Eric Hansen

Providing online therapy in Colorado

Hi! My name is Eric Hansen and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor at Sonoran Sunrise Therapy in Denver, Colorado. I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. With years of experience in outpatient and private practice settings, I bring a grounded, thoughtful presence to therapy. I integrate Internal Family Systems (IFS), narrative therapy, somatic experiencing, and cognitive-based strategies to create a highly personalized approach that honors each client’s unique needs and goals.

I view mental health as something to be understood rather than “fixed.” I believe that lasting change emerges from curiosity, self-awareness, and a willingness to explore the deeper patterns shaping one’s life. My work emphasizes both insight and action, helping clients better understand themselves while also equipping them with tools to move forward with clarity and confidence. Whether addressing long-standing emotional struggles or navigating difficult transitions, I am committed to supporting clients through every stage of the process.

By fostering a safe and structured environment, I help clients move beyond short-term solutions to create sustainable growth. I value the therapeutic relationship as a foundation for healing and strive to build a space where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered.

Outside of my clinical work, I enjoy Denver’s vibrant food and arts scene, discovering new coffee shops, and spending quality time with friends and family.

Mental health isn’t about fixing what’s broken, it’s about understanding and embracing every part of who you are.

I believe healing starts with understanding and embracing all parts of ourselves—both the ones we show the world and the ones we keep tucked away. Each of us carries a personal story shaped by our experiences, relationships, and the ways we’ve learned to navigate life. When those stories start to feel heavy or limiting, therapy offers the chance to see them with fresh perspective and compassion, while also reconnecting with the wisdom of the body.

My approach is collaborative and supportive, drawing from Internal Family Systems (IFS), narrative therapy, somatic awareness practices, and other evidence-based strategies. Together, we’ll explore the patterns that have shaped your life, build tools to regulate the nervous system, and create a stronger foundation of resilience and balance so you can feel more grounded and confident moving forward.
