I'll be blunt; if you're looking to get shit done, then let's have a conversation. I know that's not the most professional thing you'll seen on this site and my focus on professionalism is helping you achieve the results you want to see. When meeting with me, you can expect to be cared for and challenged. That's because I believe in you; I believe in your strength and your ability to overcome. For the past fourteen years, I have been fortunate enough to work alongside people in their journey of healing. I've seen the resilience, adaptability and power of the human experience and I want to support you in seeing that in yourself.

Welcome – and thank you for your interest in the possibility of working together. Choosing to work with a new therapist is a deeply personal and sometimes difficult decision; especially when considering the balance of vulnerability and trust that's typically required to make progress toward your mental health goals. My approach is highly relational, empathetic, compassionate, and collaborative - all of which are essential traits when working with adults and teens (age 18+) who are focused on overcoming anxiety, depression, addiction, and trauma; along with a handful of common co-occurring concerns.

As a provider of individual and family psychotherapy for over 26 years, I have a long standing reputation as a caring, compassionate and supportive therapist.

Dr. Leistikow has over 40 years of doing brief directed hypnosis in 12-16 sessions for trauma, PTSD, panic disorder, general anxiety and chronic depression and insomnia. As an MD, he is able to combine therapy with both prescription and holistic medicine using various vitamins, minerals and natural supplements.

I work with adolescents, adults, and couples who struggle with the achieving their full potential. This often means working through anxiety and anger and learning how to clearly communicate your own needs and challenges. This personal work leads to understanding of the system in which we all operate - family, work, school, and community. I work with clients in my office, virtually and also work with adolescents and their families in the home and also at school. Call 720-935-7336 with any questions.

If anxiety, stress or lack of motivation is holding you back or making everyday life more difficult, please reach out to me for a free consultation. Together, my clients and I work to "make friends with our anxiety." This means, rather than seeing anxiety and stress as our enemy, we listen to what it's trying to tell us and learn to use it to our benefit. Rather than struggling against our feelings, our work will focus on understanding them and using them to help us achieve our goals and live a full life. I also specialize in relationship/family issues, ADHD, trauma, and college mental health.

Deciding to reach out to a therapist can be difficult, but it can be a strong and positive choice to help you overcome the obstacles in your life, to relieve your emotional suffering, and to help you recover an inner sense of confidence and the resilience to move forward. Through our therapeutic relationship, we can develop an understanding together of the roots of your struggles and how therapy can help you undo any negative narratives and coping strategies to help you relieve symptoms associated with depression, anxiety, trauma, addictions, relationships, and other issues and find a path towards more wellbeing and fulfillment.

Are you confused about why you are feeling the way you are feeling? Do you wish things were different? Are you feeling disconnected from others or yourself? Current neuroscience and research tells us that about 95 percent of the way we think, feel, and act is unconscious and automatic. In my practice, I help people understand why they are acting, feeling, and thinking they are so they can begin change their internal reality. I partner with my client’s to educate and empower them to understand themselves better so they can begin to live more intentionally and pursue their passions in meaningful ways.

I am a creative and playful child and family therapist who helps people with toxic stress, relationship issues, and anxiety. Kids and teens find my approach helps them work through their challenges with play, creative activities, and their families. I offer expert trauma care with advanced EMDR and parts work to free people from the effects of their worst experiences, and I can do this for very little kids. I help people who have anger outbursts, panic, dissociation, shutting down, and younger-than-their-age behavior. Families who want to be free of trauma, conflict, and worry will find a fun, caring, and accepting approach from me.

Are you struggling to find meaning and purpose in your life? Whether it is depression, anxiety, OCD, relationship issues, grief or feelings of meaninglessness, I can help. Whether your looking for help as an individual, couple or group, let's consider journeying together.

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 am honored to provide support for individuals, couples, and families during challenging times. I believe in the power of collaborative relationships to uncover your innate strengths, perseverance, and authentic self. Whether you're dealing with everyday stressors or contemplating existential questions, my approach is tailored to you – no one-size-fits-all solutions here. I look forward to walking alongside you on your journey toward a more vibrant and fulfilling life.

Whether you are struggling with an acute issue now or have been struggling alone for awhile, help and healing are possible. In therapy, there is space to make concrete goals towards change and room for more abstract exploration and discovery of self. I work with clients to build an individualized tool-kit that will assist them in living a more meaningful, fulfilled, and connected life that can withstand life's struggles and hardships.

I work best with clients who are not only wanting to resolve their issues, but who also have some abiding interest in inner exploration and self-discovery. In my experience, if we only approach therapy with the mindset of needing to fix, therapy can become heavy and mechanical. Even if we are working with difficult subjects, therapy is meant to engage a part of us that loves to know the truth about ourselves. When this happens, it is as though a flame lights up in us, which fuels our passion for self-inquiry. Then, therapy becomes more like an adventure, which can be very enjoyable, meaningful, and expansive.

Chris Saxon, M.A., LPC, LAC Chris' passion is helping people as they struggle with life choices, changes, and experience. Chris tailors therapy to meet clients' needs and offers cognitive behaviorial, existential, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused approaches. .

Life presents opportunities for change and we all have the ability to grow from this change though self discovery. I believe that although change is inevitable, it takes courage to be active in guiding change toward personal growth. My goal is to create an environment where real and sustained growth is possible.

Are you experiencing repeated conflicts with a child, spouse, or partner and would like some help with communication problems? Have you experienced childhood or adult trauma or abuse (physical, emotional, or sexual)? Do you experience episodes of depression, hyperactivity, mania (decreased need for sleep, racing thoughts, more talkative, unusually more productive)? Maybe you have concentration and/or attention difficulties, don't seem to be able to finish projects, or have good organization skills. Have you or someone close to you noticed issues related to addiction or dependence (compulsive behaviors) on alcohol, drugs, gambling, food, internet or computer games, or even work or sex?

Stepping out of your comfort zone can be a difficult experience. In order to grow we must take that leap. My role is to join individuals taking those risks and create a safe place to explore the possibilities. My approach can help people develop new insights into themselves by healing trauma and recognizing their inherent strengths. Using their own strengths people grow confidence to be their true self. I specialize in working with athletes, first responders, and survivors of disaster, but I am open to working with anyone wanting to improve their mental health and/or heal from their trauma.

I specialize in working with teenagers, young adults, families and couples and can help with the following areas: family dynamics/divorce, trauma, school/work struggles, relationships, caregivers (compassion fatigue), body image, self-worth, career exploration, and athletics/performance mindset. Let’s work together to create a new narrative for your life and get you back on the path you were always meant to be on.
