In a world that often prioritizes perfectionism and binary thinking, Erica Bonham brings a both/and approach to healing—blending deep clinical insight with joy, nuance, humor, and sometimes difficult truth. She’s passionate about walking folks through the messy, beautiful process of remembering our true nature: that we are always and already enough, lovable, worthy, and interconnected—and, we all have work to do. She is a certified somatic and attachment-focused EMDR clinician and trainer, Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapist, nervous system regulation expert, and Licensed Professional Counselor in Colorado. She is the owner of AVOS Counseling Center in Arvada, CO and specializes in somatic and attachment EMDR, abuse recovery, and trauma rooted in systemic injustice and spiritual harm. Erica brings her unique, down-to-earth style to help clients get to the deepest root of the pain so that it can be digested, guiding clients back to a place of empowerment and sovereignty. She’s committed to reimaging a world rooted in beauty, equity, nonviolence, compassion, and collective liberation.
Hello, dear human. If you are ready to dive in and do the deep work, I'm your girl. Perhaps you're stuck in crappy patterns in relationships that no longer serve you, or "know you should" set better boundaries, but keep saying yes to every PTA bake sale, and continue to contort yourself into what you think others want you to be. These were likely adaptive strategies that helped you survive either a misattuned or traumatic family system or just the general trauma of being a human being. Let's get to the root so that we can help those parts of you heal, turn the wounds into wisdom, and get you back into a badass state of empowerment.

Erica is one of the most highly competent, highly ethical somatically informed trauma therapist that I know. She runs her own business with employees has written training, manuals, and books, and provides videos and community support. I regularly refer clients to Erica without hesitation.
Erica is a knowledgable and compassionate therapist, speaker and trainer. She is a walking embodiment of her book “Always Enough, Never Done”- authentic, passionate about equity and inclusion, a community builder and walks the talk.
I have been sending my personal friends and family to Erica for years. She is incredibly skilled and compassionate, and helps people make big changes. Erica understands trauma in a way that few people do, and it shows in her work and writing.
