Relationship Issues Therapists in 80903

The choice to seek counseling is a courageous one that can often be the first step toward a happier, more fulfilling life. My passion is supporting individuals, couples, and families who are experiencing difficulties in relationships and struggling with life transitions.

Many people who grew up in families where their emotional needs were not met struggle with harsh self-judgment and feelings of not "being good enough." Perfectionism and overachieving may be used to cope, but this may lead to people-pleasing and overcommitment—eventually, exhaustion and physical symptoms of stress set in. Individuals who have experienced Childhood Emotional Neglect benefit from developing self-compassion, safe exploration of their emotions, and healthy relationships with self and others through a safe and supportive space.

Feeling sad, lonely, or stuck? Always feeling like life and everything in it hates you? Can't shake memories or events from the past? Do you work hard but have no time to do anything else? Do you just want to be seen? Are you in a relationship that struggles to have a civil conversation? Can you not go a day without yelling, calling names, or blaming each other for actions that happen? Has your sex life disappeared and you have no idea why? Have you or your partner been unfaithful and you truly want to work to find forgiveness and repair your relationship?

Are you dealing with difficult relationship issues? Are you experiencing stress, anxiety or depression? Do you feel trapped in negativity? I look forward to meeting with you and working with you toward positive change.

Life can be difficult, and a therapeutic relationship can propel a person's journey of change. Whether your situation is chronic or a single event, I will patiently work with you to equip you for your unique circumstance. As a counselor, I utilize a mixture of approaches, including humanistic and CBT approaches, and will meet you where you are at. No matter your stressors, needs, or goals, I am ready and willing to walk alongside you. It takes courage to reach out, I commend you for taking that first step. I am here to walk with you during your trying times and help you find the inner peace, joy, and success you deserve.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 35 years of experience working with individuals of all ages, couples, and families. If you are feeling stressed, anxious, depressed, or overwhelmed by relationship issues or any number of life's challenges, I look forward to sharing with you the tools, skills, and wisdom that many teachers have taught me. There are wonderful research based tools that help us uplift our mood, feel more hopeful, relate more lovingly to self and others, and change our perspective on life. These tools can help us immediately!

Are you hoping to improve your relationship? Are you worried you may be "too much" for your partner? Maybe you want to be a better partner but don't know how to? I am trained in PACT Therapy (Psychobiological Approach to Couple's Therapy), and Gottman Therapy, two specialized approaches to couples therapy. I have found that integrating these two styles of therapy quickly gives couples insight to the causes of their conflict or disconnection, and tangible ways to fix it. This allows each partner to understand themselves and their partner, improving connectedness and relationship satisfaction and decreasing conflict intensity.

Freedom from Your Past, a Path to the Future! I offer individual therapy and couples counseling both in-person at my private office in Downtown Colorado Springs, and online throughout Colorado. In our sessions we will ride the line between spirituality and psychology. You will learn to be comfortable with discomfort. I will help you connect with yourself on a deeper level. We will uncover your patterns, learn how to implement boundaries, and develop a relationship with yourself. From the minute we meet we will be building a relationship based on trust and authenticity. I strive to create a place where you can be yourself.

I love working with individuals, families and couples to help them achieve health and well being. I have been in Colorado as a licensed therapist for over 32 years. The main issues that I work with are Depression, Anxiety, Mood disorders, Relationship Issues, PTSD, Adolescent Issues, Health and Wellness, Life Coaching and Eating Disorders (and Disordered Eating). Although I have worked with many issues, I specialize in the treatment of Eating Disorders and Disordered Eating. The populations I work with are adolescents through adults. Greta, my therapy dog, joins us in sessions.

I work with adults 18 to 64 years of age to support and address anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and trauma. I strive to provide a safe space for people to explore thoughts and feelings through therapeutic techniques such as acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive-behavioral, EMDR, trauma-informed, and mindfulness.

At some point in life, perhaps now, a personal, relational, or professional crisis may pressure you toward a crossroad where you'll find yourself in unknown territory and possibly heading in a new direction. Such transitional times often feel unsettling and uncertain, even overwhelming; however, they can also be a turning point. Though difficult and often unwelcomed, this turning point can present a critical opportunity to make a real change, and finally address what you've struggled to resolve on your own, and no longer need to process alone.

Relationships are necessary and influential parts of every person’s life. Healthy interpersonal relationships are fulfilling and life-enhancing. However, every relationship is bound to encounter problems. My understanding of the importance of relationships spurs my passion for working with couples, families, and individuals who are experiencing relational struggles.

I have found myself to have an affinity for working with adults, the geriatric population, and individuals navigating challenging transitions in life, assisting clients to cope with social, emotional, crisis, relationship struggles, grief and trauma. Change and even progress often present emotional, relationship, behavioral and other seemingly insurmountable obstacles. My desire is to assist/walk with you to gain insight, develop goals, and increase problem solving and coping skills.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, with over 20 years of experience working with individuals and couples. My goal is to provide clients with a safe and collaborative relationship in which they can heal and grow. I enjoy helping people gain insight into current patterns of thinking, behaving and relating, so they can make the choices and changes necessary for a fulfilling life. Therapy can happen on so many levels, depending on your goals. Whether you are needing support, a sounding board, or deeper trauma resolution, I am here to navigate that with you.

At Mindful Solutions Counseling, I focus on increasing self-awareness, emphasizing strengths and positives, promoting changes to obtain optimal results, and enhancing all aspects toward living life and relationships to their fullest. The goal is to be proactive, reflective, creative and productive, to develop the courage to face challenges, uncertainty, and new roads, to live in present with durable fulfillment, to create purpose and meaning and to experience a rewarding life. I would like the opportunity to support you in overcoming your challenges, reach your dreams and help you move from where you are to where you want to be.

As your therapist, I provide a warm and supportive space where you can talk freely without being judged. I won't just sit there – instead, I'll ask questions, offer suggestions, and reflect on what you share. Together, we'll work on dealing with the things that are bothering you in your everyday life, be it challenges with relationships, work, or family. Whether our work is one-on-one, with you two as a couple, or with your teen, my clients gain valuable insights and practical tools to get unstuck and move forward. Imagine leaving each session feeling understood, empowered, and equipped to navigate life with confidence.

The relationship between client and therapist is essential to successful therapy. I seek to establish an empathetic, trusting relationship with clients, which provides the context for a deeper understanding of oneself and the difficulties bringing them to therapy. From this relational foundation, I work collaboratively with clients to find solutions to their problems.

My education is in addictions and social work. My experience includes working with a diversity of populations in varying capacities including: Agricultural families, alcohol/drug/ gambling treatment; domestic violence; LGBTQIA+ communities; active/veteran military/law enforcement/corrections workers/firefighters, EMS, (C-PTSD) and family members of said populations. Our Practice is linked to a number of EAP programs, and encourage people to utilize those benefits too.
