Welcome

You've reached Maitreyi Prajna, LPC

I'm a clinical mental health therapist, licensed in the state of Colorado where I've been working in community mental health in person and virtual for over five years.

My private practice is fully virtual.

How did I get into this work? Well, I find the mind fascinating and I genuinely like people and helping people!

I have experience working well with most ages: from children ages 12+, adults as well as older adults. Together we will address and create understanding and relief from what's pressing on your heart and mind.

I offer a humanistic and evidence based interventions for life transitions, anxiety, depression, grief, suicidality, and trauma. I also love working with folks seeking direction and a deeper meaning for life through values based work, motivational interviewing and Socratic questioning. You can also ask me about meditation based Buddhist Psychotherapy interventions which have been derived under the guidance of my Guru.

I deeply value each of my patients and promise to do my best in the context of our shared 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.
