Trained Professionals – Commitment and Compassion

The Windhorse staff of team supervisors, psychotherapists, team leaders, assistant team leaders, team counselors, and housemates are contemplatively oriented in their clinical training and perspective.

They are skilled in providing a ground of mindfulness and awareness in supporting clients in developing healthy habits and patterns of daily living, including eating and sleeping well, exercising, and engaging in meaningful activity.

As a testament to the health of our community and of how the Windhorse approach can be a powerful path to personal development, some of our clinicians have decades of experience with the Windhorse approach.

Most senior team members hold master’s degrees in psychology or social work, and many have their master’s degrees from the Naropa University’s Contemplative Psychotherapy and Buddhist Psychology Program. In addition to ongoing training and supervision for all clinicians, our Intensive Psychotherapists have undergone a 2-year in-house psychotherapy training and supervision specific to the Windhorse approach. Housemates are selected based on their maturity, personal warmth, and interest in compassionate service.

Team members are chosen to work with specific clients based on compatibility and relevant training and experience. Our staff recognize that clients are intrinsically healthy and fundamentally well and can achieve significant and meaningful recovery. In addition, they share a commitment to seeing their clinical work as a path of lifelong learning. Most of our senior clinicians are Licensed Professional Counselors (LPCs) or Licensed Clinical Social Workers in the state of Colorado. This ensures that the highest standards of Windhorse care are applied to every treatment team.
