Solace Counseling

05/27/2026

We’re thrilled to be growing our team here at Solace! Please join us in welcoming our newest clinician, Amy Offerle!

Beginning in June, Amy will be available for Saturday, Sunday, and Monday appointments and will be seeing individual, couples, and family clients ages 6 and older. Amy is in-network with Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, and Aetna insurance plans.

We’re excited to welcome Amy to the practice and expand our availability so we can continue supporting more members of our community.

Here is a bit more about Amy:

Hi, I'm Amy!

I was born and raised right here in Erie, Colorado. I have completed my Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Regis University, and I am currently pursuing a PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision.

I am a trauma-informed therapist rooted in somatic and relational modalities, and I often incorporate an interpersonal neurobiology (Polyvagal Theory) lens within the therapeutic space. I aim to create a container where clients can feel safe to explore what is beneath the surface. I particularly enjoy working with clients who are experiencing sudden/traumatic loss, disenfranchised grief, anxiety, and relationship issues. When possible, I love to laugh with clients.

Outside of the counseling room, you will find me watercolor painting, trying to cook new recipes, and walking my dog, Ellie.

If you are interested in working with Amy, please reach out to [email protected]. We are happy to get you connected!
