Faith Halverson-Ramos

Licensed Therapist and Supervisor

Faith Halverson-Ramos MA, LPC, ADDC, MFTC, MT-BC, ACS, (She/Her) has a Master's in Transpersonal Counseling Psychology with a focus on Music Therapy and a Bachelor's in Vocal Music Performance and Pedagogy and is currently pursuing a PhD in Music Therapy. Faith is a Licensed Professional Counselor, an Addiction Counselor Candidate, and Marriage and Family Therapist Candidate in Colorado, as well as a board-certified music therapist and Approved Clinical Supervisor.

Faith invites clients to explore who they are and to examine what gives them a sense of meaning and purpose in life. Recognizing relationship as foundational to therapy, she cultivates with clients a relationship that is built upon respect, acceptance, and a belief in their ability to live authentically as their best self. To do this, Faith embodies a contemplative approach in which music and other ways of being and expressing can also serve to support clients in gaining a better understanding of the relationship that they have with themselves, and with the worlds they inhabit and navigate outside of therapy.

What Faith enjoys most about being a therapist is witnessing clients becoming more of their authentic selves and making changes in their lives that affirm this. Something that motivates Faith as a therapist is thinking about what kind of society we could create if more people were able to live authentically as their best selves.Faith specializes in working with Neurodivergence (Autism, ADHD, Trauma), Grief and Loss, Life Transitions, End-of-Life, Substance Use and Misuse, Spirituality and Spiritual Issues, and Psychedelic Integration. Taking a gender-affirming approach, Faith is comfortable working with people throughout the gender spectrum.

People who may benefit from partnering with Faith are those who are willing to engage in honest self-reflection, and through that, discover new ways of being that more effectively serve them. Additionally, those who are open to or curious about the use of music and creative expression to assist with therapeutic processing and insight may also benefit from partnering with Faith. Over the course of Faith's career, she has worked with people at every stage of life in settings ranging from early childhood and special education, residential treatment, outpatient treatment, in-home eldercare, and hospice and palliative care. As part of her current PhD studies, she is researching the use of music in psychedelic-assisted therapy. Faith enjoys those days when she can follow her flow puttering around in the house and garden, cooking delicious and nourishing food, and singing.
