About Erik
Erik Peaslee believes that real personal growth comes from being authentic, not perfect. He helps clients by accepting life’s ups and downs and uses his genuine passion to support people as they face challenges and learn along the way.
In therapy, Erik welcomes imperfection and values authenticity. Clients say he is calm, grounded, and easy to talk to. He knows it’s common to feel shame or self-doubt in counseling, so he focuses on making people feel safe to be themselves. His approach is relational and practical, helping clients build awareness, work through pain, and accept change without pressure or judgment.
If you are dealing with anxiety, trauma, grief, or a big life change, Erik offers empathy and steady support. He cares about helping people find new self-worth, get through tough transitions, and understand how their past affects their present. He also works with couples and families who are struggling with communication, boundaries, or repairing relationships.
Erik works well with both teens and adults, offering support for academic, social, or identity challenges. As a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT), he has special experience helping neurodiverse clients, including children and teens who are learning to manage emotions and develop social skills.
Erik sees therapy as a team effort. He believes clients have their own wisdom and insight, and he helps them find and build on these strengths while learning new tools for growth. He respects each person’s pace and knows that real change takes time.
Outside of counseling, Erik is active in his local community. He has worked with Campus Connections at Colorado State University, supported children with autism, and helped small businesses in the area. He is finishing his Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Walden University and practices under supervision at Foundations Counseling.
Erik believes that healing and growth come from compassion and honesty. If you are working through trauma, facing changes, or looking for more peace, Erik is here to help.
