Therapists in Denver, CO

In practice over 16 years. Are you struggling with abuse or a recent trauma? Do you struggle with depression or anxiety? Do you struggle with relationships? Do you struggle with finding your path? I can help. I have worked with people for over 16 years and have found that my warm yet direct style has helped countless people uncover and connect with a deeper, stronger part of themselves. I offer a free telephone consultation to see if we would be a good fit. Life can be painful but suffering is optional.

I work with kids, t(w)eens, and young adults experiencing anxiety, depression, grief/loss, life adjustments/transitions (relationships, career/work, school), body image, identity/self-esteem, LGBTQIA+ issues, and self-harm. I prioritize meeting every client and family where they are in order to formulate an individualized treatment plan that works best for you.

People who seek out my practice are typically interested in learning about the body, mind, spirit connection. You might be seeking help to alleviate negative thought patterns, negative reactions, or have a desire to better understand your body & your nervous system. Or, you might be seeking resolution from past trauma, patterns of feeling stuck, or looming anxiety. Working with your nervous system is an important aspect of our work together, & helping you understand your unique patterns of responses including fight, flight, freeze & fawn. Cultivating deep somatic awareness can assist you towards healing and create self-awareness.

I am a Licensed Professional Art Therapist and Licensed Professional Counselor who loves using Art Therapy and Play Therapy interventions as a safe and fun way to connect with children and adolescents. I work hard to create an approachable and non-threatening atmosphere with all my clients so they can accomplish their goals and adjust to life’s challenges. I started my career in inpatient hospital settings where I developed a strong passion for helping kids, teens, and families. Now, as a Certified Positive Discipline Parent Educator, I enjoy working with parents to broaden their parenting toolkits.

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.

Transitions are part of life, and yet some feel overwhelming. At such times, you may need a community to walk alongside you. In reaching out, you have taken that first courageous step toward healing. Together we will explore how you might get back on track, or perhaps forge a new path. Through compassionate exploration of your strengths, you may find it is possible to find your footing. I specialize in adults from all walks of life and challenges that any stage may present, such as anxiety, depression, dual diagnoses, life transitions, parenting, relational challenges, somatic, spirituality, trauma-focused, women's issues, and more.

Clients work with me to find the person hidden behind the protective walls they have built up to feel safe. They need, and want, to feel close to family and friends again but are scared it might not work out in their favor. Their goals are often to love themselves, speak up for themselves, and know they are capable no matter how hard life may be in this season. My clients want to let the past be the past and have their future go the way they've envisioned for so long.

Sometimes we face challenges that seem insurmountable, leaving us feeling stuck and hopeless. Therapy can provide the support necessary to overcome hardship and help us take steps toward happiness and fulfillment. As your therapist, I believe that you have the resiliency required to overcome the toughest challenges. No one should have to trudge alone through trying times. I look forward to walking with you on your journey!

My approach is to help people recover from anxiety, trauma, PTSD, depression, grief and loss, eating disorders, adoption issues, perfectionism, difficult family relationship dynamics and feeling "not enough" no matter how hard you try. I know that taking the first step is big, and you've probably already been working really hard to manage things yourself. Let's work together in a productive way and get your life going in the direction that you want. Contact me for a free 15 minute consultation to discuss what you need.

Sometimes the strength you show is really hiding the shame and fear you are actually feeling. Difficult experiences in life like loss, grief, parenting, anxiety, depression or trauma might be why you need help, but giving yourself permission to ask feels overwhelming and impossible. Maybe you are the parent of a struggling child or adolescent who just cannot seem to find their way through anxiety and depression. Perhaps you are a teen wondering why life has to be so hard. Maybe the trauma of your past has taken up residence in your present. No matter what you are facing, You do not have to do it alone.

I support highly sensitive and gifted children (as well as their parents) in growing towards their greatest potential. I also support women in clearing blocks to their truest authenticity and stepping into a life of their greatest desire. Learn much more on my website: rootedrhythm.com

My role is to help support you to lead happier, healthier life. Sometimes this means lessening your symptoms of anxiety or depression, or maybe it's working towards a specific goal like changing jobs or making friends. It can also look like wanting to find your true, authentic self, which can be exploring gender, sexuality, life after loss, or even just trying to figure out who you are!

I support individuals in their teens, 20s, and 30s who are navigating anxiety, trauma, and attachment challenges. I specialize in EMDR and ego states therapy to help people gain a better understanding of themselves, improve relationships, and work through past experiences while gaining coping strategies. I treat anxiety, depression, PTSD, disordered eating, mood and dissociative disorders. I provide a compassionate space for you to navigate life transitions, relationships, process experiences, and gain insight in a path towards healing. I am accepting clients for in-person therapy in the Denver area, and telehealth across CO and FL.

So many therapists, so little time. The good news? By the end of a short phone call, you’ll probably have a sense of whether I’m likely to be the right one. Why? Well, there is something about the sense of comfort and general experience that is so important for successful therapy but is so hard to tell in advance. Usually, you get a clear sense just from the phone call: Did you even get a call back from the therapist? Was it awkward? Easy? Did they really listen? What does your gut say? Ten minutes and you’re done done with the first part.

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.

There is a brilliance in each of us that can guide us through the dark. My work with clients facilitates the process of discovering that brilliance, tapping into their own innate strengths and wisdoms, and provides space to unfold into a life that is gratifying, meaningful, and authentic. I approach my work with clients with empathy, compassion, and non-judgment.

If you are a teen or adult who has experienced trauma, grief, life transitions, self-esteem concerns, depression or anxiety, I offer a safe supportive space. I provide an environment for clients to express and understand themselves using a client-centered approach, along with expressive arts, CBT and solution-focused therapy to help clients reach their goals. My approach is non-judgemental, creative, and empowering. I'm passionate about providing therapeutic support for members of the LBGTQIA+ community. Together we can help you set boundaries, highlight on your strengths and build your supports.

I take a somewhat novel approach to therapy, and I work best with individuals experiencing high levels of stress and anxiety due to anxiety disorders, life transitions, trauma and relationship issues. I work to help people in high stress careers overcome anxiety, lead a more productive life, and make room for the important relationships that provide a sense of meaning. I enjoy working with people who are motivated to change, but feel stuck and do not know exactly where to start.

Making changes is hard. This is true whether you are exhausted and know something needs to change, are considering taking a stand against depression or anxiety, or are navigating through a major life transition: the birth of a child, the loss of a loved one, the ending or beginning of a relationship, starting or changing a career. You don't need to do it alone. Feel like yourself again; our counselors can help.
