Professional Background

Dr. Tasha Seiter is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) and owner of Heart of the Matter Therapy and Coaching, a group practice that provides couples, individual, and family therapy to residents of Colorado as well as coaching services to couples and individuals worldwide. Dr. Tasha is passionate about helping couples and individuals as a therapist and coach to connect in deeper ways, break destructive conflict patterns, and enhance their physical and sexual bond.

Dr. Tasha and all of the clinicians at her group practice specialize in compassionate and science-backed methods. She is a scientist-practitioner with dozens of published research articles on the topics of relationships, mindfulness, and stress physiology. Tasha values using techniques that are validated by research to bring positive change in relationships and life satisfaction. Dr. Tasha has advanced training in the modalities that research shows have the power to greatly enhance relational health, including Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Gottman Method Couples Therapy, Premarital Relationship Enhancement, Internal Family Systems, Mindfulness, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. These methods really work to bring lasting change to Dr. Tasha’s clients and she feels so grateful to be able to practice them everyday.

The scientifically proven techniques are complimented by warmth, genuineness, and an enthusiastic energy that propels her clients toward their goals. Dr. Tasha believes that acceptance and a space where we experience nonjudgement of our experiences (we are all human!) is healing and something that we all would ideally have in this world.

demisexual

What Does It Mean to Be Demisexual?

Demisexuality is a sexual orientation in which sexual attraction is only experienced after developing a close emotional bond with another person. Those who are demisexual do not feel sexual attraction to others based on looks alone, their sexual desire is tied to the level of emotional connection and trust felt with this person. This often takes time and the experience of deep connection to develop.
