I work with adults, young adults and teens who find themselves in need of extra support, whether due to sudden life changes or longer term issues.

Throughout our lives, we all face difficult situations. Human connections are vital to successfully navigate them. I work with children, adolescents, and young adults-helping my clients deepen their connections and relationships in a way that gives them the skills needed to not only work through difficult times but to thrive in the better times. To do this, I utilize a client centered, integrated, and creative approach.

Most of my clients were either not sure about therapy, or they had already had a bad experience with therapy in the past. I pride myself on giving a different kind of experience. I’m real, I show up fully, (I tend to swear a lot unless you tell me not to) I will never talk down to you or presume what is best for you. You’re in charge. My job is to listen, give feedback, and accompany you on the path that you choose. Making that first call can be nerve-wracking, but that's generally the hardest part. (you can text me, if that's easier 970-903-3893) You can learn more about me at www.durangopsychotherapy.com

As we move through life there are hurdles we encounter that can cause us to feel stuck, overwhelmed, and defeated. We may lose our sense of connection, self, or direction. Yet underneath that, I believe everyone possesses rich potential for purposeful growth and change. By cultivating resilience, nurturing curiosity, and practicing self-compassion we can soothe the parts of ourselves that need attention and feel secure in our belonging.

Hello, Thank you for considering me for your mental health journey. I call it a journey because mental health is an exploration of your life experiences and how all of those experiences have shaped your reality. Mental health therapy can help you to change your mind so that you can have more control over your new experiences. I provide Remote EMDR Therapy through secure video. If you have symptoms of anxiety or depression and it is holding you back from living your life, EMDR may help to relieve you of your symptoms and help bring your nervous system back into a balanced state so that you can have more control to make new choices

14 years in practice. Experienced with adults,couples, adolescents, and families in crisis, transition, or experiencing disappointment with life. An important question I explore with clients is: How are the events in my life trying to expand me as a being? This is a very powerful question, much more so than, "Why me?" I draw from psychological theory, neuroscience, and spirituality/mindfulness to help re-frame old, unhealthy patterns and foster acceptance and compassion for self. This occurs in a safe and loving environment that enables clients to look more closely at their own behaviors and thought patterns without defensiveness.

Many children, teens and adults struggle with relationships, emotional regulation and depression. Negative thoughts and beliefs about self and the behaviors that follow can disrupt daily functioning and have a serious impact on self-esteem and problems at home, school and work. Stress, life events and emotional and mental health challenges can feel burdensome. Life's challenges are hard to take on by yourself and I enjoy helping others move through their journey, discover their strengths and reach their goals. I love partnering with my Registered Therapy Dog, Rio and my horses for experiential learning and psychotherapy.

Do you know why flight attendants tell you to put your oxygen mask on first? So YOU can breathe. You care for others, yet somehow left yourself off the list, leaving you overwhelmed, stressed, anxious, and lost. Now you're ready to regain your energy, focus, and well-being! For the parents here: it's heartbreaking when your child struggles with difficult emotions or behaviors such as meltdowns, withdrawal, or school problems. You work hard to be the best parent you can be so your child can feel confident, resilient, and happy. Yet, you're at a loss about how to help. Whether you're here for yourself or your child, I can help.

1st session free in January 2021! I practice a style of therapy called walk and talk therapy, out of doors in all four seasons. This method utilizes nature as a tool of therapeutic engagement. I also utilize techniques from Solution Focused Therapy, Mindfulness Based Psychology, and the Gestalt approach. Movement helps integrate psychological processes into the body and psyche and the physical process of releasing endorphins during exercise enhances mood and allows for shifts in thinking. Durango's scenic beauty and quiet network of trails are the perfect place to derive the benefit of movement-based, outdoor therapy.

At the core of my approach as a counselor is the belief that we are self-healing beings with the lifelong potential for growth. I aim to create a safe, supportive, and empowering environment in which clients can create meaningful change. Within the context of a supportive counseling relationship, I use a variety of evidence-based techniques to assist you and/or your child/teen in building important skills, resolving long-standing emotional and psychological distress, and replacing harmful patterns of behavior with positive methods of coping.

Feeling anxious and/or depressed? Flat and uninspired in your life? Are you just going through the motions without actually enjoying your life? Or maybe you have changes you want to make but have not been successful? Life is full of ups and downs, grief and loss, changes in relationships, and changes within ourselves, just to name a few, are all factors that complicate life, and sometimes make it hard to live our life to the fullest.

Feeling stuck with a life issue or feeling overwhelmed? You have taken the first step realizing you may need assistance, and you want your life to be better. I would like the opportunity to discuss with you how together we may help get you or your loved ones unstuck. The key to success with any psychotherapy is a good match between therapist and client. My approach is to walk side by side with my clients in a safe environment as we sort out the primary issues that may be causing stress, or care and concerns. Also eve appointments avalible.

I am a husband, father of four children and a licensed psychologist in Durango, Colorado who provides counseling, neurofeedback training, assessment and coaching services. I am a cognitive behavioral psychologist with special training in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I have a passion for empowering people to reach their goals and aspirations for a more meaningful and fulfilling life. I encourage people and organizations to identify their values and make choices that move their life in a direction consistent with those values. I am a speaker who uses the power of the spoken word to create change, motivate and inspire.

As an equine therapist, with a background in wilderness therapy I believe in experiential work. I have experience in family work, parenting and adolescence and young adults.

As a wife and mother of two, I feel a special draw toward marriage and family. Though, I am passionate about individual work and feel this is where it all begins, whether a family is involved or not. I enjoy helping individuals respond in beneficial ways to circumstances and experiences out of one's control and to empower the path forward toward personal dreams and values. I believe it's of vital importance for people to feel heard, understood, and that they are not alone. I am continually honored to walk alongside others in the process and truly cherish each experience and story.

Hey, my name is Amy and I've been a trauma therapist for over 10 years, but have been helping individuals/adolescents/couples/families/parents for over 25 years. I have a wide arrange of specialties and I will meet you wherever you are at. "I will always follow your lead." If you prefer to just chat casually or for me to name your negative patterns directly - I'm in! Life can be stressful so let me help. Our minds are a powerful tool. Awareness is KEY!!! I love the human mind and promise to be sincere and genuine in my care throughout our relationship.

I believe that we each have what it takes to move forward and succeed in life. Sometimes things happen to us beyond our control. Other times, we simply get in our own way. I've experienced both of these situations in my life, and I believe I can help you respond to life in a way that moves you forward in the direction you want to go. The type of therapy I practice, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) provides the framework for how to live your best life. ACT's principles provide a new approach to life, a way of being in the world. I learned them as a client years ago, and I still practice them everyday in my own life.

I believe in creating a safe emotional space for healing and growth. I believe that growth and healing is within the client. I am here to help guide that growth through empowerment, various techniques and the bond that is established in the relationship. I believe that empathy, humor and honesty are essential to healing. Sometimes we feel blocked or held back in our life due to depression, trauma, relationship problems, limiting beliefs, or we just feel as though we are not achieving our full potential. I believe that not one technique works all the time and that a combination of various techniques is valuable.
