that feel warped, blurred, or stuck, and work to bring them back into focus. We'll find what actually helps your nervous system settle and recalibrate, actually reshaping the frame of your nervous system, so it can hold the picture of your life the way it's meant to be held. We'll get to know the different parts of you, what each one needs, what might have gone missing along the way, and make room to grieve what was lost. I draw from Internal Family Systems (IFS), Somatic awareness and EMDR, Mindfulness, Attachment theory, Polyvagal theory, ACT, DBT, and ERP- tailoring the mix to what fits you. If you're ready for a reframe, I'd love to hear from you. Let's build something resilient and adaptive enough to hold the full picture of your life.
