Bruce Kenyon, somatic psychotherapist

The heart of my work is inspired by three beliefs:

  • that you are inherently whole
  • that you are the expert of your own experience
  • that your body holds the wisdom necessary to exist in its natural state — adaptive, balanced, and resilient

I hold a Master of Arts in Somatic Counseling Psychology from Naropa University and have spent over fifteen years working as a Structural Integration therapist in Colorado and California. That work has taught me what the body inherently knows — and what opens up when structure, sensation, and emotion are met together.

A longstanding curiosity about consciousness, nature, and the transpersonal dimensions of human experience drew me toward Naropa and the lineage of somatic and contemplative psychology it carries. That orientation shapes how I view therapy — less about fixing what's broken, more about being present for what is real, and what is calling.

I navigate my own life largely through sensation — noticing what feels true in the body, and what doesn't. It is the same compass I bring to the work.

I am currently an LPCC in Colorado, seeing clients in person in Broomfield, walk and talk sessions in Lafayette / Boulder, and available via telehealth.

How We Work Together

This is not conventional talk therapy. While language matters, the body is the primary text — a living record of experience, adaptation, and longing. Our work begins there.

Somatic Psychotherapy

Body-centered psychological work that attends to sensation, breath, movement, and the nervous system as pathways into deeper understanding. We work with what the body is already saying — not to override it, but to listen more carefully.

Relational Presence

The therapeutic relationship itself becomes a space of contact and repair. Safety, attunement, and consent are foundational — not incidental — to the work. We bring curiosity and care to whatever arises, including the parts of you that have learned to protect, hide, or brace.

Integration

When appropriate, bodywork and somatic touch may be woven into the therapeutic process — not as a separate service, but as an integrative dimension of the work. Structure and emotion, body and psyche, are understood as one continuous story.
