Sweetgrass Therapeutics

MEET THE OWNER

I’m Jessica Chacon (she/her/hers), a licensed professional counselor in the State of Colorado. I specialize in trauma informed care and utilize body-based practices such as yoga, EMDR, and AcuDetox to support clients through their healing journey. I am currently training as a Yoga Therapist with Inner Peace Yoga Therapy and am also working on my certification as a TRE provider (Trauma Releasing Exercises).

I have transitioned to private practice after serving as a therapist in the judicial system via community mental health, a family therapist with Open Sky Wilderness Therapy and a counselor for students at Adams State University. I received my Masters in Clinical/Mental Health Counseling from Adams State and my Bachelors in Kinesiology from Colorado Mesa University.

Prior to my career as a therapist, I worked in the sports and music industry with Kroenke Sports & Entertainment, as well as Red Rocks Amphitheatre-responding to incidents around the various venues. Not only did this career allow me to be paid for watching professional sports teams and live music, but it was also the catalyst to connecting me with my empathy and compassion for people in crisis.

In between my transition of careers, my life was flipped upside down and I fell into a dark space. During this journey, the practice of Yoga found me. I went on to study Hatha Yoga in Bali, Indonesia and later to study Kundalini Yoga in Crestone, CO. I have taught at the University, to collegiate sports teams, in high schools, studios, parks and on paddleboards. I teach mental health and yogic workshops, as well as host retreats across Colorado with my best friend. Yogic practices have changed my life-style…which is why I share the ancient teachings and techniques with clients today.

Our work together will be eclectic and centered around you; I am here to first and foremost provide safe, sacred space. I believe the relationship between counselor/client is the one of the most important aspects for healing, which is why I offer free 20-minute consultations to all interested clients.

You’re not in this alone-I am calling you in, so reach out!

Namaste,

Jessica
