Joshua Flowers, LPC

Joshua Flowers approaches therapy from a stance that personal meaning can be discovered even amid joy and pain. He encourages exploration of possibilities and supports people as they find new pathways toward greater wholeness and purpose. Joshua emphasizes authentic therapeutic relationships, offering a compassionate setting where an individual narrative can unfold and new insights can emerge.

He draws on a long personal practice of mindfulness and frequently integrates mindfulness-based skills with existential, transpersonal, and somatic body-centered approaches. Joshua also uses trauma-focused methods including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to address difficult memories and experiences when appropriate. His clinical orientation is informed by client-centered work and motivational interviewing, with an emphasis on grounding somatic techniques and meaning-centered exploration.

Joshua’s clinical experience spans a variety of settings since the early 2000s. He has worked with adolescents in wilderness therapy, people in drug and alcohol treatment while incarcerated, homeless Veterans in transitional housing, and Veterans and military families in community mental health programs. He has maintained a private practice since 2015. Joshua holds professional counseling credentials in Colorado, including licensure as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and as a Licensed Addiction Counselor (LAC), and he explains what those roles mean when working with clients from other regions.

When working with individuals internationally, Joshua may provide services in a consultative or coaching capacity as required by licensure and local regulations, which can limit the ability to perform formal assessment, diagnosis, or treatment in some circumstances. Outside of clinical work, he enjoys running, biking, writing, and meditation, and he recently returned from living as an expat in Berlin for 1.5 years. His formal training includes EMDR coursework, a master’s degree in counseling psychology from Regis University, and a bachelor’s degree in social work from Colorado State University.
