Therapists in Denver, CO

I am currently licensed in both CO & FL(virtually) to work with clients! Welcome - congratulations for taking one of the hardest steps towards improving your mental health! Maybe you have found yourself on my page because you recognize that something is not working in your life and you are wanting to make changes. You deserve the space to heal and understand patterns in your life that might be causing stress, anxiety, loneliness, depression or strains in relationships. Life is not meant to just be survived, it is to be experienced to the fullest potential and we can discover that in the therapy room!

It is my belief that we all have an innate desire to connect, feel heard, and be understood. My therapeutic approach is grounded in this belief, and it is my hope that we will create a meaningful therapy that is validating and encouraging, yet simultaneously challenging enough to be a catalyst for meaningful growth. Because change often occurs as a byproduct of a connected and understanding relationship, a critical task of therapy is to help you explore, understand, and challenge what meanings you have made of your experiences, and in so doing, facilitate a new experience of yourself or your relationships.

Accepting new clients! I am passionate about helping my clients to become the very best versions of themselves but understand that even the small steps are a huge leap in achieving this. Some of my specialties include life changes, anxiety, depression, fostering relationships, and all that comes with being a young adult.

Do your obsessions and compulsions impact your daily life, leaving you feeling exhausted? Do you feel dragged down by self-defeating thoughts? Are you struggling to move past those challenging, or even traumatic experiences? I understand that living with the invisible burden of OCD, depression, anxiety, trauma, and even navigating life transitions can be an isolating and scary experience. You are not alone in how you are feeling. My top priority as a therapist is for clients to feel comfortable working with me, and for you to see sustained positive change from our work together.

Allow me to help resolve and overcome the road blocks in your life. I am a licensed counselor that specializes in child, adolescent, and adult issues including trauma, self-esteem, depression, grief/loss, and anxiety. I believe the adjustment to parenthood can be quite challenging and therefore work with new parents in a variety of post partum issues as the transition is made in their new life. I believe when problems are not addressed, they become magnified and all encompassing. I value each individual's therapeutic journey and enjoy the role in helping facilitate this!

I strongly believe in the protective and positive intention of all challenging emotions and patterns of thought. My goal is to help my clients explore the sources of these patterns, listen to their unmet needs, and then work with these feelings in order to get the need met in a healthy way. I also encourage clients to increase their tolerance of these uncomfortable emotions, which then allows for growth. I validate, support, and accept clients right where they are, while also challenging them to take the lead in their progress and personal growth.

This is my divine identity to help others fulfill their purpose and heal those in need. I am very much a realist and transparent about my approach to therapy regarding life transitions. I am a firm believer that in order to grow you must know how to water the seeds within.

Who listens to you? Perhaps your relationships are strained, or you're going through a major life transition. Trauma, marriage, births, divorce, career changes, and death are just some major life changes that emotionally trap and isolate us. If you've realized only you can make needed changes, then now is the time to take action. I work with individuals, directly focusing on working through and integrating events, helping accepting a new identity, and encouraging strengths to achieve goals. Life hits hard, know yourself, and learn to overcome and conquer your fears.

Do you ever feel like your emotions are imbalanced, and you can't put your finger on why or how to manage them? Sometimes, when our feelings are unpredictable, it can lead to added stress, panic attacks, and personal reactions that may catch us off guard. Trauma, anxiety, and significant life changes, like a move or new job, can affect the way we respond in sensitive circumstances. You may want to discover the why, or you may just want to figure out a solution to regulate the turbulence and navigate the uncertainty.

Currently accepting new clients! - Hi! I'm Kearsten and I am so glad you have landed on my page.

I pride myself on meeting my clients where they are at on their journey and working as a team to help clients grow, heal, and transform.
