Chronic Illness Therapists in Pitkin County, CO

Being a teenager is harder now than it has ever been. Adolescence is a demanding developmental time for the entire family system, but the adolescent years don’t need to be filled with chaos and confusion. Instead, we can support our young people to embrace change and live with a deep sense of community, connection, and confidence.

I am a compassionate, interactive, and direct therapist. I provide a supportive, curious and safe environment to facilitate the personal exploration and growth you are committed to achieving.

You are having a hard time. I get it. So frustrating! If you have chronic pain, I just may be the therapist for you. Lets discuss. I specialize in working with clients who are challenged by anxiety, chronic pain and trauma. I have a warm, compassionate and direct style.

I am a clinical psychologist with over 20 years of experience helping individuals adjust to and cope with chronic physical symptoms and medical conditions. I focus on the symptom(s) that is(are) disrupting your life and teach skills that are known to help with management of the symptom. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to, insomnia, chronic pain, headache, GI distress, cardiac, allergy, respiratory issues, coping with side effects of medications, and other symptoms that interfere with daily functioning. I work with adults and am happy to include family members and other socially supportive friends.

For over 25 years I have worked with clients of all ages and backgrounds, people who may find themselves struggling through a life crisis, interpersonal struggles, or just wanting to improve the quality of their own life. I proudly adhere to my social work Code of Ethics, and work in an atmosphere free of any judgement or shame. I am always mindful and respectful of boundaries and confidentiality. I have a full time practice where I enjoy working with individuals, couples and families.

As a Licensed Psychotherapist and Certified Holistic Health Coach based in Aspen, Colorado, I follow a holistic and integrative mind-body approach to your mental health founded in the latest research in relational neuroscience, modern attachment and nutritional psychology to help clients identify and overcome their emotional and physical blocks to psychological wellbeing and vibrant health. My clients tend to be high achieving, high functioning individuals who also struggle with anxiety, relationships, self-doubt, depression, chronic health conditions and past hurts that are getting in the way of experiencing truly satisfying lives.

Hello! I bring almost 30 years experience working in the Aspen area providing a variety of services for children, adolescents, adults and families. My passion is being able to connect with each person individually to uncover their strengths while providing a safe and naturing environment to assist them in reaching their goals. I am just a guide, only you know your story and through therapy a new narrative can emerge. I am experienced in treating mood disorders, trauma, anxiety, depression, substance abuse, eating disorders, grief, life transitions and stressors. There is hope and you can feel better. It is never too late.

Will therapy help? Yes! Therapy can improve your relationships with others as well as your relationship with yourself. Together we can identify where you are stuck and how to move forward to build more meaning in your life. Evidence-based skills and strategies can help you make concrete changes in your everyday life. I am a licensed clinical psychologist with expertise in the treatment of depression, anxiety, insomnia, grief and trauma. My approach integrates evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and mindfulness. Treatment is active, practical and skills-based.

Psychotherapy is a confidential and creative relationship where you may find the power to heal, grow, explore, deepen, and transform. I believe in treatment that is engaging, dynamic, inspiring, and integrated where the provider is supportive, humble, inquiring, inquisitive, challenging, and honest. You may be experiencing life at the harshest, most cruel moment or suffering where no one seems to understand. Emotional distress from depression, anxiety, anger, grief, loss, and trauma often feels much worse than any physical pain. Perhaps you want to make a change, expand your relationships and find meaning in your world.

As a licensed therapist, I enjoy working with individuals in all stages of life (adults, children, teens, and families). After spending years as a Denver based mental health clinician, I am thrilled to return to private practice in my hometown of the Roaring Fork Valley. I am able to help address a wide range of challenges that we all struggle with at certain points in our lives, including anxiety, trauma, grief, motivation, relationships, depression, and more. Sessions are always grounded in my clients' sense of a trusting and positive therapeutic relationship. This is the foundation from which our work together begins.

Hello! I am a Clinical Psychologist who focuses on bringing more vitality and meaning to everyday life. I approach therapy from a lens that is both intellectual and creative, to catalyze intentional change and foster optimal well-being. Working together would include learning about neuroscience, gaining a deep understanding of how things work, and why things work in the brain. We will also bring awareness to life patterns that are getting in the way. If you are feeling stuck, unmotivated, and out of sync, my goal is to help you find your own path back to the spark of life. Reach out! We aren't meant to do this alone.

With 18 years of clinical experience, I have provided insight-oriented psychotherapy to individuals in the valley for over 13 years now. I believe it is important to carefully tailor therapy to the needs of each individual client and in cooperation with the client. My orientation is predominantly Jungian and my roots are in Depth Psychology, providing the foundation for most of my therapeutic work. Eastern contemplative psychology is also frequently integrated into the treatment. I have experience treating individuals struggling with life questions or transitions, depression, anxiety, substance abuse or self-esteem issues.

I believe that each client, child or adult, is an individual and should be treated as such. Because of this I tailor my treatment modality to fit the specific needs of those whom I see. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I have the ability to work with a wide variety of clientele. I have a passion for working with children and adolescents because of the complicated issues so many of them face. Overall, I seek to create the safety of a mutual relationship in which clients can begin to discover their inspiration from within.

When you heal and grow your family, your community and the world begins to heal. We get caught in living in what I call 'the comfort of our discomfort' and making change and breaking patterns can feel more than challenging. It is my passion to assist you in healing and growing.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Candidate, Addiction Counselor Candidate, Integrative Nutrition Health Coach, and Yoga Teacher. I’ve had a long-standing passion for both mental and physical health. I take a holistic approach to psychotherapy, integrating the body and the environment into our work on managing mental health symptoms.

It is not easy to seek support and I am honored to be considered as someone who could help. I work with individuals & couples with a range of issues using both short and long-term therapy. As a Psychologist, I am trained to work with various issues related to well-being and distress. A few of my specialty areas include trauma, sexual concerns, depression, anxiety, relational work, infertility concerns and perinatal/postpartum depression and working with therapists. Overall, my approach is holistic and relational; I give the utmost attention to the therapeutic relationship as well as how people relate to others in their lives.

On the outside, you look super successful, likely the poster child for how things “ought to be”. You went to a good school, have a rewarding career and maybe got married and had some amazing kids. You have done what you expected would make you FEEL accomplished, grateful, and happy. Except that you don’t. Lately, coloring inside the lines isn’t giving you the same ‘HIT’ it used to. Instead, you are wondering “Whose rules are these anyway and why do I need to keep following them?” The gap between what is expected and how you truly feel inside keeps growing wider. You're tired- and feeling alone, disillusioned, and conned.

We are all in this together. Life presents many obstacles and the obstacles that are most difficult are unexpected. You do not have to try fix it by yourself. Healing happens with another person present who is trained to help you sort out your feelings and emotions. All of the emotions that you have swept under the rug are asking to be acknowledged. The emotions don’t go away. They present themselves as depression and anxiety. Let’s work together to explore the source of distress and create joy and resilience in your life. Joy and resilience are the birth right of every human being.

For over twenty years, I've been helping individuals, couples, and families struggling with a range of problems including, but not limited to: anxiety, depression, ADD, bipolar disorder, eating disorders, marital and family distress, infidelity, and sexual addictions. Working as a therapist, researcher, and professor in medical settings throughout my career (University of Texas Medical Branch, University of Nebraska Medical Center) has informed my work with individuals and families to provide whole-personal care, integrating mind, body, and spirit.
