Hello!
I am Randy Basden, a Licensed Professional Counselor with many years in the field. I was born in Missouri and grew up in Southern Illinois, moving to Wyoming twenty years ago. I received an MSEd in Educational Psychology from Southern Illinois University at Carbondale.
I have had extensive training in EMDR and trauma therapy in general. I see clients from adolescence throughout the lifespan for a variety of issues, including anxiety, mood disorders, and general life challenges. I am well versed in various approaches to help individuals learn to manage emotions and behavior, and to examine how our thinking connects to these things. I pay close attention to developments in neuroscience and well-being, incorporating those findings into my work as a therapist. I have considerable experience in addictions. I am informed as to the neuroscience of addiction.
I sing and play guitar, ride my bicycle and work out. I hang out with my cat and lead a meditation group at the Hawthorn Tree in Cheyenne. I truly enjoy my work as a therapist!
