Services
Evolve in Nature adopts a therapeutic approach that involves collaborating with clients to alleviate their present discomfort and reduce their long-term suffering. This approach is a compassionate and cooperative process of body-centered psychotherapy, where clients engage in feeling their bodily sensations, recognizing their emotions, identifying any attachments or associations with those emotions, and enabling the release of stored emotions to provide relief. 
We believe that our bodies store the stories of our lives. Therefore, mental and physical wellness go hand in hand. Our practice is informed by evidence-based scientific research from neuroscience, betrayal trauma, complex trauma, mindfulness and meditation practices, somatic psychotherapy, nature-based therapy, grief therapy, and other general therapeutic approaches to treat chronic pain. 
As your psychotherapists, we’ll work alongside you to achieve relief in the present moment and reduce suffering over time. This therapeutic approach is a collaborative, caring process of body-centered psychotherapy in which the client participates in feeling the sensations of their body, identifies emotions, names any attachments or associations with those emotions, and allows stored emotions to move through the body, thereby offering relief. 
Talking to a couple’s therapist takes courage! A relationship specialist provides a place where these issues can be explored and expressed without the world coming to an end. Our role is to offer a safe and informed space in which difficult feelings and thoughts can be explored between the couple without judgment or blame. At times, developing new communication skills transforms a relationship, and at other times what is necessary is deep work to create a new marriage with new agreements and new ways of connecting that were once thought impossible. We encourage and support you stepping into understanding one another, building secure attachment, transparent communication, deep, passionate, and intimate love, and an exploration of your sexuality.

In my practice as a psychotherapist, it is my goal to help create a space in which people can feel safe and comfortable in their process of transformation and healing. I acknowledge that each person’s journey in life and in therapy is uniquely their own. I offer a creative and collaborative approach to setting intentions and goals with you in order to provide a supportive and generative alliance tailored to your needs. Always operating from a space of non-judgment, curiosity, and compassion it is my hope to facilitate and witness the growth, expansion, and evolution of mind, body, and spirit that accompany the process of psychotherapy.

It is an honor to hold a career as a psychotherapist, generating more healing and creating more love. I enjoy teaching people how to better understand themselves, move toward healthy behaviors, create loving relationships, and reclaim wholeness, connection, and a meaningful life. I work from a holistic perspective, blending body-centered psychotherapy, mindfulness, and nature based elements to help individuals and couple's thrive. Sessions involve collaborating on an integrative treatment approach, combining insight, skills-based techniques, and creating objectives to meet goals and help clients understand how their past experiences and relationships shape who they are now. My work is to help people remove the obstacles that stand in the way of healing and one's capacity to be the best and truest version of one's self. Whether an individual comes to therapy with a vague sense that something is not right or an overwhelming sense of pain (or somewhere in between), together we will create

I found Evolve in Nature Psychotherapy in 2016 when I was really struggling with panic attacks, anxiety, depression, and childhood trauma. I started working with Shelly Froehlich and her support was invaluable in helping me through what I was experiencing at that time and throughout life's challenges in the last 4 years. Her somatic approach helped me learn to connect with my body and emotions better, and to build more resilience when dealing with life and relationship challenges. I'm forever grateful for the support, compassion, and guidance I got from Evolve in Nature Psychotherapy!

Heather is a highly skilled and compassionate therapist who brings her intuition and body awareness to support others to tap into their own inner wisdom. She is especially gifted at working with individuals with chronic illness, and the associated trauma, who want to be more at ease in their own skin.

I have worked closely with Evolve in Nature for years. In doing so, I have transformed my life and my subsequent relationships. Shelly is exceptional at what she does. She is dedicated, kind, compassionate, intelligent, and truly cares about her clients. I would not be where I am today, both personally or professionally, if not for her gentle guidance. I highly recommend Shelly - she is the best!

Shelly is the most effective therapist I've ever had, period. I highly recommend her to those who need to deal with any past trauma. Since my early 20's I've known that if I didn't deal with my traumatic childhood, I'd never live to my fullest potential or feel truly happy. Shortly after I moved to Boulder at age 43, I joined Shelly's first ACOA therapy group.
I also started personal therapy a year later. She has literally helped me crawl out of a deep, dark hole of pain. It is hard work, but so worth it. If you are ready to take the next step and do the work, Shelly definitly has the skills and along with her warm, judgement free personality, you can't help but succeed.

I've been working with Shelly for a year and a half, and it was the best decision I have ever made. I was really struggling to cope with a lot of things when I started my sessions, and she helped ground me, and start to figure out where all my struggles stemmed from. She is patient, caring, understanding, empathetic, and always pushes you in a healthy and encouraging way.
She always makes sure you know that she is there, and that you are not alone. She helps you find ways to sit with yourself and be present, while also identifying your unhealthy patterns and learning how to change them. She assigns homework, and helps you learn how to truly do the work yourself, not rely on her to just "fix" you. In all of this, she teaches you helpful/healthy language and strategies that are not about blaming, but rather about realizing what you are bringing to difficult situations and power struggles that you have found yourself stuck in repeatedly.
She also considers/recognizes that everyone comes from a different background, and is very aware of how these backgrounds contribute to diverse experiences in the world. At the same time, she helps you realize that many other people have similar experiences to you, and helps you realize that there is community in struggle and healing. I have never been happier or felt more supported. She is wonderful and I would (and already have!) recommend her to anyone!
