Therapists in Boulder, CO

Struggles with past discomfort and challenging memories have been impacting your focus, connections, and day-to-day life. You feel trapped in patterns that have worn out their welcome, and breaking free on your own seems daunting. Navigating the intricate landscape of trauma requires a nuanced and compassionate approach. I recognize that trauma is a deeply personal experience, impacting individuals in multifaceted ways. It's more than a singular event; it can be the echoes of past wounds, the weight of unspoken stories, or the persistent influence of adverse experiences.

I have been providing individual therapy to children, adolescents, collage age young adults and parents throughout the Boulder & Denver area's since 1995. My counseling style and therapeutic approach are unique and innovative. By using a less traditional style of therapy, I have been able to connect with and help people and families that have not found conventional therapy productive or beneficial or have found traditional therapy to have not met their needs. I use a strength-based, solution-focused, cognitive-behavioral therapy approach which is designed to treat issues that arise in our individual lives, personal relationships and families.

I find that therapy is most impactful when it is collaborative and I base my therapeutic approach on my client’s unique life experiences and individual strengths. If you have been feeling stuck, scared, or just curious, I can help you learn more about yourself, your attachment patterns, and your goals. Emotional growth and healing is a lifelong journey and together we can navigate the low points and celebrate your progress along the way. You deserve to be treated with compassion, warmth, and kindness by those around you, but most importantly by yourself.

I am licensed in Colorado with 15 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, trauma, and abuse, & intimacy related issues. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.

I'm a specialized therapist who works primarily with neurodivergence, specifically ADHD, OCD, autism & borderline spectrums, and chronic depression, anxiety, & bipolar disorders. I also have expertise in complex trauma issues, often stemming from narcissistic family systems or relationship abuse. Many of my clients possess an excellent or above-average capacity for self-reflection and introspection. However, they feel their heightened self-awareness can sometimes backfire, magnifying feelings of powerlessness and frustration when they find themselves stuck in repetitive patterns and unable to make desired changes in their behaviors.

Growth seekers, counselors (especially counselors in training), and those with loud inner critics are all good fits for my style. Some of my focus areas include adult ADHD, anxiety, stress, transitions, boundaries, body image, family relationships, attachment, codependency, and relationship issues. I am LGBTQIA+ allied and also love to work with folks from those communities. If you’re ready to grow, I’m ready to support you along the way.

I am a Psychotherapist, Dance Movement Therapist and Life Coach. The methods I employ are informed by almost 20 years experience as an educator, advisor, dance teacher, choreographer and Special Ed teacher. I specialize in working with children, teenagers, and young adults suffering with anxiety, learning disabilities, ADHD, and mild depression. I also provide individualized support to parents. My goal is to get to know you and what you desire in life. From there, we can work together to co-create a path towards healing, growth, and inspiration for your journey ahead, that honors who you are within your intersectional identities.

Hi, how is the therapist search going? It's not always easy to know who to choose. Breathe, and trust your instincts. I'm an LGBTQ+ allied therapist with specialized training in the treatment of Anxiety, Depression, Adult ADHD, Autism, Complex Trauma, Religious Trauma, and PTSD. I value a creative, collaborative approach to wellness that honors individuation, authenticity, and autonomy. My highest priority as a therapist is helping my clients gain the insight, awareness, self-compassion, and skills necessary to effectively manage mental and emotional pain and turn it to a place of emotional and mental mastery.

My passion in psychotherapy is working with adults who struggle with behavioral and mental health issues, including trauma, anxiety ADHD and a variety of personality disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder and addictions. My therapeutic approach is drawn from mindfulness-based therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, behavioral therapy, and a humanistic approach. I also offer Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Exposure and Ritual/Response Prevention (EXRP) as well as EMDR and Prolong Exposure (PE) sessions for trauma treatment. I am a Doctor of Psychology in Clinical Psychology with a Master’s Degree in Counseling Psychology.

I have worked with clients since 2001 and have a very successful practice in both in Denver and Boulder areas. I work with clients with cognitive impairment such as Attention Deficit Disorder,, Traumatic Brain Injury, Gifted, Learning disabilities, Autism and other cognitive or focus issues. I work adults, children(10+), professionals, students, adolescents, seniors.

I specialize in working with individuals with neurodevelopmental disabilities including autism, learning disabilities, intellectual disabilities, and ADHD. I work with both children and adults, providing evaluations from a neuro-positive perspective. Many of my clients have been young adults struggling with ADHD and autism as they try to navigate college and work life.

I empower people to make changes in their lives. I help clients navigate life transitions, resolve relationship issues with family, co-workers and friends and manage emotional difficulties such as anxiety and depression. Helping individuals and families address ADD/ADHD challenges and issues is another area of expertise. We work together to discover the client's strengths and resources, sources of support and identify obstacles to change. I help people increase motivation so they can take action to achieve the life they want rather than the life they wish they had.

We all have a story! Sometimes, through life's ups and downs we need a new perspective and a way to navigate through change. I provide a safe and non-judgemental environment for my clients. I believe that my job as a therapist is to work in a partnership with clients in learning more about themselves, identifying barriers in their lives, and creating strategies and solutions on how to overcome them. There is not just one way to achieve personal happiness, and I will help each client navigate their own way to achieve their goals.

Want practical recommendations to improve your life, reach your goals, and be your best self? Are you struggling with how to manage a transition in your life, your mood, attention, or time? I help individuals struggling with executive functioning and ADHD gain insight and build a personalized toolkit of skills that are aligned with their goals. I have worked with people struggling with self-regulation, organization, time management, and planning for over 10 years. We will work together to help you gain insight, identify your strengths, and build a personalized toolkit of skills that promote success.

Every person deserves a space and a relationship devoted to their own healing. People come to me to process complex and childhood trauma; to heal from PTSD and related experiences; heal their nervous systems and work through major transitions during pregnancy and postpartum; and to manage Adult ADHD and related experiences, including Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria, emotional regulation and other areas of executive functioning, anxiety, and depression. The people who benefit most from my support are interested and invested in their own healing, and work to put insights and tools gained in session into practice in their lives.

This world can be a painful and confusing place. Whether you’re struggling with men’s issues, ADHD, relationship issues, or a personal challenge, you may be wonder: Can I ever feel good about who I am? Is it even possible for me to be happy? Is it possible to heal from what I've been through? Regardless of your current situation, the answer to all of these questions is “Yes.” Others similarly situated have found a way out, and there is hope for you too. Sometimes a listening heart, a broader perspective, or new insights can help you reframe your understanding of your life. Learn how to treat yourself as if you were a good friend.

My theory is you go to a specialist for medical care and deserve the same for your mental health. I have trained in anxiety and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

Do you need support understanding your neurodivergent identity from someone who truly gets it? I'm here for you. I specialize with late-identified (after 12 yo) ADHD, Autistic and Gifted people ages 10+ who suffer from anxiety, chronic stress, overstimulation, executive dysfunction, meltdowns, depression, self-harm, suicidal thoughts, and unresolved trauma.
