Nate Geyer, MA, LPC, CSAT, CMAT-LA

Prior to his journey as a clinician at Begin Again Institute, Nate worked as a mental health technician for over six years in the behavioral health unit at Boulder Community Health. Stylistically, Nate’s clinical approach is a blend of experiential and narrative perspectives. As a clinician, he enjoys the emotive “in the moment” style combined with the narrative storytelling approach to illicit change in his clients. For Nate, healing is a synthesis of one’s stories and the way they make one feel and his specialties include working with depression and trauma. Supporting the population of men who come through the Begin Again Institute and being a part of their healing experience has been one of the most rewarding aspects of Nate’s career. Connecting with these individuals and seeing them experience feelings long thought lost is something Nate, in his own words, considers to be one of the most enriching experiences of his life.

Nate graduated from the University of Colorado-Boulder in 2013 with degrees in creative writing and psychology and received his master’s degree from the University of Colorado-Denver in 2019 in clinical counseling.
