Dialectical Behavior (DBT) Therapists in 80124

I believe that you have the power to change and heal your life. We are relational beings, and therefore, require healthy support and new insight to harness positive change. I specialize in working with children, teens, and adults struggling with the mental health challenges spawned by stress, trauma, and loss; particularly within the relational context.

My specialty in rehab psych is all about helping people to transform hardship and change into an opportunity to construct new life paths. Do you want a better quality of life but face barriers that seem insurmountable? I employ a wide variety of evidence-based psychological tools to help you identify: personal goals, the barriers that challenge you in reaching those goals, and strategies and resources to overcome those barriers. I have particular expertise in working with stroke survivors and people living with spinal cord injury, brain injury, and chronic illnesses.

Do you struggle to identify what your needs/boundaries are? Find yourself in a pattern of unhealthy relationships? Have trouble saying “no” to others often to your own detriment? Do you tend to intellectualize everything, or find that your emotions are overwhelming? Many of us have never been asked to identify our needs or taught how to process emotions, whether that’s due to trauma, abusive or codependent relationships, or our childhood history and attachments. Your past experiences are integral to who you are, but they are not your full story. It’s never too late to turn inward and rewrite the narrative.

Are you tired of feeling confused, lonely or defeated? Are you wanting a better relationship with your teenager, your spouse or God? Are you grieving the loss of a loved one or the pain of your childhood? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then let me walk with you and guide you to living with Joy and fulfillment. Let me help you break free from the negative thought patterns that lead to destructive behaviors. I believe with guidance you will identify what hinders you and how to remove the roadblocks to begin living a life with meaning.

Because of the hurt I have experienced in my life I have become passionate about sitting with people as they sift through the darkest parts of themselves. I received my Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Colorado Christian University and have received formal training in Eye Movement Desensitization/Reprocessing (EMDR) and Motivational Interviewing. I balance kindness and directness as a therapist, while incorporating my sense of humor into the relationship. I primarily work with adolescents and adults, and work with a myriad of struggles including grief, trauma, addiction, and attachment issues.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and provide support for adolescents and young adults. I have experience in both clinical and school settings. I have lived in several different states and gained valuable experiences, from working at a private school for students with learning differences in New Jersey, to working as both a middle school counselor in Colorado, and a therapist at a group private practice. Along the way, I have gained experience working with anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD and executive functioning.

I enjoy working with children and families. I specialize in divorce, grief/loss counseling, but I work with a wide range of emotional and behavioral issues. My first priority is to listen to your needs so that I can fully understand how I can best support you or your family. I am a solution-focused therapist. I believe in working together to resolve the challenges you may face in your life. I look at evidence-based approaches as tools to help you reach your goals. I hope this leads to long-term growth and change. I am also an EMDR trained therapist.

You moved to Colorado for a fresh start, but you're still looking for happiness, purpose, and connection. Past disappointments still follow you despite all you've done to create distance. Instead, you feel overwhelmed, directionless, and alone. Having lived in multiple cities across the U.S. and Europe, I know how daunting it is to navigate major, sudden, or unforeseen life transitions—to start over in an unfamiliar place, to cope with the loss of “what could have been,” or to question your belief system, your choices, or your very self.

Do you feel stuck, overwhelmed, stressed, unhappy? Are you experiencing a change, like becoming a new Mom, moving to a new state, getting a new job, or are worried about your drug and alcohol use? My passion is working with clients to overcome and manage life changes and transitions as seamlessly as possible. I understand there are challenges - fear of change is a given - yet there is nothing more healing than connecting in a safe, non-judgemental environment, where growth and potential are encouraged. I would consider myself priveledged to be a part of the your healing journey.

Open, respectful, and enthusiastic describe the therapy I provide. Many times people go through their daily lives on auto pilot, making decisions and doing things out of habit. This is a normal part of life, but problems arise when old habits no longer lead you where you want to go, especially in your relationships. Therapy is one way people can get back into the driver's seat of their lives, making conscious choices about which roads to take to what ultimate destination. Therapy can help by increasing self awareness, understanding how beliefs and thoughts lead to emotions and behaviors.

Let's be honest. When it comes to overcoming your compulsive use of porn and/or sex you feel defeated. You're tired of hearing that more effort and more accountability is the answer. What you're doing isn't working. Right? I get it. For over twenty years I was held captive by a secret porn and sex addiction. I understand the crushing shame and guilt. I understand that feeling that "things will never really change." But you know what? I found lasting freedom. And you can too.

Now accepting new telehealth clients! Stay home & get counseling you need! I specialize in working with tweens, teens, and young adults who have anxiety or an eating disorder. Many of the people I work with feel like they don't have control of their lives and are trying to gain control. They have trouble sleeping at night. They can't seem to turn their brains off and worry about the future. They tend to go to worst case scenario in their minds. They struggle in their relationships, which often also feel out of control. Body image issues, self-esteem difficulties.

Sandstone Care provides substance use, addiction, and mental health treatment for young adults (ages 18 to 30) and adolescents (ages 13 to 18) including Residential Treatment, Day Treatment (PHP), Intensive Outpatient (IOP), and General Outpatient (OP) programming.

My practice specializes in partners of an emotional or sexual betrayal which may lead to infidelity. If you have recently discovered your husband's excessive pornography use, you may be experiencing trauma from post traumatic stress, anxiety, sadness, or even anger that you doubt you can ever trust him again. Experiencing betrayal in your marriage is often a devastating, overwhelming and lonely experience. As the betrayed spouse, you may be experiencing an identity crisis leaving you doubting your marriage and yourself.

Are you experiencing relationship/family problems? Are you tired of experiencing the same pain over and over? Using an integrated solution focused approach, individuals and families will gain resources for healing and growth. Working together we can uncover your true purpose while addressing current stressors, past trauma, and future goals. While we can't change difficult past situations, we can better understand and resolve challenges negatively affecting our current situation.

Does your sadness or worry keep you from living the life you want? Are your children struggling with their emotions or behaviors? Healing and growth are possible. My goal as a therapist is to help you or your child heal from past wounds, to live fully in the present and work toward the life you want for yourself or your child. I work closely with my clients to help build a supportive relationship and safe space to promote healing. You don't have to do this alone.

After working with children and families for 15 years in foster care and adoption settings, I developed a passion for empowering people who have experienced trauma, grief and loss, and who struggle with relationship issues. Life always presents challenges and the ability to move through those challenges with a strong sense of self is important. I work closely with clients to develop a strong therapeutic relationship, which engenders an environment of safety and promotes healing. I am an EMDR Certified Clinician which integrates attachment theory, CBT and emotion regulation. I also use child-centered play therapy with children.

I believe that individuals are uniquely designed with an inner connectedness spanning our cognitive, physical, emotional and spiritual experiences. Because of this design, health and healing are best found through strengthening each of these interconnected elements of our being. My therapeutic approaches are based upon this belief. With couples, I use a hope-focused (strengths based) approach, while examining the family dynamics, or "systems" that are in effect. When working with individuals, I use Cognitive Behavioral approach (CBT), client-centered and systems approaches to holistically facilitate growth, healing and increased self-awareness.
