Adults Therapists in Arvada, CO

Trauma, by definition, is "a deeply distressing or disturbing experience." Everyone has experienced a traumatic experience at some point. Sometimes we can process those experiences and carry on with our lives without any problem. Sometimes those experiences cause us to feel stuck, have increased anxiety, and irritability, have nightmares and be easily triggered. -It doesn't have to stay that way.- New Foundation Counseling provides trauma-focused therapy to all, regardless of age, gender, race, political or spiritual affiliation. Everyone is welcome. We specialize in working with pre-teens/teens and the LGBTQ+ community/allies..

Life can be difficult, often leaving us feeling lost and isolated. 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.

I'm Maureen Malcolm, LPC, co-founder and psychotherapist at iSeek Counseling PLLC, a group practice with locations in Parker and Arvada. We offer in-person and telehealth appointments. We offer psychotherapy services to people from all walks of life. Some areas of expertise include anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, women’s issues, LGBTIQA+ concerns, self-esteem, individuals with disabilities, loss of independence, dementia, aging, grief and loss, death and dying, caregiver burnout, chronic pain and chronic illness.

An unbalanced life can feel overwhelming. Maybe you notice you can’t relax. Your body feels tight all the time, your sleep is disrupted, or you don’t feel enjoyment in the activities that you used to love. There are many ways to alleviate these symptoms. In my therapy practice, I help clients address issues of burnout, anxiety, perfectionism, lack of coping skills, stress, and low-self esteem among many other challenges.

I am a licensed clinical social worker with 25 years of experience. My areas of expertise are children,adolescents, family issues and substance abuse issues. I am a registered play therapist who uses a non-directive approach to play therapy. My expertise in working with stepfamilies expands over 30 years. When working with children, I focus on the entire family utilizing the systems approach, along with cognitive behavioral therapy. I am trained in somatic experiencing (SE), through the Intermediate Level, which allows me the opportunity to work with your trauma to assist in moving you toward a healthier place in your body.

I am an integrative neurotherapist/psychotherapist, trauma specialist, and owner of an integrative brain-body wellness center called NeuroGrove. The people that come to us are often struggling with cognitive or emotional challenges, such as anxiety, posttraumatic stress, depression, attention deficits, memory issues, "mystery illnesses", or lasting effects following a concussion/brain injury. Many of these clients' struggles have not been adequately resolved through conventional medicine or psychotherapy alone, or they are looking for effective natural alternatives.

I am a licensed professional counselor with experience working with individuals, families and groups. I enjoy working with clients of all ages, but I have a special affinity for early adolescents and teenagers. My experiences as an educator serve as the foundation for working with these clients and their families. I use a client-centered approach and believe my clients are experts in their own lives. I view my role as therapist as a facilitator who assists clients in discovering their own truths and gaining a deeper sense of themselves.

Anxiety, stress, and low self-esteem making you feel like there must be more to life than what you are currently experiencing? Has your relationship with your partner, spouse, or children left you wanting more from these connections? Sometimes the monotony of life gets in the way of us becoming the people we want to be. I believe each individual, couple, and family have particular gifts and qualities that make them unique and I love exploring and harnessing these strengths with you to become the best version of yourself.

Therapy is a gift you give yourself when you decide to take charge and improve your life. I view therapy as an opportunity to identify and explore patterns with others so that you can improve them and create more meaningful, supportive relationships. When stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, or addiction have created barriers to living authentically and creating meaningful connections with others, it can feel incredibly isolating. I am here to help you bridge that gap and start the healing journey.

Empowering, Holistic Transformation: Experience an approach that integrates your mind, body & spirit. If you have already invested in therapy/personal growth work, have gained insight into your trauma patterns and are ready to deepen your work; If you feel ready to move beyond the old story of yourself and know you ultimately create your reality; if you want to relate to yourself & others with more nervous system regulation, acceptance and an open heart; If you are on a consciousness expanding journey and need support in integrating these experiences into your life; If you are a helper/healer needing help... we may be a good fit.

I recognize that taking the first step to seek out professional counseling can be a big one. I work with both individuals and couples to achieve their goals. We work on things like managing anxiety, relationship issues, sex and intimacy, dealing with life's transitions, and increasing coping skills. Many couples come to therapy having difficulty communicating and expressing their needs. With more people working from home and spending time cooped up together it is increasingly important to understand and communicate with your partner. It can be an opportunity to understand each other on deeper more meaningful level.

Have you found yourself in the grips of addiction? Are you unsure if you can ever find freedom? Having a substance control your life can feel isolating and debilitating, but you have found the courage to take the first step towards relief.

I am eager to learn more about your story and see how best we can work together to help you find the life you are desiring. I hope to offer a safe, comforting place for you to be seen and heard.

There has to be more to Mental Care than crisis management, disorders, illnesses, or diagnosis labeling. We are proactive in the maintenance of our bodies, yet, we neglect the "main computer" the mind, the psyche, the CORE of us. We, at CORE, believe in working hard - Mental Health Boot Camp - if you get the drift. Compassion is abundant at CORE but not in the form of soft talk. You are doing hard work and we take it serious. As a team we will discover those aspects of "self" that make us all so amazing. We will walk together sharing life's stories and how they do or do not define who you are at our CORE.

Do you spend too much time staring at a screen, constantly bombarded with an avalanche of information? Are you looking for an effective way to cope in a world that never stops putting you under pressure? My sessions can help you find healthy ways to unplug and refocus. I am a highly trained and compassionate counselor who specializes in helping clients who suffer from anxiety and depression.

Emotions impact and affect the body causing us to hold them on a physical level. I work with the mind-body connection, utilizing mindfulness techniques, Neurofeedback/EEG Biofeedback, EMDR, breath work, and meditation, viewing the body as a whole to address trauma, depression, anxiety, and life transitions. As a somatic therapist, I combine these techniques to help clients become aware of trauma stored in the body, and work to resolve the trauma and empower the client. I engage the wisdom of the body to heal trauma, depression and anxiety, and move through life transitions by unifying the mind-body connection.

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.
