Therapists in 80003

By now you may feel like you've tried everything. Perhaps your home has become a battleground, filled with fights that repeat over and over without any progress. Maybe you feel like you have hit a wall with your partner and aren’t sure how to move forward, or maybe you feel stuck, watching from the sidelines as your child navigates the many challenges of adolescence. Taking action can help resolve these feelings of helplessness and taking the initiative to seek treatment is the first step forward. If you or your child is struggling to live a fulfilling life—or even struggling to make it through the day—it’s time to seek help.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Candidate who provides evidence-based, compassionate treatment for depression, anxiety, chronic pain, stress management, self-esteem issues, relationship challenges, career and academic challenges, and major life transitions.

My name is Erin, and I've served as a helping professional for 17 years as both an LCSW, social worker and as a couples therapist. I've seen it all (well, almost), and use my education and experience to serve clients in distress. I have additional certification in Marriage and Family Therapy, and love helping couples who are struggling to make their relationship work. I specialize in helping couples overcome betrayals, trust issues, and communication breakdowns to achieve better harmony in their marriage.

I imagine you are looking for a therapist to help you find answers, healing, and understanding. You are likely searching for the root cause of your pain and begin your unique healing journey that builds empowerment and freedom from the experiences of your past. Whether you are carrying burdens or pain from your past, feeling anxious or hopeless about the future, or have difficulty staying present, my intention is to offer a space to share your vulnerability and process the heavy stuff that can be difficult to understand. Every person has the potential to grow towards the healing and wholeness that is already within.

Are you feeling lost, unbalanced, disconnected, and anxious or depressed? Are you looking to gain passion and purpose in your life? I can help you connect with your purpose and live a more balanced and authentic life. I provide counseling for adults and teens struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma and/or relationship issues.

You made it. You've come a long way, achieved success and stability, but you feel empty, dissatisfied, or out of control. You're let down by systems and relationships that were supposed to care for you, suffocated by a society that bases your worth on external factors. You know something is wrong, and are searching for a therapist who sees your dignity and lovability. You want to overcome your past, find the bravery to take risks, and heal the deepest roots of your distress. You seek counseling that centers collaboration, consent, compassion, presence, and authenticity to live a meaningful life based on self-love and inner peace.

I have extensive experience working with clients dealing with addiction, substance abuse & dependence, relationship issues, depression, women's issues, men’s issues, life transitions, trauma, low self image (esteem), depression and grief/loss. I believe with a considerable amount of internal work, self-discovery, and communication improvement, one has great potential to achieve a higher level of self-fulfillment & happiness.

Life's challenges can feel dark, heavy, or even impossible to deal with. Most people who start therapy feel stuck repeating the same painful patterns. Do any of the following resonate with you? You fight all the time with your partner. Your energy levels are at an all time low. You feel dread, fear, strange thoughts, and a pounding heart. You wake up every morning feeling overwhelmed and depressed. It is possible to feel better. Imagine a life where you could...Control how you respond to anxious thoughts. Get to the root of problems and solve them instead of using band-aids. Have the loving relationships you've always wanted.

I am a licensed clinical social worker with 25 years of experience. My areas of expertise are children,adolescents, family issues and substance abuse issues. I am a registered play therapist who uses a non-directive approach to play therapy. My expertise in working with stepfamilies expands over 30 years. When working with children, I focus on the entire family utilizing the systems approach, along with cognitive behavioral therapy. I am trained in somatic experiencing (SE), through the Intermediate Level, which allows me the opportunity to work with your trauma to assist in moving you toward a healthier place in your body.

Sometimes, you feel so overwhelmed you wish someone else could step in and live life for you for a while. You're juggling too much and you're worried that if things don't change for you soon, you will hit a breaking point and everything will fall apart around you. The coping skills that have worked for you in the past have stopped working, and now you're wondering if they ever worked that well in the first place. You hope therapy can answer your questions and help you cope. If part of this process for you has been wondering if your anxiety is related to trauma you've experienced in your past, then you have landed in the right place.

It's not what you say, but how you say it! Communication is key! Communication is a fund-a-mental resource designed to send OR receive information. It is also our LOVE Language. L- Listening to one another O- Observing body language V- Validating feelings E- Expressing Empathy & Compassion. I will provide you with a set of skills to help you reduce negativity, blaming/shaming. Accept and admit your wrong and how to move-on! As a therapist, I will support you in meeting your goals individually or collectively. Rather you Write-it, Text-it, Sing-it, or Speak-it...Communication is key!

I believe that every individual should receive therapy that is centered on one’s own wellbeing and desire for self-importance. My goal is to help individuals accept and trust themselves and to feel valued being themselves. I have worked alongside BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, those within the criminal justice system, and intersecting identities. I have a background in supporting individuals who experience anxiety, depression, traumatic symptoms, personality disorders, and schizophrenia. I believe identity is a key element in understanding the individual and their relationship within wider systems.

Are you unhappy with how your relationship is going? Are you looking for a place to talk about things in your relationship that you just can't yet bring up with your partner? Is this your first time considering couples therapy? Maybe you have thought about it for a while. I know you are getting to the point of needing help; it's time to take the next step together. I specialize in helping couples untangle their attachment system and set you on the path towards lasting change. I have worked with client's with trauma history, infidelity, trust issues, and couples who feel therapy is their last attempt to save their relationship.

I won’t do anything that I think I should do. Do you also have mountains of shoulds? How exhausting and overwhelming it is to never measure up to our own or others’ expectations. Let me help you find your pathway out of this continual self haranguing and self sabotaging. When you find alignment within yourself it will give you clarity on your actual desires, new vitality and empowerment for manifesting your goals. I would love to support you with getting unstuck and renewing your energy. Are you pretty good at understanding others and helping them get along? When you’re with them, though, do you forget your own needs?

Are you someone who never thought you would be looking for a therapist? Are problems that were once manageable now feeling as though they aren't? As a trauma-informed therapist, I am dedicated to opening spaces for those problems that are haunting you, or have haunted you for years. I consciously work to help you recognize that you are uniquely separate from your problems. Separating ourselves from the problems in our lives, such as grief, addiction, anxiety, love, or violence will guide us toward healing through crisis or times when we feel stuck.

I provide a safe, gentle environment to allow clients to grow and make positive changes in their lives. Utilizing a variety of evidence-based approaches, with the client's unique needs in mind, I bring a collaborative approach to finding healing, empowerment and strength. I am passionate about my work, and I am able to support adults, children, adolescents and families.

I respectfully focus on the uniqueness of each individual and how they are experiencing themselves in the present moment, rather than what they have been told in the past. I am a trauma informed therapist, specializing in working with grief, loss, trauma and life transitions. My professional experience includes working in an inpatient psychiatric setting with adults with trauma, substance abuse and chronic mental health issues, working with adult survivors of childhood trauma and working as a bereavement counselor in hospice.

Do you spend too much time staring at a screen, constantly bombarded with an avalanche of information? Are you looking for an effective way to cope in a world that never stops putting you under pressure? My sessions can help you find healthy ways to unplug and refocus. I am a highly trained and compassionate counselor who specializes in helping clients who suffer from anxiety and depression.
