LPCC

Bruce Kenyon, LPCC has worked as a structural massage therapist in Colorado and California for over a decade. Through his practice, it became clear that for many clients, chronic pain could not be resolved through bodywork alone. The missing link was their emotional context: their ability to process, integrate, and create a corrective emotional experience—which was outside the scope of his massage practice. This realization led him to earn an MA in Somatic Psychotherapy at Naropa University. He is now developing a method that blends psychoeducation with the somatic exploration of structural integration. He uses the body's physical felt-sense as a starting point to navigate deeper emotional landscapes: protector parts, unmet developmental needs, and areas of physical or emotional compensation. He believes pain is a reflection of our conscious and unconscious levels of perceived safety—a reality that has vast implications for how we treat chronic symptoms across all layers of a person's life. He works in Broomfield, CO and does outside / nature therapy sessions in Lafayette and Boulder, and via telehealth.
