Self-Harming Therapists in 80204

I focus my work on couples and therapy with adult individuals. I graduated from Stanford in 2002 and received my Masters in Counseling Psychology from John F. Kennedy University in 2007. I also have a post-masters certification in Marriage and Family Therapy from Denver Family Institute as well as training in a couples model of therapy called EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy). I am committed to intersectionality and creating safe spaces for marginalized identities. I have extensive experience working with childhood trauma, relationship wounds, and emotional distress. My therapy is inclusive, affirming, authentic and transformative.

I believe every person’s story has value and meaning. It is important for every person to have a voice in an environment that is safe with unconditional acceptance. My goal is to provide this space for my clients. I focus on building relationships with a person-centered approach. I operate with the understanding that we are all part of a system and the impact this can have on our lives.

I help ambitious, creative, and compassionate professional women ready to make an impact on the world, but struggle with trusting their own instincts. If you are feeling misunderstood, alone, and/or fighting excessive perfectionism and self-judgement, I will support you in uncovering the tools you already possess for authentically connecting with your inner strength and wisdom. Unlike reading self-help blogs that don't work or struggling with self destructive habits and feeling badly about yourself, I will give you specific techniques to help you make better decisions, connect with your body and feel more empowered.

I work with teenagers and young adults who struggle with depression, anxiety, or other mental hurdles that make it challenging to get through the normal, day-to-day routine. I provide a safe and calm environment to make it comforting when opening up about trauma or any past challenging events that led them to where they are today. Together, we can set long-term and small-term goals and look at taking small steps to get there. I meet clients where they are at by pointing out their strengths and accomplishments. It's important to work through some of the barriers so that you feel more confident in moving forward.

Meeting each client where they are at with kindness, compassion, and acceptance, I view every individual as the true expert of their own life. My approach is humanistic, relational, and collaborative! This means I believe in the human tendency towards self-actualization and the power of the therapeutic relationship, and I work together with each client to guide them to the light that shines within. Bringing the mind, body, and spirit into session, I work hard to cultivate a peaceful space for holistic healing to begin as I believe this is the first step towards living a joyful life!

While open to a range of issues, I feel I connect particularly well with adolescents or adults who have experienced trauma, different types of abuse, neglect, or exploitation, and are struggling with behavioral issues, substance use, self-harm, depression, anxiety, or PTSD. I want to help clients explore the parts of themself they try to hide away, address the pain they carry, and in working towards healing, gain back those pieces of who they are.

Do you feel stuck and want something in your life to change? Are you struggling to cope with stress, anxiety, and overwhelm? Does life feel less pleasurable? Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes so much courage, and I am here to support you in that process! I work with clients through a systems perspective and bring awareness to behavioral and emotional patterns that formed during childhood and continue to negatively impact clients in adulthood. I believe that therapy should be affordable and accessible, and I'm happy to discuss payment options if you're in need of a sliding scale.

If you are searching for a therapist that is holistic in nature and will integrate various aspects of your life into your treatment, look no further. As a licensed clinical social worker, I work to increase my client's overall well being and encourage a healthy life balance. I have worked with various populations and ages in individual, couples and family settings. I often use treatment interventions focusing on self-acceptance, emotion regulation, and trauma. Bring in your concerns and we will explore what works best for you!

We all feel insecure, helpless, distressed and in need of some extra support at some point in our lives. I understand the vulnerability it takes to reach out and I am glad you’re on your way. I specialize in supporting teens and young adults who are struggling with anxiety, depression and low self-worth. In addition, I have experience working with the LGBTQIA+ community. Working with me, you can expect to feel unconditionally seen for who you are, and safely encouraged to explore the most challenging parts of your life.

Thank you for viewing my profile. I have 3 graduate degrees, all in mental/behavioral health, licenses in Co. and CA., and I am comfortable in working with a vast array of issues. I have worked in several mental health settings throughout my career, including: community mental health, hospitals, dialysis centers and private practice. My theory basis is psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral, but I always work with the patient in their comfort level and style. I strongly feel that therapeutic success comes from my ability to help others help themselves. I look forward to potentially working with you. Dr. Jacks

Are you queer and struggling with body image and food? Or just feeling disconnected from your body? Are you looking for a therapist who gets it—who’s been there? I am an eating disorder therapist who is also queer. Believe it to not, the LGBTQ community is hit hardest when it comes to struggling with our relationship with our bodies. Many of us have had eating disorders, and even more of us struggle significantly with body image. As a trained somatic therapist, I hope to support you to have a better relationship with your body, and to understand the language it speaks—including how trauma may have manifested in your nervous system.

LCSW trained in CBT and motivational interviewing, as well as TBRI. I have worked with domestic violence and sexual assault survivors, veterans, and kids and teenagers. I love working with teens and kids, and I have a specialized background in trauma of all kinds. To me, therapy is about the connection between the therapist and the client, and about that attunement and understanding. Beyond that, all the training in the world is secondary!

Welcome! If you are here, life's challenges may have you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, or alone, but you have taken the initial steps in working towards a more balanced and fulfilling life – so be sure to pat yourself on the back. I work with adolescents and adults who are seeking a compassionate, strengths-based, trauma-informed, and chill therapist to help navigate life’s rough patches and to take help take control of your own healing and narrative. Life can be difficult and these can be intense and scary times to deal with, but you don't have to navigate life's peaks and valleys alone.

I have worked in multiple clinical settings with various populations. I appreciate working with clients who are navigating existential crises, those who are looking for a better understanding to the meaning of life. This experience can help clients identify and break negative or unhealthy patterns in their lives. I am a firm believer in the power of perception-shifting, in order to identify a silver lining in even the most difficult situations. My therapeutic approach is dynamic and eclectic. My goal with all of my clients is to walk beside them through their struggles and help them come through their struggles feeling stronger.

Having an impactful counseling experience is important to you. You're looking for someone who is understanding, knowledgeable, and experienced. For over 32 years, I have dedicated myself to honing my ability to provide you a counseling experience that is empowering and successful. I aim at collaboration and transparency in working with families, couples and individuals. To accomplish this, I ask clients for feedback at the end of each session, and I actively talk with those whom I serve about any changes they feel need to be made to improve their client experience.

Supporting and coaching individuals who seek personal growth and addressing ongoing challenges in their lives. My approach to therapy offers clients a supportive space to authentically assess and explore life circumstances and building positive change. I take a client-centered approach that gives you the opportunity to take an active role in your journey. My goals are to assist you in establishing a strong foundation to overcome and even embrace adversity. I look forward to establishing a collaborative relationship to support you in your goals.

Life can present us with challenges that leave us feeling broken, powerless, and vulnerable. These emotions can be overwhelming, but they don't have to define your story. I specialize in evidence-based treatment for those dealing with psychosis, trauma, and mood disorders. In our sessions, we'll work together to understand and navigate the complexities of these experiences, thoughts, and emotions, and find your path to healing and recovery.

I have a passion for supporting partners, families, and individuals in the queer community and who identify as neurodivergent. As a queer and neurodivergent therapist, I understand the unique challenges and triumphs that come with navigating experiences and relationships from these lived experiences. My goal is to create an inclusive environment where all expressions of love and identity are celebrated and to support clients in being their authentic self, embrace their identities, and build healthy relationships.

Are there mental health challenges keeping you from reaching your dreams? Lets work together to discover your best hopes and then develop the skills to achieve them! I specialize in working with anxiety, depression, trauma/PTSD, and those working to understand and embrace their unique, intersectional identity. I have an emphasis in working with a diverse range of persons and thus strive to create particularly inclusive, trauma-informed, kink/sex-positive, neurodivergent-friendly, and ENM/poly-friendly therapeutic spaces.
