Therapists in Arvada, CO

I'm honored to work with people in the midst of difficult times. I am skilled in building collaborative relationships with my clients to access their integrity, perseverance and authentic presence to address problems ranging from the everyday to the existential. I provide individualized care rather than “one size fits all” therapy. Let's work together to move towards greater feelings of aliveness.

Dealing with trauma and past hurts, struggling with work, relationships, or addiction, managing depression & anxiety or to better understand one's gender identity or sexuality - it isn't easy to address any of these things. I see therapy as a safe, judgment-free, shame-free, and confidential space, where you are free to vent, confide, cry, discuss, imagine, find strength, and be empowered. Most importantly, therapy is a place for hope to come alive, to learn new coping skills, to achieve personal growth, and to discover you are strong, valuable, and greater than any struggle you might have. Change is possible!

Hi there! I’m Kayla, owner and sole therapist of Scenic Heights Counseling. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Candidate (LPCC) and specialize in sex therapy and therapy for adult individuals and couples/relationships. I believe that everyone can benefit from therapy when provided with a safe and affirming space to explore the issues that come with being human. It’s my goal to provide that space for you and to help you get back in touch with your authentic self.

Sometimes, feelings convince you to stay where you are because it feels safe. Moving forward takes a willingness and commitment to change; it is very tough to tackle this change alone. Randi Racenstein, Licensed Masters Level Social Worker since 1996 and Certified Fearless Living Life Coach, could be your guiding light and anchor on this perceived to be intimidating journey. She has helped a wide variety of populations, including parents and children with special needs, geriatrics, teenagers and adults, people struggling with alcohol/drug abuse, and others who simply want to find out more about who they are.

Life can be difficult, often leaving us with a loss of direction, feelings of anxiety, depression, and isolation. Together we can explore what might feel chaotic or overwhelming to gently being to process and unpack, identifying personalized coping tools, strategies, and plans for your personal growth.

Joey Stoops is a Licensed Professional Counselor Candidate. He holds a masters in clinical mental health counseling from Naropa University in Boulder, Colorado. He works with adolescents and adults in individual telehealth sessions. Joey's approach to therapy is that there are no bad parts of ourselves, but that parts of ourselves cause suffering by being disconnected from the Self. By reconnecting lost parts with our Self we can live more empowered and authentic lives. The stories we tell are an important part of who we are. And they often lead us to the unprocessed pain we carry.

I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist. I offer a variety of behavioral health services and specialize in Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).

The good news is that you are thinking about making a change. It is ok if you are not sure. I help clients sort through their reasons for making a change and for staying the same. We work together to uncover what is holding you back. In this process there are often images, myths or dreams that show up and that help guide change process. I encourage and support clients to explore the hidden gifts found in the shadow places in their lives and help them shed light on the purpose of old patterns before replacing them with something new and more effective.

I offer individual therapy for adults and adolescents who are experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma/ptsd, relationship problems and work or school stress. If you are seeking support and looking to develop healthy ways to cope with life's challenges, get in touch.

All change involves loss. All loss involves change. Even those changes we choose, can be challenging and maybe painful. Yet in nearly all situations, we have the power to choose how we respond. “Every choice we make takes us closer to or further from where we want to be.” Whether the choice has to do with some exciting possibility or tragedy and trauma from illness, death, assault or a failing relationship, it’s all about our choices. Helping people decide where they want to be, and evaluating whether their choices take them closer to or further from that destination, is what my practice is about.
